It has occurred to me that that second video might be more useful, as it's currently February 28th.

I do have one for use with a refractor telescope.

Orion is the only constellation I can recognise.

I don't know what an erector prism is.

A telescope used for astronomy gives an image that is upside down, an erector prism turns it the right way up and also makes it easier to look through the eyepeice of a refractor telescope.

Too late, ZarnerZ'z already posted a picture of one without even putting 'hidden' brackets on it.

Someone on Reddit posted a powerful megapixel image they'd taken of Teh Moon I saw...

Well I reckon the stars are photoshopped in but I think the Moon is correct, the natural colours have been enhanced.....I'm sure I have seen the photog explain it somewhere. I want to get an astro CCD camera then I can start some proper imaging.

That's an impressive telescope he's fondling in the still.
My own humble 8" SCT has been packed back in its delivery box for the move. I left the mount out, though, and it impressed the estate agent.
