Hello cdbfort. Very nice video!!! Good and clear. The moon is very bright here in the new York sky these days and a strange haze in the sky so I’m not getting good video like you are so I’m happy to see the moon is still looking good. Thank you for sharing your video. Good work!! Peace.
@Jerry2665 thanks Jerry, we have had very bad weather here for summer, many wet and cloudy and windy days, last night was a rarity for the minute:) so it was just great to get that video. Im only now learning how to operate the camera and the telescope…. peace to you too:)
