I've got a lot to thank you for Brady. If it wasn't for Deep Sky Videos I wouldn't have got into Amateur Astronomy, in 2 years I've advanced through 2 telescopes all because of your videos, you really inspired me (and continue to). You innovate TH-cam like no other producer, and part of the reason your presence on youtube is so epic is because of how prolific your channels are if subscribed to all, there's always new videos coming (PS. Make more PsyFile Videos!! ) If there are any other amateur astronomers out there feel free to message me to talk stars.. I recently got my motorized SkyWatcher 130M (5.1" primary mirror) + EQ2. Also, yet another great video. I so so wish you could give more time to DSV, I see why more work is put into Sixty Symbols because it's such a broader subject but I can't help it, personally I just want more Deep Sky Videos. Can't say one~ a month satisfies my Astronomic feels. Err oh yeah, completely unrelated, but this has got to be a good place to ask. Why do scientific papers start with 'Abstract'.. Why abstract?

Brady, Your videos are always my favorite new releases. Getting to know how we get to know things about our world and universe just elates me as high as the stars themselves. I love your channels.
This scope has helped provide some INSANELY detailed wide angle images. Including one of the central region of our galaxy that you can zoom in on for what seems like forever.
Thank you for all the great videos in all of your channels Brady and Deepskyvideos is my favourite channel too. Could you please post videos often in here too! God bless...
Cool telescope Brady, Thanks for sharing this video with us. I wish Zooniverse was still doing the galaxy search and the bubbles. I really enjoyed that.
I hope this is not a stupid question but... Who pays for the making (and maintenance and operation) of this kind of telescopes ?... Nations ? Donations ? Private Universities ? A for-profit company that rents it ?... I think you can make a video interviewing astronomers on this topic.
Peter Hall stars, nebulae, galaxies... since this one has very large field of view, probably surveys of Milky Way and looking for supernovae are its everyday objectives
How much power does it use? It sounds like chilling half a city :D Must be a lot to keep the whole thing at ambient temperature while chilling those sensors :)
DoinItRightTheFirstTime I don't want to be that guy. But you do know ,if you really wanted to do something ...You can... Everything is in your hands.If you put your mind to it nothing will be able to stop you... jus sayn.
I wonder how big can we go with these telescopes. Say a few hundred years from now humanity built a telescope that has a primary mirror 10 kilometers in diameter. What could we see with such a telescope? Could we capture very detailed photos of the surfaces of exoplanets? What is the limit - how big can we ever built, and how far/detailed can we then see with it? I'm sure some geeks could do the calculations :)

thanks for this... you are very kind... There's more DSV to come and we really enjoy it... Just not enough hours in the day!

Xophe A'dethri that's really kind of you. thank you for watching
Great footage! Thanks for making the trip to Chile to capture all that!

Thanks Brady! I wish you could do DeepSkyVideos more frequently!
me too.

That was great, your narration and videoing made me feel like I was there.
Thanks mate.
Awesome video! I think the disks to turn it are pretty cool. :)
3:40 Red boxes are where all the floppy disks are inserted before each shot.
The secondary mirror "stand" seems quite bulky, obscuring an area on the primary mirror larger than the hole in the middle.
I would like to have a 30 inch version of this for our observatory SKAS, Lockwood Valley, CA.
Is there any way i can visit these telescopes myself?
That experience you had there Brady... I'm jealous.
Cool telescope Brady, Thanks for sharing this video with us. I wish Zooniverse was still doing the galaxy search and the bubbles. I really enjoyed that.
I'm curious about the large white disk that was above the telescope. Was it some kind of calibration target?
Yes it is.
That white circle on the top inside, is that for flats?
What stops dust from collecting on... the entire apparatus?
can you do some videos on notable space probes? more solar system stuff?
Great video, Brady. That's a pretty cool telescope :-)
PinkChucky15 it sure is - cheers for watching
very cool
wow! i really want to go there one day. beautiful view.
ericsbuds It's a great place
As always, great video. But what was that huge white circle on the ceiling? Some kind of calibration tool?
this is in chile, im from chile, thats nice
why is their camera bigger than yours ?
The A at the end is not accidental. Vista means Sight in Spanish, so that's why they added the A
good scope
Very interesting video. I enjoyed this :)
I hope this is not a stupid question but... Who pays for the making (and maintenance and operation) of this kind of telescopes ?... Nations ? Donations ? Private Universities ? A for-profit company that rents it ?... I think you can make a video interviewing astronomers on this topic.
Nations. I am not sure if Vista is from Europe, but if it would be then all nations associated with the ESA pay for this.
Nations and some international organisations (EU).
What do you think they are really looking for?
Galaxia
ESO not ESA.
Peter Hall stars, nebulae, galaxies...
since this one has very large field of view, probably surveys of Milky Way and looking for supernovae are its everyday objectives
Laura 'Who' is your guide? Who is she, what is she doing on a regular base up there? From which university is she, what country?
Wait, how do you find the time for all these VLT videos? Do you live next to it or something? Impressive.
I'm not the first one to ask, but are sites/telescopes like this one accesable for the "common" public?
How much power does it use? It sounds like chilling half a city :D
Must be a lot to keep the whole thing at ambient temperature while chilling those sensors :)
Why are hardhats always required inside these telescope buildings? If construction isn't ongoing, why is it necessary?
wow, it looks like a time machine....I guess it is!
good point!
*A Look at the VISTA Telescope*
Most enteresting
VERDADEIRO SHOW!
Wonderful feat of human engineering. May you humans peer into the depth of the cosmos for years to come.
Keep giving us the little details - we like 'em too.....
Sweet. More Deepsky! Cheers, Brady!
there's more to come...
DeepSkyVideos
Thanks again B!
so jealous of the things you do, Brady.
no need to be jealous... you just saw exactly what I saw but didn't have to sit in planes and airports! :)
DeepSkyVideos Always the positive thinking Brady.I wish I could have as positively optimistic outlook on life as you are.
DeepSkyVideos
being there is an experience in itself, though! and i like sitting in airports, it gives you time to people watch! hah
DoinItRightTheFirstTime I don't want to be that guy. But you do know ,if you really wanted to do something ...You can... Everything is in your hands.If you put your mind to it nothing will be able to stop you... jus sayn.
awsum.
Also the Spanish word 'vista' means 'view' in English. As in buena vista, or good view.
It's an English word, too, and apparently it was taken from Italian, not Spanish. Well, I'm pretty certain the Latin root is all the same anyway.
A bit misleading title of the video... but very interesting anyway. :)
awesome :D
wide angle :13m ok thats an astronomers definition of wide angle

sadly telescopes mirrors can't be built that much bigger than what they already are. they'll just be too massive, which can distort the mirror
Wenn will they upgrade to Seven? ^^
(Windows Pun.... duh)
Adding the random "A" at the end of the acronym sort of made it pointless - just call it whatever name you want it to have...!
Vista is a word.
Noface I know... I meant, just drop the acronym altogether. Just call it Vista.
thecassman But... Acronyms are awesome! They add 10 times the coolness.
Cam Wipper
I know, right? :)
A fish-eye lens? Really, Brady?
"stubby and short" I wonder why he likes it. lol
I didn't see space once
I from Chile.
Never been there.
Probably never will.
I want, though.
Bye.
no way, im the 300th viewer XD
Astronomy porn.
