You dont actually believe that we are the only ones that exist in this universe do you? This could have been left behind from other civilizations millions of years ago

this is located on the southwestern horizon of the moon. My telescope images objects inverted

I will add that it is fairly easy to focus once you have found the area you want to view. Once you find the focus even after you zoom out it is pretty easy to re-focus.

I am also interested in how he kept tracking the Moon so easily. When you zoom in that much it is pretty hard to track the same spot so precisely unless you have a motorized telescope.

The telescope i used has sky align on it...its tracking software, thats how the moon stayed in the footage

ok thanks!

I have a Celestron 70x so hopefully I can find something of interest. The 4x eyepiece is pretty good for up-close viewing.

Good luck hunting. Once the weather clears and the moon phase and rise is better i will film and post more

Some people say that NASA "air-brushed" out the features in their videos. But there have been a couple of other countries film these locations with their own lunar vehicles in recent years. Are they also hiding these features in some manner within their videos? Come to think of it, I haven't seen any videos from the moon produced by these countries. Has anyone else?

not to be a killjoy but to me it just looks like light falling between craters, giving the impression of a tall structure.. am i the only one?

ahh looks to me like swamp gas if not its definitely lens flare or refraction....yeah
havn't been back to the moon guys

The gullibility on this site really makes me lose faith in humanity sometimes. Some stupid grainy video on youtube from some nameless non-expert has less value than a lump of coal. There's rocks and craters and hills etc on the moon, and people like to interpret vague grainy shapes in whatever way fulfills their fantasies, more news at 10.

edit on 19-1-2012 by darkest4 because: (no reason given)

Choose to believe rocks, craters and hills if you like. It's still beautiful and hopefully will inspire us all to seek our own evidence instead of lazily waiting for a defunct and outdated military quango called NASA (who banned the first set in space fun sci-fi movie that an astronaut made only today) to slowly leak lesser images one at a time with billions of YOUR wasted dollars. It's probably why you guys only get $15/hr basic rate in America.

Why not (save a bit) and then spend $800 and zoom in to a clunky telescope zoom in shot of those beautiful rocks that I've NEVER even seen before like the OP already has. I say bravo to the rock shots! But secretly believe there's something else there. The dearth of NASA shots suggest tht alone.

This video will probably discredit my work, but to me i see something there other than blurs and craters. Looks to be a temple like structure carved into the lunar rock...oh well here it goes!

It's just not clear enough to determine much in that film, but there does appear to be a bridge-like structure. Calling it a temple is a bit of a stretch. I still like your videos and I hope you continue filming the moon and upgrading your equipment.

Y'know I think you are discrediting your work all by yourself. You stuff is awesome, but don't start a video with a blurred image and draw a "temple" over the blurry lines. Let people see what you've filmed and come to their own conclusion. You (and others who've strapped a 32x zoom digital camera to the eyepiece of a 200x zoom telescope) are helping open up a doorway to real knowledge here. What you are doing is ground-breaking and you may even be written up in history books (or at least Home Technology mags) in years to come.

But don't shoot yourself in the foot. TAG what you will, but in the description just write "some interesting stuff I filmed in the moon" and let the vid go viral. Be graceful. I think you are being a bit ham-fisted, but it's just going to put off half your audience (the conservatives, hard facters and debunkers). You're fuelling their fires man.

Concentrate on the science of what you are doing. get in touch with an expert image stabilizer guy or learn how to stbilize the shaking images yourself and let the people see for themselves how wonderful the moon is. Whether they believe it is crawling with greys or just curious about interesting rock formations.

Either way - You are really opening up a door here my friend.

ATTENTION ALL:

Please use the ALERT! function to alert staff on possible problem posts/members. Let's stay focused on the topic otherwise.

Thank you.

I am so much looking forward to getting my very first telescope so that I can do a bit of moon recording and check it all out for myself. Still saving up at the moment.

I'm looking at getting a - Celestron Nexstar 8 SE Computerized Cassegrain Telescope www.ozscopes.com.au...

With a - Celestron Ultima 1.25 in - 2x Barlow Lens www.ozscopes.com.au...

And the - Celestron NexImage Solar System Imaging Kit www.ozscopes.com.au... So i can record the images to my laptop.

Does anyone know whether this set up will allow me to capture decent footage of the moon?

Or would I be best off purchasing a DSLR camera instead & hooking it up to the telescope with a T-Adapter & T-Ring to get some clearer still images?
