I do know how to drag this stuff out don’t I? Due to technical difficulties (ie virgin cutting some wires in the wrong place) I wasn’t able to upload this last night. Its one of the clips of footage we shot the other night of the moon through the scope. <\/p>\n

For future reference, the webcam needed to be inserted directly into the telescope without the 90 degree reflector or it didn’t like what it was seeing.<\/p>\n

Moon footage on youtube<\/a><\/p>\n

I should point out that that thats the moon moving, not the telescope; that giant rock doesn’t half shift when it needs to.<\/p>\n

I will get bored of posting this stuff one day but not anytime soon. In the meantime i have ordered a new CCD webcam and an adapter which should help me to focus on objects requiring a lower lux value to see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
