Are the jovian moons to the right as we view them? Or am i viewing the totally wrong thing, lol? (8x bino's only).
You're right, unlike binoculars reflectors invert the image. I saw 3 in a bit of a cluster with one outrider, I think that's Callisto.
Ok, cool. I figured as much. I could count three in total, with one much further out.
On telescopes, i’m still weighing up a reflector v refractor. No question a Newtonian offers best value for dollars spent, but with light pollution in eastern melbourne i think the portability of a refractor would suit me better. And either way, its money i dont have right now. One day…

Don’t you have a bigger lens on your camera? Why not use that?
I have a 500mm lens which is a size bigger, yes. ( 10x vs 8x for the bino’s) but both it and the tripod are packed away and i couldnt be arsed getting them out. Maybe tonight.
If i have time - and the sky is clear- i’ll try again tonight but this time i’ll see if i can get some actual colour in Jupiter by not over exposing. But It means the moons will probably be very faint, if visible at all.
This is my main interest in getting a scope, it should allow some interesting photo work.

Same here, actually. Yet to do the research into that on specific scopes. I know there are various camera attachments out there though.

To get the colour without overexposing and clarity really requires a tracking telescope. Earth moves too quick otherwise.

The motion bit is absolutely true. But a tracking mount is not part of the over exposure issue. Tracking allows even longer ahutter speeds without creating ‘star trails’.
