- On this return trip to Izu-Atagawa, my intention was to visually observe Milky Way targets using Electronic Assisted Astronomy (EAA) for sky navigation. I also took multiple photographs with the SEESTAR S50 smart telescope, getting surprisingly nice results under the Bortle Class 4 skies. EAA also made it simple to identify a group of geostationary satellites that I imaged on my prior visit; confirming their existence and location. This small seaside town has become one of my favorite dark sky destinations for Astrophotography.

Lovely presentation. With limited time available the Seestar has been a game changer without breaking the bank balance.
Indeed that is true. I hope to play around with it more! Thanks for watching Astrophotography Japan. Clear skies!
Hi Paul
Thank you for your entertaining video with pleasant background information.
I think doing visual astronomy under a dark starlit night with all the sounds of the night, in your case with the relaxing sound of the waves,
is one of the nicest things there are.
Thanks for sharing.

Not only do we have the same name, but I guess we think alike! Thanks for watching! PAUL
Another great video! Thank you for sharing.
And thank you for watching, Matthias! Cheers!
Another wonderful astronomy journey. This is my kind of astronomy, messing around and trying out and learning a lot from my experiences. Not about chasing the optimal result, but all about interesting fun and chasing the optimal learning experience. 😊
Thanks Arvid, it is satisfying to know that people like you "get it". I love pursuing some beautiful deep sky images too, but this hobby has a lot more to offer besides that..... There are a lot of curiosities up there that are worthwhile investigating and learning about. And I don`t need to spend a fortune on high-end gear to do that.. Also, enjoying this hobby/pursuit in exotic & beautiful natural settings is tremendously fun and satisfying for me at this time in my life. I am happy to share these travel adventures! Thanks for your interest and support. Best wishes and clear skies!
Great vedio.. Enjoying to see it. Compose beautifully 👍.
Thank you kindly for the compliment. You would also probably like Episode 32, I suspect. Best wishes and clear skies! PAUL
@@jpastroguysure will see episode 32.
love your intellectual curiosity and above all the very organic way of presenting the videos !
I am still debating the seestar Vs sky watcher alt az GTi in 150/600 flavour virtuoso ... paired to a 585 which I already own should provide a nice system to travel with...
Thanks Alex. I am happy to hear that you "connect" with my video style and content. I personally like these scattered travel videos the best; although, they get less views than pure astrophotography or simple product reviews. SeeStar is tempting. I am sure you will make the best decision based on your experience and motivations. Clear skies!
@@jpastroguy shame about the views ... I enjoy your style of travel and astro with a hefty dose of nerdism coupled with a healthy mix of science
the thing about the virtuoso is that I can also work it with my 135 F2 or 70-200 2.8 with my r7 ... so it leaves plenty of choice even if only alt az ...
ah well ... I could also save up for a Umi lite ...
