June 11, 2023. Finally some clear skies, so I just found Alberio. Cygnus is way larger than I thought, and it was Vega which first popped out from some lingering clouds, then Deneb, then the "wings" of the swan which gave away it's scale. Alberio is stunning, even with low magnification. Thanks for all of your videos!
Your videos really helped me greatly! I'm so happy I get to know more about Cygnus, it's the first constellations aside from Orion, that got me hooked up about learning more about the stars.
What an amazing name for that kitten. Just got myself a telescope a month ago. Albireo is one of my favorite targets after Saturn, Jupiter and Moon. Well when the skies are clear and I don't have to work the next day. (Of course the cloudy weather started just after I got my telescope, the curse is real lol)
After the Easter egg hunt declination versus right ascension video. Used the Miller planisphere to interpolate to this video. Your videos are really helpful.
I can split Albireo at 8x using my monocular.I am guessing that 8x must be about the limit as I have tried at 5x and it doesn't split but I don't have anything of 6 or 7x.
The videos are informative and all, but where do you get the musics from? They are so good. And also, the story of your cat really made me feel warm, and it was just so wholesome
Hello. I use the TH-cam audio library for my music. Thank you for you comment about my cat...he really is sweet and I'm so glad he found me as an owner.
Thank you! He is definitely one of the best things in my life. Maybe his brother will make an appearance eventually. We originally going to foster them, but we ended up keeping them.
I think this is the video for the star who's coordinates you gave in the right ascension and declination video. The app on my phone gave coordinates that are a little bit off, so I wasn't sure if this was the right. I guess it must be this one since others have commented already
Proper name for the cat, I see the relation upon seeing the cat. Thanks for making the video so I can find Albireo and Summer Triangle at night for the first time.
Coming here from RA vid. Found it using my Mobile Observatory pro3 app. But coordinates are a little different. Is this error or just due to actual change in star's position?
Point taken. Seeing a truly dark sky changed the course of my life (I ended up moving to Hawaii so I could see a brilliant sky every night), so that is why I am so passionate about it. Seeing the stars without artificial light pollution is something that every human should have the privilege of seeing.
@@learntheskyfirst time I saw the Milky Way was in 1982. I was going through Marine boot camp at Parris Island South Carolina. I could not believe how the night sky was so dark, it looked like thousands of diamonds with a swath of whisky smoke. I was in O’Ahu for 6 years but Honolulu is to bright with night pollution. Thanks for sharing. And yes, I love your cat. One of my commander Officer had a vertically split iris on his left eye; one side was blue the other brown. I was always amazed how unique it was.

I've seen this double star through a very good quality binoculars. Two separate stars easily separate. 🏀🏐

Loved your cat😍😍😍😍
That makes me so happy!
I think from now on when I stare at Albireo, I will remember your cute cat.
Right Acension:
19h 30m 43.286s
Declination:
+27° 57′ 34.84″
Am I the first?!

Great video! I was just looking at Albireo through my telescope moments ago. So cool!
Albireo is one of my favorite stars...it never gets old seeing it!
Clicked for the kitty and was not disappointed. I know so many people who would have called that cat Jareth but this is much nerdier.

That is a nice way on finding the Albireo
Why aren’t the other stars in the northern cross named? Especially beta Cygnus
I saw this tonight for the first time in 10 years, and the colour contrast really makes this one a total beauty ✨
Albireo- A nice name for your cat. Enjoyed the video
I’m in the poconos visiting from Philly and oh lord the stars are so nice here.
Albireo is the name of my son! I can't wait to show him his namesake when he grows up ❤
Great video. Just wondering if the Earth could be pinpointed in that picture.

I look forward to seeing Albireo in a telescope again! Thank you for your video!
Hi
coming from your video about right ascension and declination
it is Albireo :)
thanks, nice videos, I learnt a lot!
You got it! Thanks so much for watching!
Greetings from Switzerland!
I just found it too! I need to research some astronomy for my science Olympiad event, love your videos!
wow that's so perfect name for your cat ⭐v⭐
Albireo 😍😁✌️
very informative video! thanks :)
I need to see them from my window
Hello Janine - the future Janine sent me here!!! Albireo A!
Believe it or not, Albireo marks the Northern Cross' base.
Just the channel i was looking for!
What a gorgeous cat
Thank you!
Pakistan zindabad ❤️❤️❤️
i love this for you, not jealous at all.

I've never seen a beautiful cat like Alberio with one blue eye and one gold eye that matches the color of the binary star system the head of the swam.
Thank you! He is definitely one of the best things in my life. Maybe his brother will make an appearance eventually. We originally going to foster them, but we ended up keeping them.
Great vid. 🤣 @ 4:10

You are correct!
Came from the video about right ascension and declination...the answer was hard to find
Glad you made it!
YES....I FOUND IT.....
i cried that was so cute
loving these videos
Proper name for the cat, I see the relation upon seeing the cat. Thanks for making the video so I can find Albireo and Summer Triangle at night for the first time.
Janine's got a pretty kitty!
His eyes are awesome...
They are! He is a very handsome cat 🐈
Came from the RA & Dec video. Answer: Albireo 🔭👍🏻🌟
Beautiful system and I also look for it always when we have clear nights! Very cool name for your cat.
4:10 That's soooo cute! when you look up in the sky and you can see your cat! (please say a hi to Albireo from me : ) )
Educational and cute. Cool little cat 😅. Pets always enhance the experience.
That’s a clever name for your kitten
Thank you!
Albireo the cat îs the star of the show
Yes, yes he is! 🐈😻
