Darn, I’m not sure where to look!

When I look at Jupiter, it is too bright to see anything but a hint of the orange band. Saturn shows up exactly like that picture. Just a more dim to let the detail show.

That’s a crazy photo considering Saturn is twice the distance from Earth as Jupiter.

Now that is a fantastic shot. Even I can recognize which is Saturn and which is Jupiter. Beautiful Pic.

What sort of telescope would one need to see images like that?

It was cloudy around here, but I got one only slightly obscured picture.

Interesting picture. Perhaps there is some sort of optical distortion, but I thought the rings of Saturn and the bands of Jupiter were both aligned with the plane of the solar system.

By the way, as a kid, I always thought *that* was the way you would be able to view the planets using a backyard portable telescope. I was so disappointed to see them as little more than larger white “stars”. I did once go to a neighbor’s house where they had a serious amateur telescope complete with electronic tracking and even with that fancy setup, Saturn’s rings were barely discernible.
