Excellent!

Great video!! Brings back memories of my 3 nights of cloud hole chasing in Dec 2023 with that 20" f/5 you had, too. Tanks a lot!

Amazing I have to go someday!

Cool music video 🤷‍♂️

This is the best overview of smart scopes that I have seen anywhere.Well done! And thanks, too, for mentioning the Arkansas Dark Sky Festival. I look forward to seeing you again this year!

It's so unfortunate that front and center you need to agree to pretend a photon looks like a photon, but we're going to put it inside the factor of precision for the measuring apparatus and call it a probability wave instead of a pressure wave. So normal physics has regular EM wave theory with a very small error factor and quantum physics is EM wave theory hidden completely inside the error factor because modern apparatus is so horribly inaccurate.

The earth is flat 100%

Such a great lecture! Thought I already knew a lot about analemma's but this gave so many new insights. It always good to have an attitude towards learning that there might be something new to learn. Near the end I was waiting for Mr Busler to come up with the effects on the position and form of the analemma by the slowing down of rotation of the earth axis over millions of years and the changes is the tilt of the earth axis, but he spared us those ones. 👍

Background music n noises suppressing the voice

Great video, thank you very much , note to self(nts) watched 36:40

Eclipse virgin💀💀

Great insights . Thanks

Hey, How are you guys doing! Just wanted to say that as a Den leader for a local Cub Scout den, we REALLY appreciated the star party you guys were a part of. That was an amazing experience. We just got back from Kia Kima for the summer camp, and all the scouts that were there for the eclipse from our group were talking about how cool the Eclipse was, and how it was "Really Cool" looking at the stars. So thank you for taking the time and effort. On a personal note, I am a huge astronomy fan, and always take the opportunity to point out to my kids and the scouts various neat things in the sky. So, again, thank you very much.

Make this free to share!

Clouds coved ships

Great advice. Music way too loud.

What part of its velocity vector is northward or southward? How does it reduce the eastward component of it's motion? And How on earthat the solstices all of its motion is eatward.? Explain them with a 3D animation if possible. Showing Sun, Moon and Earth..

Analemma Chile please

Do you know why the Total Solar Eclipse 8 April 2024 is more exciting that is because NASA caught red handed. NASA is misleading the community by telling lies about the Total Solar Eclipse….! It has been totally described in Buddhist teachings how a Total Solar Eclipse phenomena is happening. Sun is very small comparing to the earth Sun’s diameter is 50 miles and the Moon has a 49 miles diameter. When the Sun is covered totally by the Moon however Sun can’t be totally covered by the Moon because of the 1 mile difference between the diameters of each other. Ring of fire phenomena is occurred due to this Universal truth which is taught by the Lord Buddha. Finally, the most important things should be mentioned here, They as follows, 1.Sun is traveling very fast when it is in its straight ecliptic path and the Moon is comparatively slow when it is in its ecliptic straight path. 2.Sun is traveling very slow when it is taking the turn in its ecliptic path and the Moon is traveling very fast comparatively when it is taking the turn in its ecliptic path. 3.The Sun travels a figure of eight ecliptic path called Solar Analemma throughout a year and the Moon travels also a figure eight ecliptic path throughout a year called Moon Analemma. 4.Sun and Moon traveling up above 42,000 miles from the earth. 5. Sun and Moon always maintaining approximately 100 miles distances between each other when they are in their respective ecliptic path throughout a year, however this universal truth is coming to practical due to the phenomenon of that A Total Solar Eclipse can only be seen in a strip of approximately 100 miles. That’s why a Total Solar Eclipse is can’t be seen by people of all over the world It’s because of earth is very big comparatively to the Sun and Moon as I mentioned top of this comment.

For weeks your term great heartbreaker stuck in my mind but can you believe it. The great heartbreaker ended up being the great miracle of 2024. With the exception of S Texas and W New York It cleared up for totality almost everywhere. Even Dallas and Waco cleared up. Just Look at the satellite image of the eclipse shadow moving it’s almost like a divine hand parted the clouds just for the eclipse and then let the weather do its thing right after. I Drove to Hot Springs area of Arkansas from E Texas and saw it in 100% clear skies. An hour later it was absolutely pouring down rain and hail. Had the eclipse gone just an hour or two earlier or later it really would have been the great heartbreaker.

In Prince Edward Island, Canada, here...I couldn't believe it that we were one of the best places and had completely clear skies here on the 8th

What did 2024 look like?

