This man is probably my favorite astrophotographer on the platform. His content is so entertaining and educational -it just never disappoints
So genuine too, he tells it like it is. Others would try to sell you on things you don't need, this guy could shine a spoon to a mirror finish and find a way to view Jupiter.
yup, i've never owned a telescope and never taken photos of space (though i am a professional photographer) and I love watching all his vids :)
Until the alien hoax entert this channel
Rory's d'best 😀👌 probably the only guy who could make an educatinal entertaning and comedical full-length astro series. Not to forget the one and only Ricktenstein 💪
He saw nothing
You know its a good day when astrobiscuit uploads
Agreed
Yup!
I sometimes miss the bunny, but I totally agree!
@@pogan1983 what happened to bunny?
Yeah!
As a 14 yesr old this is really inspiring! Amazing video sir!
Many future careers will be born out of your youtube videos about astronomy
Trust me it's worth the time and money
As a 5 year old I wholeheartedlly agree.
as a one year old i agree
@@adrijancihaber5388
Haven't even gotten out of the womb but I definitely agree
I am not even born yet and I also enjoyed the video.
When I was a bit younger I thought only such images could come from space telescopes like Hubble. Truly beautiful.
When you were a bit younger, you were right! I’ve been in this hobby for about 60 years and to see the changes that have came and went is crazy. Just the last 10 years have been massive.
@@davidtotten3042 I really need to get a telescope then. I've always wanted to and never did. My only dislike is that it seems one has to set up a camera to get enough light to capture these images. Would that I could look through the aperture and see such things in real time...
Really! me too
@@vgamedude12. You can try live stacking images (Using software like SharpCap) and see nebulae and galaxies build up on a computer screen. That will give you a lot more than just looking through an eyepiece. It’s the closest to real-time astronomy and fairly easy to do. It’s called EAA (Electronically Assisted Astronomy). The Cloudy Nights forum will be a lot of help setting this up.
@@vgamedude12to get these great images u don’t only need a camera but also need to stack tons of images 😂 but nothing to worry about it’s easy
Hello! I’m a 14 year old Amateur Astronomer, been photographing for just over 2 years now with my 9” Dob in dark New Zealand Skies. I’d just like to make a recommendation for a future video where if possible, you could go out to one of our many dark skies reserves and shoot a video. It feels like another world at night time down there and I think everyone should see it once in their lives.
100% agree. especially lake tekapo as its more than the skies, also the views of the mountains aswell! im 19 from auckland and plan on travelling there many times.
That’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing! I never knew new Zealand skies are so special:)
This was absolutely incredible. You are such an inspiration, not just in your findings but in the way you dedicate yourself for dealing with all the difficulties of this vocation with such high spirits and endless devotion. These images blew my mind into pieces. The live feed of the star nursery with all the bubbles - a celestial object of such vast proportions laid out in front of us like sprinkles on frosting - within our live point of view, from here on earth!! I couldn't believe what I was seeing. And after that, seeing the protoplanetary disc and the young solar system was just beyond comprehension.
It's amazing that nerd astronomers can produce images with this much detail.
NERD - a Negating Elitarianism Random Dude, a fellow to whom the society basically owes computers, mobiles, hybrids, telescopes, etc. Never to be unrecognised again - it's a master title.
This the least amazing thing it is able to do....but saying that I am sure you can't understand what is the great of its genius
As an amateur myself for many years, I really appreciate your work!! Amazing!!
Amazing, how much work you put into making these videos. Some of us are struggling with astrophotography alone, but you also create this great content in the meantime. Thanks mate!
You really should have a tv program as you put the whole thing over as good as David Attenborough is with animals. Schools should use these programs in science lessons to help kids get interested in space, keep up the good work and can’t wait for the next one.
No they need to stay away from television. TV is not a good medium anymore.
Better than Attenborough, as Astrobiscuit's vids dont contain lies.
I agree, totally watchable with no padding.
Broadcast television is a dying medium. This is heaps better!
If you think something that's freely accessible and replayable at will need to be put on a platform that's time gated with far more ads there's something wrong with your brain.
Always a treat!
I was watching the video while looking at the JWST picture of the same core of Orion, and I didn’t know you could see proto-stars, and it’s so detailed in the JWST… Really help having a specialist explaining you what you are seeing.
Great timing ;)
Link ?
