Clouds Roll in Covering the First Quarter Moon

I took my new Celestron 114EQ reflector telescope out tonight to practice polar aligning and to test out the RA motor for tracking. Clouds were rolling in and so I set up the scope looking at the moon to record them as they covered it up. The video was taken using a Nikon D3100 with a T-ring adapter through the telescope. No eyepiece was used so the magnification was strait from the scope (approximately 37X). Enjoy!
