Enjoy this super-close-up HD footage of our nearest space neighbor as it moves across the sky in realtime - very clear and with an excellent view of craters and other surface geography. Heatwaves in the Earth's atmosphere provide a slight, wavy distortion, adding to the surreal view.
Filmed with a tripod-mounted Canon 5D Mk2 and Opteka 650-1300mm lens using a 2x optical teleconverter for a total 2600mm focal length.
Full HD 1920x1080 still images from this video can be downloaded free for personal, non-profit purposes here: jcmdi.com/freephotos/index.html
