I'm getting my first own telescope this Christmas and my family has agreed on handing it to me a couple of days early, so I can see this amazing conjunction! Clear skies to everyone :) 🌒
Do be sure to do as he says and start a few days before conjunction. Tell your family that astronomers say NOW is the time to start working with that scope as it can take a few days to figure it out.
Rain, rain go away! Let me see the conjuction today! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🎶 Great and informative videos as always! Fingers crossed that this storm clears up soon! Clear skies from California everyone!
@@Eyesonthesky 🤞🤞 fingers double crossed, and toes too! Lol thankfully i saw both planets in the eyepiece a few days ago but i still wanna see them within less then a degree apart! Only then, will my life be complete..
@@maxdemian6312 actually, quite well. Clear skies, low humidity, great shots. There were two days where the crescent moon was close enough to be included in the frame: Wednesday, 12-16, and Thursday, 12-17.
You have offered encouragement for those of us facing mostly cloudy weather for this event. Surely there will be one night that we can pull it off. With my Astro Physics 6" f8.
Great video David! i liked the measuring tool plugin, I have to test it also. I went yesterday in 20.12.2020 with the telescope, from the backyard and observe them with my skywatcher ed80/600 2x barlow and 5mm eyepiece, unfortunately the view was not so clear because trees that were in south west, i made also a simulation of the conjunction through my telescopes with 5mm eyepiece and with ZWO ASI224mc planetary camera.
This is good info. Planning to look for this on the first clear evening, if we get one! Gonna have to turn my “Griswold” Christmas lights off for a few hours for this!
Awesome video, David! In case your viewers are wondering, for comparison sake, Mizar and Alcor are 12 arc minutes apart, meanwhile Jupiter and Saturn will be 6 arc minutes apart! Cool, huh?! "Keep looking up!" 😁👍🏽
Hi there- Great video! Wondering how far apart they will be on Dec 24 or 25th? You started to cover this in the video (and I was anxiously waiting!) as here in London we were clouded out all week but the weather will be clear on those two days!
I was quite happy to see this with my 4 inch reflector, and to see both Jupiter and Saturn and their moons in such good conditions was amazing! Now I am quite bitten by the bug and I am looking for a larger scope, and a camera setup to record my observations!
Thank you very much for your videos! They are very helpful! May I ask, what do you think of these reports about the northern lights lately? I've had clear(ish) skies for the past two nights and didn't see anything (except stars and meteors of course).
The CME kind of glanced off of Earth's magnetic field. So we didn't get the auroras some expected. But, Solar Cycle 25 is ramping up, so there will be good chances for more ahead.
Thank you makes alot of sense I have a wide angle eyepiece 62 degre 10mm with 70mm refractor. Hoping to get a pic. I'm very new 2 this as its my 1st year viewing but loving it. Couple days ago view the M45 7 sisters for the 1st time very cool. Thanks for your videos

