I want a bumper sticker that says...
The reason why there is no empirical evidence for God is because God is imaginary, and the bible is myth. Now turn off your god damn fog lights! Do you see some invisible fog that we can't?Owner: Redshift40

Some low magnification shots of the Moon from my back yard on Aug. 17th 2008. Viewing live at the eyepiece is 100 times better than what you see here. Still, hope you enjoy! 12.5" Newt/Dob f/4.8 (By: Redshift40 | Comments: 3 | Views: 2955 | Votes: 1 | Shared: 1

2 out of focus shots was all I got before my camera stopped recording. Too bad I missed the best shots that night, the seeing was 4/5 just after I shot this. Oh well, nothing compares to the naked eyeBy: Redshift40 | Comments: 16 | Views: 3776 | Votes: 4 | Shared: 1

Moon view with large telescope 02 (high quality)

This video is a handheld shot at the eyepiece of my telescope, so it's a little unsteady. It was also very cold out at the time. The view is 100 times better with the naked eye than what you see onBy: Redshift40 | Comments: 25 | Views: 6730 | Votes: 2 | Shared: 0

Loved the Saturn and moon vids. Back in the 60's, there was this old guy that was friends with my family who lived way up in the Sierra Nevada mountains (Calif). As kids we used to sit out in the open late at night and he would show us the stars and planets, even when satellites were due to pass over. He had a small telescope and we would ooh and ahh over the moon and planets. Your vids bring back those childhood wonders and memories. Very cool. Thanks.

They are all video's taken by myself. I only have "windows movie maker" right now for capture and edit. So output must be wmv then convert to flv. Pain in the ass, and still get low quality.
Oh well nothing I can do unless I get a better capture and edit program.
Cheers!

I am lucky here to have very dark skies 15 min away. The milkyway is stunning this time of year.

How much did it cost to make your telescope? Man I want one.

This scope cost about $2,500 CAN. to make. It will be more now that pyrex is hard to come by.

Hey, i wonder were you can get one of those telescopes.
Amazing pictures. And could you get much better pic of the moon with a better scope.

Thanks -This is a custom built scope. The 12.5" mirror is from John at www.galaxyoptics.com
If you had a better scope than this, then yes you could get a better photo (if the conditions are good)
This scope is not built for astrophotography and the view is 100 times better at the eyepiece than what you see in the video.
