This is a Laboratory of challenge where we give it a try to get a movie of astro-objects with a realty. We do not have a good video CCD camera for amateur use for this purpose yet, and the picture we can get is far from the one with cooled CCD camera, however, this is a challege with various ideas to approach to the world of reality. To play the movies here, you need to get and install the Real Player from the below at free for 14 days. (If you already have it installed, it's Okay!)
