How to Make a Nice Marsvideo for YouTube

[wildwuchs3]

Alle Achtung echt gutes Video

[djla1]

very nice.. web cams built into the lap top but i used my digi camara bit heavy but worked ok :p

Excellent results and tutorial - any vids of Mars at its current, if 'small', opposition?

[KaterJames]

Sorry, nothing at all. In Berlin the sky is very cloudy since several weeks.

[archannjus88]

is that the moon?

[diggerlovesblondie]

Hi, i'm very impressed! but what filter did you use?

[KaterJames]

i alway use a infrared-blocking filter

[Dharok60]

how do you even find the planets in the sky? im always looking for saturn

[KaterJames]

you can use a program like Stellarium on your computer

[saddie15]

wow very nice man!!!!!!!

i have a telescope too i just buy it

70/700mm i can also see the moon

but i cant find where it is hehe

i have the stars map but it difficult to understand

:(

soon i make a webcam too for my telescope

[KaterJames]

You are absolutly right. It is difficult to understand a starmap, but with some practise you will have much fun. You wll learn the name of the stars and how to find them. A program like celestia helps a lot.

[saddie15]

hey thanks for the program name

i wil download it right now,

and i hope to learn something

i dont know much about astronomy

but i will practice

thanks alot!

Thank you for posting a great video. I am quite impressed with the adapters that you use.

Your webcam has provided an amazing view of Mars!

I am interested in your telescope. It is a f/10 four inch refractor from your prior comment. The views are spectacular and I did not notice any chromatic abberation. Can you tell me the focal length of the eyepiece?

Best regards,

Francis J. O'Reilly

[KaterJames]

Thank you for your very nice comments. The eyepiece i have used has a focal length of 15 mm.

[Josh420sk8er]

how much was your telescope?

[KaterJames]

without the okularprojection-device and the japanese eyepiece 500$

[FatPumPumLovah]

Need help with this, i use same webcam but with no eyepiece inbetween where is actual site to allow for eyepiece in between?

[aalexxanderr]

Great !! I think web cams is useful for observation with record. But i think we can try also a canon camera with adapter to keep on the telescope. So We can take better photos .

[KaterJames]

if the digital camera is a SLR you can use the same adapter

[ganistio]

hey.. aweesomm!! btw, how much does your telescope cost u? and where can i get a nice one?

[KaterJames]

a nice telescope with a mount costs about 500 $, but you have to spend more for very good eyepieces, a motor and other devices. in the internet you will find a lot of dealers.

[jaspertodd]

OMG that is awsome.I almost shit when you showed what it looks like in the vid.You could actuly see the polar caps on mars awsome good work thank you.

[Tricyklist]

Excellent video! You could teach the TV documentary people a lot about keeping it simple, clear and in context without distracting backgrounds. Well done! I like your planetary videos too. They realistically match the observer's view seen through a typical modern refractor on an average night. Just like being there! Adding a minus violet filter would help to improve contrast and reduce the inevitable false colour with an achromat. I find the Fringe Killer works well. Thanks for sharing.

[KaterJames]

thanks a lot for this comment. i thought it would be nice to add the music from g.f. haendel instaed of using many words.

[KaterJames]

#1 the eypiece is a 1,25 inch standart, which is also used in microscopes

#2 the device between the eyepiece and the telescope is manufactured by a german company, which you can find by searching via google "okularprojektion". there you find everything you need.

#3 the filter is for blocking infrared light

newton: depends on the manufacturer. if the holder for the eypiece is too short, you cant get the picture in focus

[Dezarus2100]

oo ok..thnx 4 d info.

[Dezarus2100]

GR8T SCOTT..that is 1 jumbled up eyepiece..how did u get dat eyepiece which can fit nicely 2 d webcam then 3 d tele? n also, theres a filter?? is there barlow lens in it aswell?? can it work on a newton tele? I would like a list of all the pieces so i can experiment it plzzz!!

[nutier]

it is very interesting to know from you , but I'm sorry I have not big telescop to look for the stars in the sky , I have just a small one . Thank you for sharing .

[ordix44]

Miau,

hab dich jetzt beim Basteln endeckt, kannst mir mal ein paar Tipps geben !??

[KaterJames]

klar doch. was willst du wissen?

[KaterJames]

sorry, i deleted the question by accident, which telescope i used. it is a chinese refractor with a focus of 1000mm and a aperture of 4 inch.

[conjcsisepuede]

fraken

[kofkok]

you didnt explain anything.

[KaterJames]

where should i start with? do you want that i explain how a telescope works?

[berlinmops]

TOll!!!!Schöne Perspektiven und sehr ingenieursmäßig und bildlich dargestellt!
