Clear skies to you, Alyn! Thanks for the information. I will try to make many, but my must-do is the Perseid Meteor Shower in August, the lunar eclipse in November, and the Geminid Meteor Shower in December.
I just opened your callander and am stunned! Your pictures are amazing. Someday, when I get out of the light pollution of Los Angeles, I am going to start taking my own pictures. I don't even consider myself an amature! But I love time lapse photography and your pictures. I also look forward every month to your what's in the night sky. Thanks again.
Great video, thanks for this perfect calendar for my astro-year - here's to hoping 2021 will open up for a bit more of travelling to escape those pesky cloud covers!
Twice in one day ay Alyn great video as usual, and I’ve just finished re watching your Astro vlogs series again and god that’s great content thank you.
I live at 68.3 North, so my viewing opportunities for many things are limited, but I do have stellerium on my phone and my desktop PC so I can plan around opportunities. The summer is a wash for pretty much everything except solar observations and I need a solar filter for my lenses or when I get a telescope OTA and az-eq mount that can work at my latitude. I already know the Skywatcher AZ-EG5 can work at my latitude range, but it's often out of stock. Many nights the northern lights make it difficult to try and observe the sky though. But there have been some really spectacular northern lights up here. I have a bortle 2 observing site at a road side pullout (rest stop) that is just 40 minutes drive away. Yes I live in a very small town in the arctic.
Lunar occultation of Mars is 17 April. I tried in vain to make it happen in Sky Safari in March, then looked it up. In the process discovered in-the-sky.org website, looks like a useful resource. Meanwhile, I will proceed with your video, marking my calendar along the way. Thanks for keeping us appraised of upcoming events.
I’m most looking forward to the benefics Mercury and Venus conjunction, which also occurred the year I was born. In fact I look most forward to all star activities of May, my birth month. IMO it makes the sky more intimate with those personal connections. Looking forward to seeing the star activities of 2021, thank you for your very nice assessment!
To see Mercury at greatest elongation on January 24, 2021, I drove 147 miles to Cape May, New Jersey, because its beaches face toward SW . . . WSW and there are 15 miles / 24 km of ocean until the neighboring shore of Delaware. That meant a view not masked at horizon by anything, as Mercury was going down from maximum 18 degrees. I succeeded to be at location just in time, but the sky was covered by clouds almost completely, defying the weather prediction. No way to see anything on sky, other than a Moon trying to punch through the clouds, so I ended by tuning my spotting scope with 90 magnification on the lights from the shore of Delaware, 15 miles / 24 km away. Thank you, Alyn Wallace, for the list of events. I have it bookmarked, to keep me busy for the whole year.
Happy New Year Alyn! Great events on the way... But what can we photograph under a Bortle 8 Sky? We can only resort to planets, moon, and the brightest DSOs, unless we go narrowband!!!!
@@AlynWallace Yes, I had seen that, Bokeh Stars and mirror were the best. And star trails and timelapse photography are awesome and attractive for sure!
I'm looking forward to getting rid of these bloody clouds. I don't know how much more I can take of them. I've had so many clear sunny days that just cloud out as the sun sets.
Thank you, Alyn, for the 2021 preview. Here in the USA I would say the November lunar eclipse caught my attention, and I look forward to another round of the Geminids even with the challenging moon.
Love this channel and thanks for the amazing content. Is there a comparable channel you could recommend where the focus is on night sky events for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere?
I'd love another comet like Neowise, I'm hoping by summer I can at least travel to Cornwall and get the Milky Way, and I'd like to add some of the conjunctions to my collection :)
Alan, if I may ask a question, can you find out if there will be an early showing, rather , early arrivals of the “ LYRID “ meteor event for April 2021, thank you in advance .
My biggest dream is that i’ll be able to watch the solar eclipse on June 1st with a clear sky, i live in the Netherlands. Hopefully no clouds then... 🙏🏻
Superb Vlog Alyn.... 🙌👌... thanks for sharing.... hope to get some clear skys in Wales and covid Vaccine to travel the world.... 😀... Have a great New Year... 😀
Awesum Alyn I have found Ur vidz so helpful, still gota find me the cheapest Canon DSLR, lost my Iphone11 before Xmas day so I am missing the camera on it. But use binoculars to get my starwatching to buzz out on. & To my joy I find it so just as rewarding if not better, I am actually seeing Pleiades/Matariki so clearly in the last week before New year's, it's now imprinted in my head
Luke 21 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea and of the waves;
Can someone please show me on a 3D model how it is possible to see Mercury or Venus in the night sky? I have tried and at no point in orbit just can't make it work unless they veer off their orbit?????
You can only see mercury and Venus during twilight (shortly after sunset or before sunrise) and are best seen when they are at positions known as greatest elongation in their orbit
For the first lunar eclipse on May, the eclipse won't be visible from the UK However... For the second lunar eclipse, there will be a penumbra lunar eclipse/partial lunar eclipse at around moonset in the North West (I think)
The biggest event for me would be more clear skies :D
You got that right.. Last 2 months have been terrible here in the Netherlands.
same here
Arizonaaaa
right !!
Jakob it looks like you do your stargazing at an apiary. Cool! 🐝
Here in New Jersey the closest thing to stars that are visible are snowflakes. 🌨🌧
The on-screen info for the Lyrids and Eta Aquarids got mixed up! Sorry 🙈 Happy new year all
It's all good and happy new years Alyn
do you share a calender (for import to Google or Apple calendar) with the main events during the year? ;-) Happy and Healthy new year to you
Cheers for 2021 and for more clear skies !! 🥂
Damn, 2 vids in one day. Would love to see more of that 😂
🤪
Qantas 🤙 ✈️

Hope you have a wonderful New Year! Greetings from Ohio, USA. 🪐
Clear skies to you, Alyn! Thanks for the information. I will try to make many, but my must-do is the Perseid Meteor Shower in August, the lunar eclipse in November, and the Geminid Meteor Shower in December.

