Awesome view of Jupiter. I get good views with an 80mm Stellarvue Refractor. The wide field views of Orion Nebula and the Pleiades with a 2 inch eye piece are stunning.

Stellarvue makes a damn fine instrument.

Zoom in on the Apollo landing sites. Let's see of there's a moon buggy there or if NASA lied!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14093935

I'm afraid neither this telescope nor any other telescope on earth has the angular resolution necessary to resolve any of the apollo hardware. Not even hubble. Every pixel you see here represents about 1 mile on the moon. That's about as good as I can resolve it. Hubble can resolve closer to football field sized objects, which is still far bigger than any apollo hardware. Only the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter can directly resolve the Apollo hardware, and it has.

oh it has??

I was going to do this on Saturday night, but the weather conspired against me. Here's the link to the stream, I'm just about to start broadcasting the moon. In the meantime you can see what the telescope and moon look like from a standard camcorder:

Thanks! I took a detour to Jupiter. I'll be heading back to the moon in a second and will be doing a demonstration as I do so, narrating in GLP voice chat.

What's your theory on why after millions of craters have been formed.. on the Moon.. we have no video of anything hitting the Moon in decades of observation? Or do we?

Re: Come see live video of the moon! 11-20-12 *Thanks for coming!*
I am getting old - in all my life the moon has never seemed so oddly oriented. I live in NE Wisconsin and last winter we never had a winter. When I moved here in 2001 it regularly reached 14 below. This summer we had no pick your own apple crop due to "drought." That never happened before, at least since 2001. Tonight you can stand outside in late-November and observe a half-moon, although off kilter with the Man lying on his ear. Strange - I am sure science will explain it, although my guess is the true explanation is occluded ... It is extremely hard to argue with your own eyes and your own experience.

When I say stand outside I mean in shirtsleeves, as it's in the 50's at night in NE Wisconsin on November 20th. It would be pleasant, save for the half moon lying on its side ...

Not necessarily staring at a planet... but maybe.
