Love from Seattle! I do the same thing when I can with my 8" Dobsonian, and I definitely deal with similar weather often ruining my plans! I love it when people gasp or swear loudly when they see how pretty it is. So much fun. Keep at it!
Apologies for my late reply, I totally forgot to reply! Cool to hear others love doing public astronomy too, it is a wonderful thing sharing the experience with others. I must say the weirdest thing when people ask me how much I charge for the view :D Than I feel sometimes that our societies gone down on a wrong way when "selling" a free and awesome experience is difficult. But I'm getting better at it each time, now I kinda know what to say people on the streets to awake their interest. If this madness is over, I'll get back to it for sure! Good luck for you too and stay safe! ;)
We should keep on doing what we're the best at, sharing this almost unreal sensation of looking through a telescope. Moon never let us down, always blows minds. But will do some planetary observations soon ;) Keep uo the good work as well!
Great video. I have my studio in Wimbledon. If you let me know when you are doing the next one lots of people in the office would love to come and get involved
Would be nice :)The only issue is that I do this totally randomly. But when weather gets better, I might do a public date with a risk of weather goes bad :) Follow me on instagram (space station guys), I'll give a shout out there if I go again
Hi guys. I love the night sky but in London it kinda sucks with light pollution. I'd like to know what telescope you have here & would you recommend binoculars for star field views. I was looking at a pair in Argos store - Celestron 15x70. Any feedback appreciated, cheers!
Hey hey! It's only me, Szabolcs Nagy, the Space Station Guys name rather points toward the ISS imaging community I have managed to build on my website. (Sorry for the correction 😊) I'm using a Skywatcher 72/420 ED Apo refractor scope. It is a good travel scope as well, but for me this is my secondary scope for wider field imaging. I'm personally not doing deepsky observations, rather planetary imaging and ISS photography is my main interest. My other scope is a Skywatcher 250/1200 Flextube dobson telescope, with that ai have seen amazing things, even from London. The 72ED has a very wide field of view, not ideal for planetary observations, but for Moon and clusters it is brilliant. I have no great knowledge of binos, so I would rather not recommend any 🙂 Hope I helped in some ways! Kind regards

When I did the same thing as you in South Korea, people liked it and were surprised. Nice job bro!
that's such an amazing video! May you do another one if it's possible please?
Thanks so much! :) When covid is over I plan to do similar public observations, it is real fun! :)
Thank you for sharing
Doing Side Walk Astronomy here in my city of Zwolle.... great job folks!
Thank you!
Amazing to see the peoples reaction! Thanks for doing this :)
Thank you for watching and enjoying it :) :)
Great video. I do a lot of outreach too so I know the feeling.

This is too awesome
Always take a plastic barstool along to sit on :)
Make another!
I like it :3

I've got that telescope. It's the Skywatcher Evostar 72ED isn't it?
Yep that's the one, great telescope! Lots of clear skies 😉
😃
You find alien space ship on moon. OK? is good
Which telescope are you using ?
In this video I'm using a Skywatcher 72/420 ED Apo refractor telescope.
