Telescope required for TV Commercial shooting Saturday 18th of October
Hello, Im posting this to see if there is any one out there willing to bring their telescope to set. (location Sydney metro) Its for a CBA commercial and needs to be very impressive in size and aesthetic. As big or larger than a human.
We are very happy to pay a hire fee for someone with the right Telescope.
It will not be used, it will only be standing next to an actor as a hero prop clearly in shot.
Alternately we could also pick it up and return it to its owner but I would be happier with the owner present.
Dave he said he would like one as big or bigger than a human,probably a 16" truss dob or bigger
Unless of course a large SCT on a big mount might be the go.
I would offer but I live too far away.
A truss dob? Are you kidding? He said he wants a telescope, not a light bucketting contraption. For a TV commercial addressing a wide audience I would expect to see a big refractor on a tripod and EQ mount in the background. That is by far the most telescopic looking thing there is .
got a 5" refractor on eq mount that when assembled is larger than a person (well larger than me at least) not sure how i'd get it to bondi beach though.

Perhaps it's time for popular culture to see a real telescope for a change??

a 16" dob or bigger makes a skinny refractor look like a toy they are
Only used as a gloryfied telephoto lens today anyway.
Nobody ever looks through them anymore.
Cheers
Someone with a huge 20" or bigger SDM put their hand up, please.
Those scopes are beautiful. If I see a Chinese made Meade/Celestron/GSO/Skywatcher in this ad rather than a nice Aussie made scope, I'm gonna hurl.

We'd all be even happier if you could convince the bank to lower its
fees, pay depositors more interest and have the CEO and Board of
Directors donate a year's salary to the fight against Ebola in West Africa.

They used a C14HD and a CGE Pro mount in the Thor movie. It's bigger and taller then any person shorter than 7 feet.
The problem is that regardless of how beautiful some of these giant
scopes are, many people with no knowledge of telescopes would barely realise that they are in fact telescopes. You need a large equatorially
mounted refractor, or reflector.

+1 no matter how fickle we are about what WE think a telescope looks like, the broadcast TV watching populace would only see a canon or missile launcher (Dob), or a garbage bin on legs (Martian?) if it were an SCT
I'd recommend a decent sized refractor for this. My largest is only a 4" but looks pretty see http://skylight-telescopes.com
