This was definitely, without a doubt, one of - if not - my favourite night doing astrophotography. It was so amazing knowing how many people where joining in with this comet and how it was (quite literally) a shining beacon to unite people and a bit of good freaking news for once!
It really was a buffet of objects in the sky. I wish I had even more equipment to have captured it all! The still lake really helped make this photo, I'm happy the wind was down. Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
OMG to capture a comets reflection in a lake is a pretty big bucket list tick! Beautiful image mate, you've been crazy busy with you channel this weekend, but well worth it.
Mate tell me about it. We were shooting and we both reviewed the images and were adamant we could get the reflection. Out came laser pointers to figure out angular resolution and where we had to put the camera and test shots and all sorts haha. But I'm so chuffed with this image. Yeah, my channel is important to me, its a way to connect with so many like minded people. Trying to give as much content as I can without burning out! :) Got Thursday and Friday off - so expect more videos to be filmed haha
I was on your live stream, I was the person that said best 2 hrs of my life and this was was the best 8:53 min of my life! Great glad it would out for you Ruz!
Yes I remember! Thanks for tuning in to the stream. I'm also super happy that you enjoyed this video. I think this is my favourite video I've made so far
We were out in the same night. The planet parade is just beautiful, and we've seen the same ISS pass. And I also parked in a non parking spot... This comet is a thing to remember, I feel🔥
I fully agree with you Tim. It's so cool knowing so many people were looking at the same thing at the same time. Also that we caught the same ISS pass and both broke parking laws. Incredible night!
@@AstroFarsography Fantasstic pictures and video as per usual. Just to mention that Pluto is moving behind Jupiter from the left. Hope we get some clear skies this week.
Thanks Ray! Yes it was so nice by the lake. It was so beautiful the only thing that ruined it was the generator that was running. It broke the serenity but it was still an awesome night. Agreed moments like that makes everything even better!
Great video and great image. What I love in this video is your obvious passion for the night sky. Thank you for inspiring and sharing. Do you think you will use that spot again for some darker skies?
Thanks James. Yes that was me trying to contain myself as well. I got home at like 4am and was still up until 5 until I just dropped basically. I think I would go back there again, definitely take the SkyGuider next time.
Ruzeen this is Probably the best image I've seen of this comet congratulations, I was lucky enough this morning to see the comet with a pair of binoculars it was a stunning view which took my breath away. I managed to take a image using my iPhone, it's supposed to be clear here in York tonight hopefully I will get a decent image using my telescope. Clear Skies and stay safe Tam.
Thanks so much Tam that's really nice of you to say. I'm glad you enjoy the photo so much. I must admit I'm pretty speechless that I was able to take this photograph. It'll be framed and hung with pride I think! I wish I took a telescope with me as well but it was just amazing even with the eye. Clear skies for tonight my dude, enjoy yourself!
Well it was this big with an 18mm camera lens. I think at 750mm you'l get a good view of the nucleus though and maybe some tail but I don't reckon you'd get the whole thing in
Haha rivers and lakes always make good focal points it seems! Thanks for the comment bud. Luckily I didn't have to worry too much about filming this time because I had my mate with me.
I may try my F1.4 50mm lens tomorrow morning. I have low expectations since the comet is so low, and the LP is soo bright right now in that part of the sky. There's also the problem with high haze from the Saharan dust and humidity mixing to create a nasty soup in the sky that exacerbates the light pollution.
Ooh 1.4 that'll give you some super short exposure times for sure. Hm do you think a filter could be useful for you when you next go out? That dust though yeah I think would definitely kill the clarity. Good luck though bud
I stumbled upon your video yesterday, 11 days later, after looking for Astrophotography GIMP tutorials. When you pointed from Capella to the comet I thought "heh, that looks familiar". And when you turned around to show Jupiter and Saturn, and especially Mars next to the Moon, I thought..."huh? wait a minute?". And then the ISS pass.... "whaaat!?". Only then I looked up the date, and saw that you were out at the exact same time as me. Except I was about 6 degrees east of you in the central Netherlands. I spent about 15 minutes photographing the comet, but then got all caught up in the planets. What you may not have seen, due to your location and the trees to your east, was that Venus was also rising bright in the east. It was a planet feast. I don't have a telescope, just a camera with a 200mm lense. A star tracker, but without a goto system, so pointing is a bitch. But for the first time in my life I photographed Titan :-). I've been watching some of your other video's. What a great stuff, I love your enthousiasm! Greetings from 6 degrees east ;-).
WOW Ruzeen, this is an amazing video. Well done Mate. I've got to get up early and see if I can come even close to your capture. Did you say 3 am and it's already twilight???
Thanks very much Pat. Yeah, about 3am or so it begins to get bright. But that should change soon. Astro darkness returning. Did you manage to get it at all?
I don't think I have seen a comet photo with a reflection of it in a lake, very nicely done (okay, good timing!). Might make me get up at 5.30am tomorrow. Neowise will be in northern sky for me and not too low.. just gotta hope for no clouds.
Did you manage to get the comet? THanks for the comment. Yeah, planning plays a huge role in this type of astrophotography. Started with deciding I didn't want urban foreground, then Google Maps etc.
Haha yeah man. I didn' get that nap either. I finished the stream, went and got food. Ate food, did some filming. Roped my mate into coming, organised my bag and planned my journey and found the imaging site, played some video games and then just went to the site. I was too excited really. I could barely wait by 1am. But yeah I'm really paying for it today! Videos will continue coming my man! Thanks for the support! :)
AstroFarsography didn’t get it, waited until 2:30 am maybe I should have waited even longer :/. Friday I have another clear skies, but i think it is to late then.
AstroFarsography I GOOOOT HIMM :DDDDD I am so happy now, my first ‘deep’ space object! Sadly my (mirrored) photo camera didn’t see it, so I had to take it with my iPhone trough the eyepiece but....omg it isn’t half bad.
At 2:40 Ruz states, wish me luck. Me actually in my head going: "Good luck m8" Then thinking...well that doesn't matter does it...its already all in past and recorded :D
Haha thank you for your good luck wishes! it did feel a bit touch and go in terms of the clouds, and I was really nervous driving to the imaging site. It was much better having my buddy with me. Also, it does matter - I sometimes upload videos when things go wrong ;)
@@AstroFarsography Hahh I totally get the having buddy with me to feel much better. Last week on one night when I went comet hunting I had my buddy with me. We went to one hill side on the edge of a massive field. Its between 1-2AM and suddenly I hear a lot of animals running toward my position exactly where I was set up. And I can't see them because the grass on the field next to me is so high. Like a damn scene from horror movie :D Just before they reached me they split into multiple directions and then I saw it was 5-6 hares. And then I was thinking that the only reason I managed to keep cool was that I had my buddy with me and I wasn't alone like most of times :D
Ah that's a shame I hope you get the opportunity. I feel fortunate, mother nature has now chose to bucket it down with rain AFTER the weekend. Fingers crossed for you
This was definitely, without a doubt, one of - if not - my favourite night doing astrophotography. It was so amazing knowing how many people where joining in with this comet and how it was (quite literally) a shining beacon to unite people and a bit of good freaking news for once!
Very nice Ruz! Bonus footage with so many targets :) Plus a glass lake on top of that, WOW! Love it, my man! Thanks for sharing!
It really was a buffet of objects in the sky. I wish I had even more equipment to have captured it all! The still lake really helped make this photo, I'm happy the wind was down. Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Definitely a great shot and excellent video! I see an excited and honest Ruzz at the lake. Those are the moments we live for!
Thanks Ray! Yes it was so nice by the lake. It was so beautiful the only thing that ruined it was the generator that was running. It broke the serenity but it was still an awesome night. Agreed moments like that makes everything even better!
Yessss you got the shot that I was hoping for! Great work Ruz!!
Excellent video Ruz!! So glad the weather was better for you. Hoping to be out again at some point (if Scotland allows ;). Keep it up!
Fingers crossed that Scotland actually plays nicely for you bud! Thanks for the comment and glad you enjoyed the video! :D

