So unbelievably beautiful! I love the distances given on the Moon's details! Gives it a scale, and helps you understand the size of the Moon!

[@DeepSkyDude]

Hey thanks for watching!!! The Moon is huge and it definitely helps to see how big some of these massive craters are. 🤘🤘

What telescope did you use to make such a huge zoom in?

[@DeepSkyDude]

This one was done on a maksutov Cassegrain

[@TheMrdiablin]

@@DeepSkyDude Thanks for answer. This moonshots are incredible :), but telescopes with Maksutov-Cassegrain system are expensive. Do you recommend any?

[@DeepSkyDude]

@@TheMrdiablin yeah I would say the Skywatcher ones are a great choice. They’re pricey but you get what you pay for and the views are incredible.

[@landtechnik4k]

i need that Gear to do the same. what stuff u use?

[@DeepSkyDude]

Just a telescope and an iPhone. 🤘

[@landtechnik4k]

@@DeepSkyDude tracked scope?

[@DeepSkyDude]

@@landtechnik4k definitely. APO Refractors, SCT's and Mak Cass are all super awesome lunar scope designs. You for sure want to have a solid mount to track for stable images. I'd say the mount is almost more important than the scope. Maybe not :)
