Glad to see another informative video on the night sky from you, especially as it has finally cleared up here in the D/FW area. This gives me something to practice on for the star parties I attend.
Hi Janine, I was just in the yard and was looking at Arcturus and Spica, but from my vantage point Corvus was behind the trees.🙄 Always a pleasure when you post a new video!👍👍
This is exactly the type of video I have been looking for. I have been an armchair astronomer for 40 years, but 2024 is the year I want to learn my way around the night sky. Thank you so much for these videos!
I saw it yesterday, very nice constellation. And yes, Hydra is so difficult to point out. I am lucky enough to work as a stargazing guide at a company in Tenerife, spain. Were we are at 2200m height, with almost 0 light polution. And the videos you are making is an excellent tool for information. Thank you, and keep up the excellent work.
Corvus has always looked like a mini Orion to me without the belt stars. I had no Idea that Hydra and Crater were next to it. It took me 2 years to find draco and Hydra is still very hard to find where it startrs.
I found the start of Hydra earlier this year (sometime in February and March of 2024) when looking for the constellation Cancer. For me, the easiest parts of Hydra to see are the head of Hydra and the star Alphard (Alpha Hydrae).
You took the words right out of my mouth! I was able to find Hydra by using Cancer. I agree, the head of Hydra was very easy to see. I was viewing in very dark skies when I saw it recently.
I found Draco accidently while I was trying to find Ursa Minor back in August 2023. Ursa Minor is often difficult for me to directly spot due to my northern horizon being severely light polluted.
Also, the most difficult northern circumpolar constellation for me to observe is Camelopardalis (the giraffe) due to how faint the stars are, how spread out the constellation is, and the presence of severe light pollution. For refrence, the brightest star is Beta Camelopardalis, with an apparent magnitude of 4.16.
In southern Sweden it's to close to the horizon, but I'm hoping to be able to set up the camera and get some pictures of Hercules and Lyra tonight, if the mosquitos don't kill me, and Corona Borealis has become one of my favorites thanks to you.
I can relate to the mosquitos. Earlier this month I was swarmed by mosquitos while attempting to photograph Omega Centauri from my lattitude in Texas, which does not rise any more than 12.2° above the horizon. On the bright side, I was able to see Gacrux for the first time!
@@Dalek-ro6xe Crux is a glory in my location, Acrux never sets below the horizon in my window during our winter and spring time in southern Brazil, Alpha and Beta Centauri almost do the same
I LOVE THIS TYPE OF STUFF I JST WATCHED LUKE 7 OF UR VIDEOS! Im definitely excited for the next blood moon!!! Just Ordered a telescope for it 🔭! Tbh you are my favourite teacher (besides Mr. sobo ) KEEP UP THE AMAZING VIDEOS
I'm like you were Janine I saw the star pattern, but never associated it as being a constellation. I live farther South too and it hangs around a little longer. Not until I saw it in my Star Atlas did I even notice it.
I’m going to get a iPhone 15 or better. I’ve found that I can already photograph constellations with my iPhone 12. The 15 seems to have built in tracking software. No star trails!
I kinda thought it was a cross I go out in a dark night to a place with no light pollution and air pollution Yes guys you shouldn't stargaze in air polluted area I mostly know where it is and as you know full 🌕 rises just after sunset and that full moon blocks the constellation which means we should try to see it in early phases or the moon

I really like your videos, I find them very informative, helpful and so relaxing to watch.
Thanks you!

Definitely one I’ll be checking out! 😎😎🐦🐦🐦🐦

Just when i thought there couldnt be any new constellation!
I didn't know about Corvus until now!
Great video as always 👍

I love the spring sky, especially Corona Borealis. I love learning the different legends of that constellation.

Very satisfactory. We want more videos like this!

Yay!!!! The constellation vids are back! ☺️☺️ So excited for more I LOVE these
I always liked this little constellation; it's four mag 3 stars really pop in this part of the sky.
More videos please!
Interesting. It is right overhead from my location as I type this. Southern hemisphere.
From my eye view, Corvus looks like the keystone of Hercules.
It does look like that!
Corvus is very easy to find in the Southern Hemisphere because the northern tip of the Southern Cross, gamma crucis, points directly to it
Great tip! Thank you!
Is Corvus also above Centaurus? I only have a partial view of the top half of the southern cross from my location in the northern hemisphere.
@@Dalek-ro6xe Yes, two of the main stars of Centaurus, gamma and delta, lie between Crux and Corvus
Love your videos.
i love your videos sooo much

It's pretty impressive what we can do with a cell phone these days. I'm surprised with how well my pictures are turning out these days.
VERY GOOD AND FUNNY
Unfortunately in my area there was not enough visibility for observation.
Can you do one on the Pisces constellation? I know its very far away...
I have a video on Pisces: th-cam.com/video/tSgtBul5eng/w-d-xo.htmlsi=SuGjB4MS79GkoAlr
Can you do the constellation Equuleus? The constellation isfaint, but it's between Delphinus and Pegasus
视频做的不错,但是画质都是720P,连1080P都没有吗
FOR CORVUS! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Roadkill looking flag, long live the Empire of Cetus!!!!!!!!
I kinda thought it was a cross
I go out in a dark night to a place with no light pollution and air pollution
Yes guys you shouldn't stargaze in air polluted area
I mostly know where it is and as you know full 🌕 rises just after sunset and that full moon blocks the constellation which means we should try to see it in early phases or the moon
Corvus its killer Asrael named Kibe. Bosnien CRV.
