Thank you so much! Still got to get around to that L2 video, haha. We just did all this research for planning to see the comet, that it made sense to share it with others!
We're terrible at telescopes, haha 🔭. Maybe that why we mostly do meteor showers and things we can see with our high powered binoculars. At least this comet should be too big for a telescope between perihelion and late October!
I'm so glad it was helpful. We quite literally made the video because after doing all the research on it, we felt it would be a waste if we didn't share all the info to save others the time! So I hope it did just that for you. Good luck catching it.
I am going to start looking for it on the 27th. I have a good view of the southeast sky. Thanks for the video. I really enjoy looking at comets. Have new binoculars to try and view it.
Thanks for this amazing guide! On the spreadsheet with details - is there a resource that lets you dynamically put in a location (say a GPS coordinate), and it updates with all the details with respect to that coordinate?
That would be awesome if so. I did these all by hand and I'm not aware of such a source. Maybe at a minimum, chat GPT can give the sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moon set for particular location in a table form according to date. Hopefully someone sees your comment and lets us know!
Good question. I think it should set roughly at the same speed of other stars (and our star) that are along the celestial equator which is about 15° per hour. It's going to be slightly different, because when Earth rotates around the next day, it's not in front of the exact same stars. But it's definitely close enough to be considered at about the same speed.
@@michaelkrafft7241 For most mid October days, I think that would be too much. If you look at the end of the video where I go over our settings for the shoot at Joshua tree, we only did 6 seconds. And Neowise was less bright than this is supposed to be.
I’m going to be trying out a SkyWatcher. On a wide angle lens it bumps up exposure times from 15 seconds to 3 minutes, so with good calibration you can at least expect a 2-3x bump in exposure timing for a telephoto, potentially even more. Comes down to technique and your experience level with the gear you have to get good data. Would highly recommend practicing on clear night skies on random stars / constellations on the nights after the comet sets.
@@mjkman0101How wide of an angle? I'd be worried about it looking too small in the picture. We caught it covering a quarter of the entire picture frame at 100mm on a full frame camera today. On the wider angle shots down to 20mm, the comet was just a speck.
By far the most informative video on this comet! Great info and helpful tips for planning!
Thanks! And stay away from those 🗻🦁!!! 😆
Wow, many thanks for all the detailed info! Your videos always have an incredibly charming vibe and are always very informative too.

i just started understanding how to use my telescope, this video is the perfect timing, thanks you guys

Great info, great video.
Thanks. Hope it helps!
Thanks so much for the video! I'm assigned to write an article on this, so your video is an amazing help. Excited to see it with my own eyes!

That's great to hear. Here's to hoping that it won't even need binoculars! 🤞☄️
Are you as excited for this comet as we are? I hope it stays strong! Let me know if we missed any good tips in the video.

wa state oct 13?
Yes! Use a star sky app and it will show if it's still in the sky
would a sky tracker mount help? Does the comet appear as stationary as other stars or planets?

@@RichardsRocketry thank you, I sort of assumed that at roughly 30 to 45 sec exposure it might be close enough.

Who is the cute little planet?
That's my cute little wifey!
@@RichardsRocketryshe seems a great person :)
Happy for you unc 😂❤
@@SmitPatel-q8cLol. I'm guessing I'm supposed to know who this is by the user name, but I can't figure it out! Haha. Thanks all the same.
Sory canadian,american is not my language.
Clearly, Chinese isn't ours either 😆☄️
