Fellow Planetary Astro-Photographer-Videographers, Can't you purchase an Excellent MEADE Pro II or MEADE Deep Sky Imager II from MEADE instruments for $599.00 or a Pro-DSLR at 10.2 Effective CMOS MegaPixels Used at your Camera Retailer for $299.99.Coupled to your Telescopes,the above Cameras will DO A LOT better than Silly Webcams. Also the above Astro-Photography Planetary Cameras come with Complete Processing Software CD. Get Cracking & better Planetary Ultra-High Resolution Photography-Video!
@astromarcel I don't know about this particular video, but I certainly use a webcam and barlow lens together on my Celestron Ultima 8 when I want to. So you're wrong about that.
@astromarcelThis is Astro-Photographer of ASTRONOMY December 1982 BackIssues.It is NOT true that your 70 mm. Aperture Refractor can't get large Planetary shots.If your Focal Length is 500mm. or above,you can purchase a Tele-Extender for your 70mm. Refractor at say 700mm.Focal Length, using "Eyepiece Projection and NO Vibrations"you should get descent Planetary Images.I own both the 203mm. Schmidt Cassegrain & an even smaller 60mm. Carl Wetzlar Refractor and have DONE Successful Par-Focal Images!
I have just bought an Celestron 114QE telescope for my daughter. I'm hoping she may see things like this with it. ANY help would be gratefully recieved as we're both new to Astronomy
@zombiemalenurse seeing is everything, on a good night, any size telescope will show you saturn's rings... get that finder scope lined up with the telescope before the sun goes down ;)
what music is this

gay music. In astronomy there is no music.
Like in science there is no scary music

this doesnt work with a barlow lens, video is made by a webcam, so only prime focus photography is possible

good video however a barlow lens would have given you a much closer view without the need for bigger aperture

@NAGULNR2 You should be able to.
It sounds like a refractor(Uses lenses), so your image quality is more-or-less entirely dependant on the quality of your eyepiece.
If you use ~80 magnification you should see some nice detail.

Can I get a view like this with a telescope like the
Celestron Astromaster 70AZ?

@jaidemm no this capture is done by a 200 mm telescope, yours is 70 mm
the view with a 70 mm telescope on saturn is just a small spot
