Perhaps one day you can travel with your telescope to a planet to add earth to your collection.

Lucky for him, the moon has plenty of cheese, and you cam see the Erath clearly from there.

JasonWalton1918 t1_iucnpqn wrote

That's a good cam to zoom in enough to see Erath Winery in Oregon. I think OP wants the entire planet that winery exists on, though.

Stop breaking his balls. He got all the planets to line up like that and you mofos still aren’t happy!

No joke, I looked at this picture for way long thinking “but one is missing” because it’s too early and I’m half asleep.

The background is black because thats his picture of the telescope pointed down.

Take a selfie with yourself on the toilet. That's the best representation of Earth.

Beautiful, I’m just waiting for the first person to say “Where’s Earth”😂

it would be a fantastic joke to just have a square picture of some dirt where the earth should be

I almost asked where is Pluto... and then I got sad remembering.

Few_Carpenter_9185 t1_iuchgk9 wrote

OP could have just pointed the telescope down at their shoes or something.

Well, probably not with a Dob. And focus would be impossible.

Just a basic smartphone pic of the shoes in grass or whatever, cropped into a circle just a smidge bigger than Venus would have been funny.

Pluto is still a planet. I don’t care what anyone says.

Here is some of my best planetary work this year put together in this collage. They're not 1:1 scale, but this is their apparent size when viewed from Earth at 5400mm with a 10 inch telescope (except for Uranus and Neptune, I upscaled those by 200% for aesthetic purposes). From left to right: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. All imaged in RGB except for Uranus which is (R)RGB using a 610nm filter to bring out the polar cap, and Mercury and Venus used IR data as well with 807nm filter. To take these images I used my Skywatcher 10" GoTo Dobsonian, X-Cel 3x barlow, ZWO ADC, and ASI178 camera + filters. As well as a variety of software: SharpCap, AutoStakkert, Registax/AstroSurface, and GIMP.

Nice! Was going to ask if they were all at the same magnification. Thanks for clarifying.

I love how fake they look. Like 3rd rock from the sun but in real life

Your presentation is spot on. I mean it would have been easy to stick it in a grid but I love what you did.......

JimmyJazz1971 t1_iubmes8 wrote

I've never seen Uranus look so sharp. I've always found it to be very fuzzy like Neptune through the eyepiece. I've never tried to image it, though.

mossberbb t1_iubp933 wrote

your mars shot with that 10 inch is remarkable. as is some of the farther planets. wow.

Doobiepoo t1_iubesrv wrote

Wow, what kind of telescope is this? And do you ever see UFOs?

J3RRYLIKESCHEESE OP t1_iubgwew wrote

It's a 10 inch GoTo Dobsonian, and I have yet to see any UFOs but I see tiny satellites flying by all the time :)

If you're old enough you may remember the last big syzygy (what a weird-ass word... Greek, makes sense.) in 1982 that was supposed to cause massive earthquakes and disruption on Earth, geomagnetic storms etc.

Made famous by the schlock-science book "The Jupiter Effect" published in 1974.

I guess "Jupiter Effect" because it has the most mass. And sounded good as a book title.

The gravitational pull of all the planets on one side of the sun would raise storms, CME's etc. alter the weather just enough to place a tiny amount of stress on the angular momentum of Earth's rotation, and set off the San Andreas fault etc.

Made for good fodder on slow news days leading up to the big day in 1982. I guess WWIII with the Soviets breaking out on any given day wasn't good enough. Nor was the creepy Leonard Nimoy voiceover on "In Search Of:" re-runs warning about the killer bees coming up from Mexico.

Honestly, the fast and dramatic stuff like the Jupiter Effect, WWIII, and killer bee swarms seemed preferable to the more mundane slow grind of starvation through overpopulation when the world passed 5 billion, and freezing in the next ice-age that was coming, while OPEC refused to sell oil to the U.S. etc., that media and pop-culture drilled into kids heads through the decade prior.

Hell, ABC "Schoolhouse Rock" was trying to subtly prepare us kids for the inevitable post-meat futue with "Beans and Rice is Nice". At least until we hit the final wall in the terminal Soylent Green phase of industrialized second-hand cannibalism, in the far-flung futue of 2022...

Ahh... the 80's. Good times.

All of those planets can fit inside of the space between earth and the moon’s orbit.

Good job, this is beautiful! Do you mind sharing your setup? I plan to do the same one day and wanted have an idea of pricing, etc.

J3RRYLIKESCHEESE OP t1_iubt6ys wrote

Thanks! And sure, here's my setup: a Skywatcher 10" GoTo Dob, x-cel 2x/3x barlow, zwo adc, and an asi178mc camera + uv ir cut, 610nm, and 807nm filters.

Great photos! Stupid me was frowning at the picture for a few second thinking why you would not include the earth lol.

So cool! Saturn looks so nice.

Years ago I took Astronomy. I had to go to 2 observatory at the time I got to look in one the telescopes saw Jupiter and it’s four moons. It was amazing. Jupiter looks awesome

Dr_Darkroom t1_iucfpw9 wrote

Dang, they should put a mirror in orbit so people like yourself can get a shot of Earth! That would be something.

J3RRYLIKESCHEESE OP t1_iucgf5o wrote

Hmm, that's actually not a bad idea lol

That would have to be a pretty big mirror, I think

JustVega t1_iuck7p0 wrote

Space is one of those things that humbles me as an insignificant life form just going about. The vastness and distances between our planet and stars or other planets is insane. There’s so much out there and for me I’d want to see it if I could. One of my favorite dreams was one that started off scary then filled me with awe and calm. Weightless in a shuttle looking out seeing the earth with that dark backdrop. One of those dreams i never wanted to end.

Oh cool pictures/collage. Sorry I got rambling lol

Amazing. What program did you use to stack the frames when shooting every planet?

I used Sharpcap to shoot the videos and then AutoStakkert to stack the best frames :)

Beautiful bro. I want to get a decent scope but there are so many and I don't know enough about them. Been hooked on space since I say Hailey's comet when I was s young kid. 43 now but still only gonna see that one once in a lifetime.

J3RRYLIKESCHEESE OP t1_iuk9twr wrote

Get an apertura AD8 dobsonian or ad12 if you're looking for something bigger; they are cheap and easy to use. Using a sky chart or Stellarium app will help you locate objects. It ain't GoTo (motorized) so you'll have to point it by hand, but it will give you some unforgettable views of the planets, and under truly dark skies you can even make out spiral arms of some galaxies and some of the brighter nebula

Can you tell me exact cost for buying a telescope and camera to get such stunning photos?

I'd say around $2500 USD. Telescope is around 1700, camera is 250 and other accessories will be another 300-400
