Saturn and Jupiter conjunction!

[@loaiyar6113]

It’s crazy how this phenomenon won’t happen again in our life time I wish if i had better equipments I will photograph this event with my iphone and 5 inch reflector

[@Eyesonthesky]

I may end up using my cell phone too....

[@fb510m]

I will be viewing this at age 65. In 2080 my granddaughter will be viewing this and her age will be 61. I will leave her information on this future happening for her in a “time capsule” im preparing for her. Sooo cool that this event is recurring. Ive always been facinated with space and physics. As shes now only 1 year old who knows if she will have any interest in this event in her future. Hope so.

[@synq-_-8595]

That’s really cute 🤗

[@jujubean7664]

I've got my 8" SCT and ASI224 ready for the conjunction. Perfect FOV for it!

[@Eyesonthesky]

Excellent! I hope everyone has clear skies for this.

[@DanielSanchez-it1ki]

This is when being in the tropics totally pays off. Good luck to all observers being far north. Me being 12 deg North, should be in a good spot to see this conjunction. Very nice.

[@Eyesonthesky]

Excellent! I hope you get a good view of it.

[@Eyesonthesky]

Thank you! I feel like I know a lot about MANY of Stellarium's features having done videos with it for the past 10 years, but I always fought with that aspect of it when using the telescope view function. And now I don't have to - thank you again!

[@kdmq]

I remember the optical illusion picture where an Airbus A320 and Boeing 747 look like they are ridiculously close together just because of the angle of the photo. Just wait until Jupiter and Saturn show up in the same picture.

Greetings from Belarus! Thanks for the update, will do my best here to have observation for this rare conjunction. Gratz with 50k subscribers 💪💪💪

[@Eyesonthesky]

You're welcome, and thank you for the congratulations. Hopefully we both have clear skies to see this!

Me too! Should be some fantastic images.

[@book3100]

I've got a camera coming shortly, hopefully I'll be set well enough to get something decent by the 21st. It wont be my first attempt at an image, but it's the first target I want to get after some practice and debugging. 🤞

I hope you have clear skies to get the practice in!

[@enriqueboeneker]

Mission impossible, almost. But we’ve got to try! Thanks for sharing!!

Right? They are JUST close enough that we will have to try.

Thanks again David! This will be awesome so I have to find someplace that I can see this. But we're gonna try.

Thanks Frank! I hope we have clear skies around here so we both can see this.

[@alexflynn2009]

Unfortunately Jupiter and Saturn are going to be low down where I live, but they still will be above the horizon so wish me luck

[@Eyesonthesky]

Good luck, they will be pretty low for a lot of us! I am just hoping to see them, but if I can get a photo I will be ecstatic.

[@avt_astro206]

@@Eyesonthesky I Think The Best Time To View Conjunction Is Right After Sunset.. Jupiter Is a Bright Planet so It will be Visible and Saturn would Be Given Away in a Telescope along with their Moons. So The Planets will Be a Few Degrees Above Horizon. They Should be Visible👍🏻🔭

[@Omapk]

I hope I'll get a chance to see it, it's going to be so so low on the horizon.

[@Eyesonthesky]

It will be pretty low for most of us. Just hoping for clear skies.

Are there any cultes waiting for this rare phenomenon?

[@Eyesonthesky]

Probably. I don't recommend following any that are though. Actually I don't recommend following any cults.

[@mrjack8849]

I have been waiting a year for this! It better not be cloudy!

[@Eyesonthesky]

Right? At least we have a few days before and after the conjunction that they will still be pretty close though.

[@devarajkadipontgi]

Please what is website🙏 showing on live😀 reply me.

[@darkspartan566]

That would be awesome if someone post it I don't have a telescope no more unfortunately :(

[@bullthrush]

Have you done a video on the ZWO camera, I had a look at the channel but didn't see one, but since the titles are sometimes cut off, I may have missed it.

[@Eyesonthesky]

I have not yet. Still working on getting good photos. I need more practice at it. Hope to post some astrophotography videos next year sometime.

[@devarajkadipontgi]

Thank you video 😀 super🙏

[@jayofficial4225]

Will an iPhone 11 camera be able to catch it?

[@timmcmanus5649]

Thanks, David. Do you have any suggestions for techniques/methods to compensate for or manage the magnitude/dynamic-range issue? I was going to use one of my canons and do some bracketing, but I'm going to try this with a ZWO and have never messed with that. Seems like I'm taking different AVIs and different brightness and then addressing that post-processing? thanks again

[@Eyesonthesky]

I am working on a video about that right now. I think there are going to be multiple means to capture this and try to put them together. There probably isn't one "right" way.

[@cindineal7520]

Anyone knows what this conjunction means .I have it both at zero degree in natal chart?

[@reeeefreshing5129]

Your awesome I didnt know how to see it

Thank you!

There is no link in the description about the making of the clamp and I don't know why I can't search your channel. Did I misunderstand something?

Oh man, I totally forgot to add that. It should be there for you now. Sorry - and thanks for the reminder!

[@HelmutFischer-thehefi]

@@Eyesonthesky Oh! Yes! Thx a lot & clear skies!

[@freedombuilder7]

Because whatever happens "in the stars" has a major significance to the universe, what do you believe is the significance of Jupiter clashing with Saturn on 21 December? There are so many "happenings" in the world at the moment, like, the major election fraud with audits and lawsuits, the global reset and other challenges, it would be interesting to hear your take on this phenomena in the sky. What would the story in the sky represent?

[@somborn]

Maybe you should take a break from social media and get some sleep. Never the less have fun stargazing.

[@Eyesonthesky]

The significance is that it will amazing for us to witness the two largest gas giants in our solar system in one telescopic eyepiece field of view. That's it. Nothing else. There is not other significance. It's just a function of gravity, motion and time - nothing more.

[@freedombuilder7]

@@somborn maybe you should allow your mind to be more curious as to why God allows this to happen. There are no coincidences. Just like God placed the bright Bethlehem Star in the heavens, to lead the 3 Wise men to the place where baby Jesus Christ was born.

[@somborn]

@@freedombuilder7 I'm glad, you are the lucky one 👍

[@celestial_UY_scuti]

💙💙

[@Handles-R-Lame]

Ugh! Idk what telescope to choose for the conjuction!? My choices are the: 5" Mak-Cass, 6" Classical Cass and of course the good ol' 8" SCT... The choices are tough because the Mak is a planet killer but suffers from mirror flop, the Classical Cassegrain has no front corrector plate which no worry about fogging up plus its internally baffled but when time comes, ill prolly end up going with the good and reliable C8! The Schmidt Cassegrain is the all rounder plus at an 8 inch aperature im sure ill get a nice view and picture.. at least i hope! Now.. about the collimation... thats another story altogether.. lmao Clear skies to everyone! This is a rare event indeed, as was everything else that happened this year! 🔭🌙😁👍🏼

[@Eyesonthesky]

Yeah, I'd go with the 8" SCT.

[@kelvinaldarondo1811]

I Hope Jupiter and Saturn won’t Collided. Jesus Saves Us.

[@Eyesonthesky]

Well, they will not be any closer than 400,000,000 miles to each other, and Jupiter gets that close to Saturn every 12 years (just not close visually from our perspective like this time). So Jesus need not do anything different than the last 375 million times this has happened previously.
