Really great, succinct explanations about low light photography, comets, light pollution, and photo editing. You're an untapped resource tucked away in the middle of nowhere! Keep up the good work.
Thank you! It snowed here yesterday and cleared out the terrible smoke which I was grateful for. Tonight I went out right after sunset and scanned the sky with my binoculars. Once I found it I was able to see the comet with my naked eye and it got much easier once twilight ended and before the moon got very high. It was very cool that I got to see it again but it is dimming as it fades away from earth. I'm glad you got to see this beautiful comet too.
This is a fantastic comet. I was able to find it with the unaided eye and photograph with my phone with a 3 second exposure. Beautiful! Thanks as always Tsula!
Hi Tsula, I’ve got it all…light pollution, clouds and I’m also in a “yellow area….. Good Grief!!! But I’ll keep trying….if I don’t see the comet I’m determined to see something!!!! Thanks for all the information I love your “real” style presentations, because you can appreciate all the problems we astronomers have to deal with! Enjoy your comet and dark skies 🤗🌙✨
Lynn: I know. I have all those problems when I am back in the Bay Area. I have to drive about two hours to get somewhere outside of the yellow area and now since the accident I am afraid to drive out on that scary road. And the Park Superintendent wrote me back in response to my letter complaining about that ranger and said that they would be herding us damn pesky astronomers into pens marked "star gaze here only" or something like that. I don't think I'll be going back. So, I am in your shoes as soon as I return to the Bay Area. I hope you get to see the comet before it fades away. Take care and thank you for all your nice comments.
Hi Tsula, thanks for your kind and encouraging reply, I will not let those clouds beat me!!! In the same way, I hope you can overcome your anxiety about driving. It’s understandable after such a traumatic event , so take your time and try not to overthink about it, as this will only make it harder. Later, when you feel ready, take a nice sunny day with good weather and have a go, you can always turn around and come back with no pressure to be anywhere. In the same way your equipment is slowly coming back to you, I feel sure you will slowly return to your adventurous driving, after all it was due to a series of unfortunate events and NOT your fault! As to those park rangers, we “Pesky Astronomers” can manage without their sort of help and I’m sure there are other places much more welcoming, with equally dak skies….Here’s to finding them! Take care and don’t worry it will all come good 🤗🌙✨
Good video.., You have clear, concise speaking, and your sentences are packed with good content. I hear and learn from the way you present information. Thanks, for sharing your passion in astronomy.
Thanks so much. Much needed information in your video. I've been out three times trying to photograph Tsuchinshan. Always arrive well before sunset and stay long after. I'm in the brightly lit South.
Thanks for sharing! I got out earlier and saw it. First with my phone then my canon m50 then my telescope. I was planning on using my laptop and telescope to do a bettet timelapse than just pushing the shutter button manually but its been just cloudy enough so i havent been able to. And its now back into school nights so I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it and get the kids to bed. I did get some images though, which i still need to post. Its pretty cool being able to see something that may or may not come back at all, even if i wont be around to see it again. I'm sure there will be more comets in the coming years too! Clear skies to all!
Thanks Tsula. I imaged the comet on the 15th with our family DSLR camera and a kit zoom lens. I used the app Sky Safari to help me find it. I could not see the comet by eye. Its getting dim fast. I appreciate your words of wisdom.
Hi Craig: Thanks. I'm glad you at least got to get a photo of it with the family DSLR and zoom. The comet is moving away fast and getting dimmer. I went out last night and there were many clouds but I managed to get my eyes on it very briefly before the clouds covered it up.
