@@Pritchzrd What's his company? I'm a design engineer and engineers like your Dad are rocking horse shit. I'll gladly try to put work his way if I can.
Not only this channel is the best astrophotography channel But I truly think that it’s revolutionary and extraordinary Because, not only you made a nerd out of me, you also brought a light in my life. New communities and stuff New hobby! Thank you so much for all of your work 😊
@Astrobiscuit I'd have the communities too but I dislike ppl so I stay in my yard by myself doing telescopes I also love your videos you and astrobackyard got me into telescope and proud to say my wallet has been burnt but every penny spent has been worth it especially showing my family and hearing the wows never gets old
Could not agree more got me hooked on this for a year now and my kids love it it’s life changing getting into everything universe related changes your prospective on life it really does I showed my daughter Venus her teachers thought she was lying until I told them 🤯
Half an hour felt like 5 minutes. Absolute perfection. I don't even care that much about the end result, I'd just watch further episodes of you doing your thing :) Also, your videos motivate on many levels: to do astrophoto, to do something interesting and creative, to experiment in general, and to enjoy life with all the mistakes I make. Thank you, Rory.
Rory I have been following you for a few years and only now have I just looked you up on LinkedIn and now your videography and editing skills all make sense. I have never understood how you made it all look so professional, and now I understand, you are a professional. Awesome work, and btw I love your presenting, I think you make a great presenter. Thanks for getting me into astrophotography.
You should :D. The experience once you finally find the targets you are looking for and just relax and look for them isnt comparable to anything. Even the cheapest scope can be the best!
Rory you really are one of the most genuine people on this or any other platform. I cannot imagine even just putting myself out there on camera, let alone showing everything from triumphs to tears. The angle grinder clamped in the workbench was sheer genius/lunacy!
It is amazing to hear the awesome soundtrack that matches the drama in this video. There are so many different moods, soundscapes, build-ups and eerie pauses when needed and it's just a really beautiful overall experience. THANK YOU RIKTENSTEIN! You, Bunny and Rory make the perfect entertainment trio!
Oh my! Oh my! OH NO! This roller-coaster of emotions is too much for me! 😅 Also the secondhand embarrassment is real. I died a little inside 🥲 I'm looking forward to the next one. Just don't drop it . . . _please!_
I love the fact you keep all the mistakes and drama included. This is what most people go through, a kick of a tripod, freezing feet. One of the best things about the channel is we go on your journey and thankfully it’s an adventure.
This is by far the best space/telescope channel on TH-cam. The amount of effort that goes into these is amazing. And what’s even better is that it gives amateur astronomers looks at things they’d never see unless they tried it out on their own. Keep it up man.
like a short film of this guy building himself a telescope?! Asrobiscuit you put so much work into your videos it's unbelievable and let me tell WE ALL appreciate!! best content ever
Consistently drops the bar . Forgets to tighten the bar . Drops the bar some more because the Brit is not known for its grip strength , but it more than makes up for that with it's humiliation fetish . You could build five hundred of those telescopes and leave them to expose for twenty four months straight and you still wouldn't have captured enough stars to match the stellar burning hatred that I have for you , British Internet man . Now if you'll excuse me I am going to go buy cartons upon cartons of tea so that I can flush it down my dirtiest toilet while cackling -- unhinged and lost delirious in my ragegasms .
this is one of the most amazing channels i've seen on youtube; top notch editing and such wonderful music, it was worth the wait 😁 really looking forward to the next one!
Weather has had all all in the Doldrums for a while, almost across the globe! Man I had no idea how much I missed your videos, and its a you thing, not the subject, its your enthusiasm, charisma and determination sprinkled with a dollop of personality that gets us all excited about the subject matter all over again! I have a remote pier now in Bortle 1 skies waiting on a new mount to come and this relit the fire that had been missing! Thanks! I truly hope you grow to the point where you can do it full time so we can all see ya and delight in your shenanigans on a weekly basis! Keep it up!
I've lived in Tucson for 30 years, been to KIT PEAK several times and worked on their cars for headlight kill switches etc.. LOVE your channel! Just got a 114gt I'm playing with
(Please take what I've written below as helpful commentary, I loved the video and am cheering all the way). I'm watching this hoping wildly that the three armed spider with fine wire doesn't result in 12 very long diffraction spikes. The reason for four arms is that each arm creates a diffraction spike across the star - and with four arms, properly aligned (they weren't in your first, blurry image) the diffraction spikes overlap, so you wind up with four spikes instead of 8. With arms 120° out, you'll get 6 spikes. Additionally, thicker arms generally yield less diffraction, so the spikes are sharp, bright, and short. Thinner arms yield longer, more diffuse spikes (just like small holes make more diffusion, small obstructions do the same). So just going by how things ought to work out, I'm expecting 6 crazy long diffraction spikes (minimum - if the upper and lower wires aren't perfectly aligned, each will create its own pair of spikes - but Kerry seems like a bit of a wizard, so I'm guessing it's going to be 6) from the thin, thin wire that was initially tried and 6 moderate ones from the much thicker guitar strings. EDIT: Well poo. 6 prominent diffraction spikes with at least two pairs of wires slightly misaligned (so 10-12 long spikes). They're all close, but at that thickness getting them to overlap perfectly is going to be very, very difficult. You've also got some other obstruction in there that is 60° off of the spider wires. Not sure what that is, but it's generating another set of minor spikes, and then the fuzziness around the star is some additional obstruction - likely (at least in part) the tube of your coma corrector getting into the light path because it's so long and the focuser had to be racked all the way in. Kerry's mirror cell holder, with the disk around the edge, that's brilliant. Amazing idea. Normally you'd need to mask the clips to avoid yet another set of mangy diffraction fuzz.
