Astronomy4Everyone event in the UK.

In the UK a very nice event was held: Astronomy4everyone. It was a huge starparty accessible to the public. We supplied this event with live views from Jupiter and M42 from Halley observatory with our Takahashi E-300.

Here is the live view we put on the internet site livestream/astronomyforeveryone. It shows our Takahashi pointed at Jupiter.

This is a picture I took inside the small dome of Halley Observatory. It shows our Takahashi E-300 pointed at Jupiter @ F25 (focal length f=5500mm). The cam used was my SC3 modded SPC900 with ICX-424 mono CCD. The seeing was very poor because of the wind and clouds. But at least we could show something.

This is the small Toucam webcam used for show us on the event. It also captured our voices while we were working in the observatory.

Here is the imaging train for Jupiter with my SC3 SPC900 cam and 5x barlow (F25 F=5500mm)

And here is Mark Woodward of JTW astronomy that supplied the Messier deepsky live-view cam for this event. It is a very nice cam for live-viewing. It integrates 256 pictures before sending it to the screen. The views we had were like those of having a 500mm iso 300mm Takahashi!
