It's funny, when you mentioned that Orion is probably the first thing we look to in the night sky, that's exactly right for me. When I was a kid, in Denmark, I could so often see Orion from my bedroom window at night and it was somehow always majestic. I now live in Australia and while Orion is now upside-down, I spot him as an old friend. Amazing video!

The Creation of the Universe: Allah the Exalted said: Have not those who disbelieved seen that heaven and earth were one solid mass, whereupon We divided them and made all living things of water? Don't you want to believe? (Translation of Sura 21 Verse 30) This verse explicitly mentions the common origin of the entire universe, a fact that was only discovered about forty years ago with the help of "nuclear physics". The separation mentioned in the verse seems to refer to what scientists today refer to as the "Big Bang." Also, as the verse also mentions, all living things are made up of protoplasm, which is 80 to 85 percent water. Allah the Exalted said: Thereupon Allah turned to the sky which was (then) of (formless) smoke (or mist) and said to it and to the earth: "Come here, willingly or unwillingly!" They said: "We come voluntarily". So He (Allah) completed them as seven heavens in two times, and in each heaven He assigned its task. And We adorned the lowest heaven with lights (stars) (which are also) for protection. This is the creation of the Supreme, the All-Knowing. (Translation of Sura 41 Verse 11-12) At the time the Qur'an was revealed, the word "space" was unknown and everything above the earth was called "heaven". The word "smoke" aptly describes the primordial state of the universe, which consisted of hot, gaseous matter whose gaseous particles moved like clouds of smoke. From this matter the stars, the planets and the earth were formed. Allah the Exalted said: We have created the sky (the universe) with (Our) power, and see how We are (constantly) expanding it! (Translation of Sura 51 Verse 47) It is now a generally accepted fact that we live in an expanding universe.

A lot of people don't understand how much we can't see because of light pollution, I didn't either. I was in Lapland through the Finnish army. In Lapland, in the middle of a forest, far from cities. It was amazing how many stars I saw in the sky that week. You see exactly as in the pictures on the Discovery channels. The best memories were when I was on guard duty alone at night, in the winter forest. The nights were mostly spent looking at the stars. I also became familiar with all constellations such as the Big Dipper and learned where they are located. After this experience, I have understood why people hundreds or thousands of years ago admired and studied space. Unfortunately, since the army, I haven't experienced a moment without light pollution.

My career was in crime scene investigation and low light photography was always a challenge. Camera shake was a problem. The lens cap covering technique is one method, but there are two others that can reduce camera shake from wind. First is to lower the tripod head so that you don’t have the camera sitting at the end of the pole. The second is to not extend the legs all the way and to only use the heavy extensions of the legs. Hope this helps!

There's so much treasures your naked eyes will spot. 🙂 My town is a Bortle 6 and on a very clear night you can see the Milky Way faintly. Also, I saw several satellites passing through and a couple of times the International Space Station. It's absolutely awesome! 😃 I've been to Bortle 4 darksky area once. It was rather a quick experience, but that was the first time I saw a satellite clearly and effortlessly. Keep on enjoying the nightsky!

It’s beautiful but if you seen people zooming in on cities from a far with zoom cameras it just seems next level. Maybe one day I can experience a telescope and be mind blown

Just a tip for anyone wanting to use an entry level mount, or even if you’re using more professional equipment. Try taking many shorter exposure images instead of a handful of longer ones. Taking 1000 5 second exposure shots is better than 42 2 minute exposures. Less issues with the mount’s imperfect tracking will be seen in the photo and if you use lucky imaging, photos with worse atmospheric wobble can be removed.

If I may, as many astronomers have said before, the quality of your sky is your 1st equipment. With a cheap $100 lens or telescope, I could take amazing photo at the right spot. It also depends if you are doing astrolandscape (milkyway), deep sky astrophotography (nebulae & galaxies) or planetary imaging. Each have different requirements (eg planetary imaging, you can generate 4tb of data / night, so it's a really different setup from milkyway astro that you can do even without a tracker)

