Chris wasn't looking at the cam when it happened, but Anthony (who is in Australia) was looking at his. Anthony is still processing his own video of the event, and I'll post it here once he finishes it.

Chris Go uses a Flea3 CCD for his Jupiter shots.

Can you imagine how technically difficult it is to mount a bigger camera on top of a standard 1.25" telescope eyepiece?

he told the media nga "one in a million ni nga panghitabo, mas dako pa kuno chance modaug sa lotto."

I wish I had a scope same as his.

For his regular Jupiter/Saturn imaging sessions, Chris uses a Celestron C11 on a Losmandy EQ Mount, with Losmandy Digital Drive system, and the Flea3. Total cost (plus other equip.) would be somewhere between PHP 240,000-280,000, considering that the Losmandy alone is over US$ 2,400.00.
