I really like being able to step out of the house in flip flops and t shirt to stargaze. I also love the serenity before summer sunrises and listening to the birds waking up.
mars and saturn have both been a lot of fun to view the past month, although mars is still just too far and low to the horizon to get surface detail from my 8" dob 😅 really excited for january next year to get some good views of it!
Mars is going to be a treat later this year! It will be my first time viewing it at opposition with my new telescope! Keep up the observing and let us know what all you are seeing!
I really appreciate that, Alan! No need to sensationalize topics that are already incredible! Your books got me back into this hobby 15 years ago and I hope you are doing well.
A great addition to the list. I was out observing it for an astronomical league program late last week! Have you been out doing any observing or imaging lately?
Hey man I just saw 12-15 stars moving in a line and 3 of them were in group , they were very clear and can be easily seen by naked eyes, can you just tell me what were them huh😅
It was probably a satellite train. More than likely a the Space X Starlink. I took a video of one a few years back and posted it on the channel. They are an odd sight!
Yes, the information in this video should match up with where you live pretty well. Just go out to look for it about an hour and a half before your local sunrise. I had the opportunity to spend a few weeks in Japan a number of years ago and really enjoyed my visit. I only spent a few hours in Tokyo before heading up to Sapporo for 10 days. Such a lovely country! Take care and clear skies!

You've captured why so many of us love this hobby!
Sounds good, if the rain and clouds go away.
And termite swarms
Same. The last time when the nights were clear was 2 weeks ago.
...And the light pollution.
So true!

As always, an excellent, accurate and non-sensational look at what’s up. Thank you! 🙏

More appreciate to the only creator of all.
😢yes
Excellent look ahead, typical spring weather here, hoping June will bring a few clear nights.
We were fortunate here with 3 clear nights last week. I was able to observe during 2 of them. The clouds have returned.
If that comet becomes as bright as hoped, hopefully the weather will cooperate
Let's hope we get clear skies for the close approach!
New to your channel. Very Nice! I heard about T Coronae Borealis so looking for an informative, no fluff channel for help. I think I just found it.
I appreciate that. I'll continue doing updates on it each month and have a video ready to go the day it goes nova!
Why does everyone forget M92 globular cluster in Hercules ??? It’s not as big and bright but it’s still very nice and easy to find nearby M13.
A great addition to the list. I was out observing it for an astronomical league program late last week! Have you been out doing any observing or imaging lately?
Thanks for the video. Do you recall the telescope focal length used to capture M13?
I was using a Canon SL2 and a 135mm Saymang lens.

They're starlink satellites
Since I’m on the other side of the world, will I be able to see the Aires meteor shower from Tokyo at night?

I think I saw this at 3:22 this a.m. in cape cod. It was huge and bright with a tail.❤
Sounds like you might have seen a really impressive shooting star! Great catch!
M104 the Sombrero Galaxy is my first target in Astrophotography
Congratulations and please share your image with me over on instagram.
Thank you for this video I appreciate it
My pleasure! I hope you get out to enjoy the night sky this month!
❤❤
today can be
Lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies waiting and waiting and waiting
