In 1976 I was taking my dog for a walk and a neighbour was out on the local common ground observing Saturn with it's rings. That was a long dog walk and my Dad gave me a telling off for being out too late. But I was hooked on Astronomy ever since. Great video btw and love the relaxed music too.
So much hate against fellow astronomers, that's not nice... Great video, thank you for sharing!
The haters are not the astronomers. Awesome telescope, btw. Keep up the good work!
@DV, PhD Never say the C-word in the States, women loose their minds when they hear that word!
@ッGalacthicc Lol no....
thats one badass telescope.
+Andrew Obembe Yes a 14" Schmidt Cassegrain Catadioptric. Unfortunately the price is badass too... :(

This has to be one of the best amateur videos that I've ever seen.
With the music, you caught the mood and atmosphere of stargazing that I get when I look up at night. Your cuts and fades were perfectly timed.
It was just spectacular.
Excellent though for me removing the obtrusive music would have made the experience far better
The music hit the spot.
Nothing better than looking at the heavens, it's very humbling
I couldn't agree more, turning the motors off the telescope and seeing the heavens whipping through the eyepiece really gives you a sense of the speed we are spinning at, that always makes me feel so tiny
It's not the heavens,it's the moon. ?
I'd love to see more of this footage as its seen through the monitor, not just the processed photo
@@JustJean-xo8zl Hes saying the heavens because of how beutiful it looks
If chaotic space is the heavens I have bad news for you haha
This is my new passion right here
Great passion to have! 🔭
It's been mines for over 20 years..... I have a telescope too 😌
LadyVentura16 You have a great passion too
Welcome to the club
Rick Rivers its alie
Imagine zooming in to let's say, the moon and you see astronauts jumping around on the surface 😄 I love stuff like this
It's possible someday
Sure it's possible.. even aliens jumping around.
Even the Hubble telescope could not resolve astronauts on the moon, I think I remember reading it can only resolve to a square of about 40ft x 40ft, anything smaller it cant resolve.
@@lmaoatfe551 I meant in the future with even more advanced equipment of course
@Karina_Aespa_NasaAreLiars_AespaStan_Kekw_AespaBest no yeah
I always come back to this video, it’s so relaxing and spectacular. You should post more!
R. I. P. SUSHANT SINGH RAJPUT first time I know this telescope bcoz of him miss uh badly sir
And promise I will complete you all dreams which have left
Really bro...
what
@AngryCatfish Briggs "and most importantly lock down is not because of a freaking virus. they have YOU very distracted right now ." Wtf are you on about bro?
@AngryCatfish Briggs what do you mean?
@AngryCatfish Briggs I saw that part bud 10 ten minute videos about the moon and fucking magnets or whatever. still lost on the " and most importantly lock down is not because of a freaking virus. they have YOU very distracted right now ." part.
I’ve officially scrubbed the internet looking for that first song. Nowhere to be found. 🙌🏾 well done sir!
Me too
Snap
The most delightful ambient music I've heard for more than a year.
It's like enjoying the unrealistic privilege of being alive at all and enjoying travelling around the Sun with a deeply loved one.
What a beautiful comment.
I saw Jupiter and Saturn for the first time yesterday and it was amazing
I saw sirius A and a black hole
Salatarylgua he didn’t, no blackhole has been observed through a telescope until last April when scientists got the first glimpse of one
I'm flushed with inspiration. This was an excellent demonstration as to just how far one can take their hobby to a serious level. I've just started out with an 80mm refractor with all the accessories to bring it to its full viewing capacity. Astrophotography is my main goal, and the moon & sun are my prime targets...Yes, I purchased a quality solar filter. :) Thank you for this wonderful, and detailed video. This is why I appreciate TH-cam and people like yourself who provide a wealth of knowledge for those of us in our early stages of the beauty of star gazing. Cheers !
