The Moon through my telescope.

Taken by attaching a webcam where the eyepiece goes, with a 35mm film cell case.

My Telescope is a Celestron Omni XLT 150

My first ever attempt!

  • I like how the picture is so clear and still that you can literally see the Moon moving in orbit.

  • @D12303 Hey, l'm pleased you liked the video! :)

    To be really pedantic, the motion you see is more the Earth's rotation, rather than the Moon moving in its orbit - still how awesome to see the celestial clock ticking like that :D

    Thanks

  • very nice did you try a moon filter on the barlow ?

  • @todd8137

    Thanks!

    I didn't on this occasion - I probably should have as it may have preventer the moon from becoming over exposed?

    I'd definitely recommend them for viewing with the eye though - the Moon's VERY bright ;-)

  • Would you recomend this telescope EXPLORER-150PL (EQ3-2) 150mm (6") f/1200 Parabolic Newtonian Reflector

  • what is the spec that makes the rotation of the earth noticeable

  • @remyworldpeace Your are more than welcome because this kind of stuff fasinates me. I have been looking through my Celestron Firstscope and this Moon moves really fast but like you said it's us that is moving.

  • @remyworldpeace yes indeed moon filters make a bit of difernce but not much a variable contrast filter i have does soon i am getting spc880 flashing it to spc900can not wait still a great vid you have when you do in some more
