Скачать или смотреть 20210722 My first skygazing on a Sky-Watcher Classic 200P Dobsonian

On 20210721 I received my first telescope ever, a Sky Watcher Classic 200P (8" Dobsonian). On 20210722 I set it up pointing out of my window, and aimed for the moon. Thanks to Stellarium (http://stellarium.org/) I was able to realize that the shiny "star" to the left of the moon was in fact Saturn! Excited as I was, I soon realized I could spot Jupiter too. After staring everything in awe for quite some time, I mounted the Levenhuk A10 mobile camera mount on the 25mm Plossl eyepiece, and struggled to get a couple of good shots of each. Saturn was shot on the 10mm Plossl eyepiece, and the phone was actually handheld, since the mount did not allow for the phone camera to get close enough to the eyepiece's spot of focus. This is the result of my first attempt to look at the night sky with a telescope, and to film it. Shot in Marousi, Athens, Greece, in mid July 2021, hence the poor quality. The film equipment did not help for a better end result either. Nonetheless it was pretty fun a first experience, and hugely interesting also!
