Filming The Moon

Info on 'Filming the Moon' (of the 3rd July 2009 using an 8 inch SCT and a Nikon D90 digital camera).......
For some reason, this video seems to get watched a lot. Please note that this was purely a test of shooting video using the video mode of the camera. I consider this test to have been a complete failure as the quality was poor and I have never shot straight video through the telescope since making this video.

I rarely use a telescope for astrophotography either. See this video, shot using still images with just the camera and no telescope: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j86tN91kQqM
