Glad your dad is doing better and was warmed by dedicating the great image to him. In this video you managed to combine leisure, technical details, essential logistics, pure fun, friendship and appreciation of great family values. Even though in some instances the camera went out of focus, overall the videography was great. And needless to say, the astro-photography was excellent. Thumbs up obviously
I am sure everything you see on this video is how Trevor intended it to be. No camera went out of focus by itself. Good job Trevor. I love astronomy but here in New York I don't know where to go. Your videos give out this feeling of being there too. All the best to your dad too!
@Miss linnnxyleaf - Probably flat-earth nutjobs? They have to PRETEND that there is some biblical "firmament" over the Earth, and that therefore all stars, galaxies - even space itself! - is a lie. So to them, this beautiful experience is incomprehensible and probably "satanic". LOL. They are pathetically stupid.
I loved this video - especially the part where you dedicate the photo of Andromeda to your Dad - I've just returned to astronomy after retiring from three decades in spacecraft propulsion. I was corporate webmaster for Aerojet General. My father worked at the same company I did and we both got three decades and some change in before we retired. Dad is gone now and I've designed my observatory which will be built this year and dedicated and named after him. I hope your Dad is doing well - Just remember time passes quickly and say everything you want to be said because there are no guaranteed tomorrows. I'm very impressed with that William Optics Zenithstar 61 - Great scope and I know what I'll be saving my nickles and dimes for ;>)
Brilliant, moving video, Trevor. I'm really enjoying your astro imaging journey, gives me great encouragement on my own astrophotography endeavors. I'm truly delighted that your Dad is doing well. Jason.
This is the first video I watched from this channel. From a young age I had always been into astronomy, but I never really did much with the hobby besides the occasional excursion to catch meteor showers or read up on astronomy news. When I watched this video for the first time, I had just gotten home after a couple hours watching the Perseids. Unexpectedly, a spark was lit to ignite the fuel for the passion I now have for this amazing hobby. The way Trevor manages to capture the experience and emotions felt while observing or capturing the night sky is nothing short of inspiring. Shortly after, I purchased my first telescope and developed a connection with the night sky I had not realized was possible. Now, nearly 5 years later, I’m 2 months into my DSO astrophotography journey and I’m enjoying astronomy now more than ever.
I simply cannot get over how beautiful that image of M31 is from such a small telescope. I bet your dad was proud. I hope he is doing well since his surgery.
One of the best channel of this category I've come across. It has got all from every meticulous details for the nerds to overall good videography and content for the less interested in astrophotography.
I really loved this vid man. Literally made my day. Lost my pop one year ago and really wished I could have taken a pic of Andromeda for him. I did get him out (he was 94) to see Saturn and Jupiter the summer before he passed and that was a very cool moment. Great pic and thanks for the tips. I've got a Meade 12" LX600 and am hoping I can do what you did. Great stuff!
last bit made me nearly cry man, i lost grandad last year who was pretty much my father and he loved space, just something about that little bit hit me hard man
ascoughh I'm starting out as well. Watch this guy, and Forest Tanaka's videos on beginner astrophotography. You can buy an entry level camera and be fine with the kit lens it comes with for just starting to learn. The Nikon D3300 is what I started out with, and with the 18-55mm f/3.5 lens it comes with you can take good photos of the milky way. Of course with a faster lens, you can take better photos, but if you're just starting out the kit lens will do fine. On down the road you should invest in a German eq mount. The best one for the price is the Advanced VX mount by Celestron (800 on amazon, or 900 with a 6 inch newtonian.. get the newtonian, you can then start learning hiw to do deep sky imaging.) So for about 400, you can start learning how to photo graph the night sky, where celestial bodies are, learn to use your camera in more ways than just astrophotography. It won't take long if you're dedicated! Visit the astrophotography forum also, they have a lot of great tips and budget equipment for people just starting this hobby.
i'm interested too in astrophotography and currently planning to buy a telescope, i am wondering what have you been able to observe and photograph so far, just to know what will i be able to do with it because i'm planning in buying a similar telescope
I have no idea about what a good telescope consist of, but I would love to get into this hobby. I'd love to see andromeda with the naked eye, and other jaw dropping objects from space but I know nothing about the focal lenses, what is good and what to steer away from. It's so complex
Awww Brother you had me welling up when you said about your Father being in hospital recovering from his Heart Surgery. Beautiful sentiments/comments bro. Amazing pic of Andromeda Galaxy. Top vids as always Trevor. Thank-You.
