    This was absolutely incredible. You are such an inspiration, not just in your findings but in the way you dedicate yourself for dealing with all the difficulties of this vocation with such high spirits and endless devotion. These images blew my mind into pieces. The live feed of the star nursery with all the bubbles - a celestial object of such vast proportions laid out in front of us like sprinkles on frosting - within our live point of view, from here on earth!! I couldn't believe what I was seeing. And after that, seeing the protoplanetary disc and the young solar system was just beyond comprehension.

That will give you a lot more than just looking through an eyepiece. It’s the closest to real-time astronomy and fairly easy to do. It’s called EAA (Electronically Assisted Astronomy).

      Glad you are still with us for the ride. We are filming two videos right now in Tenerife. Hopefully these will be epic. Fingers crossed. A lot of things have already gone wrong so it should be good to watch.

    I just got my first astronomical telescope and I can't wait to learn how to use it. Been camping in the Yorkshire dales this weekend and saw the clearest sky of my life it was mesmerising I could see the haze of what I assumed to be the milky way which was awesome.
