I have a physics degree, but surprisingly, astronomy doesn't figure much into the curriculum. I got a cheap telescope a few months ago, and now I have this intuitive sense of which way the Earth turns, and I feel connected back to historical astronomers. Can you believe that Tycho Brahe didn't even have a telescope?
I looked him up on Wikipedia. What an amazing person! Great that you found a way to reconnect with the universe, astrophotography/ astronomy is such a rich and giving hobby. Cheers!
I watched a very compelling video of why Pluto is still a planet and that there is a good chance it will be reclassified. But even if it doesn't get promoted, it will always be a planet in my heart lol
Pluto is still high on my list. But truth told: Pluto really doesn't care whether it's called a planet or not :-) We humans need categories - planetary bodies do not. Did you watch the video of Dylan?
@@catchingphotons lol I was just telling someone humans need to categorize and classify things because we don't like chaos. If you're referring to Dylan from Australia, yeah it was his video.
That definitely depends ;-) In this video I didn't want to draw strict borders because there are no. Aperture: I personally would call 12"&14" aperture big - 16" Dobson owner would smile about that ;-) Focal length: 750mm is what I'd call middle ground. For a "full grown scope" 300mm are short (even though you can take incredible images with DSLR lenses @100mm) and 2000mm SCT is a long focal length scope in my opinion. 2000 are great for planetary 1500 great for galaxies 750 is (IMHO) a versatile all rounder 300 great for large nebula Clear skies!
I've searched the whole internet for a complete tutorial on how to start observing our universe, you have no idea how happy i am to have found this!!!
Dear George,
and you have no idea how delighted I am about your encouraging comment. Thank you very much!
Greetings
Chris
Very good. Nobody talks about what telescopes are required for what objects. This is helpful
Thanks Gowtham! I'm glad the video was of any help!
man your videos are amazing! you definitely deserve much more views and subscribers!
Thanks man! I really appreciated that comment! Clear skies!
Millions of thanks for your tutorials and videos!! Make everything much easier for begginers like me. ;)

3:55 - although phosphene has now been discovered which indicates there may be life in the upper atmosphere of Venus
A suprise for everyone! I was very excited about this discovery.
My dad just got me a telescope. I'm so excited!!!
Great!! You'll have a lot of fun!! Cheers and clear skies!
Found what I need, subbed!
Thanks great to hear! Thanks for sticking around. Clear skies to you!
Thanks for this series. I found your link on the astronomy shed forum.
Hey John! Thanks for your comment! Great forum: There are nice, helpful and friendly people around there.
Clear skies!

Nice one, thank you!
Glad you liked it! Thank you for your comment!
I really enjoy creating them and for sure: more are to come!

Thanks a lot!
You are very welcome!
Which size aperture do you consider big and what focal length do you consider long?
That definitely depends ;-)
In this video I didn't want to draw strict borders because there are no.
Aperture:
I personally would call 12"&14" aperture big - 16" Dobson owner would smile about that ;-)
Focal length:
750mm is what I'd call middle ground. For a "full grown scope" 300mm are short (even though you can take incredible images with DSLR lenses @100mm) and 2000mm SCT is a long focal length scope in my opinion.
2000 are great for planetary
1500 great for galaxies
750 is (IMHO) a versatile all rounder
300 great for large nebula
Clear skies!
What long scope do ?
See the rest of the video series for more infos. Cheers!
