Some photos and video I have taken from by back yard in Terrace BC. All photos and video are hand held, unguided shots through a custom made 12.5" Newt/Dob telescope.The mirror is from http://www.galaxyoptics.com

Close-ups were taken with a 5mm Pentax SMC XW-5 eyepiece. The camera doesn't do justice to what you see live at the eyepiece, but I hope you still enjoy the view...

Song is a Stevie Ray Vaughn-Guitar Tribute -Live - G3. Eric Clapton, Allan Holdsworth, Jeff Beck, Steve Morse...

  • yeah man an amazing VIdeo

  • @dillinger9999 - thanks man, glad you enjoyed it.

  • What the hell is that at 39 seconds?

    Holy crap it looks like an alien warship coming straight at us in a Sun sized space ship. Nah i'm kidding, but really what the hell is that at 39 seconds?

  • @cptstubing - 0:39  is a sunspot (about 2 times the size of the earth) very close-up.

  • @redshift40 Hey, I want to pick up a telescope. Maybe looking at the $300-500 range. Those images you've captured are incredible. I had no idea they could pick up planetary bodies that clearly. Are you using something extremely advanced?

    RIP SRV

  • i want to get a solar filter for my 8" Newtonian. is viewing the Sun worth the money for one of these filters?

  • @snakeeyes3883 -the scope is an f/4.8

  • @redshift40 what is your focal length on this telescope you are using?

  • @maureenOWW It's the Great Wall of Mare.

    Occam knows best :)

    The UFO nut jobs will be here eventually. You ever searched for 'ufo sun soho' videos? Oh my god conspiracy theories are alive and well. Freakin nut cases everywhere, all have no scientific background, all claim they are right because reasonable people are brainwashed by the scientific method.. so it's lose lose for us rational beings.

  • wow the universe..