@@rapturedpassage Because the Andromeda galaxy is a little over 2 million light years away from us. So it takes light coming from the andromeda galaxy 2 million years to reach us. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second, so 1 light year is how many miles light travels in 1 year. The universe is so big astronomers had to use a larger scale to measure distances in the universe. When you look at the andromeda galaxy today with a telescope you are looking at 2 million year old light. If you are really into this stuff, study up on Einstien theory of relativity. Actually everything in space is from the past, even our sun light takes 8 minutes to reach us, so when you look at the sun it is 8 minute old light.
The music, storytelling, the end result - everything was perfect! I'm sold, subscribed. BTW That beer, "Żywiec" is IMO pretty crappy, you should try other polish brands :).
Manny Calavera funny because of the two polish beers I tried (zwieck and tyskie) I actually loved the zwieck more. The bottle looks different although, it's a white and reddish label with a think a temp indicator light blue strip.
Amazing! You have inspired me to seriously pursue astrophotography. I have watched all your videos in 2 days(while at work) Imagine the possibilities...
Congrats on the WO Zenithstar! I have the WO 72 Megrez and its really great! The first Picture I took with it was also M31 and the final print of it was my Present to my Father on Christmas last year...he was so proud :-))) Those "small" Scopes are so much fun :-) Thanks for taking us on a short trip around the Scene,and its good to hear your Dad is doing better!Best whishes to Him! Great Work,keep doing it! Greetings from germany,Marc
That was so beautiful....Not only the picture of my favorite galaxy, but that you dedicated it to your Dad. That really touched my heart...In fact, the best video on you tube in my opinion for very obvious reasons. You are a great son.
14:25 I actually got emotional and almost teared up. Im not even sure why. I guess it’s just so shocking and beautiful to know that places like that are actually up there. Inconceivable.
I've watched several of your videos now and I have learned more about astrophotography in the past few weeks from your videos than any other videos I've watched on youtube on this topic. Keep sharing your passion and knowledge for astrophotography. I myself, after years of dreaming about an astrophotography rig, have finally got one. Starting out with a 6" Mak newt and Sky Watcher EQ6-R mount. You're videos have helped me get started on the right foot and I can't wait to get my feet wet imaging. Keep sharing your passion for the night sky.
Wow this is sooo beautiful! Today is exactly 5 years ago that my father passed away. I am just starting to use a telescope. It really touched me that you dedicate such a beautiful picture to your father.
Great video - the end had me in tears as my Mum recently passed and you walking down that corridor and seeing your Dad in good health and the first thing him asking about your photo :D Trying to work my way through web pages and videos to get my first gear and start learning...thanks for the help :)
I had to come back over a year later and leave this comment. Trevor I know there is no way you will ever be back to read this. But if for some reason you do find your way to this, Thankyou! This video and that picture is what got me interested in astrophotography. When you said that your dad asked if you got a good picture and showed that andromeda picture my heart started beating a little faster and I felt the urge I still feel today rush over me. They way you treat your dog and the strangers that walked up to take a look let me know you are one of the few and far between. I wish some how i could show you what you have inspired in me. And let you see how it has changed my life for the better. I am so glad i stopped on this video over a year ago and got to see this. I'm glad your dad got better as well bud. Again thank you! And clear skys. All the best Astro Joe.
That picture of andromeda sends chills down my spine. More than likely there is another race of intelligent beings in andromeda that looks up at the night sky and sees the Milky Way too.
@@edenfeledrum1540 Get a Orion StarBlast 2 telescope it has good zoom and is 180$ it's a good beginner telescope.. with the lens it's comes with you can see alot of star clusters nebulas and other galaxy's even but you can get better eye pieces which will increase the zoom.
In areas with darker skies, if you knew where to look, you can see it by looking off center of its location. It's a fuzzy patch of light for the naked eye. I've heard that in the darkest sky sights, the core of Andromeda is apparent to the naked eye straight on. :)
It is so amazing to me that the images of the stars out there are the past of them. Like, he took a picture of the Andromeda galaxy but we're actually looking at how it looked 2.4 million years ago. It's just amazing and mind-blowing.
of course your dad is doing great with an incredible son like you. I have looked at Andromeda with my inadequate scope and i have never seen it so beautiful
@@annanishikinomiya2765 I have this on my music playlist and Everytime I hear it I just remember this video and just gives me... That wonderfull felling of a per that took time to take a good picture and for somebody else to make some good music
Oh man, almost cried a little at the end. lol... Amazing picture, and I'm glad your dad is doing well! Also, I have been lucky enough to give a few people their first views through the scope, and you are right, it is a very rewarding/heartwarming feeling. Like giving a gift and receiving one at the same time. So far I haven't met anyone who wasn't amazed their first time, even when I only had a cheap little scope.