Wow! This comment makes all the world of difference when moral is low, as I often say to my precious lady (to whom we all owe our thanks for these videos, inadvertently) if it gets one more person outside and looking up its all worth it...
There are many more videos to come, but their production is slow because other than the music, it's a one man did all... So with a time, anyone can do it.
80mm refractor is my favourite scope, one of the other videos on here shows a demonstration of an 80mm being computer controlled to capture the andromeda galaxy and then the moon, so it will give you an idea of the kind of scale.
When choosing a camera for your telescope it is important to consider the image scale and the pixel size you are using, plus considerations for the atmospheres limitations, so high frame rate cameras provide much better means of data capture than filming it like this on a DSLR, but the large sensor size of a DSLR provides a wider field of view than the smaller sensors
If you spanked out the cash for a h alpha solar filter then I envy you greatly, if you have a white light filter, then I would recommend buying a 1.25" mounted h alpha filter for the solar work, screw that puppy into the bottom of your eyepiece and you should be able to make out coronal mass ejections :)
Thank you for watching and your support, it is very much appreciated!
A good h alpha set up to convert a telescope for solar is thousands, where as using a lower cost white light filter on the front and a h alpha filter on the eyepiece or high frame rate camera still has its dangers for solar work, so anyone doing this should ensure that their telescopes manual does not warn against it, many that have plastic internal components will have a warning, and one can never be to careful when it comes to burning an eyeball out of ones skull or worse the sensor on a camera ;)
How can people dislike this ? It’s so cool ! Nice job !
To me its scary to just see how small we actually are in the universe, we are basically nothing...
This video brings me peace. Thank you :)
Awesome video, I had the Meade 10” LX200 almost 20 years ago and miss it...
"Does anyone ever look at this" - Sure do :) Thank you for your amazing content!
Ha ha excellent! I might start posting an observatory diary in there then, updating what has been going on in preparation for episodes currently being assembled :)
Thanks for your feedback.
wow! how blessed you are to have such a wonderful piece of equipment! THANK YOU for sharing with us! AMAZING!
You have a gloriously soothing voice. You need to go into television.
Brilliant, inspiring video with the perfect music track. Most of the people who say they could get better results with a cheaper scope are either missing the point of this video completely or have never been out with a telescope in real conditions. Makes me want to buy a 14'' but that will have to wait...
I Recommend you to buy the Skywatcher Flextube 8" dobsonian goto, i bought the skywatcher 8 inch dobsonian and planning that i will make a goto for it.
seen a lot of videos...this one is really fine. truthful.
awsome, thanks you very much for taking the time to show us your work, really interesting many thanks to you !
Love the video !! Thank you so much for a superb look at your telescope equipment & your sky views
Keep up all the hard work ...
Thank you Steve! That is really kind, I have been recording lots of data, more parts are coming soon like the blood moon, and things like the transit of Io and Europa across Jupiter. Thanks for watching.
Ahh i cant wait to see them, ive just started with my telescope just waiting for clear skies, keep up all the amazing work, clear skies
Steve
Can anybody tell what sound tracks are being used ?
7000 dollars to get that telescope? I guess I have a new level of appreciation for TH-cam lol
This was amazing. Thanks for sharing! :)
Great vid man. Keep up the good work
This video is very relaxing 😌 It combines multiple good qualities, please keep on ✨
Thanks for your comment. I will be uploading some of the data from the archive soon. I'm lucky to have some amazing musical friends.
@@DarkCentre waiting for it
Great work bro, I cant wait to get a scope :) good music to
Thanks! My first was nothing like this one though, this is many many many upgrades later, and still have loads more to go, it is never ending.
Music is all by friends so I will pass on you comments to them.

