Lunar Terminator Detail with modified Nokia N8

Regarding this setup: http://youtu.be/yo3Wkk0Mq3U
and: http://theycallthislife.net/post/15734053361/my-nokia-n8-astrophotography-set...

I should note that this was my first attempt at video astronomy. In the video I link above I talk about how I was using the N8 in the case, and how this caused vignetting and a loss of contrast - well, case and point, vignetting and loss of contrast in this video. That said, I still think it's worth having a look, so I uploaded anyway.

Another thing to note, this was shot in November 2011. I've seen some people post this in other places saying it was shot recently (read, in the last few weeks), so I just wanted to clarify.

Hi there, this is a great video! I work with Nokia in the UK and I've got a great opportunity for this to appear on a national UK TV programme produced by the BBC.

BBC’s Star Gazing Live is on this week in the UK. It asks for amateurs to send in their photographs of the night sky.

Would you be interested in submitting? Please contact me on claire.lawson@next15.com

Thanks!
