Telescope - Meade LX200 - what can you see with a 10" from Eastchurch on the Isle of Sheppey. Kent. UK. Also see "LX200 - Observatory" for more detail of how it works...
All images by Peter Bruce Eastchurch Gap. This video sounded better with original Enya music but had to change due to copyright - shame.
Images taken with Webcam, Cannon EOS, Starlight Xpress MX7C, Meade DSI 1 & DSI 3 & Astrovid camera's.
I wish we could all "see" with our own eyes the pictures shown here but our eyes are not very sensitive at low light levels but what is importance is the fact you can see the sights with a modest set-up. And the night sky is God given and free to view - Best TV in the world...

  • @brucepeter2007 I would Think he used a solar filter of course! It is about the telescope so.. :)

  • @jack342able I did not - and would not use any solar filter on a large scope.

    Let alone my 10". If you want to view the sun its better to view it via a small SOLAR telescope (Made for the job). I personally would never view the sun directly as I feel "safer" to use a video camera - so my own eyes stay intact. Please NEVER look directly at the sun. Regards Peter.

  • EPIC!!!

  • @susanwilson13 -Thanks susan for your comment - Nice piano playing... Regards Peter

  • You would be an awesome neighbor!

  • Love it.

  • @astrogeek21 No solar filter - covered the scope with aluminium foil but I will not go into any detail here else a few eyes could be lost...

    Regards

    Peter

  • @SkynetLives Why O Why is it always money - I started with nothing and made my own scope out of junk. Ground my own 8.75 inch mirror and I did all this because I wanted a scope I could not afford to buy - so I made it...

    The art of making things is not dead and if you want it enough that road still exists.

    Take a look at my channel "Meade LX200 - From Home Made" for an insight.

    Also a lot of my gear now is very old and some of it is a lash up - but it works.

    Regards Peter
