Shurshot....yes your correct this is amateur astronomy but some amateur astronomers have access to to large telescopes in observatories besides having their own 8" to 14". The weather where i am is always cloudy at nights so no luck for me trying to capture the pillars of creation with my 9.25" celestron ☺ clear skies my friends 👍
Great video, love the images and it is great that amateurs can do this. One quibble, I would not call a 17in telescope with a tracking mount and hydrogen alpha filters modest equipment. That is high end amateur gear.
this is cool and informative, thx, but i have a feeling that the words chosen for describing the accessibility of getting these images, like "off the shelf", "available to the amateur" or "modest", were very very "generous".
can you elaborate on that my friend? are you saying there is a lot more going on behind the scenes than meets the eye? are these images digitally enhanced?
Yes they can 🤩! I have a 6'' SC-telescope and use my daily dslr behind it to take the pictures and even on a ten second single exposure you get a glimpse of them! But of course stacking many pictures and taking longer exposures result in much more detail and so even I could make some well visible - and I loved it!
They're already gone for 6000 years, meaning they'll be no longer visible after 500-1000 years, since the distance is 6500-7000 lightyears. (Sorry for late reaction 😅)
i blame the government, this channel should have way more viewers and there should be way more people interested in space science, it's because the school don't teach space and therefore kids never grow a love for space.
@@FlipzPlayz sorry I should have said click on my pics to see them. Here is a link to one of my videos th-cam.com/video/1FJTGvPZaDU/w-d-xo.html My latest video th-cam.com/video/u-StujJjU7s/w-d-xo.html
Nice video and information, but the commentary sounds like it's echoing from a cave or a pit and is very hard to make out the words. Please fix the sound because it's ruining an otherwise great video!
@@msroper5287 With a camera, QSI 683 CCD, it will pick it up, I know because I've done it. Don't be so mean, my comment wasn't usless, I do astrophotography, you can pick a lot up with an 81mm refractor with cameras, the naked eye can't see much, and when it does its in black and white, pretty weird and fascinating actually.
@@BNSFGuy4723 That "likely the result of a supernova" is also an excellent proof for the existence of a Creator.

Science help me to convert from atheism to faith.
Οριζόντιος Κατακόρυφος Believe what you’re gonna believe. It’s your choice and your right as a human being on this Earth. I may not agree with you, but meh Personally, I’ve read the Bible and there’s nothing in there that goes with science but that’s just me *shrug*
@@BNSFGuy4723 Of course. When I wanted to learn about electromagnetism I was reading Coulomb, Faraday, Maxwell. When I wanted to learn about mechanics I was reading Newton, Joule etc.. In Bible, we have 76 books (49 Old Testament and 27 New Testament), all were written from 12th cent. B.C, until 1st cent. A.C, and of course there is noone page about science. Science in the known organized form was beggining after 16th cent A.C. But that's not my point. When I wrote about the "Bible of Cosmos and nature", I had something else in my mind. But, never mind, thats ok, forget it.
It's just a poetic name. Because stars are created within those pillars by natural processes. Like smoke is created from a fire, doesn't mean there's a "creator" in that fire.
Did ihear 17 inch?? This is amateur equipment????
I will try and get pics with my 8 inch.
Wish me luck.
8 inch will do very well too.

Were you successful?
@@deepastronomy The Result?
4 years still waiting for the results lol

Yeah, but the kiddies love it 🤪
Great video! But is it me or does your audio recording hold a lot of bass. low freqs?
17 inch amateur telescope for our backyard? I have only balcony in our apartment which can not employ any telescope larger than 8 inch I believe. :(
Astronomers invented chain saws. Cut back some roof line
3:48 - Tony, just exactly where is Blanders, CA? Can’t find it on Google Maps. Thanks.
Landers, CA.
Calming video. Soft voice and otherwordly music
Sure is my friend ☺
One question, can I see the eagle nebula with a Celestron Nexstar 130 slt?
Great video my friend ☺👍:)
Pillars of creation is my favorite space picture

can you elaborate on that my friend? are you saying there is a lot more going on behind the scenes than meets the eye? are these images digitally enhanced?
no, i'm just saying it's still relatively hard for normal to people to get these images. @@heydude7568
Cheers Tony,great info mate.
Amazing result!
But what does a long exposure image of that region taken without any filters look like... can the PoC still be seen?

But of course stacking many pictures and taking longer exposures result in much more detail and so even I could make some well visible - and I loved it!
17 inch?!?!!??! That's absolutely crazy! How do you track with such a monster
I love these videos, keep it up tony
Me too ☺
Wow!! So amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Sure is amazing ☺
Outstanding! Is it true that the Pillars of Creation are likely no longer there due to stellar winds?
We'll have to wait 6,500 years to know for sure :)
They're already gone for 6000 years, meaning they'll be no longer visible after 500-1000 years, since the distance is 6500-7000 lightyears. (Sorry for late reaction 😅)
Hi Tony. 😁
Where you been?
Nice!!!(Thank You!)
17" Telescope? Ok might take some time to save up. SBIG 16803 CCD Camera. Oh only $11,600?
Nice video! Now for a con: I wouldn't call a 17" Dobby amateur equipment... quite expensive
My 70mm astromaster traveler telescope is not afraid
i blame the government, this channel should have way more viewers and there should be way more people interested in space science, it's because the school don't teach space and therefore kids never grow a love for space.
Not entirely true to blame the government. Schools do teach Astronomy like we do at our school ☺ please watch some of videos when you have time
Notts boy24 some of what videos

sense when have schols not taught space?
@@Dimentio since about 2010
I can photograph it with an 80mm refractor ...easy and not a big deal.

It’s been 5 years, do yall think they are still there.
I’m joking. 😅
81mm refractor can get it

Silicon II? Come on, S stands for Sulfur
Of course that's correct. I misspoke and didn't catch the mistake in editing. Thanks for pointing it out.
Creation prooves the existence of a Creator.

No... The pillars of creation is a nebula that was likely the result of a supernova some 2 million years ago

Quick answer: NOPE, you can't!
