Up Close Footage of the Moon 9/8/08 – Nexstar 8 Telescope
How often do you get to see the moon this close up?? This is some footage I got last night, 9/8/08 of the moon. My Nexstar 8 telescope was magnifying the moon 120x, allowing the craters of the Northeastern and southeastern quadrants of the moon to be seen in detail. There was a cloud in front of the moon, however, I was still able to get some good shots.
Some sections of the video are actually more than 120X, since I also used the zoom on the camera. Knowing that, there may have been segments of the video where the moon was around 200-250X (~2X zoom on camera).
Sorry for the shakiness, but the mechanism for moving the telescope has a small amount of vibration and it’s difficult to use a digital camera in this way. Hope you enjoy!
Please let me know what you think and leave a comment or question under Video Comments! Also Rate the video if you enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching

Were you able to see the bombing of the moon, and that trace of movement of some object leaving the crater just before the bombing. I’m intereseted in confirmation of that video and story. I know nothing abt moon watching or telescopes, but imo the NASA bombing was a literal attack on some installation or something NASA wanted destroyed – they weren’t looking for water or rare gases either one.. is what I am thinking. thx again 4 sharing your photos and video.
