Moon Flight Fun

I created this Video for fun to illustrate to local kids what I could see
through the Tak TOA130. In addition I am often asked what it would be like to goto the Moon and look down from orbit.

Invaribly such questions would occur during a lengthy imigaging session when visual observation was not practical.

The Video was captured with the TOA130 at 3000mm plus DMK 31AU camera and uploaded to You Tube at this link. (with audio)

If this fails to work go to YOUTUBE and type in "Moon Orbit" or "Higby Moon
Flight".

The local kids now have more questions!

These little DMK Astro Cameras open some interesting possibilities.

Richard.
