    On April 3rd, 2020 Venus will be in front of the Pleiades in the evening sky. This happens every eight years, exactly.

      You know me personally and still are willing to watch these. I must be doing something right 😆.

    Hello, thanks for the info, as a beginner astronomer and decent astrophotographer what entry telescope would you recommend? or what pair of binoculars to see stars and star clusters like the Pleiades, Arcturus, Sirius, etc.

      Hello Chuy, you said you are already a decent astrophotographer, what are you using now?

      @@CosmosSafari I'm using a sony A7SII with a Sigma 20mm 1.4 art as my main gear. But I would like to get into telescopes more

    One of my greatest achievements with my refractor telescope is to discover a star cluster, and it's the M45 Pleiades star cluster. I was inside my apartment when my parents were sleeping, i discovered a group of stars.
    I was right at the beginning, it was a star cluster but I did not know which one.
    I used two star trackers without success to find what was that star cluster until star walk 2 got me right, it was the M45

      It is always very satisfying to find one of these objects on your own.

    So I understand that you don't want light pollution when trying to view the stars. What does light gathering do then? Is the telescope removing light from the frame so that things can be viewed better?

    • @CosmosSafari

      Light gathering power increases contrast by gathering more light on an object. You can still always do better by going to dark skies and the light pollution will always be the limiting factor. Most galaxies and Nebulae are very dim. The bigger the telescope, the more photons you gather from that object.

    Ive always wondered what these stars were called its looks like a faint tiny dipper about 5 stars I thought it was the little dipper

      Steven the Pleiades are one of my favorites. I get so excited when they start to rise, because I know that just behind them is my favorite constellation, Orion. It's almost like they are returning back as friends each year as they rise in the east in the fall and by winter and show themselves each night. I'm glad that I was able to help you to resolve this long time question.

    Great video ! I bought a pair of binoculars about a week ago and I just stumbled upon your channel yesterday while searching for celestial objects to observe. The video quality is phenomenal! I just can't believe that you only have 660-ish subscribers 😵. Keep up the good work man! You're Awesome !
