- In This Video I Show You A Comparison Between The Greatest Space Telescope Ever, My Universities $32,000 Telescope and my very own Telescope! 🌠🌟💫
I've owned personally a great number of amateur telescopes which have allowed me to image a surprisingly large amount of the cosmos.😮
The key to capturing as much of our universe as possible is to have a big telescope mirror and a lot of time.🔭
Either one of these will allow you to produce images of the same wonders that the Hubble Space Telescope has been imaging for the past 30 years! 🌌
However, you don't necessarily need a telescope to get into astrophotography, in fact, some of my favourite images were the ones I took using just my $200 Canon 1000D DSLR. 📷

He teaches about science better than my school teachers,clicks awesome pics of space stuff,plays football well,etc. but is no one gonna talk about his editing skills???Just look at his videos,bruh!!His videos are one of the best edited videos I have seen on youtube!
Thank you, this is very kind of you to say! 😊😁🙏
I know... I have been saying this for months... the editing level is just... wow... That too in this type of field... ✨✨✨
I agree with you, the editing is best 🌟🌟🌟✨🌠
@@SonuSharma-hb1ox Yeah,his editing makes his content more eye pleasing✨✨.
@@ajeethraja3274 Yeah,bruh! His editing is awesome.👌👌
I can hear the amount of passion you have for astronomy every time you talk about the universe, as an amateur astronomer it makes me super happy.

I'm 58 years old. I still have my 3 inch refractor which I have had since I was 12. Clearly, I have had a lot of life over those years but I will never forget first seeing the seven sisters, Orions' nebula, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn with their visible moons and of course Andromeda. I could go on but just to say it's wonderful that Damon is as inspired as I was as a youngster and is pursuing his dreams, with all the knew tools available. With his engaging presentation skills, I wonder if we have the next Brian Cox here? I live in an area with a lot of light pollution. But I think I will unpack my telescope and see what I can in 2021. And maybe.....give myself a long overdue telescope upgrade!! Keep up the good work Damon and we wish you well.
Thank you very much, Daniela! 😁👍
Thank you very much, Daniela! 😁👍
It’s all in the firmament.
Hello Damon, I am an 11 year old who adores space and I want to be an astronomer when I grow up and your video is just so well done and mind blowing. This video is inspiring me to follow my dream no matter what I have. keep up the great work.
You just go for it! Discover new things! The world needs you!
Shoot for the stars kid, wish u luck :)
Bro, I was just like you when I was younger, I adore astronomy as well!
Man how I wish videos like these existed when I grew up. When I was a kid I always wanted to be an astronomer but the lack of easily available visual content about it made me slowly forget my dream and kill that passion in me cause other things in life distracted me. Now I'm grown up with a completely different path in life as a game designer with astronomy as a passion that I never explored other than watching content about it every single day since content on it became available on platforms like TH-cam. Keep remembering your dream and pursue it! I'm rooting for you to become an astronomer.
My man, chase the things you aspire to be, don't stop no matter what hardships you encounter in your journeys.
This stuff is amazing, just wish all the light pollution would settle down so I could see things.
Go outside of town or city and you can easily see em without all the light pollution
Move somewhere that isn't choked by pollution and deforestation.
There is ALOT of light pollution in the place where I live and I also have mild myopia :/
@@thegatorhator6822 Easy to say xD Not so easy to do :P But yes eventually that is my plan!
me too, I live smack dab in the middle of Los Angeles, and it takes at most 1 hour 30 minutes to exit the city, and probably a lot more if I want to get away from the light pollution.
The fact that there could be entire planets with civilizations of their own looking at Earth (or, what Earth was like millions or billions of years ago) gives me chills. And also that we may just be looking back at them, at what their planet was like millions or billions of years ago.
You never see anything in the present... only the past which we comprehend as “present”

@@bluezero8557 but light isnt
Could you imagine an alien civilisation with their telescopes seeing the earth when dinosaurs still roamed it?
