MOVIES

Right now I don't have the capability to transfer the vhs movies I've recorded to my computer, but the general arrangement is quite simple: put your video camera on a tripod, align the camera with your telescope, focus both and: voilá! Depending on which power you're using the image will move slowly or faster, but it will be very interesting to watch on your TV! Also you may buy an astronomic CCD imager or if you like to tinker around (like me), buy a QuickCam and modify it.