I see The Breaker, I hit the like! Rik's tunes are just the icing... You always do such a great job of capturing the nuances of amature astronomy: cloud breaks, gear hijinx, the odd "what the hell just happened" moments... Love it!
Cracking video once again! your content inspires me to continue this hobby at all levels despite the terrible few years we've had in the UK (weather-wise) thanks Biscuit man! Although my partner does not appreciate all the ideas your videos put in my head £££
It’s been awful for poor seeing in the UK. I’ve had just enough seeing to test powering my laptop from the battery for the scope to test my ZWO120MM and that was it😢
@@ThoughtandMemory I know, I bought a new mount and scope almost a yr ago and I've pretty much just tested and worked out bugs in that time. It's proper pants!!!
@@cyclingbirmingham7084 I think the clouds and poor seeing come as standard with any purchase for sky watching 🤣
DAMN!!!!!! That was (in my opinion) your best video yet, Astrobiscuit!
Anytime I ever think about the unfortunate fact that there are real people who believe NASA fabricates their photos of space, I ALWAYS immediately think of Astrobiscuit. He's proof that you don't even need to be a part of NASA to replicate the science they show to us, they're not faking their photos lol.
Astrobiscuit has been such a big inspiration for me hes what got me back into astronomy
Just discovered and absolutely love your site. I am an amateur astronomer but sold my Meade Deep Space 10-inch scope way back when. Live in an HOA adult community with way too much light pollution so my ham radio hobby keeps me busy. Still look at stars on a clear night with my Celestron very huge binoculars. Keep up your great work.
Officially, my favorite video on TH-cam - thank you !
This is amazing seeing a other solar system and knowing there is possibly other people there maybe looking at our solar system is just amazing
It’s a very new solar system, he was looking for one being formed not fully formed as the stars would be too bright to pick out planets and all the gas and dust hasn’t formed into planets yet so nothing would be looking at us unfortunately, it would look like our solar system did 4.5 billion years ago when it was first forming
My favourite astrophotographer, your videos are so well made
even the non-telescopic images of Orion are INCREDIBLE, with the both the constellation, nebula, and other stellar objects visible that make you say "WOW !!".
Youre legit the best astro creator on youtube. I always look forward to youe videos.
Same
Your pictures have much better resolution and much better focus than anything I have. However; I too have a "planetary" camera and I think I captured the same solar system you did, but without the fine clarity you got. Awesome shot dude!
fake pictures.
your channel came up randomly and im so glad it did. well interesting!
I am just wondering why neither nasa or the european space agency havent hire this gentlemen and baptize him as the CEO of those two institutions and head guy of RD
Maybe they haven’t heard of him
~19 minutes video felt like a 3 min video... I love this channel so much
Glad, shooting the next two videos now.
Breaking the mould (or should we say biscuit tin) yet again!! Nice one Rory!
I always crack up when I see him do his magic at 0:43 !
Next Astrobiscuit Challange
Finding the dwarf planet Pluto!
Pluto is not hard to find or image. I did it with my 11" SCT HD about 5 years ago at a giant public star party near Detroit, Michigan. Don't expect any detail though ;-) it is tiny.
You continue to astound and amaze me with your photos and videos. It is incredible to get a personal glimpse into the cosmos.
I always love watching, really enjoyable content
Can't wait for the next one.
Thank you guys.
Always look forward to your videos, love your knowledge but mostly your enthusiasm...Keep watching the skies! :)
This was a great one, as usual. Those pictures sure do look amazing!
Loved the synth version of the 3rd movement of Moonlight Sonata
That thumbnail offers one small meme for man but one giant meme for mankind 😂😂! Can't wait to see this one 👍❗
A week ago, I ask my self if it was possible for an amateur astrophotographer to take pictures of another solar system and then this man creates the best video answering my question
Hi From germany :D I just sumbled over this video and subscribed immediately. What a great work!
Since the beginning of this year, I own a 12" dobson and I'm slowly getting better with deep Sky objects, but fotography is not possible with this - and unfortunately I have to rely on quite cheap Equipment.
However, such pictures Show, why this Stuff is so interesting :D
THE MUSIC IS OUT OF THIS WORLD. AWESOME PRODUCTION!
OFF THE SHELF???? YOU REALLY SAY THAT???? edit: I believe that "wobbly atmosphere" is your catchphrase now.