The biggest talent that one can have is to explain powerful concepts in a simple way. In just under 15 mins, you explained by showing us what Nebula, Supernova, Galaxies are.... something which I have read about many times, but seeing it and experiencing it through your narration is inspiring. It is my dream to retire back to my village in future and observe the stars....with zero light pollution. So thank you for showing the way
Dude the way you break things down for an absolute newbie to understand is so magical. Thank you so much
I just want to mention that you can buy a pre-owned version of the Canon 1000d camera I used in this video for as little as $100. 📷
But please be aware that there are plenty of cameras that have much better imaging capabilities than the Canon 1000d, it just so happened to be the only camera I had at the time so I spent a lot of time imaging with it, there really isn't anything special about it!
😅
If you want to see what a real special camera looks like, then check out the SONY A7S ii, this is the camera I have used to film 95% of Astronomical, it has amazing low light capabilities. 😁👍
Don't know what u mean, but it looks like its technical. The most proud photo I took is with my old Samsung j3. It was a picture of the moon, Jupiter and Saturn near each other.
@@dilipadithya They seemed to be little dots in the great dark viscinty of space I think so !!
@@dilipadithya Sounds great! I'd love to see your photo! 🪐
@@ayushjaiswal. yes, especially with a phone that old.
Salute to your efforts ❤️!
Video was amazing 💙✨☄️
Thank you for the comparison, Damon! I've decided I'm going to go for the $1B telescope, I feel like the extra resolution will suit my needs better.
To be honest, I think I'll go for the Hubble telescope.
@@wasifzakwan8722 I think investing in the James Webb telescope is a better option
@@wasifzakwan8722 I think I'll purchase 2 of those for me and my dad.
Underrated comment. Only one that actually made me exhale air from my nostril, well done.
Give me 800$ one lol, that's pretty better for me.and well expensive.
I came here for the comparison but was struck in amazement with the knowledge he gives about his topic.
Great video Damon! You really did a great job describing the emotions that every astronomer or astrophotographer experience, by looking and understanding the nightsky, and it's wonders.
I'm an amateur astriphotographer from Lima, Perú. 8 years ago, I bought my first telescope. It was a Celestron Nexstar 6. That little guy showed me almost every planet of the solar system, and unforgettable views of deepsky objects, like M42, M31, Omega Centauri and 47 Tuc clusters, etc!
Literally, a time machine as you perfectly described.
It’s crazy. I feel like being interested in the universe and opening up your mind to space and time really does shrink any problems you have in your life. People say as a person I am laid back and I think a lot of that is to do with that fact.
👏
"It is the highest resolution detail ever taken"
My phone streaming it in less than 144p: Interesting.
lol XD
Amazing video Damon! The amount of editing I can see is just so unpredictable I learnt some new things and how do you find these amazing sights? I’ve always been obsessed with science and space, this just made me more obsessed with it! If you bought a really good telescope where would it be because this persuaded me to buy a telescope. I’m asking you because your amazing at finding things.
i remember a few months ago seeing pleiades in the night sky with my eye and i thought it looked amazing, even through all the light pollution i could just see it and when i looked it up and saw images of it i was blown away, whenever i looked at it after that i could see it better and realised how awesome it was. My space passion recently has spiked again and i think i may buy a telescope or a camera to capture these beautiful wonders of the universe
I'm reading TONS of books about these topics and your way of explaining concepts that are not always easy to grasp, is really really good 👏
Thank you very much! 👍
Dude right!!!!
Great video man. I can tell this took a long time and effort to make. Your passion for space really shows. I have a bit of a space obsession as well. Maybe one day I'll bite the bullet and grab a 1k telescope and just start going at taking pics!
👍🏿
Maybe a comparison of the new telescope vs the hubble telescope
Thank you! I hope you do! 😄
@@DamonScotting Hey I really loved this video it’s cool to see that even after a year you reply to comments!

Hey man, keep up the good work! Love the mysteries of the universe, the vast deep endlessness, sends the mind into overdrive!
He has awe in his voice as he's decribing the cosmos, something which anyone with an active imagination must feel on looking up on a dark, clear night at our amazing universe, so beautiful.
