How to Photograph Jupiter


I went to the Northeast Astronomy Forum today, in Rockland County.  It is a two-day yearly gathering with every piece of astronomy hardware you could possible imagine, and wonderful speakers on all kinds of astronomy topics.  This is Christopher Go, who flew here all the way from the Philippines.  He is one of the very best amateur planetary imagers on the planet!  He gave a great talk explaining how he does it, in case any of us want to try it.  Look at that magnificent image of Jupiter just over his shoulder!

  1. Wow- hardly recognized him in his suit - when he came to Tucson he spoke wearing a t-shirt! -Dean

  2. Apparently he gave his talks at the imaging conference with informal dress. This was the giant auditorium venue for the whole of NEAF on Saturday and Sunday.