+Aaron Collins Thanks Aaron! Very much appreciated, there will be more soon
The best video I have watched! Easy subscribe. Also I am planning to buy my first telescope. I read somewhere that star-watcher explorer 200p-eq5 is a good one for beginners. Any advice ?
+Akshay S Hi Akshay, I am glad you enjoyed it. Excellent news, welcome to the club. The best telescope is the one you will use most, in the UK we have pretty terrible conditions most of the time with windows that open and close faster than a high street bank turns into a coffee shop. Plus dew will form up fast on optics on most nights in the UK so budget for dew control straight away as once condensation forms on your optics the session is over if you don't have it, which is a nightmare if you have gone somewhere dark to get away from local light pollution... they are pretty heavy on the battery juice though so it is worth working out how long your battery will last with it on (get a dedicated battery for it if you can. Personally I think it is a good starting point if you are looking to do eyeball astronomy and less likely to pursue astrophotography but if you wanted to venture into that I would start with an 80mm or larger ED refactor, double lens if you can, triplet if you get really lucky, the more elements a refactor has in its lens cell the better it is. Reflectors (unless they are specifically an astrograph) are designed for visual use so the mirror only has to be good enough for human vision and they are cheaper to make so the bigger telescope reflector design is always going to be cheaper and get more aperture for your money but there are many trade offs, take a look at both types of options that lay within your budget, download stellarium (opensource) and in the top right corner you can input your telescopes, eyepieces and or camera sensor details and it will show you the field of view that set up will yield, this should give you a good idea of what you could expect from each.... telescopes with high f numbers (double figures) are for really bright objects like the moon, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Mars but not much else.... Be wary of other people opinion as the performance of a telescope is heavily dependent on local conditions which are constantly changing, lots of people give kit bad press when it is human error or conditional. Not all telescope of the same make and model are exactly the same and vary slightly, the more expensive they get the more uniform the high quality becomes but you don't always get what you pay for in astronomy, lots of expensive plastic out there... If someone recommends their scope to you, remember that everyone thinks they made the best decision when they spend a vast sum they have saved on something they've always wanted, so take everything with a pinch of salt and join as many forums as you can find :)
@@DarkCentre best advice i have ever heard and extremely well put over like you say every one assumes they have made the best decision.best wishes john
Fantastic work Galileo ;)
awesome ty for uploading!
Oh by the way, I just subbed, keep these vids coming, very interesting.
Great work man.
Please, what's the soundtrack's name ?
Beautiful shots of the galaxies. Where those long exposure stacked photographs?
+Freddy Acosta Thank you so much. Yes they were. 20 minutes total exposure at f10 ISO 4000 on a Canon 5d MkII
+Dark Centre What about the color of the Galaxies? Photoshop edit or some kind of infrared lens?
+oqkdsi the colour is true to how it was shot with a standard DSLR through a normal optical telescope with no filters. No adjustments to the colour were made

