Jupiter Through a Telescope and the "Burning Ship of the Northumberland Strait"

A video of the "burning ship" of the Northumberland Strait which is actually not a burning ship at all, but is the crescent Moon setting below the horizon. Jupiter is also shown as captured on camera that same evening. All videos and images taken through my 10" SkyWatcher dobsonian telescope.

Great job on that moonset! I didn't think it would turn out that well.

With your still shots, you could use type to identify the moons (go back to the date and check Astronomy mag for the positions).

Good promo for Boardwalk Astro 2010

Hopefully Saturn will make a good appearance this year.
