To much clouds here all week long, someone must have bought a new telescope near me.😢
Ah I'm sorry. Sending you thoughts of clear skies!
Great video! Wish I had this yesterday. We eventually found it, but this video would have made it so much easier!
Thanks! And sorry!
I started making this video as soon as I got home on Saturday with plans to publish Sunday morning but I was so tired lol, I ended up finishing it last night (Sunday night) and uploaded/published this morning.
@@Naztronomy No need to be sorry! It's a great video and gives me a new way to find things visually going forward! :)
Good info Naz. This will help a lot of people!
Thanks! I wanted to Make the video before I went out but didn't know how it would go in real life.
I went out side yesterday on the 14th no luck in my b8 backyard could not even find a speck hopfully ill be able to today
Good luck! If you have binoculars or any kind of optics, use them. And you can also use your phone to take some pics of the sky, the camera will pick it more before your eyes can.
Hope tonight goes well!
I am in Nor Cal 15 minutes north of S.F. I saw it last night. Oct 15th 2:11
Awesome, congrats on seeing it! Did you get any pics?
Too cloudy tonight. Saw it yesterday, though. It was right in the middle between Venus and the star Arcturus, on a straight line. I don’t know how everyone gets these bright photos. For me it was fairly dim.
Glad you were able to see it yesterday!
The bright photos are just different camera settings. I have another video up with a timelapse and you can kind of see it flicker as I update the exposure times. I try my best to keep it flat but as the sky gets darker, we need longer exposures.
A lot of photos are also post-processed to make the bright stuff brighter and the sky darker.
Its not visible from my roof...too much city light. Venus is very bright but even the other star is very faint.
Ah I'm sorry. Any way to get on the other side of the city? Even if you can put most of the light behind you it might help.
Or if you have Binoculars, that should help gather some of the light from the comet. That might work from the city as well.
THANK YOU. Hahahahaha. This is what I typed on google..... "I looked to the right of Venus and then up and still couldn't find the comet." Then I hit enter and this video link popped up. Laughing...Lol
Ahhh awesome! Venus is such a great marker in the sky.
Also thankful Google already has this video in their search.
Is this visible on OCtober 20? This is the only time that I'm free so hopefully I could spot it T_T
It'll be within the visibility range on the 20th but much dimmer than it is today. You may need to get out of city lights to see it but it's totally possible. If you have binoculars use them. And use your phone to snap pics, it'll spot the comet faster than your eyes.
Venturing into being a hand model now ??
Ha! I need a new way to pay for my astronomy hobby.
@@Naztronomy ... I hear ya. I just bought a used Canon SL3 and a Canon f/2 135mm and that was $1000. I couldn't see the comet with naked eye last night but I could see it through the camera so I was able to get a few shots. I was standing in a field freezing my ass off and I remembered your time lapse but didn't feel like hooking my intervalometer up.
I bet that 135mm is amazing!
Better to stay warm and freeze trying to do a time lapse.
I got lucky that it was a fairly mild evening, even though I was by the water, the breeze felt nice. It got really cold later at night and I can't see myself sticking around for a timelapse in that cold.
for me it was naked eye visible pretty easily
Awesome! Where are you located and how long after sunset did you see it?
I didn't see it naked eye until about an hour after sunset. My camera picked it up much earlier.
@@Naztronomy I’m from south cali. I went to a b4 spot not too far from where I live in LA. I was so surprised at how visible it was. Tho dim it was still easily visible
Very cool! Thanks for sharing your location. I hope more people get a chance to see this.
Yeah i saw nothing other than Venus and that other star. Waited an hour after sunset nothing.
Did you use your phone's camera to see if it picks up anything? If the atmosphere or light pollution is too high, it could eat the light from the comet itself.
An hour after sunset should have been long enough. Hopefully you get some more clear skies this week to try again.
@@Naztronomy Well, I took another picture and couldn't tell if it was pixel disturbance from my phone camera. It was an extremely faint line of pixels where it was supposed to be located in the sky. I think that might be it.
That sounds like you got it! Next time you go, if you have a phone tripod or if you can rest your phone somewhere and take a pick in "night mode" or a 10 second exposure in "pro mode" you may see even more structure.
@@Naztronomy Ok, good ideas. I think 🤔 I'll try a longer exposure time.
Hm... a century comet who is hard to find? Something is wrong... 🧐
Ok, the next two days the weather should be better. Maybe I will see the comet...
