Table-top Dob versus 10x50 Bino - Jupiter's moons
The 'scope provided a rock-steady view of all four Galilean satellites at 75x. In the bino, one of the moons could be glimpsed, another seen only with difficulty.
Two of the moons (seen only with the 'scope) appeared very close to each other and probably would have shown relative motion over a short period of time. Observations/timings of eclipses should be possible with the 'scope(?) Both instruments were used as-is, out of the box, no adjustments or mods. The 'scope rested on a chair, the bino was hand-held. Either instrument can be purchased for about $35. Advantage: Dob. |
