Foundations of Observational Astronomy: The Moon, the Seasons, and Mapping the Sky 

I was a little kid getting dragged out of bed to see a famous comet. Hopefully I live long enough to see its return.

Thank you for continuing to make these great lessons! I really learn a lot each time I watch them.

Oh if you only knew how often your lectures play in this house. We are big fans. #teamPluto

Yes. I shall learn the secrets of the stars.

Wow, those are some LONG videos in this playlist! Looking forward to watching them!

Thank you for this! Loved it as usual. Amazing work

It's so tragic that 90% of the population has 10% of the star light in cities and surrounding light pollution. In truly dark areas you can see the "milky way".

Great observational clips of Lunar Eclipses Professor ! It's encouraging me to get out there. Especially after some modifications to my small Newtonian. Threw a true Parabolic Mirror in 114 mm, added a Dual Speed GSO Focuser that can accept 2 in. eyepieces, added small tracking motor, revamped Finderscope, Celestrons 114 EQ Astromaster improved ! I would like to inquire if you has yet tried the "Oculars", "Plug In", in Stellarium it has really helped me select Eyepiece and with redesign for Planet viewing. If not I would encourage giving it a try. I notice there is a bit more fuzzyness than my scope actually has on Jupiter and Saturn. I look forward to trying a 2.3 mm Wide Eyepiece f/ Celestron and a better than stock Secondary Mirror as fortune allows me. Cheers! Clear Skies! Unfortunately for me I'm in PNW and go off others observations throughout most of the yr. except for a couple months of the yr. Probably nothing short of amazing I would continue to opt. to Major in Physics!

A couple of nights ago, 8/26/24 just south of Baltimore, I was surprised by the amount of stars I could see towards the East. Orion's 7 brightest stars were all easily visible. Jupiter was very bright. Mars was that beautiful copper red and just below Jupiter. I've noticed through the years that looking towards the Chesapeake Bay the sky is much darker for obvious reasons. The bay and DelMar peninsula are very dark. Can't see much looking in any other directions. Which sucks.

I've been enjoying this playlist a lot. Is it possible to get that ppt for revision afterwards?

Great job!!’

I´m searching astrnomers observation networks! Maybe some pro can give me direction please? THX

I’m taking a Astro class in college and I need to study over summer to gets full A’s

Love it ❤ Greetings from Norway ❤

It’s all that it means lol
