Great pictures, thank you ! All craters are perfectly round, made by the last ( and before ) plasma storms. Perfect examples !

Hi Ray, superb sharp really close up video, seeing conditions challenging with the high magnification but you well and truly nailed it.

[@RaysAstrophotography]

Thanks! This is probably the highest resolution of the live moon so far. There is one prior to this pretty close to this one, but that one is a bit more darker with shadows, I believe.

[@ID-ln6kw]

Hey Ray, I am new to all this astronomy.. I'm glad I say your channel... I love how. You explain all this to us... you'r the man.

[@markmorenault765]

what power is that telescope? wow nice, with a 60mm to 70mm lens is supposedly all you need, i dont buy it though, i got an 80mm lens on 30x260 high powered binoculars coming, im curious to see if i can even come close to the closeups you got, im just worried bout the reverse or upside down image, just read about it, and these are suppose to be for astronomical use, so hopefully they took that into account so i can see it correctly and not have read an upside down map or reverse image map of the moon. any tips or advice you can give me, i got the tripod and all the attachments to record, it has light night vision, but not complete dark, i didnt pay no were near what you did by far, hopefully i can get some decent quality video of the moon, im new to this so like i said any tips you got i would appreciate it.

[@RaysAstrophotography]

Thanks Mark! Congratulations on the binos!

[@elflordsjourneys]

Amazing views Ray, I used my 60x Sony camcorder and got some shots but nothing like yours.😀🌛🌚

[@RaysAstrophotography]

Thanks Elf! I love Sony Camcorders.

[@billshirey5885]

O my God these pictures are so amazingly beautiful I have never seen pictures of the moon so close and clear even from nasa and for free. I know you could make some money off of these pictures there so good but it would be nice if they could stay free but if you can’t it’s really understandable, Thank you so much for all of the picture I don’t know how you put the telescope down at night.

[@RaysAstrophotography]

Thanks Bill! I truly felt last night all the above including didn't want to stop watching

[@jasonlambert154]

Is the warbling footage normal? I have only just been thinking about a telescope powerfully enough for moon close-ups. I was intrigued by odd footage of ufo activity from various sources

[@RaysAstrophotography]

Sure Jason! Celestron 8SE can help

[@Dying_Breed.300]

Amazing shots I have a question from inner space where the satellite’s are to the moon what’s the distance?

[@RaysAstrophotography]

Thanks Brett! Satellites are much closer than the Moon if that is what you are asking

[@Dying_Breed.300]

@@RaysAstrophotography Yes I’m just wondering why can’t they look at the moon and solve if we were or not on the moon? I was looking at photos man those can see the type of car u got. What’s ur take on that?

[@RaysAstrophotography]

@@Dying_Breed.300 we can resolve it. But there were multiple missions. Good luck with your sightings

[@Dying_Breed.300]

@@RaysAstrophotography What do you mean Apollo mission? I hope you don’t really believe we went to the moon? That’s like driving a ford pinto in a crash up derby, you won’t make it to the end. What’s sad is you can even post a video about how they didn’t make it . They will take it down so fast

[@Himalayan_inStyle]

Spectacular.... How much this telescope 🔭 costs may I please know ??

[@RaysAstrophotography]

Thanks The Free Electron! Telescope by itself new would be around $6000 plus tax in US.

[@mariomenendez8962]

I guess that all those craters are kilometers in diameter, how is the max we can zoom in in to the moon? Or thas it? We dont have available tecnology to look closer?smaller objects? Thanks Good job Amazing

[@RaysAstrophotography]

Thanks Mario! I am glad you liked. These craters are so big, and we are looking Moon almost like from international space station looking at earth. We can see the big features, but not cars moving.

[@mariomenendez8962]

@@RaysAstrophotography Hi Ray's, thanks for your videos. I love it! Question , why satellites pointing to earth could take pictures of a car or house from the space but can not zoom closer in the moon? Is for the distance? Sorry for my ignorance. Thanks my friend

@@mariomenendez8962 They are still far far away

[@mariomenendez8962]

@@RaysAstrophotography last question my friend and im promise dont bother you anymore!! What about the hubble telescope? He dont have the power to do better closeup in to the moon? Your videos are best quality of any nasa videos , so wy they dont show us better pictures or videos? Or really is something in the moon that they are hidden from us? Im just curious my friend! You are awesome! All the best!!

Yes I did. check my instagram instagram.com/raysastrophotography/ for stacked image

[@daniellindsay8713]

It's like I'm looking under the water

[@philv2529]

What is the scale on this? What would be the diameter of one of those craters?

[@fromnorway643]

Depends on which crater we are talking about, but let's consider the large crater named *_Clavius_* seen in the right part of the frame from 1:44 to 2:03. Its oval shape is due to our viewing angle since it's located far to the south. Clavius is about 230 km wide and covering more than 40,000 km², which means that its area is *_larger than that of several US states or European countries._* Some Moon landing deniers obviously have no understanding of the scale since they claim that Earth based telescopes should be able to show us the _flags_ left by the Apollo missions! 🤣

Ray do you ever see anything unusual on the moon?

[@RaysAstrophotography]

Once in a while there is an exciting moment. I wish I stayed there and zoomed it kind of etc.

[@acidtonguemuzik]

Hi Ray looks great... Since I found out what's really going on i've been obsessed with the craters on the moon. but I have to tell ya.. the moon is just a reflection of our entire flat plane. Our earth is in one of thoses tiny craters.. not the bigger ones but a tiny one.. yes the plain is that immense. That's why we always see the same face of the moon. It's just a reflection Of the entire flat plane there is no dark side. I know this may be hard for you to understand. They say the craters on the moon are from meteorites. That's impossible there would be skips and scrapes they are all circular. They are all pools where there maybe life unimaginable Created by a Magnetic field. We live in a crater. A creator that's been abused and Depleted of its resources. The real purpose of nasa is to leave this place and move to another crater. There are no planets. Just this vast plane. The only reason the moon looks like it's circular and going around a curve is because it's reflected off the dome. But it is a flat disk that's all.

[@fromnorway643]

Do you see the large crater in the right part of the frame from 1:44 to 2:03, the one with several smaller craters inside it? That's called *_Clavius_* and is about 230 km wide and covering more than 40,000 km², which means that its area is *_larger than that of several US states or European countries._* Some Moon landing deniers obviously have no understanding of the scale since they claim that Earth based telescopes should be able to show us the _flags_ left by the Apollo missions!

[@RaysAstrophotography]

Hi Rohit..this is the weather within our planet

[@KristinkaAranova]

….it’s called the atmosphere..

[@KristinkaAranova]

Some of those craters look small, but the smallest one you see could easily be as big as a city

[@RaysAstrophotography]

That's correct!

[@mamacatselliot]

Why is the moon have so many craters and with us so close to the moon with relatively fewer craters while we have a much stronger gravity. Why are we so different.

[@RaysAstrophotography]

Our atmosphere takes care of all the stuff falling through the sky. They get burned in the atmosphere. There is no atmosphere on the Moon. So they are direct hits.

[@KristinkaAranova]

Because the moon is barren. You can see craters. The earth has tons of craters in areas that are now water or forests.