Man I'm speechless. Your talent is one of it's kind and the way you tell is so mesmerizing. Loved it man, sometimes TH-cam does recommend gem videos
yeah bruh
Agreed
@Creativetiy's Telling a story looking Directly into the camera and engaging your viewers is an work of art. I don't know if it's talent but it is worth something
At 4:46 you can just see how impressed and satisfied he looks. It's awesome to see so much excitement over space like that, this dude enjoys life and I dig it
My friend and I talked about space, galaxies, stars and the likes a few hours ago. I thought how wonderful would it be to see it up close through a telescope. I'm so glad I found your video. the feeling of wanting to do something new and exciting just hit me. You have explained everything clearly. Hope to see more videos of you. What can you recommend for me to start with? I never even owned a binocular before.
hi
Just found your channel and this is my first video of yours to watch and it was really great.
Subscribed and will be tuning in for more.
6:20
That's what she said!
I actually watched this all the way through. That’s how well and interesting of a job this guy did. He explains it clearly and calmly but with passion. New subscriber here ✋🏽
Man you deserve so much more attention and praise. I think I’ve found my new favorite hobby. I still love guitar but this Celestron 80AZ I’ve found has really sparked something. I’m about to get on eBay and buy a bunch of astronomy books so I know what to look for, when, where, and what it is. Any suggestions on that lmk.
This video actually really helped me get an idea of what images I could actually see based on the telescope
What an inspiration you r Damon for us .. specially me who loves astronomy..

That was so captivating, spoken and taught so well, I hope to see more videos like this one! Thanks Damon!
Thank you very much, Liam! 👍
I can’t thank you enough for this video. Well done and very much appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and in the language very easy to understand.
This is one of the most incredible videos I’ve watched about astrophotography, and I’ve watched a lot. Despite me knowing most of the things you were saying, it still brought tears to my eyes. The universe is beautiful, and it’s people like you who allow us to see it in ways we never thought possible. Keep at it.
@Ali Khan "We do not really know how the universe was created, therefor it was god."
Damn, the ignorance is real.
@Ali Khan Define "nothing".
Also, what? Do you know any atheists saying it came from NOTHING? Imagine thinking it's either God or nothing. No inbetween. Unbelievable how narrow some people are
@@dego1d530 They and their pedophile God
@Ali Khan Do you realize the immense irony of your comment? I am agnostic and any serious agnostic will tell you the same answer: "We don't know." It's impossible to know what came before the big bang, what the true "beginning" of our universe was. That is why we choose to be agnostic.
Meanwhile think about YOUR perspective. There are actual believers like yourself who see the immense complexity and wonders of the universe, and are just like "YEP, WOOOW holy shit this universe is so AMAZINGGG IM CUMMING!! INFACT this is indisputable proof that [insert specific deity name] is the ONE TRUE GOD!!! OMG
Likes count after my like is 101. Shagun for you lol
That "twist" at the end of you revealing that you were the photographer of a particular picture was awesome. I remember seeing that picture before a good number of times.
Awesome work, and yes, you make a rather difficult subject for most to comprehend (astronomy) seem more relative and understood. Yes sir. Liked, Subscribed & Commented!
This video teached me something school failed to do for couple of years. Thank you for showing this.
Thanks for this video, man! I have been attempting to find a good scope for a couple years, but have never pulled the trigger on getting one simply because I didn’t know just how well I’d see anything. I knew it wouldn’t be anything like Hubble, but didn’t want to end up only being able to see craters on the moon. Thanks again!
Firstly, I can't thank you enough for the actual images, shown so realistically and second for ending my search. I've seen so many videos trying to visualize what I could see with a telescope. Not one of the 100s of content out there, showed an exact picture and I'm thankful once again for that. I share the same passion or maybe more, for astronomy. Keep gazing mate.
Brilliant video and the way you explain things is fantastic. Keep it up 👍🏻
I can't wait to see the first images from the James Webb, everyone's mind will be blown away. Not just from the size of it, but from how much the technology has changed with cameras, etc.
