You'd be better off sticking it on YT and then posting a link , not everyone is prepared to download unknown sourced files just to see an image/video that can easily be shown here without downloading ... 

[John1980]

Cheers for the comments I will post it on yt tommorow.

[John1980]

Sorry Auspom. It'll make it worse when I tell you that is only the third time I have every set a telescope up.

[Vox45]

Wow, nice catch

[Shibby]

Ooh, very nice!

Am I the only one who thought this would be something about Pigeons?

[Ruud]

I Love it.

[Stargazer33]

Great catch. What next? The ISS sailing across the Moon? Don't tell auspom if you do!

[John1980]

For anyone who didn't want to download an unknown file here is a still picture of the video.

I have only just got the scope, mainly for my little boy, and the only reason we had a dslr attached is so he can watch the live view on the laptop as he finds the eyepieces a bit difficult. This was our first real attempt at setting everything up and so was really pleased to catch it. It also gave a little bit of excitement to my 6 year old as well (don't tell Auspom but it was really him that got it not me he was choosing when to press the record button on the laptop).

I only wish our attempts at Jupiter at 4am were as successful. It just seemed impossible to get clear focus on it. We were using a canon 550d in movie crop mode on a celestron 127 slt. The live view resulted in a very large Jupiter on the screen the iso was only at 400 but trying to get sharp focus was impossible I just have very blurred videos. I understand that a webcam is probably better but when you have a dslr anyway might as well use it. Any tips? I am not sure if it was just the LP and seeing conditions as we were in the centre of Sheffield at the time but any advise would be appreciated.

Wish I had that excuse lol.

[ollypenrice]

Great. These are wonderful moments. Worth popping off to Astronomy Now or another mag, I'd say.

Olly

I really wish I had a camera attached when a bat did the same for me, it was a one of theose wont forget moments for me.

Quality capture one to be very proud of.

The video is great but it really shows how much muck a plane pushes into the atmosphere. I sometimes notice on clear nights the trails of smoke spread out very fine & cause widespread transparency issues as water condenses even more on the vapor thus making a cloud of aircraft muck!

[wxsatuser]

It is water vapour not smoke although of course there are other nasties in it.

[Gina]

Water vapour is bad enough

[MattJenko]

Nice catch!

Contrails are grim. Commute into London on a crisp clear early morning and it can be gloriously blue in Essex but then you catch all the transatlantic planes all coming into London for the early morning runway openings and the sky gets completely clouded over by them by the time you arrive. Ugly. Simply can't be good.

You lucky devil you, congrats!
