Moon with 600D and 12" Sky-Watcher Dobsonian, HD video

[von Tom (Tom)]

Hi everyone,

I took this video of the Moon last night as it passed through the field of view of my 600D, 5x Powermate and 12" Sky-Watcher Dobsonian. The limb area is overexposed due to the high contrasts settings I had chosen.

Thanks for looking,

Very nice Tom, the Appenines being my favourite area. All the best.

Great to see-well done,I find the appenines are my favourite moon feature
How are you finding the 600D Tom? I imagine the flip screen would be a real
bonus for this type of imaging.

How would the rig you used go on Jupiter and Saturn-would you get some details showing?.My son has this camera,and a friend that comes up has a 12 inch dob.The only thing I'd need to give this a go is the 5x Barlow.

Cheers Chris

Just like the real view, Great application Tom, Smooth and steady work, Well done!
I too have the 600D for 5-6 months now and have yet too work the Vid capability ? Too used to taking stills over the yrs and forget that it can do video, Lol .
Thanx much for the inspiration ! !