In NE Ohio the clouds broke with about 5 hours to spare. Some thin high clouds rolled in right before first contact, but fortunately they were very transparent. Probably hid some of the fainter part of the corona but not much. Was prepared to drive anywhere between Indianapolis and Rochester if necessary, but fortunately was able to view it at home. The clouds actually made it more dramatic in a way as you could see the shadow approaching from the SW in a way that is much less obvious in clear skies (saw the 2017 total eclipse in southern Kentucky, the sky was almost totally clear then). Amazing how differently the corona looked than 2017, and the CME was very obvious even with the unaided eye. Also got some very good pictures with my Canon T7 and telephoto lens. Seriously thinking of going to the one in Spain in 2027.

I am interested in hearing your after the Eclipse report. We had booked Idabel Oklahoma in February and went there for the 8th. That morning it was overcast however the airport in Mena, Arkansas reported clear skies so we pivoted. At Mena it looked a little better to the east so we continued on to Oden Arkansas and got a wonderful cloudless sky for the duration.

Clouds. The sworn enemy of science

Near Jonesboro the thin clouds seemed to disappear as totality approached, at totality a large radius around the sun appeared to be completely clear, Jupiter and Venus were prominent

Absolutely awesome in NE Ohio in spite of some high clouds (very transparent though). Venus and Jupiter very bright. No doubt some of the outer corona was obscured by the clouds. Seemed much darker than the one in 2017, and the one good thing about the high clouds was seeing them darken in the SW right before 2nd contact, and the reverse at the end (which is much more dramatic than with clear skies).

Being a Buffalo sports fan we are used to disappointment.

Drove to Cleveland, and it looks like we're going to have a good chance at low or no clouds at 3:00 pm.

As of 4/6, cloud cover is opposite of what was predicted. 😊

Why are you looking at historical cloud coverage data for April 8th? What does that have to do with the upcoming April 8th? You can't predict where the clouds will be a year from now.

you are misinformed.

3 days before the eclipse now and forecasts for Montreal, Canada are very good. I just hope it won't change.

If there is high risk of cloud cover, is a 3.5 hour drive worth it?

As luck would have it, those in the red will have a good chance here in a few says to see it and those in blue/green will be dealing with more cloud coverage.

We're supposed to have clear skies in Dallas...right up to the 8th where we have 40% chance of rain.

@ around 14:50 that was about 6 months before I was born.

Cleveland area.... F&%K!!!

You're covering up Maine!

Computer models for April 8th are showing storms in the southern path of totality. Oddly enough. the best chance of clear skies are New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. When we had out eclipse in 2017, it was clear until 5 minutes before and after the eclipse. LOL

I M P O R T A N T I N F O R M A T I O N just received On April 8, 2024, a solar eclipse will take place in the USA. This eclipse will be used to spray protein-based bioweapons across North America, which will invisibly affect many people watching the eclipse outdoors. The first symptoms appear after 7-10 days. After 30 days, the media will pick up on the issue. After 60 days, panic will break out. After 90 days, the WHO will receive the planned pandemic scepter. This is the plan from internal circles of Homeland Security. This will be called CWD zombie disease, comparable to Covid. Behavior recommendation for Americans - Don't go out on 4/8/2024. - Closes windows and doors. - Get enough water and food for 3 days, light sources, radio (see crisis prevention), fill the bathtub with water (Alois Irlmaier). The bavarian seer Alois Irlmaier, who saw the 3 days of darkness mentioned in the book of Revelation as 72 hours of darkness, said about it "dust death goes around outside, whoever breathes it in dies" and gave the above-mentioned instructions on how to behave. A solar eclipse does not last 3 days, but only a few minutes. However, these behavioral instructions are useful when spraying toxic, disease-causing stuff. Please warn family members, friends, etc. It is possible that the WHO wants to pre-empt the planned vote on the new pandemic treaties in May 2024!

Southern Illinois is the x mark. I believe they have a big park out there🫵🌒🪽

Chances of cloudless skies in the US is almost zero at this point

This video made me feel a lot better about picking Austin for ny viewing

Twenty-seventeen was 7 years ago; not 6! Where did you get the "6" from?

"Two thousand and twenty-four"? Is that how you say 1979? No, right? Why not say 2024 in the same short, easy way as you'd say 1979 instead of "two thousand..." (blahh blahh)?

The nor’easter may drag out some weather out of the western NY area

I’m in Clarkson ny and the forecast is looking not bad as of today (4/2). Just saying
