Yes, I know 144 pixels is small. I have a 2.4X barlow that would boost it to about 345 pixels - still pretty small. I don't have the right adapters for my camera at the present time. I am not sure this would be a reasonable time to get them either. I don't really have much need for them, and I won't be around town all that long.

You need a bigger image at the focal plane. On Mon, Jan 12, 2015 at 4:21 PM, Brent Watson via Utah-Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> wrote: I am going to attempt to observe this. Being as it is in January, the weather may be (probably will be) an issue. I may attempt it from my hangar in Bountiful - that's where my scopes are. I think the seeing will also be better there than from my home. I can also use the hangar for a warming building, and for catching a few z's between critical times. Anyone care to join in on the fun? If I use my refractor, it looks like Jupiter would subtend about 144 pixels on my Sony A77 camera. That is not many. I may try an image or two, but will probably just observe visually.

Is anyone planning to observe/photograph Jupiter and the triple "eclipse"
of Callisto, Io and Europa on the night of Jan 23/24? _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
