This video was captured about an hour after the Telescope Moon Terminator Tour 1 video, it was captured at a higher magnification using the same 30mm 2 eyepiece with a X2 -2 barlow, the image quality is not great but there is much more detail to be seen and I have identified more craters in this one, I hope you enjoy the tour.
I am hopping to make a video of the terminator during the last quarter then we can see all of the craters that run down the centre 400km of the moon, I have never seen Clavius or Tycho when they are near the terminator so I am looking forward to that, weather permitting as usual.

  • Has anyone seen, or taken photos from earth (or from Hubble), that shows any equipment left behind by man on the moon? If so, where can these images be found and viewed? For example, can one see the lunar rover left behind? Just curious... It seems we can look into, or see other galaxies now, so seeing high resolutions photos of the moon would seem plausible ? or am I mistaken ?

  • An object on the Moon 4 meters (4.37 yards) across, viewed from HST, would be about 0.002 arcsec in size. The highest resolution instrument currently on HST is the Advanced Camera for Surveys at 0.03 arcsec. So anything we left on the Moon cannot be resolved in any HST image. It would just appear as a dot.

  • what about these telecscopes that can see into other galaxies?... we can see other galaxies, but we cannot get high resolution of our own moon ? Just a novice here trying to understand... not trying to be difficult... please let me know !

  • The worlds best telescopes on the ground can rarely see detail that is less than 1 arcsecond wide or differentiate between two stars that are less than 1 arcsecond apart in the sky. This is because turbulence in Earth's atmosphere causes images to ripple and shimmer. By comparison, Hubble can see detail down to less than 0.1 arcsecond across — more than 10 times clearer but still a long way from 0.002 resolution required to see any NASA equipment on the moon.

  • Amazing video & Song!!, I was wondering if you can recommend me a nice & not too expensive home telescope to watch wireless on a mac computer. I heard a BETI devices helps with the wireless but do you know a telescope for an amateur as myself?

    Thank you

  • What Scope ? ask 10 people you will get 10 different answers

    IMO the best bang for your buck is a Newtonian reflector telescope you can pick up a 250mm X 1200mm like mine on a dobsonian mount for $500 - $800 this type of scope is just about the largest that is practical for home use, it is powerful,it will fit into a standard car for field trips and one person can carry it, the BETI Bluetooth system is ideal for wireless guidance control I have used one and it was very easy to operate.

  • what is that long thing in the crater at 1:36? It def. doesnt belong there.

  • ...sorry for my bad school english :). Do you think a 6,4 Mrd. US-Dollar Hubble Teleskop is not able to take highly detailed pics from the moon and show us some details like the rover or other stuff left on the moon?! They could but they do not want! Look at all the pictures from the moon taken by nasa for the public! They do not look better than pictures you made with your home telescope from the balcony :). Conclusion, there is somthing going on at the moon you should not know!Awesome things!

see all

  • @algorithm21century on google moon ..everywhere the images have been patched or blured ... pls check their location and film those location on ur camera.... i am sure u will hit millions views to the video.... and we really want to see those blocked areas of the moon. keep posting good videos like these. :)

  • super!!!!

  • good!!!!!!!

  • Stupendo :)

  • @PhenomenonEarth I agree with you 100% with todays tec .. we should be able to look at whats on the moon in great detail ... Somthing is wrong with this picture to me ...

  • You can definitely see shit on the Moon in this video. And some of those craters look so fresh. I'd like to get some old photos and compare areas of the surface.. The bastards are probably mining Gold, while using our tax dollars to pay for the operations. I can't wait till their little game is over.

  • @PhenomenonEarth

    You are unbelievably ignorant. You lack a basic understanding of angular size. The reason why telescopes can see galaxies so far away is because galaxies have large angular (APPARENT) sizes. The Andromeda Galaxy, our nearest galaxy, appears even bigger than the full moon does in the sky. This is the exact same principle that causes distant skyscrapers to appear tiny, but a basketball in front of you to appear large.

  • @PhenomenonEarth

    Please educate yourself on resolving power. FYI, the moon is a quarter million miles from Earth. The disk of the moon is the distance betwen Los Angeles and NYC. The flags and rovers are extremely small. The smallest thing that the Hubble telescope can resolve on the moon is the size of a FOOTBALL field! Compared to the size of the moon, that is amazing resolution...but compared to the size of a vehicle or flag, it is far too big.

  • at 4:56.its many artefacts....shift the head at left and look careful...full scren and look the shadow of this objects...

  • very nice
