S+F,again!
Totally amazing!
That mountain range(is it called the Apennines?) really blew me away when I first saw it through my scope,and it still does.

Great stuff man!Saturn and Jupiter looking good too.

Does your tripod wobble if there is a slight breeze?
Mine does sadly,so I have to build a wind break for best viewing.
Even my dog sets the scope wobbling when he trots nearby..
What I need is an antigrav tripod,which hovers an inch off the ground.


Here is one of my best moon shots so far,taken early March 2012:

I really shouldn't keep looking at your vids-You are making me want a better scope.

Cool videos! This made me think. Why is the moon full of craters like that and the earth isn't? Or is it?

at 1:00 on the first video, why is there a triforce looking triangle in the middle of the crater?

Well, it is thought that the moon takes more hits because there is no atmosphere there to burn up the majority of the mass of most meteorites like we have on Earth.
Also, those craters are like the entire impact history of the moon...here, plate tectonics and erosion from wind and water are gradually resurfacing the planet all the time...which is basically erasure, at least for the smaller ones. Plus we can't see the ground so well, either, because of vegetation, etc.

yeah, in your first video there is a triangle, its also in your second video multiple times, kinda weird