It will take a few billion years to collide with the Milky Way,but theres a possibility that there will still be life because of advance civilization,people in the future might create a thing that gives you everlasting life........
You people are fools. A galaxy has gravity pull the same way as our star in it's solar system. And this gravity pull "prevents" other element or entity with the same gravity to collide to each other. The same happens to our cluster and to the next cluster and so on. Look at our cluster for example, which is a whirlpool looking, ever wonder why? It's because of the same gravity pull! Fucking use your brain potato heads.
I love your passion for this genre in photography and I am just starting to realise how addictive this genre can be, I did dip my toes in to astro many moons ago parden the pun with my first newtonian 6" tube and managed to see Jupiter for the first time, I remembered how that made me feel, sunday just gone I got my first images of the Andromeda and I cannot tell you how that made me feel, a giddy school kid again at 54. your images inspire me, your videos inspire me, thank you sir for all your hard work in helping and passing on valuable information so it does not get lost in history like some skill have. This is a skill and an art and you transfer the knowledge perfectly, I try to on my channel but nowhere near as good as you, hats off to you. I look forward to viewing all your videos, I better get off now otherwise ill start sounding like a stalker lol.
You guys do know that the galaxy of andromeda is coming straight for ours right and its not gonna get maybe until 2060s or sum but theres gonna be a supernova some time😁
I just bought the Zenithstar 61 with the field flattener and the Star Adventurer Pro. I also have the new Iso invariant Fuji XT4. Took my first shots of the Cygnus region with the North American nebula centre stage. I'm blown away by my first rookie attempts. I have a huge amount to learn, especially on the post-processing side, but I have no excuse for failure. The tracker performed impeccably and as you say, the scope is beautiful. Your videos are inspiring me to learn and get out there. Thank you.
Glory be to God for His beautiful creation and the talent He has given you to capture such stunning images, and Most Especially that your Daddy is home and doing well. God bless all of you. Looks like He always does
Yeah no, you can't attribute anything to this god of yours until you actually provide evidence of its existence. So until that happens, it's all the work of the laws of physics.
How to degrade space-time from an elegant mathematical and physical beauty into a "creation" of an immoral evil being named god. You are taking reality as you see it from a lens and corrupting it with your false interpretations instead of letting it be as it is. It's funny how all the laws of astronomy were derived by just looking and by doing the same thing all you do is put it in a drawer under the label of god and not question or even try to explain it "because we all know god did it".
Petros Oratiou You make it seem like believing in God is a bad thing - anyone should be able to believe in whatever they please without being judged by it. I definitely don’t believe in god and as a scientist, although I personally don’t think the idea of there being a God should be taken extremely seriously in the scientific community, I still think that (although no evidence), it is still a possibility - just like the Many Worlds Interpretation in QM. I don’t mean to offend you or anything, but just chill out man 😂😂, this nice lady just blessed you and you’re reply was just so rude - I’m sure you didn’t mean it to be - and I understand that You perhaps want everyone to see the beauty of mathematics and science (as do I), but I think you should be less critical of things like people just saying “God” in their comments. Anyway, have a nice day though😀
Hi Trevor, I am a French astrophotographer from France. I really liked your movie ! it was plenty of poetry and good feelings about your Dad ! i am happy for you that he's come home ! go on doing such a good astroreporting ! Thank u
I look back at this video, and i still think this is my most favorite video on youtube. This video is what got me fully into astrophotography, and even thought it is almost 3 years old, I still look back on it sometimes. Thank you for inspiring me to be able to do this, I would never trade it for a different hobby.
Man looking at these pictures is so amazing to me. It makes me want to be an astrophysicist and be able to look at space every night. It’s something I could talk and ask questions about for hours. Thanks for posting this, real inspiring.
Of all the channels I watch. From makers, to gamers, people living "that life" and millionaires. It's your channel and what you do that makes me the most envious and stirs me the most. I wish I was able to do what you do. But the weather in Britain is always like 80% clouds it seems.
It's crazy and mind-blowing to think that the Andromeda Galaxy you see in your telescope is actually the Andromeda Galaxy 2.5 million years ago, since Andromeda is 2.5 million light years away, it also takes that much time for it's light to travel to Earth. So in a sense, you are actually looking back in time.

