Cool capture Chuck. Amazing job on the Pleiades in light polluted skies!
Hi...
How do you identify these objects. Like their names, how do you distinguish one from another?
444 light years + 444 light years = 888 light years)🤣
Chuck I have a question, how could you capture galaxies light years away but you can't capture Uranus and Neptune?
@Lakumba King no they arent
Did you ever realise that you're looking into "The Past"? How does it feel to know that we are not just looking into far away objects but also into their past? And realising that we'll never be able to look into their "Present" and never know if there's someone just like us somewhere in those galaxies who's looking into our past.
Quite mind blowing right?
@@ms_needle3502 yeah, indeed!
This video shows what I really love about "amateur" astronomy...
Wow
Light will curb in velocity, rejoice in complex matter in such distance, refract & reflect over gasly atmospher in space, in just a year or decade you witness celestial bodies appear and collide with others, was mostly was in the thousands, millions & billions of light distance sloped, ago, everything looks so fast, it will looks like the ancients assumtion of a big bang, there was No End to the Beginning, no center, rightside up, start or final, just eternal star gazing hobbies😉
I love those hidden treats we find in the field of view of our photos.
Right, they are always a nice bonus.
@Astro Nerd in this case, UGC 2838. I’ve captured images of objects as well where there’s a more distant object lurking in the background. A good example is just below the Heart & Soul Nebulae are a pair of faint galaxies, Maffei 1 & Maffei 2, which are about 11 million light years away. Fun little objects that hide in plain sight.
How do you find them afterwards in a 2d foto?
@@meditatingstuff referring to maps and comparing with star positions is the most straightforward method.
These pictures take my breath away every time you post brother, but to see the Pleiades in this way is emotional for me. Ive always been drawn to this star cluster ever since my childhood. I know in my heart this cluster is home to highly advanced life. What do you believe Chuck? Do you believe sentient life dwells within these awe inspiring photos of yours?
I certainly think life is out there, but because this star cluster is so young, I'm not sure if life could have formed so fast.
Maybe be Carlos maybe, but like chuck said this cluster is way too young for planet formation. The big stars that make the cluster famous are Type B giants and the possibility for planet formation is almost nonexistent for many factors but there is a F type star in the pleadies cluster a F6V somewhere on the age of 35-100 million years old with hot dust particals orbiting around it possibly planet formation. So who knows its still to early to tell.
@@ChucksAstrophotography yup. It formed that fast. Love you and thank you for your talent! 🌈🦋✨
Maybe you should search about who the Pleiadians are . ❤️
@@HSG333 If you think they're beings,
I think you need to reign in your imagination.
That’s just crazy, the light started coming here before the dinosaurs walked the earth!
Interesting facts Chuck👍
Thanks Simon!
Beyond that, light will bundle and slope speed attempting complex matter, then leave you a dead battery audio recording cassette played back in fresh sets, (as video in this case). Its eighter no more now or is about to be by soon.
In theory! Not Facts
Those decade footage of colliding galaxies, stars & super nova, didn't take place in just a decade, but of curbing velocity, refracted & reflected images in the millions, billions + years ago, more then half of what is in the cosmo sight up in the skies, may already no longer be there, everything in the universe lives and descends, there was no center, rightside up, very beginning BigBangTheory bs, the ancient assumed it, because everything looks & moves in fastward image speed. At such distance of light.
@@ckdigitaltheqof6th210 What the hell is that inarticulate word salad of yours trying to say? Any chance of conveying that information in coherent English sentences? Galaxies don't die or disappear; they merge into larger ones.
Amazing picture Chuck, it blows my mind that the light from the galaxy you pointed out left before dinosaurs walked the earth.
My heart is so full for when the people of Earth can meet the people of the Pleiades. The masses are not quite ready, but they will be soon.

I also always look for the fuzzy objects in the images.. it's really amazing how much you sometimes capture that you weren't aware of.
Very cool Chuck! Always a nice surprise in the background! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching, Westlake!
Wow!! This is So Cool!! Now Im Very Interested Looking For Fuzzies Galaxy in my Photos!! They Are More Fascinating than I thought!!
Right, I'm surprised I missed it in this one.
Lovely image of the Pleiades. You got me looking at my own images of M45 and I can just see it. I would never have known it was there. Thanks.
Awesome, glad you can see it too!
Nice one Chuck. I've just checked a couple of my Pleiades images and it's there. I had no idea!
Cool, it's so bright I don't even know how I missed it before.
Wow!! Just think how long it took the light to reach earth!! Awesome Chuck!!
Thanks for watching, Ray!
@@ChucksAstrophotography you bet bro!
That is VERY cool ❕
How satisfying and exciting it must have been when that realisation dawned.
Congrats.
I find myself looking for those objects after my imaging. I spend a ton of time looking too.. almost an obsession.
Also, I try to find asteroids when processing during blink...
