I missed the comet sadly as i was in hospital at the time it came for 4 weeks.
WE ARE NOT KAMILIA !...WE G.D. KNOW WHAT COMET'S ARE .👺
Can you show us the purple streetlights/areas with bluest light/UV richness? Can you overlay that with a topographic map or water map?
Thanks!
Work around that I use for the S50 control on my PC, is Microsoft Phone Link, not completely ideal, but more than usable. Launch phone link, connect to your phone, navigate to apps on your phone or device using the Phone Link on your PC, launch Seestar and you are good. One thing I wish I could figure out is a way to control the S50 using Stellarium telescope control feature, dead end so far.
Thank you for your presentation. 1) you can have 2 connections to the scope at one time 2) shooting a target for hours is OK IF... the target is centered AND it's no larger than the full Moon.
Thanks Connor. Good presentation.
Good chat, the hot mic was unfortunate but we all make mistakes. Damo
Hello
Just wondering if you have ever encountered any issue with the mount running into the asiair mounted that way? I would really like to try your method but I know that ZWO recomends against mount the ASIair to the AM5. Thanks
It is amazing how far went Arp even without having nowadays technology. The best astronomer in modern astronomical history. He was right about the quasars and Big bang. They didn't follow his hypothesis only because he wasn't a theoretical physics.
So many unfinished plans Dean left! His astronomical observatory in the backyard of his house in Tucson, preparations for observing a total solar eclipse in Summer of 2024, and many others. But fate decided otherwise - Dean has gone to heaven. With the passing of this Great Person and Great American, an entire epoch in the amateur astronomy movement was cut short. Eternal memory to Dean! We will remember him always as he is just impossible to forget!
Thank you so much for making these available at the Library!
Great presentation!!!
Nice video, very helpful. Clear skies from a former Tucson and Vail resident now in Colorado.
Great star party ill be at the next one in May!
Hi....Can you folks Recommend a good Telescope that would let me See these type of Photos on a nice clear night?? I have a 80x100 pair of Binoculars. I want a Good Telescope and where can I makes this Purchase. I'm in Dresden Maine in a Wooded area

Craig's review was very informative. I've been trying to decide between the AM5 and the Sky Watcher EQ6 for galaxy imaging with an 8" Edge HD. I really like everything I've read about the AM5, and I already have the ASIAirPlus, but I worry about the recommendation of a guide rate of 0.5 -1 seconds due to the characteristics of the periodic error of the AM5. Too fast for the image scale at 2000mm? Craig, have you found this to be a problem? Thanks again for a nice program. I will have to join TAA again!
Why is this a video, with ads no less, embedded in another video?
Why didn’t that guy put a weight in the bag that comes with the tripod? That’s what they recommend at ZWO.
Wonderful video my friend. I'm your fan+👍🔔
is this what the coming press release is about?
Thanks for the Live 🔭🪐✨
Good presentation. I looked for the PI script and couldn't find it. Can you post the link?
Hi, I’ve got a astronomy question, does “ to the jewel that burns on the brow of the mother of all of galaxys’’ correlate or mean anything in astronomy?
So does it stream to a smart TV?

