Wow! Thanks for all that. Quite a number of memories produced there. I met Harvey Stephens at an autograph event, before I made this film though. I was very tempted to fly the drone in Grosvenor Square, but imagined I would be arrested before I even landed it. I stuck to the regulations.

@@astroroadshow Yeah, given my experience, I think you would definitely be arrested. Harvey's a great guy. I was a boxer when I was younger,and I'm still involved with the sport. I commented to Harvey how looked in good shape. He told me he had been boxing training for a year or two and was a boxing fan. So ge wanted to know about my years in the ring, albeit in the amateur's. I also met David Warner on a couple of occasions. He too was a lovely guy. We talked about a convention panel I'd seen with him and Malcolm McDowell, for their movie, Time after time. And how McDowell was acting like a total d@ck in front of the audience. He also talked about Gregory Peck and what a great guy he was. He actually referred to him as "The Great Man"

Thanks. I just happen to be looking at the right place, right moment with an image intensifier in my hand.

Pardon? Stick to points ands facts please, not waffle about nothing specific.

I've never recorded myself going to the toilet. Very strange indeed.

Yes you can see more, down an extra magnitude or more. Even as the sky is getting dark and only see perhaps 30 stars or so, looking through the SiOnyx, several hundred can be seen.

@@astroroadshow Thank you for your answer. I am going to get one soon!

@@pepperonihead The Aurora Sport (cheapest) has the same recording chip as the Aurora Black and the Aurora Action. Only the Pro has a superior recording chip. I have both and there is a fairly big difference between the Sport and the Pro regarding quality of the image and sensitivity.

Thanks. I will produce a slightly more expanded version of this later - two more locations to add.

Thanks Roy. I will include close-up shots of Prominences and the Corona too in the future edition. I just haven't the time at the moment.

Ohh wow. You are full of surprises. I made this film long before I had any editing software. I have watched some of your films too. We are off to USA on Tuesday for the Eclipse. Back later in April. Perhaps we can meet up for a drink somewhere after for a proper chat... Pete

@@astroroadshow yes that would be lovely, have a great trip , I’m sure you will have a great time , I look forward to a chat and hearing all about it. Just another point about channel tunnel I worked on the construction for 6 years, it’s been a big part of my life. Take care and enjoy.

Wow thanks for that. My wife and I wil be back there after seeing the Eclipse on 8th April. I want to show her the Apollo Grover on N. Gemini Drive.

I think they show the same stars that 7x35 binoculars would pick up, but without the magnification. Hope that helps.

A rocket casing that was discarded on way to delivering a satellite into geo-stationary orbit? Perhaps I will never know for sure. Next clear night in UK, I will do a search to the SW to see if I can pick it up from here. Kneedle in a haystack, but it won't cost anything, just a little time. I know it's just as flashing dot, but normally I can offer an explanation, not this time.

Ohh wow. I never cease to be surprised by replies from total strangers to me. Thank you for your time and sharing. i hope someday to fly my drone closer to the house and expand this film a little further. As mentioned, the high outside wall prevents the drone signal and there doesn't seem to be a safe launch site further out to fly it across. All privacy regulations have been adhered to.

Thanks for your comment. Yes an Omen 3 version would be great. I am retiring in 15 months, I intend to produce more such location movies, your suggestion would be a good one. 'Its a mad mad world' is on my list also... all around the Los Angeles area. I have 'droned' that crazy road at the begining for starters. It starts at Palm desert, NE of LA.

Thanks, I didn't know that. In return, I made a short film on the Isle of Wight that briefly included her Spice Girls Bus... ruclips.net/video/c99wkohGmA4/видео.html

That is a shame. I believe there is just guy operating it at the moment.. Jon. The original owner passed away a few months ago.

I haven't researched that side as yet, sorry.

You are welcome. The cheaper 'Sport' does seem to be as sensitive as the Pro, but the image is very noisy. I will try changing the brighness level to 0.0 next time. Perhaps more stars will be captured, but the noise may increase further, especially on the Sport.

