The Moon through binoculars

The Vixen 12x80 are a big binoculars very useful for doing Astronomy. Watching the Moon through them provides great satisfaction. This video was taken on 8th February of 2009.

Music by myself, in order to avoid copyright problems.

Firstly we observe the original video taken directly through a pocket digital camera, Casio Exilim EX-Z80 recording at 640x480. The image is constantly moving, because it is hold by hand. Next video shows the same frames but applying a digital correction to remove the shift. After that, using Registax we obtain an integrated final image of the almost full moon.

how did you get the camera to stay so still on the binoculars?

@davegtar Actual recording is not so still. I used VirtualDub software to stabilize the image.

hey how do you make this music???

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

@xenumun I used a music sequencer software. Have a look at Wikipedia what a music sequencer is. This kind of software lets you create your own music.

@musiclucho It depends a lot of the quality of telescopes and binoculars.

@yuriogy1 I think telescopes less than 60mm are worst than a good binoculars with at least 50mm objective lens