Absolutely top notch professional grade TH-cam content! Definitely on par with let's say a discovery channel program. Great job man, keep 'em coming
Thank you very much! 👍
Hi Damon, as someone who watches Astronomical Videos and Channels on the Internet almost every day for years, this was the first time I have come across your site. I have to say that I was immediatly, Impressed by your enthusiasm, and Passion of the subject as well as the presentation etc of it all. I loved how well you explained things, which im sure will inspire younger Budding Astronomers of the future. I liked it that you explained it all, without all the Fancy, often Silly Imagery and Gimmiks, also No Loud overpowering Music where you often cannot even hear whats being said. So thank you for just keeping it simple, Please Please Please keep it just as it is Simple, Explanatory and Educational. I immediatley Subscribed and Liked and will now regularly watch your Channel from now on. Thanks once again and wish you all the best with your Channel.
Thank you very much! This means a lot! 😊🙏
Can we just appreciate the hard work damon scotting puts in his videos you are the person that makes maths,astronomy etc better and funner to learn keep up the great work👏
The first time I've seen one of your videos ,subscribed straight away ,amazing work ,thank you sir !
Wow, this was perfectly edited. Really nice how you put it all together and the way you made pretty complex subjects, easy to comprehend. Will use parts of this in education for my students.
Regards from science teacher in primary school. ..
I'll never forget the time I saw a pinwheel lookin like galaxy with my own eyes through one of my buddy's telescopes. It was surreal. That and seeing Saturn's ring, again with my own eyes was amazing! I've always been fascinated with science and space, but seeing those things in person through a telescope is something else!!
wow! you educated us or perhaps me at the least in such a way which most of these astronomical based youtubers or books don't even. THANK YOU!
Thank you very much! 👍
I really enjoyed your video that was really cool man especially the Part about the globular cluster(HERCULES).
Great vlog. Astronomy is so interesting and yes it’s so hard to comprehend the time and distance of objects in our universe. Mind boggles 🤯
I honestly dont care about this kind of stuff, but seeing someone so passionate about something just kept me watching.
You go man!
I don’t say that often but that channel is amazing! For me who thinks astronomy is really interesting this channel is perfect thanks! ❤️🌙
This video is so great I had tears while watching damn. Thanks, man for this video!
This video is unbelievable, as a physicist it still fascinates me every night when I look into the sky. This video captures the awe when you take the time to look up.
Thank you
I was so impressed with how well this was done!!! Really great, thanks man :)
That was one great video. Your presentation was clear, logical, informative and really draws the viewer in. You really have a gift for communication.
Thank you very much! 👍
More than anything else I love how passionate you are about astronomy! ❤️
Astornomy in itself is always intriguing but the way you flow information with spot on edits has made me a subscriber 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you 🙌
Great video man!! The way you presented it.. I can feel your passion and it's refreshing 🤜🤛
Greetings from France^^
This video is one of the best videos I've ever seen, this taught me a lot about astrophotography!
I looked through my first telescope (8" dobsonian) in early 2020 and at 60 years old it was the first time I used a telescope able to see Jupiter and it's moons close up and clear. Since then I started deep sky imaging with an EQ mount, refractor telescope and a lot of electronics and have created many images of deep space objects and what a rush to see these these things... Great video....
Lovely video! Your presentation is crisp, interesting and inspirational. I also realise how patient one must be to be chasing these millions of tiny dots of light out in the cold! All this cosmic grandeur makes one very humble. Thanks again for your informational video!
Thank you! 😊
Nice 1 Damon. I enjoyed the content of your review, you made it easy and understandable.
Really good presentation skills for a young lad. Stick with what you love and keep up the documentaries.
I did astronomy in the final 2 years of secondary school and it is quite possibly the best time of my life. I would sit out in the garden with a beer on the weekends and just watch the stars for hours (usually freezing cold) but it's so so unfathomably amazing that more people should appreciate it.
Nice
You get Astronomy in High School? Where?

