Don’t know if you read comments anymore but thanks for this series. Short, to the point, and understandable. My compliments for a TH-cam series above the norm.
When you filmed this, did you ever imagine you'd be helping brand new astronomers 12 years later? Just got my first telescope, your videos are so amazing. So much practical advice crammed into these intro videos. Going through your "what to see in X season" playlists too. Pure gold. You rock, man.
@@MichaelGarcia-e1b thanks, and no, I figured they might be useful for 5 to 7 years and would get replaced by other content. So I appreciate the current kudos!
I encounter a problem studying ancient history, where the people most knowledgeable about the subject assume I already know as much as they do. You are solving this for me in the field of astronomy in 15 minutes. THANKS!!!
This was a nice refresher. I hadn't heard of Integrated Brightness before, so that was great. I really like your audio edit with the lower/higher near the end. It's genuine, and I get it. Thanks.
Hi EOTS! I JUST CAME UPON YOUR CHANNEL TODAY. I WANT TO DO GAZING. I NEVER USED TO LOOK UP AND WHERE I LIVE IS ALWAYS CLOUDY, ETC. I WANT TO DISCOVER! YOU'RE VERY TALENTED AND I LIKE YOUR VIDEO EDITING SKILLS. TAKE CARE AND CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE.
My only words of advice would be to put an annotation at 4:45 for the audio edit. The caption reads "lower" as well. Unfortunately not all phones show all annotations. I'm watching this on a PC, but my phone displays some annotations on youtube, but not others. I'm not sure what determines it.
use the formula m1-m2= -2.5 log(b1\b2) m1 and m2 is given so your answer woould be in b1 and b2 for which you will get how much times the brightness is greater
how about adding the program you used to the description, it's everyones dream for this sort of thing. Also someone with a little know how can get this bad boy on any tablet. www.stellarium.org/en_CA/ ...

Thank you!! Always nice to read such warm compliments.
I am watching this series after 8 years and your videos are still simple and easy to comprehend so thank you so much!
10 years later. feel the same!

Nice save on the lower-higher ;)
You Sir are awesome. Thank you sooooo much for sharing these videos. Very informative.
Thank you so much for the kind words; that's very nice of you to say. I'm glad to help others learn more about the night sky.
Eyes on the Sky
Will there be more Vids like this? Nice job!
Clear Skies!
Eventually; presently I'm working on the videos for this: eyesonthesky.com/StarCharts/FirstLightGuides.aspx
Ditto...short, to the point, and understandable. All of this makes your series very practical for the backyard astronomers, like myself.
Thank you!
Thanks David, we all have to start somewhere and your help is greatly appreciated
Thank you David for the videos on the night sky! Very informative and easy to understand.

Most ancient religious traditions were founded upon observations of the stars. There is much here to learn for those on a "Spirit Journey".

Thanks for the great easy way to understand the sky. And thank you for using BC for dates!
Thank you so much, I have learned a lot by watching your three videos - "Star gazing basics 1 to 3".
You're welcome, and thank you for watching.

2023, and I am here watching this. Very informative. Thank you!! ❤
Thank you for this kind and generous comment! Clear and dark skies!
Thanks again. Super simple for a beginner and as a reminder for an intermediate student.
Watching this after 10yrs but still the best vdo series!
Thank you for such a kind compliment!
Thanks so much! I had homework for star magnitude and these facts helped me get it done real quick and helped me understand alot about the topic!
Let the Dew Drops Fall on good teachers like you!
Definitely using this video in my Space Unit/ lesson plan!!!
Thanks brother for sharing this with us
Really helpful. Thank you
Great video, like always. Thank you very much.
Awesome explanation once again
Thank you!
You made this too easy thanks for the video
You're welcome!
Great video 👍🏽I learned alottttt watching this video keep up the good work :)
Thanks for explaining it clearly. Added to playlist: Astronomy, cosmos, universe.

Thanks man ! Really informative !!
Great stuff!
Good one for beginners, thanks David Fuller..:)
Awsome
Very informative video, helped me understand the magnitudes :p
very useful.. thanks!
Great stuff thanx
Nice - have a exam tomorrow and THIS HELPS WOW
Glad it helped!
when star A has M= -2 and star B has M= 3, I know star B is brighter, but by how much? Do I multiply 2.5 between magnitude steps?
use the formula m1-m2= -2.5 log(b1\b2)
m1 and m2 is given so your answer woould be in b1 and b2
for which you will get how much times the brightness is greater
you are amazing! Subscribed.
Thank you very much.
Very helpful
So why did Hipparchus seemingly overlook Sirius?
Good question. It's very name means "searing" or "scorching" due to the brightness.
How did you figure out that the sun is 400K times brighter than the moon? Can I get a formula?
Hey man! What's up!
Thank u sir❤️
Most welcome!
Great
Thanxx!
Sir if you're reading this, Remember You are great 🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
TIL parsec is actually a real unit of distance
You're dressed like a true stargazer.
4:45 glitch :D
how about adding the program you used to the description, it's everyones dream for this sort of thing. Also someone with a little know how can get this bad boy on any tablet. www.stellarium.org/en_CA/ ...

didn't know Steve O was into stars and shit
Ah, the joy of being judged for my looks rather than my content.
Man I'm getting interested in stargazing and astronomy right in a cloudy week. Oh and it's also new moon, which is great. NOT :)
LuisCubing I know I'm late but the best chance to observe stars is when there is a new moon.
Can so relate.
I want to be student
4:45 lol
Did he just call me a liar ?
