Video of Moon using Galileoscope

[yeseverymomentcounts]

All that work and 240P. Now what is wrong with this picture?

I ordered one month ago, but didn't receive it :(.

[vSanjo]

-very- worth the money.

It's not alot, either - but totally worth it.

[ParaglidingManiac]

@vSanjo, could you please tell me what planets could you see htrough it?

Ordered 2 Galileoscope, today, 13/12-09

[asmundhagen]

Ordered one today, 17/9-09

(Norway)

Dette blir gøy. Har ikke sett Jupiters måner enda.

Har funnet fram et gammelt webkamera og en filmboks for å feste det til teleskopet.

Men må vel vente i 3 mnd før teleskopet kommer:-(

[jinshady]

for those considering ordering one. i got mine after 3 months from when i ordered. enjoy the long and painful wait

[ironsword7]

so do you think its any good?

[Johngtr13]

I got the telescope. Optics are excellent. Don't think of cheap department store optics. These are top notch. Fanstastic buy.

[ajaunsen]

Not sure what you would need to interface to the 1.25" eyepiece slot. But I imagine mounting an SLR will be a problem because of the weight. This telescope is a light PVC tube (a few 100 grams), so mounting a camera of 1-2 kg will need extra supports etc.

[joeygil]

I would likely mount the camera to my regular heavy duty camera tripod.  Seems like a fun DIY project, I'll report back if anything comes of it.

[joeygil]

I just heard about the Gallileoscope on the Skepticallity podcast. I know next to nothing about astrophotography, any suggestions on mounting this to an SLR? T-mount or EOS?

[lehman]

If only the damn atmosphere got out of the way :)

[hunterr83]

Wow, $15??? Pretty good quality.

[tefedog]

Unbelievable. I can't wait to get mine!

[bjovas]

Had to order one of these puppies! :D

[Johngtr13]

I ordered one. It's $15.00! Unreal. About $8 or $9 dollars shipping. Reviews say excellent optics that should cost 10 or 15x as much. 2" lens. Go to Sky & Telescope and check it out.

[ajaunsen]

WITHOUT, just a straight Philips TouCam with 1.25" adaptor onto the Galileoscope T1 prototype. The production model of the Galileoscope (T2) will include a Barlow, however.

[fenixwylde]

is this shot with or without a barlow lens?

[thezooco]

what is the shadow in the center lower part of the images? it does not move with the moon, rather it seems to be a shadow.

[bonjovifan48]

Probably an imperfection in the telescope lens or camera.

[HellSpeed]

Or an alien spacecraft. :o

[ajaunsen]

This is probably caused by some out-of-focus dust grain on the detector or the IR-block window. Nothing to do with the Galileoscope itself...

[softwareScout]

yes... what is that shadow?

[ssjgokussjgohan]

same thing i wonder:)

[gpersons65]

This is so awesome! I sure hope I can purchase Galileoscopes for my astronomy students.

[WilkyMay609]

That was awesome in the true sense of the word. Well Done!

[clcorkill]

Wow the IYA Galileoscope can view the moon this close??? I want to buy one :)
