Jupiter as seen on Aug 20th 2011




For 3 weeks i have been waiting for a clear night sky, to observe Jupiter, which rises in the east these days at 22:00 hrs. By 02:00 hrs it reaches near zenith (just above head). Today i got the opportunity to observe this beautiful planet with my naked eye.I observed this planet just below the Moon at 01:21 hrs. I captured it by my 2 mega pixel mobile camera (nokia 5233). I made some adjustments like increasing the exposure and also increasing the ISO. Increasing the exposure enabled the camera to receive maximum amount of light from jupiter and the moon. The blackish white dot inside the red circle in the picture above is the jupiter as captured by my camera. I have also shared all the snaps (look at the slideshow above). Please give me feedback for this post. Tell me "How did you like it?".

Thanking You,
Prithish Halder
