Reading star charts takes practice. Start with simple charts and gradually work your way up to more complex ones as you become more familiar with the night sky.

The work you've been doing for such a long time is crazy! Well done, and keep going!
Love your videos. Please keep posting.
Thank you very much for these wonderful videos.. I'm learning a lot..🤝
Thank you Janine 👍.
Useful Information, Thanx
Thanks Janine, this was the best explanation I've seen!👍👍 Will you be able to see the eclipse where you are? Weather's not looking good here in New England, hoping we can find a clear spot somewhere! 🤞🤞😎😎
Hi Janine!!! Happy Easter to you and yours!! Love light and blessings from Michigan.
I hope you had a nice holiday as well. :)
Thank you for your new video. Amazing, as always😊
Thanks so much for providing this wonderful information.
Very nice. Get these kids educated and looking to the sky.
Red nail polish. I never would have thought of that
i found ur channel a few days ago and ur content is gold :D
thanks for the info :)
Lots of good beginner info in one video. Takes me back to when I first started out. Cheers!
This is how you learn the sky…NOT GOTO! I get it though - if GOTO gets more ppl involved in astronomy and outside with their telescopes looking up, but…
checked the book out and i gotta share it with my friends
Hi Janine.
Another wonderful video. Thank you.
I spotted Mercury on 2 evenings last week in the dusk.Used my Helios 2x40 wide field binoculars to find it.After it got a bit darker i could just detect it naked eye.Technically Uranus is after Mercury as dimest as it is just naked eye although so dim it wasn't known to the ancients.
damn thank you so much!!!
fantastic thnx
Well done! A cup of coffee for u!
Thank you!
Hi Janine, Informative video's! Do you have a video that discusses distances and aspects of the different objects in the sky?
I don't have a video on stellar distances. It can be a tough topic to break down. I can add it to the list.
Can you do a video on the Puppis, Vela & Carina constellations? They were listed by Ptolemy as one big constellation called Argo Navis.. Thanks
I am working on acquiring pictures of those constellations. It is quite a challenge to find pictures of constellations in the southern hemisphere
感谢你的分享！作为一名初学者，我从你的视频里学到了很多有趣的天文知识😀
2:56 I don't think the Big Dipper is drawn correctly. It looks off. The sloped line between Megrez (δ UMa) and Phecda (γ UMa) should be away from the handle, not towards it (angle should not be acute).
EDIT: Nvm, the picture is probably distorted. The horizon is bent concave lol.
Fonts too small for me to see.
Not for idiot,like me.