watch alot of telescope videos, somehow I always end up back on your channel lmao because well, you have some of the best footage/images on TH-cam...

Music from 11:15 until 15:26 who is it? it´s so awsome? can I have an Mp3 from it?

Download this video & make mp3 with mp3 cutter simple
Pure joy , thank you.
Thanks for the great images. You have worked to get what you have. The critics above don't understand that single images can never show you the detail of actually looking through the eyepiece. Your skill is apparent. I have a 10 inch Celestron and can appreciate your talent. We used to do star parties which was very rewarding. Nothing like showing Jupiter to 8-10 year old and see them look around the end of the scope expecting to see something at the end. A lot of them walk away very quiet(or walking on air). Between having "older eyes" and light pollution I don't get out with my scope as much. Thanks.
What a sweet piece of equipment you have! Your telescope blows my Nexstar 8SE out of the water but the price of yours would blow my budget :-).................Love your music by the way!!!
If the seeing is mediocre, you'll be able to still get some great images, where as mine will be fuzzy and rubbish, so it is all pros and cons ;)
I would like to add a 10" RC to my collection :)
Yes, Dark Centre, how about a playlist crediting the musicians please? Thanks, great music...

flat earther would say photoshoped
Don't encourage those lost and troubled souls that can't or won't check their theories
Or would say it's a projector at the north pole.
Earther whats that?
Amazing how a moron like you makes a stupid comment like this on every video like this. Please STFU so we can enjoy the comment section without it being littered with dumbfuckery. Fucking dink.
@@DarkCentre Troubled souls are the ones thinking we live on a spinning ball just following the sun through space all based on theoretical physics instead of using your God giving senses.
Such a big and expensive telescope, yet the image of Jupiter was totally unimpressive.
+Abhishek Srivastava Well, look on the bright side - you know what to expect now if you bought one. So, thanks to the uploader (they saved you money)
Well considering how far it is away and how much dust / cloud etc. lies between us it's pretty fucking impressive we can see it at all through a scope.
Abhishek Srivastava it is filmed through a dslr at a low elevation so far from the best this scope can deliver but more important is the fact this is filming not taking photographs
Oh ok. makes sense now.
Yeah i will buy a nice "hometelescope" too, but when i see this pictures ive got disencouraged....
If the schools can show us the planets real time, it will strongly give the students the will and curiousity to explore what's out there.
~ Great video and amazing playlist any titles for the music being played? ~
The music in this video is so chill 😎
You should live stream sometime.
Loving this - you have a new subscriber. I'm a beginner and have been using a Skywatcher Heritage 130P Dob for a couple of years. I was wondering, with DSO's can you actually see them through the telescope or do they only reveal themselves with long exposure imaging? I am a photographer by trade so have a fair few cameras but I can't mount them on my telescope and anyway, they might not be ideal imaging systems due to IR cut filter etc. I am endearing pondering an upgrade, but until then I would love to know whether I can actually expect to visually observe Galaxies/Nebula with a 130mm/5" Dob? Also, I'm only on an AZ/ALT mount with no Go-To so finding objects can be tricky!
Keep up the good work!
While you can see galaxies and Nebula with a large aperture telescope with s low f/#. It takes a really big telescope and a very dark night to see much color. That is why I like using a camera. Plus you can share what you see.
Why can’t you connect your camera to your telescope? I assume you have at least one DSLR as a professional. I use an unmodified Nikon D5500 APSC to get decent images through an 8 inch SCT.
th-cam.com/video/wLl47KziQx8/w-d-xo.html
ah thank you for such a amazing video, this does inspire me to buy a telescope and try to see it myself.
Why do all flat earthers mention a Nikon P900 as if it's the pinnicle of telescopic technology?
hkistreet It is God's knowledge.
The context of the bible is this.. "God's Redemptive Plan for the world fulfilled in Jesus the Christ."
In the past someone did a proof that the earth is flat with a P900 . I think now the P900 is in their "Religion" a holy Thing.
That is an excellent question. I believe it is a combination of factors. 1 That the high optical zoom is well beyond the range of steady hand holding. and this to number 2. that the auto focus on the camera tends to drift in and out changing the seeming brightness or sharpness of objects. 3 Auto white balance and loads of other things that i don't have space here for ha. Ive offered to give the scope to anyone willing to bring theirs and compare if it is better. No takers
Why do not the flat earthers just walk off the edge, I would be happy to escort them. I think the edge is Hawaii.
Loved the music!
Legendary2003 you know what song this is?
LEO Messi No, I didn't recognize any of the songs or instrumentals, but did like them :)

Nice vid mate.
Enjoyed.
Thank you for sharing this unusual documentation of your night sky explorations with your partner. The stellar and planetary objects along with the music created a very gentle mood in me. This music is fantastic.
The music is nothing but pure talent. Can anybody name the first song? Richy27 doesn't have it on soundcloud. Said music should not go unnoticed. Please share!
Hi Jim, do you mean the music that has no lyrics, or the first songs that has lyrics? I'm glad you liked the music, I had to listen to it over and over while making this pilot video and I still enjoy it now regardless :)