@@cardboardguy1444 how do you get into that sort of stuff. I really want to learn more about this
@@edenfeledrum1540 Get a Orion StarBlast 2 telescope it has good zoom and is 180$ it's a good beginner telescope.. with the lens it's comes with you can see alot of star clusters nebulas and other galaxy's even but you can get better eye pieces which will increase the zoom.
@@cardboardguy1444 thank you :)
@@cardboardguy1444 Don't use the terminology 'Zoom' it isn't correct, use magnification and resolution.
Your best video yet Trevor. Keep up the great work.
Hi Trevor, did you used only 2min exposures, no shorter ones? Wasnt core of andromeda to bright? Thanks for inspiration!
That was amazing. Incredible moment you captured there. You made your Dad proud. Keep up the good work!
i have never seen the andromeda galaxy not for the want of trying
In areas with darker skies, if you knew where to look, you can see it by looking off center of its location. It's a fuzzy patch of light for the naked eye.
I've heard that in the darkest sky sights, the core of Andromeda is apparent to the naked eye straight on. :)
you can see it with your naked eye :) that clearly tells it's in the sky (ofc it's 2017 and we know space if fake :))
FlatEarth Photography haha! Space is fake my ass. Earth is flat my ass. (I hope you are joking otherwise take the rest of my comment seriously)
FlatEarth Photography lol you made my day
It's near the Orion's belt
Videos are getting better and better, keep up the great work!
Tell your Dad you love him. I lost mine and I can't tell him anymore :(
It is so amazing to me that the images of the stars out there are the past of them. Like, he took a picture of the Andromeda galaxy but we're actually looking at how it looked 2.4 million years ago. It's just amazing and mind-blowing.
Well, you did your job. I bought a WO 61!
Film Etiquette Hi, looking at getting to 61 or maybe the GT71...How has the 61 been for you? Would be interested in your review :0)
Who in their right mind would give this Extremely Enjoyable video a thumbs down !?!???
Thank you for making it.
Great video, just gained a subscriber.
of course your dad is doing great with an incredible son like you. I have looked at Andromeda with my inadequate scope and i have never seen it so beautiful
11:40 that crowd saw the moon for the first time? They ought to get out more! lol
I came here just for the picture but wow, the video is definitely worth watching. The last minutes were heartwarming. I'm amazed.
13:44 this music astronaut make me cry 😭
Anna nishikinomiya same 😢
GaCy SeDiaZ dream come true😥
@@annanishikinomiya2765 I have this on my music playlist and Everytime I hear it I just remember this video and just gives me... That wonderfull felling of a per that took time to take a good picture and for somebody else to make some good music
Julien Rodriguez What is the name of the song? :))
The song is Lights and Motion : The Last of Us
Oh man, almost cried a little at the end. lol... Amazing picture, and I'm glad your dad is doing well! Also, I have been lucky enough to give a few people their first views through the scope, and you are right, it is a very rewarding/heartwarming feeling. Like giving a gift and receiving one at the same time. So far I haven't met anyone who wasn't amazed their first time, even when I only had a cheap little scope.
Na Zdrowie!
mały Polski akcent :)
Dziękuję.
:))
VALERA youre idiot.
glad to hear your dad is recovering well. love the picture.
best vlog ever.. subbed
I love how older pups are all calm until you get them at the lake and all a sudden youth pup comes to life.
No such thing as blessing.
Its a opportunity
Rudy is the STAR of the show. "Dude, I get dibs on the air mattress. Where you gonna sleep?"
felicitaciones y los mejores deseos para tu padre !
Hope your dad is doing really great, lots of love for all of your family members.
Is it true that Andromeda will collide with Milky way? Its too good to be true 😍😍😍
yes but by that time life on earth would have been extinct for a few million years so we got other problems lool
Billion*
Yes....
It will take a few billion years to collide with the Milky Way,but theres a possibility that there will still be life because of advance civilization,people in the future might create a thing that gives you everlasting life........
You people are fools. A galaxy has gravity pull the same way as our star in it's solar system. And this gravity pull "prevents" other element or entity with the same gravity to collide to each other. The same happens to our cluster and to the next cluster and so on. Look at our cluster for example, which is a whirlpool looking, ever wonder why? It's because of the same gravity pull! Fucking use your brain potato heads.
I love your passion for this genre in photography and I am just starting to realise how addictive this genre can be, I did dip my toes in to astro many moons ago parden the pun with my first newtonian 6" tube and managed to see Jupiter for the first time, I remembered how that made me feel, sunday just gone I got my first images of the Andromeda and I cannot tell you how that made me feel, a giddy school kid again at 54. your images inspire me, your videos inspire me, thank you sir for all your hard work in helping and passing on valuable information so it does not get lost in history like some skill have. This is a skill and an art and you transfer the knowledge perfectly, I try to on my channel but nowhere near as good as you, hats off to you. I look forward to viewing all your videos, I better get off now otherwise ill start sounding like a stalker lol.
