N95 + Telescope =)

I was bored today and decided to get out this telescope I got from a friend as a gift a while ago.

So I was looking through it and spying on my neighbourhood xD. I thought,'Hey, Why not try this out with my N95'. So there I had a idea.

First I thought this would not work as Telescope images tend to be virtual, they are not really made but your brain does all the work by re-bundling the light on a different focal point and creating a virtual image in your head (explained here: http://homepage.mac.com/cbakken/obookshelf/cvvirtual.html ).

Result?

Well the video clip speaks for it self (taken with my N95-1 (v21.0.016) ofcourse)

That telescope you can get almost anywhere for about £25/€50.

Results are amazing if you ask me, imagine using a proper tri-pod and some special home made case to perfectly fit the N95 on the telescope and then look at the stars at night to make high resolution (limited by the telescope lens ofcourse) pictures and video clips! Or imagine fitting the N95 on the Hubble Space Telescope, hehe.

I know you can get those 6X optical zoom lenses to add to your N95 case, but I thought this would be way more awesome.
