They are pictures of the moon. These pictures were taken by placing a ripped out webcam (removing the lens and exposing just the CCD chip inside) at the focus of the telescope without using any eyepiece.


The mpeg version of the full movie of the moon as captured by the camera is here. movie1 movie2 movie3
The movie plays at 30fps although I actually recorded it at 15fps. The mpeg tool I used cannot create 15fps mpegs from raw AVI streams. The movement of the moon is the actual real-time apparent movement of the moon (because of the rotation of the earth) in the sky as seen through the telescope.
