Retro Game Boy Camera Captures Jupiter Through Giant Telescope
An artist-musician attached a modified 1998 Game Boy Camera to Mount Wilson Observatory's 60-inch telescope using a 3D-printed C‑Mount adapter and eyepiece adapters, effectively turning the telescope into a roughly 730,000mm-long lens (about 24,384mm equivalent) to photograph Jupiter after a Moon shot proved too close. The shot revealed Jupiter’s bands and limb, and the image was printed on a Game Boy printer. The creator, Chris Graue, is known for past game‑console hacks and plans to continue experimenting during his Alaska tour with Lo(u)ser.