Thanks Alyn - very useful. I'll be up for the Perseids (try to make up for the unlucky cloudy skies during the 2020 Gemenids!)

Namaste from India 🇮🇳 great video!
Can't wait to use your calendar in one day!

HOPEFULLY..meteors from any of the showers..and the planet alignments..I love chasing them!! Happy New Year...THANKS For all you do..
Thank you very much! I'm excited for August in particular.
Great video, thanks for this perfect calendar for my astro-year - here's to hoping 2021 will open up for a bit more of travelling to escape those pesky cloud covers!
I always love the blood moon.Thanks for the heads up, i need to scout and plan for that photo session.
Wow, your channel and videos are totally amazing. Glad that I came across your channel!

Thanks for gathering all that info Alyn. Clear Skies to ya too.
Wow, all astronomical event of the year in one video. AWESOME👌
Happy new year and clear sky
The biggest event for me would be the open borders and the end of pandemic 🙏 and the total moon eclipse, gonna test my Huawei p30 Pro again 😌
2021 will be interesting
Super neat, thanks for putting this together man.
Clear skies! Clear skies! 🤞

Nice work mate, love the channel!
Nice video once again, what is the name of the music background? It is very good!
okay now this is now the best againn
Alyn, With that amount of effort you put in,Why not start selling annual night sky calendars? I'd buy one with that level of detail
Wishing for night skies without clouds and without light pollution 😁
The biggest event for me in so far are the clouds.
Definitely the noctilucent clouds are to be shot! Is there any special weather condition to be followed?
I’m most looking forward to the benefics Mercury and Venus conjunction, which also occurred the year I was born. In fact I look most forward to all star activities of May, my birth month. IMO it makes the sky more intimate with those personal connections. Looking forward to seeing the star activities of 2021, thank you for your very nice assessment!

Yup you've hit the nail on the head. Might get lucky with the odd fireball meteor too 🌠
Also try some star trails! And check out my video about astrophotograph ideas for lockdown
@@AlynWallace Yes, I had seen that, Bokeh Stars and mirror were the best. And star trails and timelapse photography are awesome and attractive for sure!
Taking a Trip to Tennessee during March so I’m super excited for the Milky way Core!
Just when triple conjunction happens clouds are everywhere
Trust me...
December 2020 was really amazing for me...
As an astronomer, several events is amazing to see, but I just saw geminid meteor shower...
Missed the great conjunction because of clouds as always
I'm looking forward to getting rid of these bloody clouds. I don't know how much more I can take of them. I've had so many clear sunny days that just cloud out as the sun sets.
I hate clouds too, same with light pollution and haze on nights!
Thank you, Alyn, for the 2021 preview. Here in the USA I would say the November lunar eclipse caught my attention, and I look forward to another round of the Geminids even with the challenging moon.
2 vids!? No complaint here

On January 20th Mars will be within 2 degrees of Uranus. Always worth mentioning for people who have never seen the distant planet before.
Nice! Good work. As always. Thx for that!
// 2021 done in 15 minutes. //
My aim for this year is to capture a meteor on camera, not managed it yet :-)
Hey, great video, you didn't mention Europe, when talking about the blood moon, does that mean that ut won't be visible from Europe?
Me here, who couldn't watch the 2020 conjunction due to cloudy sky☁️☁️🙄
I love how meteor shower events heavily favors northern hemisphere😁
Thanks! Great information
Vercury will be pretty cool.... lol
My birthdate(4th Jan) is gonna be great... I guess this time...
Thanks for all this data...!
So in order to view and capture these footage what camera and lens is needed?
can you please tell what it was today at 3:50 am IST i saw a green trail or it may be flash for 1 sec and it disappeared near the south west nebula
Comet A1 Leonard is coming!!!
2022 😉
Well, technically yes
Wonderful!
Wow wealth of info TY
Well I cant witness anything from Lebanon:( . But I still see a few meteorites in perseids
What no asteroid to obliterate the Earth?
Do you use stellarium web?
Yup
Thank you 🐱♏☯️🏴
Already

We have a ship name for Mercury and Venus -Vercury

Is the total lunar eclipse visible from uk
For the first lunar eclipse on May, the eclipse won't be visible from the UK
However... For the second lunar eclipse, there will be a penumbra lunar eclipse/partial lunar eclipse at around moonset in the North West (I think)
Класно! А тепер трохи детальніш і по місяцях ,бо на весь рік тяжко охопити.

This should be in April?
@@mappycurry8107 yup
❤ from sri lanka.
