    When I was a kid, in Denmark, I could so often see Orion from my bedroom window at night and it was somehow always majestic. I now live in Australia and while Orion is now upside-down, I spot him as an old friend.

      The Creation of the Universe:
      Allah the Exalted said: Have not those who disbelieved seen that heaven and earth were one solid mass, whereupon We divided them and made all living things of water? Don't you want to believe? (Translation of Sura 21 Verse 30)
      This verse explicitly mentions the common origin of the entire universe, a fact that was only discovered about forty years ago with the help of "nuclear physics". The separation mentioned in the verse seems to refer to what scientists today refer to as the "Big Bang." Also, as the verse also mentions, all living things are made up of protoplasm, which is 80 to 85 percent water.
      Allah the Exalted said: Thereupon Allah turned to the sky which was (then) of (formless) smoke (or mist) and said to it and to the earth: "Come here, willingly or unwillingly!" They said: "We come voluntarily". So He (Allah) completed them as seven heavens in two times, and in each heaven He assigned its task. And We adorned the lowest heaven with lights (stars) (which are also) for protection. This is the creation of the Supreme, the All-Knowing. (Translation of Sura 41 Verse 11-12)
      At the time the Qur'an was revealed, the word "space" was unknown and everything above the earth was called "heaven".
      The word "smoke" aptly describes the primordial state of the universe, which consisted of hot, gaseous matter whose gaseous particles moved like clouds of smoke. From this matter the stars, the planets and the earth were formed.
      Allah the Exalted said: We have created the sky (the universe) with (Our) power, and see how We are (constantly) expanding it! (Translation of Sura 51 Verse 47)
      It is now a generally accepted fact that we live in an expanding universe.

    My career was in crime scene investigation and low light photography was always a challenge. Camera shake was a problem. The lens cap covering technique is one method, but there are two others that can reduce camera shake from wind. First is to lower the tripod head so that you don’t have the camera sitting at the end of the pole. The second is to not extend the legs all the way and to only use the heavy extensions of the legs. Hope this helps!

    A lot of people don't understand how much we can't see because of light pollution, I didn't either.
    I was in Lapland through the Finnish army. In Lapland, in the middle of a forest, far from cities. It was amazing how many stars I saw in the sky that week. You see exactly as in the pictures on the Discovery channels.
    The best memories were when I was on guard duty alone at night, in the winter forest. The nights were mostly spent looking at the stars. I also became familiar with all constellations such as the Big Dipper and learned where they are located. After this experience, I have understood why people hundreds or thousands of years ago admired and studied space. Unfortunately, since the army, I haven't experienced a moment without light pollution.

Also, I saw several satellites passing through and a couple of times the International Space Station. It's absolutely awesome! 😃 I've been to Bortle 4 darksky area once. It was rather a quick experience, but that was the first time I saw a satellite clearly and effortlessly.

    I have actually captured a few long-exposure shots of the starry sky with my Galaxy S9 (but I also have S8 which takes nicer photos) about 2-3 months ago. The exposures were either 4 or 10 seconds long (not many options on a phone).
    I used a small phone tripod AND the way I snapped the photos was with voice-activation ("Cheese"), so there was no shaking.
    Another way to prevent shaking is to use the countdown timer function which most phones and many cameras have.
    Though the pictures look really nice, I am well aware of how much better they would look with larger lens (phone vs. a DSLR camera).

      I commented elsewhere about a home-built tracker. There is a Wiki page on it with a plans link, but that thing's an over-engineered abomination!...and I would not recommend building it!
      There are HD Photo apps available that will allow you to do long exposures. One I picked without any research is just named "HD Camera", and it allows 3, 5, 15, 30 sec, and Bulb. Bulb, or infinity, means you open the shutter and you close the shutter. I intend to play with it at night when I finish my current project and have time to draw and 3D print a phone holder I can use with my non-motorized tracker.
      Perhaps you, too, would enjoy such an adventure!

    Just a tip for anyone wanting to use an entry level mount, or even if you’re using more professional equipment. Try taking many shorter exposure images instead of a handful of longer ones. Taking 1000 5 second exposure shots is better than 42 2 minute exposures. Less issues with the mount’s imperfect tracking will be seen in the photo and if you use lucky imaging, photos with worse atmospheric wobble can be removed.

    Thanks for this amazing video. Love it! for the equipment you use it really really great result. I just started to be really interested of astro and just waiting for good weather so i could give it a shot and make a video, but so far NOT so good, only clouds and hard wind for like two weeks now 😅 - Wish me luck! 🍀

    hey love this video, it made me really think about getting into this. i have a cannon t6 rebel and want to get into astrophotography, do you have a video where you go over settings you use for your camera or do you recommend a video or settings that you use.

    Nice work. With M31, take some short exposures of the core, then layer and blend them in PS or PhotoPea.

    Amazing! Astronomy newbie here, at 65 years old. I/We are generally dawn to dusk people, but my wife was just offered an Orion Starblast 4.5 EQ for less than half retail from a friend. She bought it for $100, so after a couple of days and nights tinkering with it to calibrate the thing (and a couple of days researching to find out what it might really do), I'm doing more research, thus why I'm here. Eventually, I'll likely be using it for photographs. With the 25mm lens (the 10mm is missing), viewing 20 mile distant and inverted Blanca Peak from our window is fantastic. I pointed to the peak to center the red dot sight. So far, so good. The moon is waning and mostly gone without better optics, and the low powered optic is basically a sighting tool. Unlikely to see detail with any planet. I bought a planisphere today to see the daily graph of what might be in the sky for viewing. I don't know that a new hobby on an off grid homestead is what I would have entertained, but what I've found so far is amazing. We're smaller than a grain of sand on a grain of sand in the universe. Why not explore?

      ...Two months later, and we now have an Orion XT8 Dobsobnian. I just collimated it, and if the high hazy clouds blow out, I'll be out in the cold at 8,800 feet in the Rockies, with a grin on my face.

    Un par de veces me había dado curiosidad la astronomía, pero al final siempre terminaba decepcionado por las cosas que se podían ver con telescopios en un rango menor a 100USD (es lo máximo que puedo gastar). Pero hoy al ver la foto que tomaste con el Sky Watcher + la Cámara DSLR pa verdad me ha dejado extremadamente sorprendido. Jamás me imaginé que eso fuera posible con una cámara, sobretodo por que yo tengo una Canon 7D con varios lentes.
    Gracias a ti, ahora pensaré en comprar un Sky Watcher y así poder tomar fotos asombrosas por mi cuenta.
    Gracias!!!