Ruz, This is a fantastic shot man , love the reflection you got, worth getting up early for I'd say. Very natural looking and not 'over processed' :)

Thanks dude and thanks for tuning in to the stream!
All i can say is WOW thanks for sharing that picture - Incredible - amazing - beautiful Shot
Thanks Robert! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm stunned that I took this photo
Nice image Great live stream the other day as well. Clear Skies!
Thanks Richard and thanks for tuning in to the stream also. Clear skies to you too friend
Great picture, Ruz!!!
Thanks a lot Enrique! Hope to see you at the next live stream :)
Another great Video Ruz
John
Thanks very much John! :)
Do you think that with a 150/750mm telescope and a dslr will I be able to fit it well in the view??
Well it was this big with an 18mm camera lens. I think at 750mm you'l get a good view of the nucleus though and maybe some tail but I don't reckon you'd get the whole thing in
Your taste in music is great. I love future garage, it perfectly replicates how I feel when I see these things
I was down by the local river Friday night, I would have fallen in if I was filming too, top skills mate and a lovely capture :)

@@AstroFarsography not sure about a filter. Could hurt the comet's brightness.
But I have a plan..

@@AstroFarsography No comet, just clouds early this morning :-( Oh well, looks like a early rise again tomorrow (Wed) to see how the sky looks.
Nice job Ruz!
Thanks buddy! :D
You must kave been absolutely kn@#*red after your q&a session earlier on. Well done and keep the videos coming.
Haha yeah man. I didn' get that nap either. I finished the stream, went and got food. Ate food, did some filming.

For some reason I was not able to see it last night :/ going to try it tonight again
Oh no that's a shame! Good luck for tonight, let me know how you get on!

I thought you family must be from Iran with the word Fars as your title. What's "Fars" stand for? Thanks.
Nice one ☺👌:)
Thank you! :)
And there you where in the livestream asking what to do. Wasn't it going to be a nap? 😏😁
Haha I ended up not napping. Was too excited! By the time I found my site and did my video work there was no point to nap 😏
