      As one who has done the same, as well as having viewed the Milky Way many times with my naked eyes as a young boy (long before light pollution) you just look up at the heavens, take a deep breath and say to yourself, "and I thought my opinion mattered"... You feel so small, like the dirt under the thumb of a greater being. And, you wondering if anyone is watching back...

    I used to live in a farm in a true dark-sky area and sit out half the night on a pool-recliner, watching the night sky with the scope or binocs. Nothing like it. I just got sick of coming inside half drained of blood from mosquitoes. These days I'm content to just 'send my name' on NASA space missions and know it's up there on Mars, on an asteroid and way out past Pluto and also to watch guys like you provide such inspiring images with much better equipment than I could ever own. Thanks.

    My friend has a 10” Schmidt. He was using it for solar viewing, with special filters to allow him to take pictures of the sun. When Hale Bopp flew over we brought it to the desert west of Phoenix and got a really good look at the comet. I also too, my 4” reflector out, but when we were setting it up the pinion gear stripped off the ring gears teeth and we lost it. I wrote a letter to the President of Meade and he personally sent out another scope with upgraded eyepieces. He was a really nice guy!

    When I was young all I used to do was watch space documentaries, what would bore others would blow me away ..... I used to look up at the night sky and just get lost in this deep thinking of everything that’s out there and what it means etc I always wanted a telescope when I was younger till this day I still want one when I come home from a late night out and the sky is clear as day I tend to look up and just get this overwhelming sensation of stress , stress because I’ll never be able to truly understand space and it’s great depth! I get chills every time I look up . I remember when I went up north I live in Wisconsin so north is like the country side with no light pollution I remember at night all the starts shined brighter then ever and they seemed to be much closer I was amazed I couldn’t take my eyes out of the sky I got this overwhelming sensation of joy I wanted to tear up I always wanted to see the night sky like that now imagine if I got to be next to this man watching mars through tht telescope I think I shed a little tear man do I love space

      I feel the exact same way. Looking at the spiral arms of the whirlpool galaxy one time got me thinking if there is perhaps some being out there looking back at us. Perhaps one of the stars in the sky has a planet orbiting around it with beings on it living through their daily struggles and joys same as us, wondering about whats out there and looking up to the stars and dreaming same as us. This thought gives me a strange feeling of unity. That even though we dont even know if life is out there or not, what kind of life there is, they are looking into the same universe as us.

They are taken from radio waves and converted into a round little ball of rock thats gonna save us from ourselves because we are smart enough to make up fairy tales about infinite space and fly to a planet that has nothing but not smart enough to tell when we are being lied to or used for negativity because we're not taught how to think but what to think.

      back then it was a cheap 110mm Newton which was only for visual use. Used a 3x Barlow and some eyepiece (not sure what the Specs for it were) and you could easily see the rings and even some moons of Saturn! :)
      I've since upgraded to a quality Refractor telescope for Astrophotography :)
      Though my next telescope for (some) planets/galaxies will either be a bigger Newton 200-250mm or a RC to really go deep, but that wont happen before 2025/2026 as I'm perfectly Happy with my refractor and still have tons of stuff I want to image 🎉

    Ahh, the Sky Watcher EQ8, what a beauty. I had the Orion Telescope clone (HDX 110) and absolutely loved it but it was such a monster to set up and without the assistance of EQmod it just wasn't up to the task of long exposures. But it was extremely stable and really worked well carrying big heavy scopes. I can still hear the strange sound it makes when the clutches engage during a slew :). Always wanted an 11 inch Edge SCT but I can't pull myself from refractors now that I have moved up to really good ones. The 40 year old Meade LX200 10 inch (my second scope chronologically) comes out once in a while but it just doesn't compare to a good large refractor IMO. Be careful, the hobby can suck you in and soon you have more invested in glass than in your cars. Nice videos by the way. Great for folks getting started. Keep up the good work.

      He doesn't have guiding turned on in FireCapture, but it doesn't mean he's not using something like PHD2... Not sure how effective PHD2 would be though. The guiding in FireCapture is likely to be much better as its using the target to guide with.
      I can keep Jupiter in a 350x350 ROI for a good 15mins on a basic iOptron CEM25p without guiding...
      With FireCapture guiding I can go the whole night without having to touch a thing.

      That's less of a tech issue and more of a scale issue, the problem is that the focal length (zoom) required to see it just physically requires a large telescope no matter how you tweek the design, it's a hard limitation of optics rather than tech perse, even if you did something like interferometry you'd still need multiple telescopes and the hardware to make them work together, and a truly monster PC to coordinate it all and process the image, that might get more possible but will still need multiple large expensive hobby grade telescopes
