Understand star magnitudes to learn the night sky: Stargazing Basics 2 of 3 

Don’t know if you read comments anymore but thanks for this series. Short, to the point, and understandable. My compliments for a RU-vid series above the norm.

When you filmed this, did you ever imagine you'd be helping brand new astronomers 12 years later? Just got my first telescope, your videos are so amazing. So much practical advice crammed into these intro videos. Going through your "what to see in X season" playlists too. Pure gold. You rock, man.

I am watching this series after 8 years and your videos are still simple and easy to comprehend so thank you so much!

You Sir are awesome. Thank you sooooo much for sharing these videos. Very informative.

Nice save on the lower-higher ;)

I encounter a problem studying ancient history, where the people most knowledgeable about the subject assume I already know as much as they do. You are solving this for me in the field of astronomy in 15 minutes. THANKS!!!

Thank you so much, I have learned a lot by watching your three videos - "Star gazing basics 1 to 3".

Hi EOTS! I JUST CAME UPON YOUR CHANNEL TODAY. I WANT TO DO GAZING. I NEVER USED TO LOOK UP AND WHERE I LIVE IS ALWAYS CLOUDY, ETC. I WANT TO DISCOVER! YOU'RE VERY TALENTED AND I LIKE YOUR VIDEO EDITING SKILLS. TAKE CARE AND CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE.

Thanks David, we all have to start somewhere and your help is greatly appreciated

Thank you David for the videos on the night sky! Very informative and easy to understand.

My only words of advice would be to put an annotation at 4:45 for the audio edit. The caption reads "lower" as well. Unfortunately not all phones show all annotations. I'm watching this on a PC, but my phone displays some annotations on youtube, but not others. I'm not sure what determines it.

This was a nice refresher. I hadn't heard of Integrated Brightness before, so that was great. I really like your audio edit with the lower/higher near the end. It's genuine, and I get it. Thanks.

Great video 👍🏽I learned alottttt watching this video keep up the good work :)

You made this too easy thanks for the video

Nice - have a exam tomorrow and THIS HELPS WOW

Awesome explanation once again

Hey man! What's up!

didn't know Steve O was into stars and shit

Definitely using this video in my Space Unit/ lesson plan!!!

when star A has M= -2 and star B has M= 3, I know star B is brighter, but by how much? Do I multiply 2.5 between magnitude steps?

Let the Dew Drops Fall on good teachers like you!

You're dressed like a true stargazer.

Thanks for explaining it clearly. Added to playlist: Astronomy, cosmos, universe. (Mon 11 Oct 2021 12h22)

Man I'm getting interested in stargazing and astronomy right in a cloudy week. Oh and it's also new moon, which is great. NOT :)

Awsome

how about adding the program you used to the description, it's everyones dream for this sort of thing. Also someone with a little know how can get this bad boy on any tablet. www.stellarium.org/en_CA/ ...

Sir if you're reading this, Remember You are great 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

Very helpful

Thanks for the great easy way to understand the sky. And thank you for using BC for dates!

How did you figure out that the sun is 400K times brighter than the moon? Can I get a formula?

Thanks so much! I had homework for star magnitude and these facts helped me get it done real quick and helped me understand alot about the topic!

Thanks again. Super simple for a beginner and as a reminder for an intermediate student.

Did he just call me a liar ?

Watching this after 10yrs but still the best vdo series!

Thanks brother for sharing this with us

4:45 glitch :D

Ditto...short, to the point, and understandable. All of this makes your series very practical for the backyard astronomers, like myself.

This is so ''Sheldon with 'fun with flags'''

2023, and I am here watching this. Very informative. Thank you!! ❤

TIL parsec is actually a real unit of distance

Good one for beginners, thanks David Fuller..:)

Really helpful. Thank you

Thanks man ! Really informative !!

So why did Hipparchus seemingly overlook Sirius?

I want to be student