I just shot Andromeda and there is an on-edge galaxy in the distance near M110... I'm going to try to find it in the catalogs. There are also a ton of faint smudges... not sure which are part of the target and which are in the background, but crazy that some of them have to be over half a billion light-years away!
Love your work! Congrats on the TH-cam award!
Oh thanks for reminding me, I heard there were lots of asteroids in this area. I should look for that next.
It's LEDA 2187102 really edge-on. Right next to M110.
Even more beautiful )
@@denispol79 Thanks!
Awesome! I will definitely be looking for this once I’m imaging Pleiades again :)
Nice surprise you got! Pretty cool Chuck!
Thanks Trev!
As a kid getting passionately into astronomy, this cluster inspired me to save every penny to get a higher magnification and resolution Newtonian reflector. But then, everything up there was gravy.
There's so much out there, Chuck. God's creation is pretty amazing. (understatement of the century!) The more you look, the more you see, the bigger the telescope you'll want. LOL
Yeah - I've toyed with the idea of still getting a bigger scope 😁
Lol it's not god's creation
@@thanos9372 if you say so. One day, if you're wrong, you'll be corrected. If I'm wrong, then it doesn't matter.
@@ChucksAstrophotography a 14" R.C. and an iOptron 120EC to mount it on.
@@ChucksAstrophotography yes get one
Hi Chuck, Cool find!
Not only that, it's definitely the most distant object in this photo!
I made a search in your image using Simbad catalog and couldn't find a more distant object that is still visible.
Of course there are many such objects in this field of view. but hey, it's a 15 second subs )
Ok cool, I was wondering if there were more distant objects in it, thanks!
Is it just me or i feel so much joy when i see the night sky stars? I feel so emotional and joyful at the same time seeing the beautiful stars upon my naked eyes.. i saw only a few stars last night and when i tell you i felt like crying i felt like crying it was still beautiful… Can’t wait to see more stars again soon. I felt emotional cause I finally saw stars once again after light pollution and cloudy nights. God Gave us the Universe as our gift to take care upon us 🤗☺️
Wow. Crazy! What an amazing find!
Thanks for watching!
That always blows my freaking mind when light travels through space and time.
What a great little gem that turned out to be. Makes ya want an EdgeHD 11 or 14 and NO reducer. :D
Have a good one, Chuck, and thanks for sharing this!
Hey, thanks for watching!
The fact that we can SEE other galaxies is INSANE and amazing to me!
President Eisenhower met with Beings from the Pleiades at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Thats when they gave Eisenhower the “ yellow book” as a gift to humanity.

Always interesting facts Chuck....👍
Thanks Astrobloke !
Excellent find ! sometimes the best things are in the fine details . BTW killer pic of the 7 sisters
Right, the the fine details can be amazing.
It is always awe inspiring to really think about how far the objects in our night sky are from us.
I love these videos
Cool, thanks!
I'll never forget the day my teacher told me "looking at a star is like looking at a picture of yourself from ten years ago" first my jaw dropped, then my mind went into overdrive contimplating what I just heard and how light works. The cosmos rule.
If you look close enough you can find distant galaxies in most DSO images. I always like to look for the faint fuzzies. Kind of mind-blowing just how far away these galaxies are. And how many others are beyond our visual range?
Right, they are in most pics. But I was surprised how bright this galaxy was and I still missed it, lol.
Whitchead has a lot of galaxies
@@williamluong7743 I've never tried that one.
Nice find Chuck.
Thanks 👍
Nice one Chuck. 👍
Thanks for the visit
I think you have a calling in voice acting. You have the perfect cartoon dad voice!
Thanks so much for your posts! 👍🙂👍
It still blows my mind you can view something that far away with a "civilian" telescope. I mean it's a super nice telescope I'd assume but I'd expect an observatory telescope or something in between getting the stuff you do. Amazing !
Thanks. That's the first time I heard someone call it a "civilian" telescope, lol. Maybe 'amateur' telescope, but I like your way better.
@@ChucksAstrophotography well I'm not the brightest bulb. Actually I was thinking the observatories are not owned by just one individual (maybe some are hell idk) Glad I made you laugh atleast. Keep up the great work.
Yep but can't see the flag or anything such right on our 🌝 moon
i'm not an astronomy nerd but i think we all agree that ppl in astronomy is really have a clear vision when looking of a star photos and know what is going on there
The honest truth is they really don’t know a damn thing about what is going on there, much less know the age and distances of these lights in the sky
These are incredible! Love your videos and teachings. Thank you very much, Chuck!
Your doing an amazing job with these videos I really appreciate it thank you!!!!😊
Glad you like them!
That is a heck of a rig you got there! Would love to have one myself! Maybe someday...
QUALITY AS ALWAYS 👌THANKING YOU
Pleiades Is my favorite thing to look at in the sky. It kinda looks like a painter was painting stars. Messed up and tried to cover up his mistake. But left a smudge on the canvas
My kids going to love this one.
