Some close up shots of the Moon from my back yard in Terrace, B.C. Canada.

Seeing conditions were below average. Transparency was poor with some thin high cloud. 12.5″ Newt/Dob f/4.8 (30mm e.p. filmed with a Canon ZR-80)

Still, it was nice to finally get the scope out. Viewing from the eyepiece is always better than my camera will show.

Did you see the happy face?

Some photos and video I have taken from by back yard in Terrace BC. All photos and video are hand held, unguided shots through a custom made 12.5″ Newt/Dob Telescope.The mirror is from http://www.galaxyoptics.com

Close-ups were taken with a 5mm Pentax SMC XW-5 eyepiece. The camera doesn’t do justice to what you see live at the eyepiece, but I hope you still enjoy the view…

The Zhumell eyepiece and filter kit is a great way to make the most of your Telescope! Zhumell kits include a selection of eyepieces and filters that optimize available light. This, in turn, allows planetary features, galaxies, and binary systems to stand out in fine detail.
