Astronomy buffs: Would you like to see a lunar occultation of Jupiter?

wish I could make it to see it in person

I swear at a quick glance, I thought that said “anatomy buffs” and thought, what the heck does anatomy have to do with Jupiter? Whoops…

That is really cool. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks a lot. I’ll watch this tomorrow when I’m not drunk.

What do you need, @Rarebear, to connect your telescope to your computer? I don’t want to sound stupid, but I honestly don’t know. It is amazing to me that you can sit at your computer and see something like that broadcast from Turkey.

Very cool

@bkcunningham I have two different cameras. The camera that I used for my avatar is an astronomical webcam. It captures a video and streams the video live on Google Plus using a screen sharing software program. I also use my Canon DSLR. For that, I take individual 1–3 minute exposures (depending on how good my alignment is), and then screen share the resulting image. Tonight we will be doing a full virtual star party starting about 9:00 Pacific time. To watch, go to the Universe Today Youtube page, or circle +Fraser Cain on Google Plus.