Another great informative YT clip .. thank you Tsula. I hope you’re doing well after your recent car accident as these incidents are always upsetting and take a little time to ‘get over’. Keep up your great work 👍😊
Great video. From UK, almost impossible to find. Travelled around locally for a suitable place to look. The nights have not been great but tried on Tuesday 15th, Thursday 17th & Friday 18th at 3 or 4 different locations. Thought Thursday would be the best night as clouds started to clear as night falls & you could see Venus & Arcturus just after sunset but I'd be blowed if I could find it. Not even with a pair of binoculars. I thought if it's that hard it cannot be that bright! Gave up around 7:30 when it was quite dark & Venus had disappeared below horizon. Tonight (Friday) I was surprised the clouds cleared again so another go, another place. I held very little hope due to being unlucky Thursday. Surprise surprise I found the comet! only after some time looking. Very faint though & pretty small. Needed binoculars to locate, certainly no naked eye object. Wasn't really worth getting excited about but I was happy I found the comet & seen it too! Should've took my camera with me, may have caught it in a long exposure but alas went straight from work :( I think that's it now, rain is forecast next couple of days!!
Well, you were certainly persistent. I think between the moon being just one day past full along with the comet moving away from us that it is coming harder and harder to see it. I just saw it for a couple of seconds two nights ago with my naked eye before it was completely covered by clouds. Then it snowed today and yesterday. Maybe I will get one more chance tonight to see it. Sorry your efforts were not better rewarded.
@@tsulasbigadventures I couldn't believe my luck Saturday night. It was a dreadful cloudy day, all day & rained for a good part of it. As day became night the clouds all but vanished to leave the clearest night yet. Not to miss an opportunity I got my camera equipment out, Nikon Z6, a quick self tutorial (I haven't used it much lately) on time lapse photography & ISO settings & off I went with my tripod. I went back to the place I was at the night before (seemed best place (at least with a car to park) not to many miles away) & set it all up. Did a sky scan with my binoculars just to make sure it was around & where it was. Having found it I pointed my camera in the general direction & took a 10 second picture. Well, blow me, first shot there was the comet in view! I took several pictures around the ISO you suggested & some a fair bit less. I settled for most shots at 2000 with many at your quoted figure of 1600! Many thanks for that tip. I played around with shutter speed from 6 secs all the way to 20 secs! 8 to 10 secs was the sweet spot as the comet was quite dim & certainly small in view but you could see how great the long tail was - smashing. Having just loaded all the pics onto my PC I can now see them on a bigger screen. Quite happy with many of them some were really to dim & some suffered from bliddy aircraft moving all over the place. Talking of moving objects, what a surprise I had, I saw Star Link moving across the sky, I thought WOW what a sight. How many satellites in a uniform row? must have been 12 - 15! Each one seemed to get half way across the sky & magically disappear at the same spot. I guess this was something to do with the suns reflection. I was very tempted to take a picture of this but this meant moving the camera & as such losing the comet so I did not (come to think of it a video may have been better but no time for that), however once Star Link had gone so had the comet, it mysteriously vanished, never mind I had my fill of images & now they are loaded onto my PC I see some of those images I took trying to relocate it do have the comet in view just so small & dim. Conclusion: Hasn't lived up to the hype but great to see a comet all the same & no match for Hale bopp! Ayeee now that was a comet.
@@stvme9767 I'm so happy you got to see the comet and get some photos of it before it fades away. The comet was much brighter when I took the photos at ISO1600, 4sec SS. The comet is much dimmer now. It was pretty neat seeing that long tail but I agree this comet cannot even come close to Hale-Bopp, comet of the century. First time I saw Star Link I didn't know what it was. It scared the hell out of me and I ran into the house.
@@tsulasbigadventures 😯😄 For a moment I wondered what was happening. Not something I was expecting or seen before then quickly came to the view it "must" be Star Link, something worth looking out for.
I found this comet a few days ago from Tacoma, Washington. Looking to the west from Puget Sound I got some great photos with a Fujifilm X-S20, and a Pentax K-2 MK 2. I got these photos through some hazy clouds around 7:30 pm to just after 8pm when the comet set. It wasn’t as good as Comet Neowise but was still a great comet. ❤
Yes, I did it for you. I hope you found it useful. I was in a rush to get the video out and couldn't remember your name to give you credit. Thanks for the suggestion and for promoting my channel!
@@tsulasbigadventures 6120, wow! Have you noticed some Europeans joining your page? The video we pushed has now nearly 16.000 views, when did that start picking up? Amazing!
