I am glad that you set Mauler1987 straight

Mauler1987, you’re an idiot. If we are looking at a star ten lightyears away, we are seeing a snapshot of that star as it was ten years ago, as it has taken the light from it that long to reach us. He wasn’t saying the object would be in the past, he was saying we’re seeing it as it was in the past. There’s a difference. So, yes, we are looking into the past. Learn something yourself, before you criticize other people. Look up light year on Wikipedia if you’re still too stupid to understand it.

BlackJack, the moon is only about 360,000 – 405,000 Kilometers away from us, which is a smidgen in inter-planetary terms, so it’s relative distance has little relevance to the point your making (as raptorofca says, the distance from us to the edge of our solar system isn’t even one lightyear away [and even that's fifty-thousand times further than Pluto]).

BlackJack Im sorry to bust your bubble mate but even IF you had something powerful enough to see something that far away it would n0ot be in the past. The only reason why someone says it would be in the ast is the einstein theory that if you travel at the speed of light or faster you eventually go back in time. This is not true you just arrive at your destination a lot sooner as it was disproved not long ago. So keep watching those sci-fi flicks but know that they arent educational lol.

Much better than the GRIDKEEPER imaginary space craft images on Youtube with the same telescope.

umm, the moon is not a lightyear away, in fact no object in our solar system is even a lightyear away.

You watch too many movies !!

I wonder what would happen if you installed a laser to the telescope.. and also a fun fact! did you know that what your seeing is actually ages old? If a planet or a moon is 1000 light years away, your seeing something from the year… 1007? I dont know exact calculations on what year your peering into, but I know this info is correct, so you guys are looking into the past!

those were great pictures :]

The LX90GPS telescope aligns itself. When you turn it on it has GPS location, time and date. Then it aligns on two alignment stars. After that, tracking of the Moon is perfect.

Hi, what do you mean “plugged in a web-cam”?
I’de like to do something similar

Nice steady immage. how did it work out with registax

Posted by bertthebudgie, on December 23rd, 2008, at 5:09 pm. #.

The 8″LX90 works great. I just plugged in a web-cam for this shot. I love the LX90 because it is still easily portable for being an 8″ scope.

Posted by viramus, on December 27th, 2008, at 12:16 am. #.

great image. I was gonna buy the 12″ scope. What mag are you using and how have you found the telescope to use.
