Excellent Video. Thank you for sharing your Sidewalk telescope with us. Has John Dobson seen this? I suspect that he would enjoy it. Perhaps even enough to stop speaking of cosmology for a few minutes. Francis J. O'Reilly

lol! Yea the music and animations were a bit dramatic, but awesome nonetheless! :) I was debating with myself over what type of telescope to build, and I think that this might be the one! I don't know about anybody else, but I plan on using software developed by a friend and a $2000 webcam that I found lying around to search for extrasolar planets!
