The Moon with a Webcam
I am working on a setup where I'm trying to mount a cheap webcam onto my Meade ETX-90 telescope for terrestrial observations. While I was working on the setup the other night I looked out the window and saw the Moon behind a tree. Without thinking too much I pointed the telescope towards the Moon and recorded this video.
Concerning the bad quality it should be noted that:
It was recorded with a webcam
It was recorded through a double-glas window (which was dirty)
The Moon was behind a tree
I will try to improve on the setup, although I made it for a completely different purpose.