This is propably my most favourite video I've ever seen!
I've watched this so many times and it is still as exciting as seeing it for the first time
Only recently came across your youtube channel. And must say I absolutely love your content. The amount of knowledge, humor and extraordinary views are incredibly well mixed. And the editing (and soundtrack) is also on point. Your love for the universe is captured as it should be and it’s contagious 🤙
My core print was delivered yesterday woohoo. Now I need a frame. 😊
ive always wanted a telescope .man i love the wonders in the sky 🌠🌠
Please get one. You won't regret it.
Great tour mate just love your quick expertise and talk.
Good one this.
He's like Richard Hammond's big brother. So cool and relatable. And super focused on only fun astro stuff. Also, I need that 14" SCT in my life!
Yeah... I see that too.
Richard Hammond trades his driving shoes and helmet for a cup of tea... and a REALLY expensive telescope.
If you happen to have another "off the shelf" telescope collecting dust, feel free to send it my way...
Thanks for the content...
P.S. Seriously, I can post my address. International shipping costs may apply...
Wow such passion!!!
Only found ur channel tonight!
Very interesting and ur passion is catching!!
He sounds like he's from southpark.
Reee?
50 yrs ago I chose the wrong hobby, I like a beer , can't stay awake, the cold hurts the clouds have multiplied and my wife wants a cooked meal!
These vids are an absolute joy to watch. 🪐✨
Fun fact: solar system only applies to our star system as sol is the name of our sun. Any other systems would be the name of their star plus system such as the orion system. Please dont use solar systems when you mean other star systems.
Man. This is so awesome. Production value is great... gimmicky but feels like a pro history/discovery channel production. Really well done
"I cannot wait!" Looks like a long cold night! Been there brother. lol
Amazing shot of Mars! I also expected this to be a photometry transient video. I was pleasantly surprised to see you *actually* captured a dust disk. Awesome work. Congrats!!!
this man is my favorite astrophotographer on yt. he also has great humor and entertaining. love it.
Awesome shots! :D Great work!
Have a good night man,,or day if its day over there,,,you should be getting some more traffic to this site,,,LOVE your work sir,,you are such a BLAST to watch in the afternoon after work,,REAL reality tv,,what ever hes GREAT
This awesome guy is the Steve Irwin of Astronomy!!!
Same kind of passion that radiates naturally from his soul.
Congrats. Absolutely amazing that an amateur can pull of images like this. I am truly stunned.
10 years ago we could only hope for images like that from Hubble. Lets put that into perspective Hubble has cost approx 16 BILLION and you had a kit costing 16 THOUSAND.
Truly amazing, seriously you should be so proud of yourself.
I'm 64, just starting out in 'normal' photography and Astro in particular (The Moon mostly so far) with a 2nd hand Nikon D300 and three lenses that came with it a 17-70mm zoom, a 70-300 zoom and a 500mm mirror. Been watching this channel but this video is just awesome ... OK, my budget was limited to £350 but it's a start!!
Your videos are excellent man! Please don’t stop!🌀
You inspired me so much to get into astronomy myself. Thanks for all that you've done for the community and for creating such great content.
There’s no other way to say it. That is so bloody cool mate.
I know our universe is big so the prospect of having a doppelganger is actually a non-zero possibility, but there is only one Solar system. Ours. Our sun is called Sol, so the system it makes up is called the Solar system. There are plenty of other star systems, but only one Sol. Other than that, I love the upload!
Yes:and no.
‘Sol’ is the Latin for sun, or the sun god (Sol Invictus).
The distinction between our ‘solar system’, and other sun or star systems with planets, is arbitrary, and serves only to make us feel ‘special.’ It’s also from a time when people though the stars were point of light in ‘the firmament’, and then (when we knew better), that our local star was the only one with planets.
We have long accepted that we live in a heliocentric system, but our mindset is mostly geocentric or homocentric.
This is absolutely incredibly beautiful. Words cannot explain how insane these photos really are.
Your passion for this is both inspiring and slightly intimidating. I know you don't mean it that way, but I want to be this enthusiastic about stargazing. I just don't think I have the energy or time. Absolutely smashing to see how much you enjoy this though. Keep on watching! I am planning to get an entry-level telescope soonish (and then perhaps let it sit in the corner gathering dust while I focus on one of my other million hobbies).
