[@Ibn_Abdulaziz]

I wanted to buy these devices to increase my Eemaan. Seeing that these are Ayat (Signs). It's not the eyes that grow blind, but the hearts inside the chests that grow blind. Many people in their culture told me that atoms and gravity brought all of that into being by chance and random events. I told them, not even the primitive idolaters of the past believed that their inanimate idols created anything, are you implying that the particles inside such idols created this? Isn't that a far greater polytheism while you perceive not? And then they told me that they would eventually vanish into non-existence as such particles. And thus I figured that truth had nothing to do with it, but that the matter was about not having desires, remote homes etc spoiled before their despair kicks in. What was the purpose of seeing all of that, if it did not lead them to the right conclusion, that this world exists with absolute truth, justice and seriousness, and that the Creator of all of that is High above the shortcomings of indifference, injustice and vanishing into non-existence with the mosquitoes that you used to squash? And that none has the right to be praised and worshipped but the Unique Creator of all that you saw.

Glossier and slicker than ever video (with the dog but not the host's better half this time), but bereft of any real content, except "look what I have photographed with even more expensive gear" (funded by KZbin subscriptions and ads). Have come back in the last few months to watching this channel, but realise it has become like any other KZbin influencer channel - with product placement - that the viewer lives vicariously through. I shall switch to the lesser known but more informative astrophotography channels ... of course each to their own, but I guess I prefer to learn a little and stay closer to astronomy as a hobby.

Hey Trevor! That was a brilliant end result on such a tiny little target! - The editing on this one was nuts, it must have taken as long, if not more time, than the capture itself! Love your videos man.

[@lukomatico]

@@philindeblanc Hey!, I'm sorry I wasn't more clear in my comment, I was referring to his video editing! But yes, the end results we astrophotographers share with people are almost invariably "processed" - the nature of it is such that if you didn't process the image and bring out the inherent data from the photo that there's almost nothing to see, think like undeveloped film photos :) Regarding visual astronomy, what you see is dependant on how dark your skies are, and how large (aperture) your telescope is if you mean deep-sky targets, it's great fun but don't expect to see perfect clear galaxies etc, they are mostly faint and fuzzy to our puny eyes! 😅 I hope that helps you 👍

Can you see that image through your eye piece or just through the computer screen? Sorry if it’s a dumb question, i am new to this.

[@Snailstolemysoul]

Both

[@space_audits]

​@@Snailstolemysoul The guy who made the video answered this question from another user. Through the eye piece, it appears a "faint smudge". What you see on the screen is done by computer enhancements and I'd go as far as to say that it's not even real. The extra detail provided is done through image manipulation and can be done in real time, especially if your telescope and computer are hooked up the internet, using specific software to locate/track the stars. So whatever you're looking at, the SCREEN would display the established lore, whereas you would only see a faint smudge.