Awesome!
So humble, love your videos mate. So thank you :)
You still take great photos.
That's a nice setup you got there. Awesome picture too. Those
Chuck, thanks for the heads up! I pulled up the image I shot last week and low and behold there it was. That will give something to point a longer tube at this weekend!
Cool, I've been looking at other people's photos, it seems it's in most of them - it's actually pretty bright.
@@ChucksAstrophotography If the sky allows tonight I'm going to try shooting it with the 2100mm. I want you to know I love your channel. I am relatively new at astrophotography (not astronomy) and you have shown me a lot of good stuff esp with pixinsight.
dude! you're an inspiration... keep em coming
Wow what a reality check
Cool!
Nice find!
Its sad to see some of these galaxies are long gone 😢
Thank you so much for making this content im so fascinated with space and your videos are awesome and i was wondering if you could do one on black holes but again thank you for making this content your the best
That's a nice relative description of the imense distance , thank you sir .
"please be aliens come on please be aliens" "it's another galaxy" "yeah but it probably has aliens"
Oh cool! That's fkn old!
Hey that pleaides cluster looks like a commercial art piece , exactly like the background art for The Jetsons ! Very pretty!
Fascinating Chuck I do always have a look around for the fainter stuff & after watching this I did look at one of my M45 images but sadly it were outside the field of view, maybe we'll nab it at a star party we're going to soon.
Simply mind blowing 🤯.
Cool, glad you think so.
You are quite the photographer sir. And again another nice catch.
Imagine if all of those nebula disappeared and were just seeing everything 300 million years ago
Thank you, love these
Oh wow Thank you Chuck, that's an amazing find
When your friend is more researcher than you're
Such a clear photograph
My Goodness! Your friend has such Eagle Eyes indeed! 🕯🌷🌿🌍
Double cluster is full of them too... just look... cluster are a great target to find those upg galaxies!
I love the background musics too
Love your work brotha!!
Great info Chuck, again something to put on my (to long) list 👍
Omg I am earlyyyy I love ur videos so much!!!! This one was really interesting…….
Very early, lol.
Gosh I cannot imagine being able to see a galaxy through a telescope. I can’t wait for the day I see one with my own eyes
Goodness gracious, that's awesome
Thanks Jordan!
I love your pictures. I have a 12" Meade LX200, and I need to get it going to take some pictures like this.
I wish you are my close friend listen with your explanation and stories at your back yard. you are very informative Sir .. thank you ...huge fan
I want to expand my consciousness so that I can experience the entire galaxy all at once.
U r living ur life man
Who the heck are these 4 people who disliked this video?? Seriously, why??
Btw Chuck, your video made imaging the Pleiades so much more interesting :D
Oh cool, thanks!
Good question. The first thing that cane to mind was maybe 4 people who tried astronomy and gave up for what reason.. who knows 🤷🏽♂️
@@geemanbmw Or competitors 😈
Es una galaxia!!! Que hermosura
👏👏
Space is amazing
Chuck, do you ever see starlink sat streaks in your images? Are they something you have to deal with in you observations and imagery?
I can't believe I've never once been hit with StarLink. So I'm not concerned for now.
If there's life on this planet.. what makes you think that there aren't other civilizations out there in those far away galaxies ?
Man you're a true Astronomer!! Are in anyway realted to Galileo or Copernicus or Kepler to say the least 🤣
lol, I wish, but my roots are somewhere west of the Dead Sea around the time they were alive, far far away.
@@ChucksAstrophotography 🙏
Beautiful shot of Pleiades. Did you post your photo?
The sun illuminates the stars❤️🇬🇧💯
Damn i love these vids.but how do u know the name of every galaxy? Did u make it up or is it there already? There are gizzilions of them hoe could there be a name? I'm just curious
Thanks for sharing
How are you able to identify galaxies amon these ??? You're so awesome bro!
I'm overwhelmed, My question is were from these Galaxy's get their lights, so that it can travel such distances.
How the hell would someone just notice something like that is what I can't wrap my brain around...
Wow how do you recognize those? Or do you use a software to identify it?🔭
Right, I use software to identify them. I made a video on it: th-cam.com/video/AHI5DheTz8Y/w-d-xo.html
Wow what a surprise! The Rasa misses nothing. Talk about visual time travel.
Yeah - it was so bright and and there was even color in the galaxy without me even trying to enhance it.
My star family .
So galaxies are basically time stamps from the past? Or are these galaxies are similar to files on a computer?
Have you thought about uploading an astrophotography course for some of us to improve our images and viewing? Hint hint
I wonder if there's some life in that galaxy looking back at our own galaxy through a telescope.. 🤔
Im 70 but My dream is still to get a decent Telescope one day Thx U Thats Amazing
Awesome surprise
Nice scope...how much? Did you build it yourself or purchase it?
I'm so jealous of that telescope