Amazing! Astronomy newbie here, at 65 years old. I/We are generally dawn to dusk people, but my wife was just offered an Orion Starblast 4.5 EQ for less than half retail from a friend. She bought it for $100, so after a couple of days and nights tinkering with it to calibrate the thing (and a couple of days researching to find out what it might really do), I'm doing more research, thus why I'm here. Eventually, I'll likely be using it for photographs. With the 25mm lens (the 10mm is missing), viewing 20 mile distant and inverted Blanca Peak from our window is fantastic. I pointed to the peak to center the red dot sight. So far, so good. The moon is waning and mostly gone without better optics, and the low powered optic is basically a sighting tool. Unlikely to see detail with any planet. I bought a planisphere today to see the daily graph of what might be in the sky for viewing. I don't know that a new hobby on an off grid homestead is what I would have entertained, but what I've found so far is amazing. We're smaller than a grain of sand on a grain of sand in the universe. Why not explore?

i've wanted to buy a telescope for a long time and still haven't yet. space is amazing and beautiful it always looks still like a picture but its violent and moving faster then we could ever imagine.

I have actually captured a few long-exposure shots of the starry sky with my Galaxy S9 (but I also have S8 which takes nicer photos) about 2-3 months ago. The exposures were either 4 or 10 seconds long (not many options on a phone). I used a small phone tripod AND the way I snapped the photos was with voice-activation ("Cheese"), so there was no shaking. Another way to prevent shaking is to use the countdown timer function which most phones and many cameras have. Though the pictures look really nice, I am well aware of how much better they would look with larger lens (phone vs. a DSLR camera).

I commented elsewhere about a home-built tracker. There is a Wiki page on it with a plans link, but that thing's an over-engineered abomination!...and I would not recommend building it! There are HD Photo apps available that will allow you to do long exposures. One I picked without any research is just named "HD Camera", and it allows 3, 5, 15, 30 sec, and Bulb. Bulb, or infinity, means you open the shutter and you close the shutter. I intend to play with it at night when I finish my current project and have time to draw and 3D print a phone holder I can use with my non-motorized tracker. Perhaps you, too, would enjoy such an adventure!

The purple around your stars are probably more due to chromatic aberration from the lens. Different wavelengths of light have slightly different amounts of refraction and therefore are in focus at different focal lengths. Better quality telescopes and camera lenses use special glass and optical configurations that reduce chromatic aberration. You can also use reflector telescopes that don't have this problem. As far as the Dwarf telescope and Jupiter, it is not just that the camera is not good enough, the telescope is not good enough. The resolving power of the telescope is a function of the aperture size. The larger the aperture, the more detail you can see. For the Dwarf II scope (I couldn't find the detailed specs of the version you have, but they should be similar), the camera is pretty well matched with the scope, so having a better camera with the same scope would not improve the image. With that scope, Jupiter is only going to be at most about 8 pixels across at best.

In the mid 90's I broke down on I-40 between Flagstaff, AZ and Albq, NM. I can't remember if I was east or west of Gallup, NM. But the traffic was very very light and I was in the worst location for any law enforcement to happen upon me apparently because I was out there for hours before a Highway Patrol happened upon me . But while I sat there in the middle of the night for hours I had the most incredible view of the moon and stars . I was absolutely amazed at how much light population from civilization keeps us from seeing at night.

About 6 years ago I bought my dad the 10 inch Skywatcher dob scope, paid about 600 bucks plus some extra lenses and it's a fantastic scope, I would like to buy a good camera and learn how to do do photos. For a beginner and wanting to decent scope the Skywatcher scopes are worth it. Can't wait to get out this summer and check out the universe. BTW, when I go out in places that could be sketchy I pack some heat, never who could roll up with bad intentions or if a wild animal wants to get fistey.

Hi, Damon again! A wonderful video providing a lot of contemplation indeed! Many thanks. However, the Dob isn't a good choice due to its dimensions. Why not to take a 150 mm refractor, even an achromat for some $ hundreds, say, with f 750 mm? I'm planning to, while aiming at the officially darkest place within the continental Europe: Brandenburg, Germany. What would be your advice a propos of the camera then? Should it be preferably an astro camera or not? And the mounting should be moving the scope, too?

Seeing the sky rotating (or really, us rotating!) gives this absolutely insane sense of scale that honestly, fills me with dread for some reason? And yet, wonder? Like, my mind knows it can't ever comprehend the size of our planet, let alone our universe, but it really wants to try. It's so bizarre. I only hope that in my lifetime I can see the Earth from outside of it, or maybe experience some simulation of that. It's just so crazy that we live here. I feel so blessed that all of my ancestors lived so I could be here, and every plant, animal, microbe, or otherwise that has somehow made it possible for me to see this world.
