Hubblecast 22: Hubble Space Telescope Directly Observes Exoplanet Orbiting Fomalhaut.

Watch in high def if you can. This is my first video of Jupiter. It was shot with an Insignia camcorder and my celestron 8 telescope. The wind was blowing hard that night, so there’s some shakiness, but I will continue to film the planets, and eventually get better shots. I’ll continue to post new videos as I get them.
