Seeing the ring nebula with your own eyes through an inexpensive Dobsonian for the first time was awe inspiring.

[@chrishewitt9721]

The Coathanger in Vulpecula. It looks like it's name, can be a challenge to find, but a pair of binoculars will do the job. Also splitting Alpha Centauri as it means I'm home in the Sth Hem.

[@springbloom5940]

M42 Naked eye visible and very easy to show to people; I like to show them naked eye, then with modest binoculars, then the scope. Bigger optics, or better optics either one, will just continue to give more and more detail, making it a good target to evaluate optics and seeing conditions. Perfect gateway object. I never skip it.

[@imcrazybrumfield5621]

I'm a life science person, but I also like astronomy. I've always loved watching the sky - clouds in the daytime, moon and stars at night. Of the three science classes that I was required to take in college, astronomy was one of them. I did my term paper on comets. I was so inspired that I translated the paper into Spanish (my minor), and also wrote a poem, (I majored in English) and translated that into Spanish also.

[@CiaoBello21]

Why? And if you are into life science why don’t you make yourself useful and majored in physics or astronomy? Lol. Sorry someone I know is an English major and she has no jobs lol

[@chrishewitt9721]

Enjoyed that immensely, Damon. As an Australian now living in the UK, I really miss the Southern Hemisphere skies. I had a few decent telescopes back in Oz, which included a 6" refractor made by a retired British Royal Navy optical engineer who had moved to Fremantle near Perth. His eyesight was not the best anymore due to age so he sold it to me but I had to audition for it over several visits before he was satisfied that this fantastic telescope was going to someone who would use it and respect it. Many amazing sights later, including the incredible Omega Centauri, Jewel Box in Crux and the area around Shaula in Scorpius as well as all the planets, I had to let it go when I moved to the UK., due to it's bloody big size and weight. Just being out in the WA desert is stunning, zero light pollution...you don't even need a telescope so if you ever get the chance, you'll be stunned how many more stars there are to the naked eye compared to the Northern Hemisphere. Thousands!! Watching your posts is the next best thing so thanks very much.

[@projectdesign4675]

I traveled to Nevada a lot in the U.S. (business), there is a valley about 220 miles (300 km) north of Las Vegas (Smokey Valley)......on the often clear nights, in the winter you can drive by starlight with your lights off its so bright!......also, I have seen meteorite activity so bright in central Nevada that you can see it come in the earths atmosphere even in the daytime and watch big ones come in blue (green sometimes), break up and turn white!

[@dredne]

The large Magellanic cloud really inspires me. A galaxy orbiting *our* galaxy?? Phwor!

[@brucea9871]

Astronomers have known for a long time small satellite galaxies often orbit large galaxies, including our own Milky Way galaxy. There are a few dozen dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way. Many of them will likely collide and merge with our galaxy in the distant future. Many of them merged with the Milky Way in the past and added to the size of our galaxy. So there were likely many more dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way billions of years ago.

[@ThEShApeOfACiRcLE]

[@Janky2912]

Just found your channel and instantly subscribed, I love those " amateur " astronomer presentations, this one was among the best I've seen. The thing that bogles me the most, is , why do astronomers focus on those distant objects all the time? Trying to figure out what is many light years away, my favorite videos are when one of you point your fancy equipment at the moon, I love seeing unfiltered/hopefully uncensored views. I've seen tons of footage of the moon but the vast majority is broadcast by one government or another. Someday I'd like to see it up close with my own eyes, unfiltered, untill than I hope some of you that know what you're doing and have the equipment make a presentation and share what you know and can see

[@BryanM86]

Very interesting and well-done video! As someone who was very deep into astrophotography (and AIC), I can say I am impressed with how much imaging has changed and the technology just keeps getting better. It is a shame that my 20" RCOS sits in my observatory with its 16803 CCD and 7 filters without use for the last 5 years as I enjoy other hobbies. I am satisfied with the fact that we helped pave the way for young hobby scientists like yourself who are inspiring others like you do. Maybe someday I will fire it back up as it was an amazing long-time robot for me. Kindest Regards!

[@yuriythebest]

hi and thanks for the video! I've started watching astro photography channels to try to understand the motivations of the people behind them. With the examples you mentioned, surely the Hubble/other telescopes (or even other people using the same remote telescope service) also keep making similar photos, so how is this different than taking photos of the mona lisa painting over and over? Yes, in the example you mentioned the crab nebula expanded, but surely that was recorded as well and posted somewhere right?

[@nethsaradaham]

Editing Tips: If you don't mind try to minimize editing by using white and black colors, and make the corners of the images round.🙃

[@springbloom5940]

A piece of me died when he . mentioned light pollution. I grew up in a small town near Houston, in the 70s and 80s. I could see the Milky Way out my bedroom window. Now, I live 20 miles outside of town in the same area and on the best night, the sky is brighter than town was as a kid. Its air pollution too, planets are featureless blobs, below about about 35° altitude; need about 45° minimum for any kind of detail.. They sky, on the darkest night, is grey.

[@k.h.1587]

Omega centauri from southern California is pretty nice, it is still pretty low in the sky, so you need a low southern horizon. I had found a turnout on Palomar mountain and got a decent image of it back in the day with a modest nikon d50, which is not known as a great astro camera, but I already had a few old manual nikon lenses and figured it was my best bet in my budget. Since I soon found myself hunting for used nikon AF lenses so I could fully use the auto focus and exposure of the camera, I wish I had bought a Canon for the extra red sensitivity, since I really needed to buy new lenses anyway since mine were all old manual ones. I have also been able to view omega from a 22" observatory scope and many other large scopes from my c11 to dobs as big as 28". Also in the area was centaurus A galaxy which is also pretty cool with that big dust lane in the middle

Damon, could you tell me what the designation for that galaxy next to CG 4 is? I've been trying to pull up this nebula in Telescopius and it's not finding it at all. I can pull the RA and DEC coords from Wiki pretty easily, but I'd love to look at the framing of it. I just need to get close enough to scan around and find it. Amazing picture by the way!

The graphics of this video are amazing! The 3d effects really bring the cosmos to life! April of 2023, NASA said they found evidence of a medium sized Black Hole in the center of Omega Centari! This is amazing, because that means there are small "Dwarf" Galaxies, with their own Black Holes holding them together, inside of larger Galaxies! They are theorising it would be very difficult for there to be life there, as some stars are only spaced a light year from one another, but it makes you wonder about the stars further out from the center. Just like we are further from the center of our Supermassive Black Hole at the center of the Milky Way!! Excellent video!

Best bang for your buck is a Dobsonian style model. An 8 inch is usually the sweet spot. You can get them as push to or goto (motorized tracking). Orion, Skywatcher etc. That’s a tripod mounted dobsonian telescope. I’m guessing it’s a 6 inch. Larger than that they are on a swivel style mount on the ground. It resembles a cannon.
