Great presentation Frank. Thank you. I noticed that the copyright at the very end of the video still says 2023. A 2024 update for that plate would be good for the next videos.

You are right about the 2023 copyright. The video was shot in 2023 and got delayed in releasing till 2024 so I made an executive decision to put 2023 copyright. Never dreamed anybody would notice. Congratulations. No door prize unfortunately.

What a privilege it was to meet Ralph and Dr Hoskin. During my visit to the Dunlap Observatory I was shown around their 74inch telescope so it was a great opportunity to show some reciprocal hospitality. Ralph and Annette were certainly very interested in our old telescopes, the Meridian , the Calver and the Astrograph. I should note that this eclipse crossed the coast of Western Australia [not South Australia which a couple of thousand kilometres to the east]

Amazing project, Thank you for the video. Would the fast focus possibly lead to the degrade in planetary resolution? I'm no stretch an expert with just a few semesters of astronomy in college but would like to pass the gift of science to my young children. My Prof told me the best telescope is the one you can use and I would like to incorporate this design with something that is more portable or collapsible.

I just purchased a pair of helios stellar2 16 x 80 and the difference from the 10 x 50 pair i have is incredible. Nitrogen filled, IPX7 rated, quality multi coated optics, bak4 , extremely well made. looking at terrestrial or astronomical targets is breathtaking. Don't hesitate to get some big binoculars and choose wisely you don’t need to spend silly amounts in order to get a good pair. Im 55 so figured the 5 mm exit pupil was sufficient for my age /pupil size.

I saw the total solar eclipse in Santee S Carolina July 26, 2017. It was amazing. A few minutes before totality, the day started looking like dusk. Birds started chirping. Then it happened quick. Some stars came out (I believe they were actually planets). It was like night but not pitch black. And most amazing was the sun’s corona(it looked angry/scary; not a uniform glow near the eclipse but like streams pointed out radially from the sun stronger in some directions than others, and about the angular length of the Sun diameter). It was ominous to realize that corona was always there my whole life, just normally hidden from view. It reminded me of a subconscious awareness that always was there but normally hidden from the conscious awareness. The other surprising thing was seeing the planets. I also looked to the distant clouds on the horizon for any signs of the edge of totality but could not see it. The sunlight returned extremely bright faster than you could blink (I should have stopped looking at after a couple minutes when the total eclipse was gonna be ending soon). Even just 0.01% of the sun’s disk is dangerously too bright to look at. I can see why a total solar eclipse had a huge emotional impact on the people who experienced it

@ronaldgarrison84787 ай бұрын
@@JamesOberg Thanks for the interest, but my interest in apace history is as a casual observer. I have no dog in that particular fight. Not even sure if you mean lynching OF Yeager or BY Yeager! BTW I think of myself as mostly a techie, but increasingly the management and human relations sides of the Space Program are what I find fascinating. Now, if you want to know about energy, climate, and the parts of futurism connected to those things, I can deluge you with all kinds of stuff. That's my real bailiwick, since about 2002. Actually, I don't even know who Ed Dwight is, but in a couple of minutes, I will. EDIT: Oh, yeah. I think I did hear something, but the memory faded. Ed's path was a slow and twisting path. The kind of long, strange trip that I admire, but wouldn't recommend to follow. You can still ascend higher if you rise faster, if you are able to.
