Definitely hard to see in the city! I was using the new filter and set up trying to photograph this area of the sky. My eyes weren’t able to pick out enough stars, but the camera caught at least some.
I’m so glad I found your channel. I’ve been looking for stargazing resources and none really compare to the plethora of knowledge you have assembled here. And in advance, congrats on hitting a million channel views.
Hercules is definitely a tough one to find. I usually look for Vega/Lyra and then find the head of Draco. I think of Hercules as stepping on Draco's head, so then I can start to trace his "knee" and "body". I will look for the c-shaped Corona Borealis too next time! Thanks for the wonderful content!
M13 is stunning, and famous (because it's easy to find- in line with the "top" of the keystone, a third of the way from the left). M92 is more difficult to locate, but worth it. It's to the north (left) of the keystone, just less than a right triangle from the bottom left star. In my opinion, it's a prettier cluster than M13. I visit each (and M11, M4, and other objects) while waiting for Sagittarius to rise above the horizon this time of year for all those amazing targets. ....I'm here getting familiar with the extended layout of stars other than the keystone. I want to find the cluster of galaxies in Hercules, over toward Corona Borealis. It's going to be a challenge, since the brightest is magnitude 10 or so, and I only have an 8" dobsonian (for now!). I'm still going to try! Thanks for your video.
In an article about an upcoming nova in Corona Borealis the author says to “find Hercules.” So I think it’s funny that this video seems to say, “ to find Hercules look for Corona Borealis.”
Hi Janine! I just found your channel the other day and have found it super interesting and instructive. I am very interested in getting started in binocular astronomy as a hobby. I was wondering if you could do a video on the Sagittarius constellation and the "Wow!" signal. I live close to The Ohio State University and used to drive past the radio astronomy array and always thought it was so cool. Thanks, Janine!
I do have a video on Sagittarius. th-cam.com/video/bIhceKZDOF4/w-d-xo.html I will probably do another one just because that is an old video. I have not heard of the 'Wow" signal, so I will add this to my list. Thanks for the recommendation.
Hello. I use the TH-cam audio library for my music since most of it is royalty free. It took me a while to find this track. The song in this video is called Interplanetary Alignment from NoMBe.
I'm bored of the old constellation names. If the US can re-name the Plough, 'The Big Dipper', why can't we re-name many more? I submit a replacement for Hercules; 'Rocky' from Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir. Who's with me?

Ty so much for uploading Hercules I was waiting for this! Keep up the good work!
Love the mythology along with the astronomy!

this constellation is challenging for me to see, but your channel has helped :)

Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you found this channel.
Roman Empire: Hey Greece can I copy your homework?
Greece: Yea just change it up a little..
Greece: Heracles
Roman Empire: Hercules
Love this. And Greeks copied the Egyptians, etc...all of the ancient constellations can be traced back to the Babylonians.
Great video, I think Hercules seemed an interesting constellation.

I see the letter H when I look for Hercules. I always wondered if anyone else sees the same thing. Thank you for sharing.

Loved it ❤
Another excellent vid. When will registration begin for summer constellations courses? Thanks
Hi. In which part of the constellation Hercules is the Galaxy NGC 6348? Can you recommend a picture where I can look at it? well thank you

The Hero constellation since Babylon, I've been hoping for this review for a month. 🌌👏🌠 Yes 👏
cool
Too bad there's a full moon, I'd try to find it tonight. Nice video, thanks!

Actually, I take that back... I have heard of the Wow signal. I just didn't make the connection.
@@learnthesky Hi Janine! I actually did find that video a few hours after I made this comment. Thanks!
When looking for Hercules I search for the large H in the sky. Can’t miss it once recognized
Yes, the H is what gives it away for me at well.
Please can I get the soundtrack's name??

that’s Phil’s boy
This comment makes me so happy...I've been waiting for someone to say this.
H body shape looks like orion's body ...
It does. It's just missing the 3 belt stars, and definitely is not as bright as Orion.
@@learnthesky thanks for this great channel..
Hello im alwayswant to see some constellation in night
😍😍😍