Nothing there

White LED streetlights can't be filtered out. If yellow was chosen then it could have. The town of Winslow, Arizona is the only town I have ever seen that used yellow LEDs. An anti-yellow filter does work, There will never be any such equivalent white filter as is crosses every part of the spectrum.

alright tbh i don't really see much stars in my night sky i'm in a city area so like the lights really darn the sky but they help us so hmmmmmmmmmm i guess you can see a lot of stars if you go to a place that doesn't have much lights like a desert definitely if you gonna head to the desert get a idk things to look at the night sky in dark places

@@jamaldaniels9759 Yes light pollution is a shame. Do try to see the stars from a beach, or yes best of all, a desert. I shot this last year in Northern Arizona. Back there again next month.. ruclips.net/video/Ck9NS2kRzxY/видео.html

@@astroroadshow alright thanks!

Yes thank you. I will correct it on the new version.

I wanted to demonstrate the power instrument itself and show perople where some of these objects are within a wide field. But yes it can be attached to a telescope. I have purchased a universal clamp and begun making clips and photos of deep sky objects.

You are welcome. I love the detail that can be brought out with fairly simple equipment. To image a galaxy requires all kinds of expensive hardware, software and loads of time and skill.

You are welcome. When anyone tours the USA, the national parks are a natural attraction. But there are many places to see outside such areas that are often missed. Plus drone flying is banned from most of the parks; shame. I have seen some your films, love the atmospheric shots of freezing fog etc.

@@astroroadshow Hi, thanks for checking out my channel. Really appreciate it. I do like to try new things - B&W seemed to work for the fog. I'm surprised drones aren't allowed in the National Parks in America. Seems a real shame.

Thanks. Just trying to put my drone to a positive use; reducing the number of people who object to green energy solutions. Even my drone batteries are solar charged.

@@astroroadshow solar charged drone batteries? That's impressive. Well done 🙂👍

@@JauneMacReady Between 9am and around 3pm, our house is completely run on solar most of the year round. So I just charge up laptops, camera batteries, phone etc during that window. We are developing a place in Arizona; completely off grid with solar & wind power.

My, you are fast to notice that.

Thanks. The film made on the hop, a last minute thought after getting out of my van at a layby.

Thank you. We are doing something right then.

@@astroroadshow Have seen most of them from the road

@@DJC995 Only the one on the A3056 Blackwater (near Newport) could be seen briefly between trees from a main road.

Never really noticed that, thanks. I guess it's because it's cold. The sheer number of desert flies is what surprised me.

Thank you. Who made these 'inflatable sets'? When you inflate something, it always tends to be roundish, some Lunar mountains mountains are smooth but not round. This is why we can't have square balloons. Some Lunar mountains have 'dipped' slopes, impossible to reproduce inflated. I work with inflatables in my business - inflatable planetarium. Where are all the witnesses to making or inflating them? How big must they have been? 'How heavy? My dome is only 8mt wide and yet weigh 200kg. An inflatable mountain would weigh many tons. Flat images' are natural on a flat photograph. There must have been thousands of backdrops painted, as when a hill or mountain is traversed, a new perspective is constantly seen. As hours and days passed on the Moon, the light is altering too, so yet more backdrops must be painted. Who painted them all and kept the same style throughout? Please name even one artist please, or are you guessing? 'How come all these 'backdrops' now match perfectly the lunar topography images by modern Lunar probes by India and China? Such details were not known in the 1960/70s; only low resolution images from Surveyor and Orbiter craft, not high res that would have been required. So how were all the fine contours predicted decades before those probes imaged them independently from NASA? Looking like' statements are pointless without experiments to demonstrate your idea, I have shown mine. Foregrounds will naturally show more detail than a distant background where rocks a few cm across won't be resolved; the same occurs on Earth. You need to reproduce a moving video of a 'Moonset' from a Lunar Rover complete with foreground and background in perfect perspective to successfully claim your idea. If it is that easy 'at the tips of my fingers' , then please show us all. I'm afraid that evidence of any claim is always required in science, as I have shown, rather than words. I look forward to viewing such a film.