+Dark Centre thank you sir
I enjoyed it! Great music to accompany it. Who are the artist of the two songs??? I have an LX90 8" and I am just getting some gear for some astrophotography. I'm definitely kicking myself for not going with the 200....Minor but very practical differences for astrophotography. But this is my first decent scope so I am sure there will be another one in the future and all the accessories that I am getting, for the most part, will be useful on a higher series. ie Series 5000 eyepieces and diagonal, cooled camera, electric/manual microfocuser etc. But, like others have said thanks for sharing!
+Jared Klatt Hi Jared, both songs are by my sister's partner in crime, more of his music can be found here:
soundcloud.com/search?q=Richy27
At lease the 8" is lighter and more portable, every cloud has a silver lining, once you have all the accessories you need upgrading gets easier but the costs never seem to stop, it is a bottomless pit sometimes.
You are most welcome! Thanks for watching. Good luck with the new kit, I do love fork mounts.
Nice telescope.Please can you show as some geostationary satellites?
+pronogon Good suggestion. Geostationary satellites remain in exactly the same position in the sky, they are place above the equator, due to their nature you wouldn't need the tracking ability which simplifies matters. The issue stems from their distance and how small they are which is a two fold issue, they reflect very little light so will be exceptionally dim, but their known position would make finding them easy but identifying them as anything other that a point source would be beyond this telescopes capabilities. The resolution of a telescope (the finest detail it can define) is determined by the aperture (diameter) of the telescope. This one is 14" which will allow it to resolve down to 1/3 of an arc second of the sky, but limitations of the atmosphere wont allow it to be pushed that far. So the short answer is sadly not... YET, if things go well the telescopes will keep getting bigger.
+Gavin Chambers I saw ISS last September while i was watching the bloody moon with binoculars. I has about the size of venus in the sky, its very bright, and it moves very quickly. It covered the whole distance between the horizons in less than two minutes. Quite impresive. Even though i didnt now at the time it was ISS, i speculate it must have been a sattelite and i was right when i check the ISS live tracking site. spotthestation.nasa.gov/sightings/#.Vkjx5r-AkhQ. So Its not impossible to see the ISS. :)
+Gavin Chambers Ok then, carry on, be careful don't go to the edge.
+judas30 Troll infestation, my fault I fed it sorry.
+Dark Centre No worries. Great video, very inspiring.

+Ale Con Thank you for the lovely feedback. I have been collecting more data for the next instalment, unfortunately high humidity has delayed things slightly but you can expect to go a step closer to the moon, globular clusters and the Iris Nebula.
Dark Centre I just seen this vid. Amazing by the way. Anyways in response to this guy's request it was more than a year ago. Where is the new collected data on video? I too want to see new material from this gargantuan telescope.
Wow awesome. Thank u for upload this
It's an amazing video
Thank yiu so much
Can you please submit the soundtrack?
700 FlatEarthers dont like this video
Because it doesn't reaffirm their belief and I'm more than happy to battle them with logic, a blur weapon against those unwilling to check their answers
Why battle ? I actually love this.
How does this prove the earth is not flat?
bigdog1 And what are your facts, or are you going tell me do my own conspiracy research?
Sailors used the stars to navigate. The sun tells you the time, the moon tells you the day and the stars tell you the month. Nothing has changed in this regard for thousands of years. If the big bang theory is to be believed the stars would've moved out of their rotation around us by now. Navigating by the stars could not exist. The big dipper would've changed in size or cease to exist along with the other constellations.
The picture of the moon during the day in this picture proves the moon isn't 238,000 miles away but right here in our atmosphere. The missing part of the moon is the same color blue as the sky and not black like outer space.
So this FE is not convinced of a globe by these pictures. I will give it a thumbs up for very nice work.
Pretty cool video. Well done.....music is spot on too!

Oh PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR MOTHER GIVE US THE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC!!!!!! I CAN BUY ITTT PLEASE JUST TELL ME HOW??
My brother from another mother made it for me specifically for this
That is a awesome telescope!
Keeping it dry and clean is a night mare. I've moved it into a village in the country side. I'll be posting some more showing some of what it's been up to
Your telescope looks like a real "observatory-like" telescope! I mean, the ones you can see in state-owned obsevatories! It's so cool!
Hey man don't listen to the haters. Very cool scope. I have an old school Celestron Celestar 8 inch. Got into skywatching recently and I love it.
jc dova Thank you so much. The haters, ahhhh yes.... funny thing is this video wasn't intended to showcase the best it can do, more manage expectation of what slapping on a dslr to a massive scope does... it is the wrong camera for this scope. Image scale is important, pixel size and focal length are not a good pairing. I had intended to create a series of videos showing the different kinds of camera attached to different kinds of scopes to illustrate the importance of image scale and explain how the physical size of the detector and its pixel size affects the process... but all this would be lost on a hater expecting to see the American flag on the moon, but then this video was made for them, it was made for people like us that just want to share and enjoy, no matter what level or size of aperture. Clear skies!
I just love these amateur videos! When I see nasa ones it always seems fake (I know they're not) but this type of stuff really captures it.
All of the instruments are moving away from the urban lights, then we will really capture it. Thank you.
you can't 'translate' NASA into hebrew.... Is the hebrew word for deceive 'Nasa'? No. You're Fake.
+Save the World We should take the word of a flerfer?

