I don’t think we would be detectable to them, we have only had radio for a little over 100 years. So if we were beaming messages straight to them they are still 2.5 million light years away. If they got it and said hello back we would receive their reply in 5 million years!

I love visits from the critters through the night. I've spent many nights with the coyotes singing, saw whet and great horned owls, deer, foxes and even the occasional bear. They are nothing to fear, and will leave you alone once they know you're there. One morning as the dawn broke, I realized I had a dozen deer bedded in the field around me. It is exhilerating to be so in touch with nature and the cosmos at the same time.

[@reddog1972x]

[@stevenrun34]

That’s a really nice image. I finally got a halfway decent Andromeda on a night like that a couple weeks ago. We have some friends that live in a bottle 5 and their back yard faces south into a cornfield- so there’s a huge amount of sky to work with. I’d love to build a remote observatory out there.

[@daniels8625]

Glad you had a good time man! I live in Bortle 4 skies, and I absolutely love it. I have to warn you though, there's aperture fever and then there's dark sky fever. Even though I live in a Bortle 4, visiting Bortle 1 skies has given me the dark skies fever.

[@AstroBackyard]

I can feel a dark sky fever coming on already!! :D

[@toki89666]

I'm trying to figure out what Bortle zone I live in. I'm about 7 miles from a small town (less than 15k pop) it's so dark at night I have run into large objects like the 55 gallon burn barrel. There is very faint sky glow in one direction less than 10% of the horizon. I'm not sure if it would be Bortle 3 or 2.

[@seanmuller5145]

Your so right my friend about the country. I grew up on a Farm and moved to the city about 20 years ago. I find myself heading back to the farm at least once a month. Now thanks to you and few other Astro U Tubers I'm seeing the old place in a new way. Im out all night shotting Landscape and Deep Sky Astro and loving it. It's a bortal 4 and I also got a good Andromeda photo for my level of experience as well. Please continue the inspiring work.

[@MarkoPola]

Spending a night outside alone under the stars with my telescope and camera is one of the highs of my life. As a city dweller it makes it extra special to drive out to a dark sky site. Fortunately my local astronomy club has a bortle 4 site only 75 minutes away that I try to get to one or two times a month. Shooting without any filters is awesome! Another stellar addition to your Astro collection.

[@christophermills7558]

Trevor do it! You won't be disappointed out in the country. My wife's farm is in Bortle 5 skies in Michigan and were building a house on the farm next year. Ive been fortunate enough to image all summer from their farm and its unreal. This video literally depicted my summer and its hard to describe. PS, you'll get used to the coyotes. Plus you can talk Ashley into letting you build an observatory!

[@Avarn_]

Absolutely stunning final photo. I don't ever think that feeling of awe I get from looking into the night sky will ever fade.

[@andreytyushin9920]

I have a small country house in Bortle 2-3 here in Russia and for me as for astrophotographer this is one of my best decidion, not only due to astrophotography, but due to corona lockdown.

[@astroadventures3559]

Man I remember when you dedicated a andromeda photo you took to your dad when he went to the hospital. That very video Is what got me into astrophotography and why I own the scope I do and why I want a mount I can actually take real astro photos with. I even got a old T3i so I can modify it instead of my T7i and try to capture the beauty of the universe like you. You are such an aspiring person bud. Keep up the great work/fun.

[@astroadventures3559]

I have so much going on in my life with a new son and and my 9 year old daughter and a new mortgage, that I can't even begin to think about buying a mount to run my new scope on. And I didn't even get the eye pieces or the diagonal for it. Don't plan on looking through it though. Just pictures. I can't wait until I can afford that mount. The universe awaits. And I am going to spend many of nights just like this.

[@deepastro7460]

@@astroadventures3559 hi i also use a T7i for astro any way a good mount instead f a star tracker

[@astroadventures3559]

@@deepastro7460 I ended up getting a star tracker, the star shoot C.A.T by Orion. And even with the dec bracket and counterweight it only holds 8.8lbs. But my scope (skywatcher 72mm apo doublet refractor) and just the T7i and skywatcher reducer/corrector on it is only 7.4lbs. But it trails bad. And I'm not sure If it's the incorrect spacing with the reducer/corrector or if that star tracker just can't do 7.3lbs good. But I do know I am extremely unhappy that I bought the 900 dollars worth of equipment that was made for each other and there is definitely spacing issues. The people at skywatcher said they had released a short tube 72ed version in 2019 and that they had since changed the length of the focus tube to correct it and I must have gotten the old one. Very disappointing. And by time I had clear skies and a chance to test it my 30 days was up on the return. Now I need a good mount to test further so I can eliminate that as a possible problem.
