    I found that even with a 3 or 4 inch telescope, saturn and jupiter look amazing with your eye through the scope. There is something that is more 3 dimensional about seeing with your eye. You clearly get a sense of the planets floating in the blackness of space which you dont get with even the best photo. They may look tiny but that direct connection of your eye with a planet clearly floating in space has a much bigger effect than simply seeing few details on the surface.

    What these types of videos frequently fail to emphasize is the thrill of seeing these sights with your own eyes. Sure, it might not be as crisp and colorful as a Hubble image, but you are actually seeing the real thing. Those photons came right from Saturn, or the Orion Nebula, or a whole galaxy millions of light years away, only to enter your eyes and trigger your little optic nerves! Pretty freaking amazing.

    • @CitizenMio
      @CitizenMio 3 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      @@daylinhesford3116 If mobility is not a concern, get the biggest dobsonian you can afford while leaving enough for you to buy some quality eyepieces to go with it. Because astronomy basically comes down to gathering faint light from far away. The bigger the bucket, the more light you can gather, so aperture is king. Dobsonians are the best bang for your buck in that regard, although you will naturally get some compromises with that.
      - Number one being that they are huge and seriously heavy. The best telescope is the one that you use, so if your local viewing conditions suck and you don't want to drag that log all over the place, get something more compact and portable.
      - Dobsonians have sturdy low cost mounts (they're actually newtonians on a simple alt-azimuth mount). That makes them instinctively easy to use from the start, but it does make tracking harder vs an equatorial mount.
      -They mostly don't come with any auto tracking to save on initial cost, but there are kits to convert them. Even to make them go-to or a bit of astrophotography, though they really aren't great for that.
      - Being huge they are excellent at gathering faint light from distant nebulas and galaxies, so if you live in an area with low light pollution definitely get one as there is so much more amazing stuff out there than just the already amazing planets.
      - They aren't necessarily the best for planets, because something like jupiter is already insanely bright on it's own. And with tracking being slightly more cumbersome by default a stable view can be bit tricky. But, having a huge bucket is always advantageous and you're more likely to pick up finer details.
      - Unlike smaller equally priced lens telescopes they don't suffer from colour distortions. To get rid of those requires either an insanely more expensive telescope, or a much much smaller one.
      Hope this helps you get started, but do check out other beginner astronomy videos and sites. :)
      And remember, astronomy isn't an industry where any one company can magically cram some high tech in a tiny tube and win the cake. All of them are bound to the same rules of physics. So it's always a compromise between the size and weight of the tube, the cost of lenses and mirrors and the amount of comfort and extras you want.
      Personally love looking at Saturns rings and moons through mine or even just "flying" over the mountains and craters of a crescent moon.

      Porl Oh. Correct. Saturn and Jupiter deliver the emotional expectation one has when they assemble their first 144mm x 900mm starter reflector. Jupiter is my favorite solar system observation, mostly due to the four visible moons and the sharp atmospheric bands plus bright color. Saturn is always my just before going in view due to its sublime nature.
      This is the month for Mars. Go look. What was a tiny spec last year is now as big in the lens as Saturn. You see some detail. Bets time in North America this month around midnight to 2am. You should catch Mars, Jupiter and Saturn all at once in the same SE sky.

Last time I verified, they have all been composites and photoshopped creations. A billiards pool table has spheres moving around a plane. Ultimately, earth, you've never seen it with your own eyes so what ever you want to communicate is still your opinion and belief of what earth is, To the side pointing out the super nasa scientists imagery along with their fallacious figures of why earth is a giant ball and your upside down hurtling through space at a billion miles a year and their claiming of it to be real and true just because they propagate it to be real and true. Just beacuse They have funding to propagate it to be real and true. So after thousands of years Aries constellation has remained the same. No parallax. So the earth is suppose to be moving. Yeah right. It's still your belief. So its silly to attack others, who question, when yourself is still regurgitating mainstream information who genuinely hasn't even a got fucking clue.

At one of these outings you will have a chance to look through all shapes and sizes of telescope to see for yourself these differences in size.

      That's perfectly normal and common. I took an astronomy class in college as an elective because I'm a space nerd.

The potential quality of the image didn't even enter my mind because my own eyes had never seen it that close before. It was amazing, astounding! Photos are beautiful, but there's something special about experiencing a planetary body visually yourself and you're both here at the same time, all the time, and never pay much attention to the other.
      Sadly, very few people have taken or been given the opportunity to see through scopes a few steps beyond amateur to see what you can really catch. People that won't own a scope, but might have a look at your while you're out if you invite them over to take a look.

    I have a small book from the "Golden Guide" series. Dated about 1962?
    It shows images of what the planets should look like in the "average backyard" telescope.
    So, I was not surprised at my first attempt with a 6 inch Newtonian.
    Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus were all pretty much as expected.
    Once when viewing Venus (in full daylight) after sunrise, my neighbors came over to inquiry about "What" I was looking at in a clear, blue sky. When they saw the delightful "Cresent" of Venus, they all gasped! These were University "Educated" 30-something adults! And they must have all just slept through 6th grade Science class! None expected that Venus would show "Phases", like the moon!
    OH WELL!
    I literally had to draw some pictures on my note pad to "explain" why it looked that way!
    Jeez!!!

    I’ll never forget how utterly disappointed I was when I first saw Saturn through my beginner level refractor telescope in the 1990s.
    I expected to see images similar to what the Hubble was sending back (after the fix). 🙁
    Fortunately, being much older now, I realize how beautiful the ringed planet still looks through that same telescope. 😊

    To be honest: I'm still excited when I see Saturn's rings with my telescope. Currently they are tilted, so nicely visible, but a while back you could see them exactly from the side, as a thin stripe through a ball.
    To see it with your own eyes, as limited as my telescope is, is so much more exciting as seeing a picture in a book.

    Really good video, especially for beginners who want to know what to expect when getting their first telescope. Mine is a 76/700 so the planets are much more difficult to see, but thankfully I did a lot of research before buying and I knew what to expect, so not only was I not disappointed, but I'm actually pretty impressed. Oh, and even with a small telescope, the Moon looks GORGEOUS! Seriously, once I saw the craters with my own eyes for the first time, I couldn't see the Moon in the sky the same way ever again. The photos don't do it justice in my opinion, seeing through a telescope is an entirely different experience I think. :-)