I have a headache after watching that video 😂 Who could have thought astronomy could be so dramatic? Seriously impressive piece of telescope engineering. Hat off to your effort and Kerri's.
What a wonderful discovery to have found your channel. I absolutely love these telescope challenges. I own a celestron 8. But it is stowed away in my attic. Your enthousiasm makes me to dig it up tomorrow. I will have to learn all over again how to set it up. I remember why my initial enthousiasm died before getting my first real views. I live in the most light polluted areas in Holland. But i guess if I start tomorrow maybe this winter there'll be some viewing opportunities. Thank for lighting this flame again. I have subscribed to your channel and hope for more content . Cheers Martin.
Rory is an absolute legend in my opinion, lots of other content on TH-cam, "which don't get me wrong" is very education and has helped me a lot throughout the years, but Rory although a little bonkers 🤣 reminds me of so many of my astro buddies who don't conform to the conventional, keep up the good work you are a legend ....
Gravity is a harsh mistress. Everyone will be double checking their tube's holdy-thingies more thanks to this cautionary vid. However, as reality shows have proven: drama makes these vids twice as good.
The story telling and editing of your content is amazing for a relatively smaller channel, you deserve far more attention. Keep it up mate! Greetings from another astrophotography fan in California!
as someone from New Zealand i travel to Dunedin to watch the Aurora Australis for a week every year and its mind blowing every single time but seeing the aurora borealis is breath taking i honestly wish i could come over to wales to be able to the aurora borealis in person
Kerry (assuming that's his name from the subtitles) is such a saint, look at his face the third time you went back @22.38 - that is the face an engineer pulls when they mean: Seriously? But ok - don't push me 😂😂😂😂
This channel is so great! Thank you to all who donated and helped him out! Honestly, to know that people are helping out with things like this, has me believing in humanity again. So much has gone wrong in this world and we all could use a gr8 distraction of knowledge like the ones this channel gives us. Gr8 info and gr8 entertainment…. But time n time again people keep surprising me with their loving contributions to others! You guys are gr8
Of course...a C14 haha. Well I'm very happy your YT channel is still alive ! Your videos have such good storytelling...you keep suspens and we just can't wait to see the next...
Such a fantastic TH-cam channel! I love the humour, the editting, the music and the scientific content. I'm inspired by Rory and Astrobiscuit to start on the journey of astrophotography with my son! Thanks Rory and keep it up! I can't wait for the next installment!
You make me feel a lot better about myself as im super clumbsy lol, my cat knocked my little refractor off my cabinet the other week and it had everything attached to it, cameras, guide scope, eaf etc, a bit scared somethings not right now and ive not even had it that long. luckily it landed on soft carpeted floor. would have cried if it was solid ground 😱
Your channel is the best I have seen on TH-cam, that makes astrophotography accessible to the most people. The way that you take simple equipment, cobble it together, and make something fantastic is the best part. I was also wondering if the Astrobiscuit is going to get new gear? My Astrobiscuit t-shirt is getting thread bare. The real fans of your channel will be patient. I simply tide myself over by rewatching your older material, and I sometimes pick up new things. Your channel has a solid fan base.
Rory, thankyou. Great work. A great story. I was very much looking forward to seeing you release your next video and it was just a great experience. By far my favourite creator on TH-cam - across any genre. You're the TopGear of Astro channels. Love your approach of having a project with an ultimate goal as apposed to "look at what i took a photo of with $30,000 worth of astrophotography equipment".
Wow! Super exciting, super great project from the first to the last minute. Your TH-cam channel is very exciting and well designed. I wish you very good luck for your future projects. And thank you for making the videos available to us. Clear skies. ♥️🍀🙏
Another rollercoaster of an astro-docu-drama, Rory, brilliantly done. The secondary cell looks fantastic on the front of the scope, but I think guitar-stringing will have to become part of your repertoire. 😉
Great to see you back. Been missing biscuits so much I’ve become addicted to chocolate hob nobs! What a fantastic guy Ceri is. Looking forward to the sequel
Man, Ceri is a saint! The next time I need something manufactured, I’ll call him... what a stand up geezer! Kudos to you sir!