Outstanding video my friend! Well done! Clear Skies from Arizona!
Hello Arizona 🌌 Clear skies indeed! Although it's not so great in Wiltshire UK right now. Unfortunately this scope has been undercover for a little while now....but hopefully moving to a much darker skyline soon!! Very exciting times. And more videos too :) . M
Where can we find the music online? A Soundcloud, perhaps? 'specially that instrumental.
How do these fools think a Nikon 900 has better visual that this telescope , the Nikon can barely get a glimpse of a planet.
Enrique Alvarez because they have never seen the difference between them side by side... if someone sends me one, I'll lash it to a mount tracking the moon and give it its best chance.... same time, same skies, same mount... and I'll put a planetary camera on rather than a full frame....
So massive telescope and so small stars
Even Hubble, when looking at another star, will just see a point source.... they are really really far away

so, do you have any good photos of stars and planets up close?
Can you tell that none of them are solid and are just balls of energy?
Can you tell the stars move above you and not the Earth below you?
a constant changing ball of energy

Dark Centre Thank you very much! And if you happen to know them, please let them know that I think they could be very successful and they definitely have a fan here.
Nice scope too. I have the 8" version and I am just getting into astrophotography. I just need the wedge and focal reducer, then i should be good for planet and DSO. But I'm doing DSLR AP for now since I have the proper equipment for that. Later I might get an additional fast refractor on a german eq. with a cooled ccd mono. But I have a lot to learn about AP before I make that jump.
+Jared Klatt Rich and my sister have just welcomed a baby boy into the world so I will be sure to pass you message on. I'm sure it will mean a lot. Thank you
+Jared Klatt Excellent news! the 8" is far easier to set up and handle and the shorter focal length will mean you get far more opportunities to use yours than I get to use mine.
All of the footage in this video was produced with a DSLR...
I don't use focal reducers, if I want a shorter focal length I use a different telescope, If I want a wider field of view I use a larger sensor, all of the footage in this video is using a full frame DSLR so a 35mm sensor, so yields the widest field possible.
As for the wedge, stay away from a Meade one, they are cast Ai and not very good, Astro Engineering make excellent CNC machined wedges that cause far less problems and much easier to adjust under load.
If you intend to keep it on the forks, why not mount the refactor on top of the OTA as a rich field scope / viewer... then when you can afford a dedicated GEM it will be there ready to swap over :) and can work as a guide scope for when you want to run really long exposures of deep space.
I hope your skies are clearer than mine! the 14" suffers badly in high humidity, two dew bands on max still leaves an inner donuts on some nights.... It is as much a curse as it is a pleasure...
watching these videos makes me wish i could explore as much of space as i desire
Truly beautiful.

