Photos of Nice Observatory

NASM Refractor Telescope by Mr.TinDC

There was an open house at the new National Air and Space Museum observatory Tuesday evening. With all the light pollution and clouds moving in, the target was easy-to-see Jupiter, and the 4 Galilean moons. This was a large refractor (I think 6"?) on a tracking equatorial mount, and provided a clear, colorful view of Jupiter's atmospheric bands. It would be nice to have a telescope like this one mounted on my balcony. The white balance is way off on this one, sorry!
