Amateur Astronomer Captures the Moon

First i want to thank you all for these great great comments!!!!

There is so much more to see with a telescope like star clusters but my Camera don't catch the light and that's

Hopefully i can catch Jupiter and Saturn with this method of filming, i have tried it on mars but it is still to far away!

"On another note: am I the only one seeing things that seem to be floating above the moon's surface? In all the shots near the edge of the dark side it appears there are many objects floating above the surface. "

well i don't see it, but i need some glasses

Soon new Moon close ups!

Some amateur astronomers take it a little too far...

In the videos, they're obviously not using time-lapse. So... There's not enough time for the camera to capture the very faint starlight, especially against the fully-illuminated disc of the Moon.

It's like Looking out on a field of lit candles at night, then somebody suddenly turning on a floodlight in your face. The candles all disappear, right.

Cool shots but next time, point the telescope at the terminator, you will get so much more details there.

Very good, that looked a nice bit of kit you have with the cam too, love the close up shots with the different eyepiece.

Do you use a barlow lense?
