This series is amazing.... Quick 5 Mins of amazing info every week :)
who cares about the weekend-- 5-minute Fridays is the real reason to look forward to Friday!!
That class would have been amazing at school... thanks a lot
I like this series. I just shoot because it's fun and the DSOs are pretty. Today I've learnt a bit of it's"backstory".
Loving 5 minute Fridays. Generation Z has found its Carl Sagan!
What puzzles me about the catalogue is the numbering of the objects in it.. Some objects on that catalogue are so bright that they are visible to naked eye even from Bortle 5-6 skies. E.g. Orion nebula and Pleiades and those are numbered 42 and 45!! They could have been M1, M2..
Wow!!! I really like five minute Fridays!! This was super informative! I think I want to try this challenge you spoke of. Thanks Nico!
Great video. If you are in an astronomy club affiliated with the astronomical league you can participate in several programs to see every Messier object. Upon completion you will get a certificate.
Great Informative Video!! Enjoying This Series!👍
Week 2 of appreciating Five Minute Fridays
Thank you for this series.
I look forward to seeing the following videos in this series.
Didn’t know you were doing these five minute Fridays. Definitely in my weekly list now. Thanks!
This is highly intruiging for a layman such as i am, when it comes to Space in general, Astrophotography in particular, i absolutely adore watching the night sky whenever i get the chance, which is usualy most nights, this made me think, if the light polution in a given area is manageable enough, could one observe the majority of the Messier celestial objects without a telescope, if one knows where to look for the celestial bodies/objects, by eyesight alone ?
Might be an utterly silly question, but, il ask since i do not have any before knowledge.
This is inspiring sir, thank you very much for uploading and having an way of explaining that intrigues.
God Bless sir
"could one observe the majority of the Messier objects by eyesight alone ?"
No. Some of them, but not the majoritiy.
You can see with the naked eye quite many star-clusters, even under a somehow lightpolluted sky (let' say at a magnitude of 20 to 21).
You can see the lagoon-nebula and the galaxy M33 and M31 under a quide good sky. And the galaxy M81 under a nearly perfect sky.
Messier himself sufferd on light-pollution, because some 10 to 20 years before he started, it became a law, that the streets of Paris had to be lit at night, a city with about 850.000 inhabitans around 1780.
And of course his sky was heavily polluted: Tousends of (coal-)fires burned uncontrolled at private houses and the starting industry.
Messier himself did not observed all "his" object. He found 38 of these 110 (all the others were discoverd an discribed by others) And he ovserved about 90 of "his" objects.
@@sternenhimmelfotografierende This is informative sir, thank you very much for this elaboration on the matter. Have a nice day/night, God Bless
Amazing content. Nico, you must have been a teacher in a previous life.
god damn Im blown away by the amount of different subtitles this video has!
Just rolls the M numbers out without thinking. Messier memory A+
Great quick and informative video. Thanks!
While we search for the M objects he used the list as things to avoid in his search for comets.
Hi Nico, amazingly short lecture about Messier Catalogue. As I live in Southern Hemisphere, what kind of book would you recommend to observe the sky from this location? I appreciate getting some guide lines. Thanks & clear skies.
The Caldwell Catalog was designed as a short list (109 objects) like the Messier catalog, but for the Southern Hemisphere 👍
How about a Ten minute Thursday?
I like 5min Fridays. Thanks.
Can’t wait for your next video, cause I’m in a bit of a drought for deep sky objects to take a picture of. I’m a super light polluted area and only have a DSLR Camera and no other equipment. Wondering if I can get a picture of those galaxies maybe.
Very concise, very enjoyable!
Good info. thanks buddy
Great Nico! Keep going
Nice video and explanation
As usual, a great video. I'm a bit surprised, however, that you did not mention that Messier discovered (or re-discovered) the Crab Nebula (M1) while looking for the return of Halley's Comet.

great stuff, clear skies.
The guy with zero haters
This is actually funny.
As always very interesting video 👍👍
Would be great to make a video to show the set in depth you have there, like cable and power management, it looks all so clean and tidy
This is a good idea 👍 well done!
👏 Well done! Two thumbs 👍 👍 for 5 minute Fridays.
Thanks Nico! T.G.I.F. Great series, enjoy the weekend!
Love these 5-minute videos!!!
beautiful images with a tonne of knowledge,... thing learned NGC full form :)
Thank you Nico!!
Great overview. Thanks for the tip on the workbook. I'll check it out.
What happened to the video ?
I think that you’re on to something here with the 5 minute Fridays. I tend to have a short attention span and I find these videos short and to the point with great insight.
Wew new video
Great video Nico! Loving the 5 Min Fridays.
excellent
Just stumbled on this series - great idea and awesome topics!
Nice!
Love this series and your work Nick!! Cheers!
Great series!! Really great for some outreach!
Bringing back 5 min Fridays would be rad not gonna lie
I've been thinking about it. Might do another season later this year. I'd need to find some time to knock out a bunch. The reason I stopped is I fell behind and then they became the only videos I was working on.
@@NebulaPhotos Makes sense, they're meant to be supplementary and not take over. Balance is hard, but if it worked out it would be a fun series
Love this series! Thanks a lot! c:
Loving these series!
love this series!
As always, great content and interesting info. That’s a challenge I’d like to take in as well. Clear skies!
