Equipment

Orion skyscanner 100mm telescope, svbony 2x Barlow lens, 3x Barlow lens, 10mm eyepiece, Samsung galaxy M21 on a smartphone adapter.

Processed in PIPP, Autostakkert.

Composited in Adobe Photoshop and Snapseed.

The image is not in the relative sizes tho. (Not to scale)

At first I was like, “oh shoot there was an alignment!?”

And then I looked closer and read. Nice photos!

Haha thanks!

Other comps are cool but this will just confuse stupid people who see it.

Also, you are great and continue.

Thank you!

This is fake! Jupiter is bigger than the moon!

You’re fake for not knowing how to read his description. Also. Distance plays a big role in the size we see

I think someone missed the joke

You're fake for not knowing how to read their joke.

Cut him a break. You can’t hear the whoosh in the cold, dark vacuum of space.

i'm surprised that jupiter even has the details

Whoosh is a dish best served cold.

And it's awfully cold in Spaace

Very nice, are these to scale from Earth view? Or are Jupiter/Saturn captured with a higher magnification?

Thank you! They are not for scale. Higher magnification.

Validation

Is this photo about the relative sizes of the planets and the moon? Looks cool tho.

You're fake for not being the creator of Myspace.

You can’t not hear that in Ricardo Montalbán’s voice.

That’s a pretty valid point you got there

This looks on par with looking through an 8” dob. Are these images reflective of what you see looking through the scope yourself?

Not really. The amount of detail I see with my naked eyes is a little less than these images. I stacked the best frames for above images. Thanks!

[removed]

I was hoping they were. 8” dob is heavy and maybe not worth the aperture fever. Nice images.

So maybe a 12 inch will do for really great images?

Get strong and look at cool stuff

I once went to my university observatory with a 16 inch Newtonian, sadly where I live the skies aren't great, even with clear skies I don't recall Jupiter and Saturn looking any better than the images you have here. The detail on the moon was much better though

What a unique alignment. Is this why none of the shit is going right in my life?

Atmospheric conditions play an important role for sure.

You should be impressed with what you could achieve with only 4"!

That’s gorgeous! What telescope are you using?

Thankfully I’ve read the description first hehe. Nice work OP!

The original comment said, “This is fake!”

This makes me think of the Romulan Senator holding up a vial and saying, “It’s a faaaake!”

Thank you!

I can hear Richard Strauss play in my head just looking at this picture. Although, reading that it is a composite was a bit of a led-down

[removed]

It's a composite image

And no, that's just you

Your composition had very noticable banding on my screen.

I couldn't do these kind of photo, but a simple edit for you.

The moon got bigger??!?!?!???!?!!!?!!?!!!?!?!!?!!?!!?&!??!??$!???!!??!!?!!21211???!?1!!?!111?!?!?!?

Awesome pic! Thanks for sharing c:

The moon's bloom is cut off on top and bottom and it annoyed me so I "fixed it". Hope you dont mind.

Also, pls tell me if it looks good. On my editing software it looks ok but in windows photo viewer looks like crap lol.

Nice image! my tip would be to try processing the image with wavelets in registax 6 after autostakkert. Really brings out details and sharpening. Its free and there are a few tutorials about for it.

I can't see what you fixed in this. I'm sorry.

[removed]

Well well well, would ya look at mister space expert ova here.

the "glow" around the moon, its cut... nvm its nothing important. just "fixed" it for myself and thought some people might be interested. clearly not. lol.
sorry.

Again, great pic. I made it my wallpaper.

No problem and thanks!
