The focus is not as good as the above, but the colors are more vivid. North is down. Taken on December 31, 1998. A higher magnification and a longer exposure time leaves the image more vulnerable to the blurring effects of Earth's atmosphere. Lower magnifications generally yield sharper images, so magnification is the least important feature of a telescope.
North is to the upper left.
Taken on October 14, 1999. Jupiter's cloud bands are showing up nicely. The fourth large moon of Jupiter, Callisto, was visible this night, but too far from the planet to be caught in the frame. North is up. Taken on October 28, 1999.
