Just a bit of testing with the William Optics GT71 APO Triplet Refractor Telescope on the 44% Moon and a few stars (Sirius, Betelgeuse, Aldebaran, & Mars). The footage may have actually been a bit better when putting on the Kenko 2x teleconverter onto the Canon R camera. The GT71 is a F/5.9 420mm telescope (840mm with the 2x teleconverter, and 4200mm at the 5x, and 8400mm at the 10x focusing zoom) .
I know finances are tight for most everyone so don’t like to ask, but if you’re able to and would like to support me, I do have a page up over at Ko-fi.com where donations can be made: ko-fi.com/jayling_ohioskywatching/posts