A telescope of that size coupled with a good video camera capable of taking 60+ frames per second, however, can get images of the moon and planets rivalling the quality of the Hubble Space Telescope after stacking and processing to remove the effects of the turbulence.
enkrypt3d exactly what they said... I'm just filming on a dslr rather than applying image processing techniques, so you are seeing the footage warts and all... the turbulent atmosphere at this focal length is insane
No it's not... that's filming, not photographs on a night where the conditions were too crap to do anything else.... but you go ahead and jump to conclusions based on no knowledge and incorrect assumptions, that's what the TH-cam comments section is for....
Excellent informative video ! Thank you. Where can I get a set up like yours ? Also are they any better scopes that can get you the ground sort of speak view of the moon. I mean zoom in right to it ?..yours is awesome , please give me the info on it along with the other items used...
Thank you! A set up like mine in this video is not exactly portable, it requires 3 people to set up safely so really only suitable if you have a permanent location or a team that can be relied upon at a moments notice. There are many other consideration to take into account, as it is not just the telescope and a camera that are needed, but what is needed depends on what set up you want, like a professional photographer, different camera body and telescope configurations give different fields of view, so I have different telescopes and different cameras that I interchange to affect the image scale and field of view on a given combination.
This video was showing the view through wide fields, the larger the physical size of the detector on a camera, the wider its field of view will be. So in the videos that are coming, you will be able to see how the different arrangements of cameras, on the same telescope, yield much different results. We will be going much much closer.
Enjoyable video...especially on a rainy night like tonight...almost like I'm there. Great music selection, too...sets a great flavour for the viewing!
895 flat earthers melted down
Vladimir G that's a video I would definitely watch
why? this video doesn't prove anything about the shape of the earth.
LOL! For planets no need for big telescope, a 4" or 5" APO refractor is much better for less money. Big aperture telescope has more light gathering, works better on deep sky objects. Planets have plenty of light. so a small refractor works better.Bad seeing , upper atmospheric turbulences, jet streams, works against large aperture telescopes, some time makes it useless for the night. Also, a large SCT like this 14" OTA has large central obstruction 35%, reducing contrast, while a refractor has none and no bouncing of the light back and forth, between primary and secondary mirrors.
Which boils down to, you can't afford this 😂
I can afford it, I even have a C-11 SCT, not getting used much though!
I like to keep things light and portable!
+szaki I have a small one too
I'm a refractor guy, don't like SCT's much! All though, on good seeing nights the SCT is great, more light gathering, better for DSO's.
Refractors are for women and homosexual men.
les images de cette vidéo sont incroyable et nous fait voyager bravo et merci!
!
Beautiful video. Clearly the product of a brilliant mind. ThKu
wow. god created an awesome dome.
????
Sukram Sukram FLAT EARTH created by God..... firmament.... first two pages in genesis. Bible
if you really want to see what a star looks like search TH-cam for Nikon p900 camera pictures. not what NASA shows you
What the heck, a flat earth?
I can see what stars look like through my big telescope, why would I want to look at them on TH-cam?
Seriously?
I looked up what you asked, about 5 videos in all. My oh my.
What we are seeing in these glimmering images are the results of 'digital zoom' while photographing points of light. Many are out of focus. The people doing it are sadly mistaken and don't know how to use their cameras.
I think you and these unknowledgeable camera people should get some lessons on photography and in particular the algorithms behind 'digital zoom'. Or just study some photography blogs, cheaper than lessons.
Sukram Sukram okay... you stick with that story.. not gonna argue. I'm here to speak truth, you're here to either confuse people or you have zero clue.
why do you think you should be able to see so much detail in the moon, its supposedly 249,000 miles away, lmao.
I can see a lot more detail on the moon than this video shows.... it is far away, doesn't stop us
Obvious ...fuck off jerk
Do you know what a telescope is designed for, right?
Why do you think you can't see more detail? What difference does it make how far away it is?The reason why you can see more detail is because the resolving power of an instrument is determined by the diameter of the collecting surface. So I do not 'THINK' I can 'see' more detail. It is an empirically based fact, not an opinion. The following link is an excellent explanation if you would like to check yourself.

That is not very nice, the laughing my ass off aspect does imply grossly misplaced arrogance, but the 'jerk' bit was a bit excessive ;) ha ha, just kidding. Lets all try and be nice though.
Great music which I could not Shazam - especially starting at 8:15 and at 16:00 too. what are those tunes ?!
Bro its his music he created it specially for this video. So if you want to listen this music then convert this video to mp3 then play again n again.
Thanks for sharing. This is a nice piece of equipment ! How many UFOs did you see while on the Moon or moving around. ?Thanks.
+serbanmike None yet but many many hours of footage are taken regularly and trawled through keeping an eye out for anomalous objects... That being said I see loads of stuff flying through the wider field telescope that is mounted on it taking frames every half second, things blip across the screen all the time, 90% have a rational explanation but plenty of things that make me go hmmmmm...
In the future I hope to have three sites so I can calculate more data on asteroids... if you locked all three onto the same object you could calculate its speed and trajectory, wouldn't that be cool...
