wow ridiculous setup. awesome video.

Mirror lens (telescope I should say)

.
Never seen a 1488 f/6.3 In fact that almost beats the Canon 1200 f/5.6 (that only has 10 copies in the world!), although the type of lens is different.
K-7 video definitely is amazing though. Thanks for the upload!

Nice,

I checked your link. Nice equipment. I am a 18 year member of the RASC Edmonton. I used to own a Meade 8" F10 but build myself a 16"F5 dob with tracking table in late 90. I tried some imaging with Meade scope using focal reducer, eyepiece projection for planets and Pentax K1000 but found direct observing more interesting.

I put all of my youtube and Vimeo HD videos with my K-7 here:

Is it me, or does hte video look jumpy? Like the frame rate isn't fast enough? I thought it shoots at 30fps, that should be plenty.

It must be your computer because the video is not jumpy on my 2.26Ghz Core 2 Duo Mac Mini with 4GB DDR3 Ram and Nvidia 9400 video chip. Try downloading a source file from Vimeo after you register (free).
