Telescope views of Saturn the Sun and Moon Terrace BC


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…