Last night, October 15, in my neighborhood 25 miles west of Chicago (Bortle 8) I could just barely "sense" where the comet was with my naked eyes. This was after I'd located it in binoculars; I would never have spotted it if I hadn't found it with binoculars first. It was a nice sight in 15x63 binoculars against the darker sky about an hour and twenty minutes after sunset.
Thanks for all that great information. I’m sure a lot of people are going to find it useful. tomorrow and the next few nights is scheduled to be clear so I hope it works out I am just gonna be using my cell phone on a tripod. I’m gonna try five seconds maybe 10 then 15 and then maybe all the way to 30 seconds and see what comes out the best. I’m also going to be using my 4 inch F5 refractor. This might be even more ideal since it’s very short and only 500 mm focal length producing 13 power with a 38 mm. Ep I also have a 2 inch 56 mm piece which can achieve 8.9x which is pretty much identical to binocular view, but I’m not sure I can fit my camera adaptor around the eyepiece but I’ll give it a try Thanks again and I’ll see you on the next video
Thanks, Joe. I didn't try to lower the magnification on the 90mm refractor because it only accepts 1.25 eyepieces and I liked the wider view I could get with the 135mm lens but you should be able to get some good shots with that extreme wide angle eyepiece if you can get your camera on it. Good luck!
This year has been a great year for astronomy. First it started with the Solar Eclipse visible through all of north america, then we had the May 10th aurora storm, plus a few more mixed in. Then we had a partial lunar eclipse visible, then we had another great aurora storm, now we have this comet, plus another on the way! What more could we possibly ask for?
@@brodymk45 I have been looking at T Coronae since March when I had to stay up very late to wait for it to rise. So, it will have to happen at least after March. Let's hope so because I want to see it.
At 1:25, you don't need to find a special dark sky because the sky is already light poluted by the moon until approximatly 20.October. But good general info in this video anyway.
Hi Tsula, You are sooo Lucky to be able to have a GR8 View of the Comet and living in a gray and blue (no light pollution area ) as for Moi, I my dear am in a X-Mas Tree lit State called Florida LOL.... Unfortunately I have not been able to see it for the past 3 days sighhhh. What's worse, tomorrow is the Full Moon 10-17-24 😢 But! I will not give up, I still have until 10-21-24. Once again Awesome Video & Nice work on the pic. Will you be putting any of them for sale do you have a store shop? Oh, one more thang, you mentioned Satellites when you did the Photoshop, were those Real? Reason I ask is because when looking up with the naked eye Ever since 10-11 I been noticing several little lights (red/orange) moving very fast above in the sky. I thought it was the space station. Do you know what they may be? TFS ~ Hugs ~
Hello TFS: Thank you! I know I am lucky to be able to observe here under dark skies right from the driveway. I got clouded out tonight too but I'm grateful because it was getting dangerously smokey tonight from nearby fires. I hope you get to see the Comet before it fades away. Those were definitely satellites in the photo. I have seen the Space Station a few times and it moves very fast and is very different looking from the satellites to me. I don't know what the red/orange lights are that you have been seeing. Take care and best of luck on seeing the comet.
stay away from yellow or red and here in UK I AM IN A RED ZONE AND I USED TO SEE THE STARS CLEARLY BUT NOW WITH DAYLIGHT LIGHTS ON DURING THE NIGHT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ANY .possible to see it if i go to coast maybe?
I'm off to wingreen/cranborn chase south Wiltshire England tomorrow the 17th bortle 3 with a 360 view' bortal 2 a few hundred feet lower 90 minutes drive for me, personally i can spend hours looking at the moon.

So how long will it take for atlas comet to be back now that we found that 80,000 years is wrong?
According to NASA new data suggests that the path of Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS may take it out of the solar system altogether-- ie it may never return.
Been trying for a week. Clouds, lights. Just cant find it even with 3 stargazing apps
That's a shame. The clouds make it very difficult especially as the moon gets brighter. I saw it tonight very briefly in between some thick clouds.