@@astroroadshow Have you seen any inflatable toys ? They can make any form. Square, giraffe, flotation ring, space suit. Space suits are inflatable. And the moon mountains are plumpy , no harsh peaks- it is obvious. You can glue up any necessary texture. Did you ever measure the distances covered by lunar rover based on it's average speed and time of footage ? I did. I gave it the average speed of 13 km/h and multiplied it by time elapsed of the footage.The area is fairly less than a soccer field. You don't have to make huge inflatable mountains because they want you to believe the area is huge and the mountains are far far away and look smaller, I don't think they would publish the artist's names and addresses it they really faked it. And why it shall be easy like school theater or planetarium ? Once they discovered it is impossible to put a man on the moon,, the tasks of flying to the moon and faking the flight to the moon became equal. Flying to the moon is easy or cheap ? I realize it was more complicated than Space Odyssey. If they had inflatable backgrounds they wouldn't have to rely on FP all the time. Why did they send a mannequin to the moon today ? Not a live astronaut ? Because they are not sure if a live astronaut would survive it ? Why ? Then how did they sent people to the moon 6 times and nobody of them died early of cancer or radiation sickness ? Are Neil and Buzz and other moon people not hard and solid witnesses that flying to the moon is 100% safe ? USSR sent lunar probes to the Moon and had lunar topography, the US sent probes and obtained the lunar topography. No atmosphere, no clouds, easy to take the general topography.

@@vcs206 No inflatable toys cannot take any form. Make a dropped curve mountain then. Show me an inflatable square as you claim, or an inflated pyramid. All other examples are round-based. Strewth. Air pressure expands to equalise itself. As I said reproduce the Apollo footage in the real world rather than in your head. I bet you any amount of money, you won't. Live astronauts will be sent once again next year. You won't have to wait long. If you claim they should all get cancer from such a trip, then are you a radiation expert? Or are you just guessing again? Where are your witnesses, your experts? You already admit you can't produce them. Astronauts have already been up to the moon more than the six times you quoted... Apollo 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 16, and 17. ..that's 9. The early lunar probes did not take detailed enough images of the moon, only the more recent probes have. Otherwise why send more probes? The smallest details were no better than a few tens or even hundred metres across, now they reveal details less than 20cm wide, that's progress in imaging. That was not possible in the 1960/70s. Stop making 'facts' up without numbers. Just admit to yourself that you are sitting a your computer, imagining how it was 'faked and unwilling to deal with reality.

Thanks. I will produce more IoW film in the near future. Working on Isle of Wight Solar Farms video next.

There's no expectation of privacy in public, and everyone has a 1st Amendment right to record anything that can be seen from a public vantage point.

Not a single human being or license plate in the entire drone movie. Nothing illegal here. I passed my pilot's test, paid the license fee, got my insurance. Which is more intrusive?.. .A drone shot of a scene from high up where no person or license plate can be recognised or a photo taken from the ground where people and license plates could be recognised? The local cops were aware of my flying and even allowed me to fly their drone around Sanders. Please think intelligently before critisizing in future.

Thank you. Astronomy is a great harmless hobby.

Thanks. This film was an experiment. I will be producing more in the future with other types of camera, showing the night sky at various times of the year.

Thank you. I know we see loads of colourful pics of galaxies etc, but they never seem to show where they are so you can find them for yourself. All that is needed is one recognised constellation, and it can then be used as a reference point for the rest.

Than you. I am adding a series of general star gazing films to help people find their way around the night sky.

Glad you liked. I will be producing an expanded version in May 2023 to include the schools, post office, and an archaeology site off Route 191.

What's it like to live there??

I am into that too. A careful analysis is always required though. These cameras do pick up moths, bats, owls, meteors and satellites. Many people on RUclips claim to have recorded UFOs but are natural objects instead. I would have bought the Pro if I had the money as it is a little more sensitive than the Sport. If ever you wanted to show me an unusual recording first before claiming UFO, then feel free to do so. Love to see genuine mysteries.
