  • This was made very "straight forward", or Up forward ; )... it´s no more than what you see!

    I have a home telescope on wich I´ve mounted a small canon A640 in movie mode.

    The rest is quite simple; pointed at the moon, focus and then pointed the scope ahead of the moon orbit track and just waited for it to pass in front of the filming camera!

    This is a real-time movie.

    You have to consider that the lens magnifier scale makes it possible to create a "window- point" for the moon to pass by.

  • plus the moon´s revolution around the earth itself...

  • indeed it is...

    remember that we are spinning at aprox.11000 kms p/hour!

    this was made with a simple canon a640 in movie mode monted on a seben telescope.

    all the rest is mother nature at work!

see all

    Actually we are spinning at approx 1,700 km/h.

    Circumference (40,000km) / 24 hours.

    Still pretty fast though.

  • Very cool...however, can you break it down; exactlyhow did you capture this? How long was this "shot?" Thanks

  • what the??

    This can't be in real time.
