Stargazing moments

This video is a compilation of clips captured with a smartphone through various size dobsonian telescopes.

To me the atmospheric distortion makes the viewing more real, love it and thanks for sharing.

I sold my 16” 2 years ago. I miss it. I need to build a replacement

[@MindbodyMedic]

only just got interested and I was wondering how hard it could be to build a dobsonian. I'd manage the frame but not much else, superb work. Something magic about seeing the moon up close and personal, makes the actual moon missions feel so much more real.

This is amazing! I’ve taken some great photos of the moon, now I want to try video!

Great video But at 9:54 why the Saturn's ring was not clear?

[@PeterSmithwoodsmith]

Hi there. That is Jupiter not Saturn.

you should try to replace your black paint with vanderblack and see if that improves it. or makes it worse

[@PeterSmithwoodsmith]

Hello and thank you for the comment. I have experimented with various matt black paints, black velvets, and black flockings I really couldn't notice the difference. it is certainly important that the inside of the telescope is matt black of some kind. My opinion is that wherever possible black flocking is adequate. Black heat shrink is fine for poles and matt black paint for everywhere else. Nothing should be left metallic or bright. the only time I find I get light reflection issues is if I'm observing the sun with a white light filter on the front of the telescope and there is light getting in the optical tube from a gap somewhere that bounces off the white light filter on to the mirror and into the eyepiece. Which is easily solved.

[@ff64gdhffgff]

I think 20" aperture may get more bigger images

[@Nottsboy24]

Nice upload 👌🔭

And the music is not bad either.

Very impressive.

[@Jimjolnir]

Jeez Louise, what would you need to see Mars even twice the size? A telescope twice the size? Stunning views, I loved the day time Moon shots, and Jupiter! and it's moons, I mean, you can make out the stripes! And Saturn. So jelly