The Universe is just amazing.
Incredible stuff.
Very true
I love that sir Patrick Moore level of enthusiasm.
Great to see you back 🙂 That was so exciting !!!
You remind me of somebody that would be in a Star Trek episode where they would go back in time because you were supposed to invent something..lol
Yeah baby !
When I’m dreaming I look at those 14” mead & celestron
Someone told me if I was gonna spend that much the 11” is just as good
I go up to my 4800’ spot to view thru my 8”
It’s a popular spot but I’ve never seen a 14”
I’m envious of you brother 👍🏻
My favorite channel. I identify with Astro Biscuit. "JUST WORK!!!" 😂
It really brought it home when you said it's taken us 40 years to end up here...
Take into account for airmass and turbulent atmosphere you get one hell of a mess in photometry but damn good work! you make us Exoplanet amateur researchers proud!
I truly miss your regular uploads...
...BUT it makes me truly Appreciate them all the more when you do upload
I wish you would post more content,i love it.
You guys give him $ to go on a trip, but he can't give you a free picture... 🤣
I'm madd, MAAADDD, I tell you. Why are the neighbors coming this way with torches and pitchforks?
Kidding . . . . Really good start. Good science. Nice job Biscuit.
An outstanding video and fine work. Did anyone else see the zombie face in the dust cloud at 13.40 onwards ? Spooky !!!
My guy pulls out a telescope, plays drum and Bass. You are my hero tonight.
This video was worth the wait, as usual.
I dont know why you have popped up in my feed as i'm generally not really interested in astronomy.
Loved watching what you achieved . Well done my man
These videos are so much fun and really have made me more interested in astrophotography! love the enthusiasm and pace of the video and love Riktenstein’s banging music with it! What are we due the Canaries video?? can’t wait to see it!
I've unknowingly imaged that solar system!!! My first DSO imaging attempt was the Trapezium using my 6" Dob with a DIY tracking mount.
Your energy is so communicative. Thank you for being as bright as a star!
Just discovered this channel today! Love this guy. He's like the love-child between Brian Cox and Richard Hammond (of Top Gear fame). Fantastic content, fantastically delivered and produced. Well done!!
I have been following you for years. Thanks, i learn a lot and its also fun. Greetings from the island ofrece lanzarote
nice video mate, the production on this one is awsome
I am an astronomer too and I use makistov generally for their portability however I can honestly say that you explanation of the moon mountain inside creater comparing a cup of coffe milk cappuccino or whatever was awesome...just simply and perfectly rapr3sents the phenomenon and you were able to let everybody understand the nature of the phenomenon with so simply analogy I was and am amazed and I understood your genius well spent studying those phenomenon. You deserve to be an observatory instructor. I AM AS AN HOBBYIST BUT you are really on an other planet in the way you explain everything for everyone not just the lighted minds
So kind thank you
I just got my first astronomical telescope and I can't wait to learn how to use it. Been camping in the Yorkshire dales this weekend and saw the clearest sky of my life it was mesmerising I could see the haze of what I assumed to be the milky way which was awesome.
That final image is just stunning! I can't wait for the Canaries video
definitely my favorite astrophotographer!
Amazing foto its mind-boggling, keep up the good work🙂
Your energy makes Spence even more exciting to learn about
I was waiting for this video like a child for Christmas😂
i subscribed this channel among first 10k followers. Advertised the channel in fb groups when he had target of 50k i think. Its always exciting to see his videos.
Glad you are still with us for the ride. We are filming two videos right now in Tenerife. Hopefully these will be epic. Fingers crossed. A lot of things have already gone wrong so it should be good to watch.
@@Riktenstein 🤞🏼
As a young and dumb kid I used to sell Celestron telescopes at the Nature Company with little more knowledge than a couple Planetary Science and Astronomy college courses and a Celestron rep course. Being a math-flunk, I moved on to other things. I am so amazed at how far Celestron and amateur astronomy has come in the 25 years since.
Cool content, awesome visuals. You're bringing the stars down to earth, thanks!
Come out to WA and you’ll be amazed what a really dark night sky is like. First trip into the outback as a teen I was speechless being able to see by the star filled sky alone, didn’t think it was possible.
Love this sort of stuff, and would to spend a night looking for solar systems. Thanks for sharing!