So.. how LOW (on the horizon) will these be on the 21st? You seem to have went into a fair amount of detail regarding the elevation on the 16th & 17th but seem to have abandoned those details for the actual convergence day
That is because it depends on the observer's latitude and when they are able to start seeing them due to sunset. Also, everyone's southwestern view will be different - I live in a flat area, but others in hilly or mountainous regions may need to seek out an elevated place to view. I'd encourage downloading Stellarium, inputting your location and then seeing what the best time is for you and how high the planets will be for your location. Hope that helps.
And probably less than that given that they are so close to the horizon. There's little time to see them at their best. Have to start early in the evening for sure.
Its looks like its clear today but I live in northern Sweden so the planets just go a maximum of 4 degrees above the horizon, so there is a ton of atmosphere to look through😕
Hoping no clouds tonight here in Daytona Beach. I hope they both will fit into my basic camera with t adapter on my 12" dob. I may have to find brighter Jupiter well before dusk because they both may be too low and behind trees if i wait.
During Neowise while looking at a couple apps it said Saturn and Jupiter were close to each other. Unless the apps were wrong or maybe now they're even closer?
I don't know why but I looked up in the sky this summer and noticed a bright, distinct point of light. I discovered it was Jupiter and all summer long I would look to the sky, wishing I had a telescope. Fast forward to Christmas day. My brother gives me a book on star gazing and while I was flipping through the pages he brings out a very large box. I'm 35 but when I unwrapped that telescope I felt like a kid again. He totally blindsided me! And it couldn't have come at a better time with the conjunction.
With the moons visible, it looks like the old verse: For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. The host are the moons.
I just got a Celestron nexstar 130 SL I have never use a telescope, I haven't aligned it yet.. hope I don't have a hard time with it.. thank you for all of the tips and information 🙏😊
Align your finder in a church steeple or distant power or flag pole in daylight. Be patient your first night. It takes practice and skills build with time. If your finder isn't helping the first night, then sight down the outside o the scope tube on Jupiter by naked eye. Mount the broadest eyepiece (25mm+) and slightly move the aim intil you find it dead center, then refine your starfinder alignment. You'll need that as good as you can get it to point dead between Jupiter and Saturn next week. A month with the moon would have been good practice, but Jupiter and Venus are the easiest planets to spot.
@@Eyesonthesky very good, but maybe not. You still have to align the red dot finder to align the scope through the computer. It has to triangulate your specific position within Lat/Long and time you enter or GPS which isn't quite close enough. It is a good scope.
You can see it now with clear skies in the south western sky. Jupiter is the brightest. Saturn is to the left, slightly further back, so not as bright at the moment. They will get closer in the next week. Mars is still visible in the eastern sky
Well I’m gunna do several practice runs starting this Thursday. Thursday I’ll just go out with binoculars to make sure the place I found will work. Then Saturday-Monday I’ll bring out the telescope.
That is a good plan - I'm glad I have been able to take some practice photos when the evenings are clear. Unfortunately now that they are much closer I haven't had the chance yet to use a narrower field of view to see what's possible. I have to wait until late this week.
I need help!! I want to buy my first telescope but I can just spend 100€ - 220€. I have been searching for more than a week but found nothing. Can someone tell me where I can buy one and which one?
It is certainly possible; Jupiter is bright enough. But Saturn is 11x dimmer, so it may be hard to see during daytime without quite a bit of aperture. Also, these are getting closer to the Sun, so you must be VERY CAREFUL DOING THIS.
@@Eyesonthesky Yeah I thought about the safety hazard so I'm definitely not going to attempt it unless I can get a good DSLR in time and look into a computer screen instead of directly into the eyepiece.
@@K000H maybe take a road trip to somewhere a little more clear? Just an idea, i still hope it clears out by then for you however. Also sometimes a higher elevation helps out too! Best of luck to you! 🙏
@@Handles-R-Lame Unfortunately I'm too busy with work this christmas, so a road trip isn't really an option. And i don't know where i would travel to as Norway has been covered by clouds for a long while now :/ The area i live in is famous for it's bad weather. We have an average of over 200 days of rain a year. And thats just rain, not included cloudy days. I feel fortunate enough to have seen a meteor shower, and both Saturn and Jupiter through a telescope a couple of months ago when we had a week of clear skies :) I even got to see the barely visible Orion nebula and what i think might have been the Andromeda galaxy. I still hope for clear skies around the conjunction, even tho the weather forecast says otherwise :)
@@K000H oh yeah, well in that case i see what ur saying my friend. I should be so fortunate and lucky to live in California where a cloudy day is almost forgotten of existing until November and December lol Plus i know how work can be and im sorry to hear that ur preoccupied, i hope you get some time off soon however as the conjuction will last some time. Does the "summer" months(if you have any) offer clearer skies? They will be better suited for visually seeing deep sky objects like the nebulae and galaxies. But from the sounds of it, Norway can be quite brutal with the weather.. 😕
Watched the activity on the 21st and the two planets were only visible after dark for less than an hour before they dipped below the horizon. Very hard to follow unless you have a computerized telescope.

Great Video as Always..

The Real Challenge would Be The Turbulent Atmosphere (Depending On Where You Live and Hows The Weather) So Not Recommended to View at Magnifications Mor Than 250x I Believe.. Nevertheless Hope It works Out Good. Good Luck On Your Views..Clear Skies👍🏻🔭🪐
For everyone out there an allignment and a conjunction are 2 different things. UNLESS saturn and jupiter line up perfectly to form one sphere, its NOT a conjunction!!!!!!! Its an allingment. Allignments are not perfectly alligned and what this is. Not a conjunction!! Stop spreading false news. Use the right terminology not street slang!! Planetary allignment is not conjunction.
The pedant is incorrect. The definition of a Conjunction is as follows: "In astronomy, a conjunction occurs when two astronomical objects or spacecraft have either the same right ascension or the same ecliptic longitude, usually as observed from Earth." This was indeed a conjunction when their Right Ascensions along the ecliptic lined lined up. No "single sphere" b.s. necessary. Have a great day! 😁
Yes. Apparently 400 years ago when they were close like this, no one could see the conjunction due to them being close to the sun in the sky. And that's why no one could see it, and why you hear both the "800 and 400 years ago" headline. I just heard this from someone else a while ago, so i don't really know if it's true or not as i haven't found any factual info about this yet.
I'm getting my first own telescope this Christmas and my family has agreed on handing it to me a couple of days early, so I can see this amazing conjunction! Clear skies to everyone :) 🌒
Excellent! Congrats!
That's so cool! Good luck, good seeing!
That's a great 'baptism' for your telescope! Mine was Halley's Comet (1986). :)

I live in Scandinavia. We'''ve had pretty much 0 hours of sunlight this month. I am sad. :(
Got a good shot of it last night,. Seeing two planets in the same eyepiece is absolutely STUNNING

Hi david good as always
During Neowise while looking at a couple apps it said Saturn and Jupiter were close to each other. Unless the apps were wrong or maybe now they're even closer?
That "close" was about 10 degrees or so. Which most times.... yes, that is close. Usually they aren't anywhere near one another in the sy.
I have an 8" Celestron scope and a set of Pentax eyepieces (couple hundred dollars each) that gives amazing images. I can't wait for this!
Sweet! Those Pentax eyepieces are great!
