    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).

    • @learnthesky
      @learnthesky  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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.

      It took me forever to find Draco. It's still the most difficult circumpolar constellation to find for me.

    • @Dalek-ro6xe
      @Dalek-ro6xe 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    • @Dalek-ro6xe
      @Dalek-ro6xe 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    • @learnthesky

      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!

    Corvus is very easy to find in the Southern Hemisphere because the northern tip of the Southern Cross, gamma crucis, points directly to it

      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.

    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 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
