this is a great vid. though noted by trondyne, there is no impact in site and yeah it was probably too small to see it doesnt matter. i still enjoyed seeing the moon up close like that. kudos to you B.E.CEO for having a great scope. thanks.
You are most welcome. However, I only provided the camera and video gear (shown in the still picture). The telescope and skies were graciously provided by the National Parks Service at Chaco Culture National Historic Park. The best way to support more activities like this is to support CCNHP. They REALLY could use the help. It's an incredible location for stargazing, and the archeoastronomy the Ancient Ones performed there is akin to places like Stone Henge. Check it out, visit if you can.
It's in there, but probably too small and faint to see. I understand the 60" telescope at Mt Wilson also had difficulties with resolving the impact. And I was using a small 14". Oh well. I'm going over each frame of video and if I see something that looks promising, I'll post that too.
I'm not buying the 'too small' thing.... No one has video of the impact, not even NASA's feed... Very easy to get video when you are sitting on top of it or even from a camera on the impact ship... If NASA had clear video then they why not on the feed or why not simply release it? I am certain something is amiss here..... Either way they are hiding something IMO.
this is ridiculous. I don't buy the 'too small' thing either. I would like to see footage of the impact. Prior to the impact, NASA were suggesting that it could be viewed with amateur telescopes as small as 12". So why can't I find footage from an observatory. People, don't answer my question with (anti)conspiracy BS, just find me some footage.
The problem is high resolution telescopes from earth can only see a well lit object 300 feet across or larger. I know you have a belief that anything anywhere can be seen because of our superior technology time but that is simple misconception about modern technology.
You could only see the plume in infrared anyways due to it being at the south pole and not well lit. Hope this clears things up for you.
There were cameras on ship 1, cameras on ship 2, cameras on the ground, NASA said it would be visible..
NASA said THEY saw it, they say they have video of it, but for some very odd reason no one else has seen a bloody thing.......... Just seems a tad inconsistent to little old me....

Go to the LRO website. I've seen some images showing the before and after...

thanks for that. while I would prefer to have seen footage I'm satisfied that the impact did occur.
