[balzerbarn]

Very good processing job.

[taha65466]

What was the total magnification taken? Or just the eyepiece magnification?

[ChrissyoSpace]

The total eyepiece magnification was about 96X, which was brought up to about 960X with optical zoom on the camera.

I'd be interested in knowing more about owning a telescope !!

[pgfracing]

That was awesome. I wonder though why does the hue or color of Saturn seem to change throughout the video?

[ChrissyoSpace]

I never noticed that before - it seems to be pretty subtle. I think that was probably just the camera trying to auto-adjust the hue settings though.

man i have no idea what telescope to get im just an amateur admirer of space..not into photography or anything. but tonight was a lunar eclipse and Saturn was right by it, and even just seeing a small glimpse of the planet and the rings was a historical event to me. so what im asking is, what is a good telescope without breaking past 1000 bucks.

[ChrissyoSpace]

Hi, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the lunar eclipse and Saturn. Both are fantastic views.

As for a telescope, the one I use (a 10" Dobsonian) is under $1000 Australian. You should be able to find a similar telescope at some local telescope shops or online.

thanks a lot, i hope the conversion from australian to canadian isnt too much of a difference :D

it seems that u were near the source of heat. right? anyway, nice vid.

[ChrissyoSpace]

Pardon? What do you mean by "near the source of heat"?

[HKragh]

"it seems that u were near the source of heat. right? anyway, nice vid"

It's just normal atmospheric noise...
