    Wow, really nice zoom, what a cool clip. Real thanks for sharing this man. Can you take the images of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto? Edit : I just saw the image of Uranus taken by you in one of your other videos. I expect you to do for Neptune and show us how the image of Pluto taken by your telescope would be.

    The moon is about 240,000 miles from Earth, whereas Mars ranges from about 35,000,000 miles to about 225,000,000 miles from Earth. So Mars is a whole lot farther away. Hope this helps!
