Amateur Astronomer Captures the Moon

Awesome video.

How come you as an amatuer astronomer can produce better footage from earth than NASA can when flying over in their million $$$ rockets ????

Any sign of the bases that many folks on here talk about ???

Keep up the good work

i dont know perhaps the casio pocket camera is to expensive

very cool,

In the first youtube link about 3/4 through it there is a mountain but it actually looks like a perfect pyramid, going to have to watch it again to see for sure.. s-f

Here,s a pic I took of the moon through my 5" reflector telescope. Its my first telescope and took the photo using my samaung pixon 8mp camera phone.

Hello Bosb

Thanks for the reply i,ll look into that and the vid link you sent later. When I save up a bit more I would like to get an SLR camera to fit to my telescope too. Hopefully capture some great shots.

Albert.

Celestron scopes have very good optics for a good price

What is a good one for some €1000. Nice pics, i want one to.

I got a Celestron nextar5 for my birthday recently. If you see my previous post it might give you an idea, (photo of the moon). they are about 900 euros. Its portable too. Very easy to dismantle and set up.

Its a reflector telescope. I,m a beginner and still at the early learning stages and still have not mastered it yet. But i,m enjoying finding out.

bosb can give advice on the which telescope is best to start off with.

Hope thats a small help

Albert.

Let's get more amateurs videos going.