You guys do know that the galaxy of andromeda is coming straight for ours right and its not gonna get maybe until 2060s or sum but theres gonna be a supernova some time😁
It's going to hit us in the 4 500 000 000s not like 40 years from now
Ya like he said, around 4 billion years. The human race will likely be gone by then though
@@germanintelligenceCIA I don't think so.
Lucifer's son ? Wishful thinking is good, I guess...
@@germanintelligenceCIA yep
I just bought the Zenithstar 61 with the field flattener and the Star Adventurer Pro. I also have the new Iso invariant Fuji XT4. Took my first shots of the Cygnus region with the North American nebula centre stage. I'm blown away by my first rookie attempts. I have a huge amount to learn, especially on the post-processing side, but I have no excuse for failure. The tracker performed impeccably and as you say, the scope is beautiful. Your videos are inspiring me to learn and get out there. Thank you.
Glory be to God for His beautiful creation and the talent He has given you to capture such stunning images, and Most Especially that your Daddy is home and doing well. God bless all of you. Looks like He always does
Yeah no, you can't attribute anything to this god of yours until you actually provide evidence of its existence.
So until that happens, it's all the work of the laws of physics.
Galaxies have no divine purpose.
How to degrade space-time from an elegant mathematical and physical beauty into a "creation" of an immoral evil being named god. You are taking reality as you see it from a lens and corrupting it with your false interpretations instead of letting it be as it is. It's funny how all the laws of astronomy were derived by just looking and by doing the same thing all you do is put it in a drawer under the label of god and not question or even try to explain it "because we all know god did it".
Petros Oratiou You make it seem like believing in God is a bad thing - anyone should be able to believe in whatever they please without being judged by it. I definitely don’t believe in god and as a scientist, although I personally don’t think the idea of there being a God should be taken extremely seriously in the scientific community, I still think that (although no evidence), it is still a possibility - just like the Many Worlds Interpretation in QM. I don’t mean to offend you or anything, but just chill out man 😂😂, this nice lady just blessed you and you’re reply was just so rude - I’m sure you didn’t mean it to be - and I understand that You perhaps want everyone to see the beauty of mathematics and science (as do I), but I think you should be less critical of things like people just saying “God” in their comments. Anyway, have a nice day though😀
Amen. Praise GOD and all his glorious creations
Just speachless.... Breath taking. Hope your dad is doing well.
Wow, that picture you made for your dad moved me! Thank you so much! 🙏
Wow!! what a beautiful image! My wife just bought me an ad8 for Christmas as my first step into this amazing hobby. I'm so excited!
As a small ambient producer, love love love your music choices. Not too often I see these guys on big videos :)
Trevor I say again, I really like your episode outings and how you explain how to! Thumbs Up!
I wasn't expecting to be moved to tears by an astrophotography video. *subscribes*
Wow. Like seriously wow. I had to stop the video for a good 2 minutes and stare at that in utter awe, incredible!
I honestly have no words. Breathtaking is an understatement!!!!
Hi Trevor,
I am a French astrophotographer from France.
I really liked your movie ! it was plenty of poetry and good feelings about your Dad ! i am happy for you that he's come home !
go on doing such a good astroreporting !
Thank u
I look back at this video, and i still think this is my most favorite video on youtube. This video is what got me fully into astrophotography, and even thought it is almost 3 years old, I still look back on it sometimes.
Thank you for inspiring me to be able to do this, I would never trade it for a different hobby.
Man looking at these pictures is so amazing to me. It makes me want to be an astrophysicist and be able to look at space every night. It’s something I could talk and ask questions about for hours. Thanks for posting this, real inspiring.
Of all the channels I watch. From makers, to gamers, people living "that life" and millionaires. It's your channel and what you do that makes me the most envious and stirs me the most. I wish I was able to do what you do. But the weather in Britain is always like 80% clouds it seems.
It's crazy and mind-blowing to think that the Andromeda Galaxy you see in your telescope is actually the Andromeda Galaxy 2.5 million years ago, since Andromeda is 2.5 million light years away, it also takes that much time for it's light to travel to Earth.
So in a sense, you are actually looking back in time.
yup
What an end result, I am just starting out and your videos inspire me, glad your father is on the mend too. Looking forward to your next video. (UK)
