Some Moon Videos

[Holliday]

Not sure if this should be in this forum but can't see one for videos.

Anyway, after a successful night photographing the moon with my dslr, I spent the rest of my time recording the moon, and rather than trying to make an image from them I decided to keep them as videos.

All taken with modded Lifecam in a 200P Dob.

The final video I have a question, at about the 23 second mark theres a long shadow in the top left, not really great at the moon geography, is this a well known feature? Sort of looks like the shadow of a huge wall.

Good choice leaving them as videos. I think they are really good

The linear feature you caught is Rupes Recta also known as the Straight Wall.

Yeah nice idea posting a vid. I think I like the 4th one best

Having only used the Mak to view the Moon (with tracking) until last night with the Dob (no tracking), I hadn't appreciated the joy of just watching the Moon transit across the FOV. I kinda gives you a sense of the scale of things somehow.

Nice work