Hey man, this video is pretty well edited if you produced it on your own. I will check your channel to see if you have tutorials for taking pictures of the stars. You explain thing really well. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate this video for it's amazing imagery, the level of talent you have for putting this video together the way you did I don't have the words to explain. Thank you
I’ve just seen this in my recommended. This was a really informative and very well executed video. Beautifully explained. I’ve just subscribed
Thank you! 😊
Largest scopes I have ready access to are 12" in aperture, LX200 and a Skywatcher Dobsonian.
Amazing stuff out there.
I had to like, and subscribe. you have to keep providing content. thank you
This is hands down the best video I have ever watched on this topic. You made it so easy to understand! I feel so happy that I may be able to produce my own astrophotography that I feel like I'm going to crawl out of my skin. 😂 😍
It feels so good to learn and have things broken down so well. I have bad ADD and this was so engaging for me and I learned so much about the process of the photography of stars and systems. I always wondered. I definitely would love to go back to school and study this
I watch youtube every day, often 2-4 hours at the least.
This is by far the most exciting video i've seen in a long time.
I dream of doing what you do
Thank you, Gunther!
Good looking young man makes science look kool😎, he took something complicated and simplified it so i could understand it, Great Work!!👍👍

Such a informative video… learned many new things .
Love the video. Really informative and really, really well narrated and shot. Good stuff overall :D
It is a real delight to see how this young scientist enjoys watching the stars and how much love he puts in his quest to understand the mysteries of space. But must of all, thank you for sharing these wonders with us.
Thank you! 😊
Awesome video, complete with interesting narration. You are living the dream with your telescopes not available to us. Thanks for the video!
Your Dob needs a Teldrad !
LOL, great video though, instant subscriber.
This really does a great job of conveying what these objects look like with a 10 or 12 inch telescope !
I had absolutely no interest in telescopes whatsoever until I watched this video. You sir are a very good educator, so easy to listen to and the information just sticks far better than other educators I have listened to. Excellent video.
Thank you very much! 👍
@@DamonScotting No problem mate, hope you had a good xmas and a happy new year!!! Love from south wales.
I have a Celestron Nexstar 8se. What a blast! This is my first scope and I would have preferred to keep it forever. By dumb luck I got it right before hurricane Sandy. That storm left my area without power for 6 weeks. No power means no street lights or any light pollution. The sky was spectacular. Unfortunately it had since fell and broke into quite a few pieces. The experience was so incredible I cannot wait to get another one
To anyone that's on the fence on thinking if they should buy one... BUY ONE ! So incredible!!!
Really great video. Thanks for putting this together. You have a gift.
Truly fascinating. Why teachers at school couldn't be this passionate with their subject delivery.
Thank you so much for that awesome video. The shots you took were gorgeous and breathtaking. I will be joining your channel because I have questions to ask you.
💪🏾Your Channel will now grow substantially💪🏾
I love how passionate you are 😊
It's amazing how you can see the night sky with the naked eye. As someone who lives in a very light populated country with tropical weather, such a sight is a dream. When I see pictures of the night sky, I feel like it's unbelievable. I've always been wondering about how real are the pictures or videos people show. The best way to compare is if someone takes a video with their phone, since I have a phone too, so I can compare the difference.
Great video dude 🤙 thanks for sharing the knowledge
By his teaching skills he doesn’t sound like an amateur at all. Bravo!
Thank you very much! 👍
6:00 seeing that made my heart skip a beat. Seriously so beautiful and terrifying
this channel is one of the best ive ever seen 🤩
This guys passion is really what made me love this video. So cool.
You explained this so well. Solid work
I see a future scientist/narrator for the likes of NASA and Discovery Channel. Even though I have known most of the things you said here, you have presented the same knowledge differently from others in a more comprehensive and understandable way, in the similar way I came to understand it from multiple sources.
I wish you great and lasting success in science and life!
Greetings and best wishes from Bosnia!
(By the way, try dressing multiple layers of clothing if it's cold outside. Many people that I know shy away from it, but it works and keeps me from catching a cold even in a colder environment, while others around me are getting sick.)
Great video. Very well done. Thanks for posting it!
