We believe the celestial world is fascinating. It puts each and every individual’s place in the universe into perspective. In today’s fast-paced world, looking through a telescope slows life down. Allow us to guide you through the universe. We're here to share helpful astrophotography how-to's, telescope observing tips & tricks, and as much exciting astronomy-related information as possible!
If you would provide a little more detail on location (and approximate times) in the sky for us neophytes the info would be much appreciated. I (and countless others I'm sure) don't even know the location of most of the constellations you mention here...or even how to locate them. Much thanks for the cool tour .
Because it's july what's the summer month what means there's no stars in the night sky here in Northen Europe's Finland yet, but can't wait i'm so excited when august and autmn starts with the darker nights and more possibilitys for watching the night sky full of stars, happy summer season everyone! 🌆🌅🏖😎🍹🍦
I might agree. Especially the tray. The assembly instructions coming with the telescope were poorly diagramed and poorly described - then, watching on a video, you can see how simple it is to assemble the thing. Must be a company weakness or a lackadaisical attitude.
Here’s a fun fact about Jupiter that you just shown on the video. Jupiter is one of the largest planets in the solar system. The great red spot on Jupiter is a continuous storm system that can contain more than three earths. Gas Planets, such as Jupiter contains no solid surfaces rather its gashes material becomes denser in deeper parts of the planet. Jupiter’s 3 rings can move at speeds up to 400 mph.
Mid atlantic. Been a little cloudy lately. 2 nights ago, perfect night, captured M16, M17, ic1318, pinwheel galaxy and I always take a quick of the moon. First time getting Saturn. Had to wait until 4am. I knew it was going to be small with my Seestar. Since Jan,2024 , I've taken over 100 images with my Seestar. So much fun and she is my first.
Thanks Teagan. I had my CPC-1100 out last night and saw several Messier objects. but my favorite to view was the Hercules cluster. and Whirlpool galaxy was cool as well.
Thanks for another great video! It's always nice to get some "heads-up" 😉 on what to look for in our beautiful skies. It's almost time to take my 14" dob up on Mt. Rainier too!! 😃
Summer isn't a good time for watching the Night Sky because here in Northen Europe night is like a day-time with light and sun, but can't wait i'm so excited for an upcoming new Comet! 🌠
Yes, summer is not all too good for deep sky imaging. But, the planets are still okay. Last year and before that, I have had some practice time on Saturn and Jupiter. The next level is to make animations of Jupiter as it revolves in less than 10 hours, revealing the Great Red Spot from left to right within about 4 hours. With PIPP, it is easy to create such an animation, once you have first created separate instances of images along those 4 hours with the help of SharpCap, PIPP, AutoStakkert and Registax, or any other software that supports lucky imaging. Deep sky is rewarding when the nights are dark again (unfortunately, also quite cold).
Going to get a Celestron NexStar 4SE, but hey, may not be as powerful as the 8SE, but its still pretty dang cool, and its $600, the 8SE is $1.4K on amazon
I have one of those but an older model. I did not like the mount that came with it. But the scope was fine. I viewed with a week or so ago. The mount in this video looks much better than the one I have.