Hello
Such a thorough review and explanation of the Vaonis Stellina, great job! I really want to buy one, even more so after watching your review.
The eVscope exposes for only 4 sec. (no derotator). Integration times over 20 minutes exhibit little improvement.
Do we know if anybody has stripped one of these down and analysed what's in there? Do we know for sure that the image produced is actually the same image its looking at right now and not just a stock library image? Hoping to see variations between different peoples images and not all the same? Could be a giant hoax.
Venus, we are told, has an atmosphere that is almost pure carbon dioxide and an extremely high surface temperature, 750 K, and this is allegedly due to the radiative greenhouse effect, RGHE. But the only apparent defense is, “Well, WHAT else could it BE?!” (besides/also molten core volcanism) Well, what follows is the else it could be: (Q = U * A * ΔT) aka a contiguous participating media. Venus is 70% of the Earth’s distance to the sun, its average solar constant/irradiance is about twice as intense as that of earth, 2,602 W/m^2 as opposed to 1,361 W/m^2. But the albedo of Venus is 0.77 compared to 0.31 for the Earth - or - Venus 601.5 W/m^2 net ASR (absorbed solar radiation) compared to Earth 943.9 W/m^2 net ASR. The Venusian atmosphere is 250 km thick as opposed to Earth’s at 100 km. Picture how hot you would get stacking 1.5 more blankets on your bed. RGHE’s got jack to do with it, it’s all Q = U * A * ΔT. The thermal conductivity of carbon dioxide is about half that of air, 0.0146 W/m-K as opposed to 0.0240 W/m-K so it takes twice the ΔT/m to move the same kJ from surface to ToA. Put the higher irradiance & albedo (lower Q = lower ΔT), thickness (greater thickness increases ΔT) and conductivity (lower conductivity raises ΔT) all together: 601.5/943.9 * 250/100 * 0.0240/0.0146 = 2.61. So, Q = U * A * ΔT suggests that the Venusian ΔT would be 2.61 times greater than that of Earth. If the surface of the Earth is 15C/288K and ToA is effectively 0K then Earth ΔT = 288K. Venus ΔT would be 2.61 * 288 K = 748.8 K surface temperature. All explained, no need for any S-B BB LWIR RGHE hocus pocus. Simplest explanation for the observation.
1) By reflecting away 30% of ISR the albedo, which would not exist w/o the atmosphere/GHGs, makes the earth cooler than it would be without that atmosphere like that reflective panel set behind the windshield. Remove the atmosphere/GHGs and the earth would become much like the Moon and Mercury, a barren rock with a 0.1 albedo, 20% more kJ/h, hot^3 on the lit side, cold^3 on the dark. Nikolov, Kramm (U of AK) and UCLA Diviner mission all tacitly agree. 2) the GHG up/down welling, “trapping”/”back” radiating/delaying/intercepting, 100 % efficient, perpetual warming loop requires "extra" energy which according to RGHE theory comes from 3) the terrestrial surface radiating that "extra" energy as a LWIR ideal black body which 4) cannot happen because of the non-radiative heat transfer processes of the contiguous atmospheric molecules and as demonstrated by experiment, the gold standard of classical science: principia-scientific.org/debunking-the-greenhouse-gas-theory-with-a-boiling-water-pot/ 1+2+3+4 = 0 Greenhouse Effect + 0 Greenhouse gas warming + 0 man caused climate change.

That moon outreach segment was amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
If the sun was in a later phase of life, would the prominence still be H gas? Or a heavier element?
Good question. I don't know. Makes sense that maybe prominences wouldn't be composed of Hydrogen if the sun runs low on H. Could be that when the sun reaches later life, it may not have the same energy profile and not have any prominences.
Why does the HA filter make the sun look like it's edges are red?
H-alpha is in the red part of the spectrum.
Is our sun white or yellow? I heard it's really white. But it's also a G.2.5 class star on the Hertzsprung Russell scale, which is considered yellow. Right?
GREAT idea! the packaging was pretty well thought out. the zoom eyepiece kept it simple. narration was good.
Thanks for sharing. I got the chance to view a rocket launch in 2018. Amazing experience. I shared a pretty cool montage of the journey to my channel.
My kids loved it!!! Thanks for the recording, and all the information and great presentation, we will be watching again for sure!
This Star Party was my first, but not my last! These gentlemen are knowledgeable in their craft of astronomy and very patient at answering the numerous questions I had during their presentation. I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT! I shall see them again in April at the next one! Thank you, guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!!

Thanks so much for doing these virtual star parties. Your EAA team approach, with a variety of seasonal objects you choose to discuss, is entertaining and insightful. I really miss CAC since I moved to California. Only went there twice but what a gem; I think about those two visits frequently. Although I prefer visual observing with a big Dob, frequent observations from one's urban backyard means learning EAA, which I am currently doing. So to see what's possible with a Mallincam and Hyperstar is very helpful. Question: besides Mallincam, what other cameras did you consider for EAA? Seems like a lot of people choose ZWO or Atik.
Thanks. Malincam's work best for live virtual star parties because they can integrate faster and are a video camera. For deep sky astrophotography, many us Atik, ZWO, ASI, among others. I have an Atik camera but don't get much astrophotography done since I am usually busy with outreach events. We have two members with Malincam's we use for virtual. I am mostly visual when in-person. I might dive into Malincam as well since we seem to be doing more virtual. Jim.
