Almost irrelevant to the video. I'm just very excited. I saw Jupiter through my new 10inch dob tonight. Used a 10mm eyepiece and could see the red bands and three of Jupiter's moons. Absolutely breathtaking.
Another great video Jason. Very informative, and a veritable source of information to a beginner. Have you any videos relating to attaching a dslr to a newtonian telescope? Keep up the good work.
Asteroid, meteor, meteorite, comet... They're all the same thing, it's a semantic difference describing their position relative to the earth. Yes, I included comets. NASA/other missions to known "comets" have revealed in video and photographic evidence that comets are hard rocky bodies indistinguishable from asteroids.
Stars are rated by their temperature spectrum in an odd manner from O, B, A, F, G, K & M. Our Sun is a G type main sequence yellow star. A full Moon is blindingly bright through a telescope as is a half Moon and filters need to be used to view it if you don't want to lose your night vision.
I spend so much time in my garden scanning the sky, sitting in one of those "zero-g" reclining chairs using my Mark 1 Eyeballs and spotting so many things like meteors, satellites, star clusters and the larger naked eye nebulae, that sometimes my evening sessions are over before I've even got to my scope.
Another major misconception is that there is no gravity when in orbit around the Earth or even just when barely getting into space (suborbital). I recall someone in one of the Blue Origin New Shepard flights saying that they had left or were beyond Earth's gravity since they were now apparently weightless. In actuality, of course, they were in freefall because the Earth's gravity was pulling them back down (hardly weightless, even if they felt as though they were). I bet no one even questioned that statement--they were in space, so supposedly there was no gravity, which is a popular belief that is of course totally wrong.
Honestly, I wasn't very clear about the differences between asteroid, meteoroid, meteor and meteorite... Now I am! 😃Probably the concepts of comet and fireball should be added to the jam...
Actually, flames are a poor comparison regarding color, because the blue color does *not* come from blackbody radiation. The yellow color does because there is some unburnt soot that radiates according to the temperature, but the hotter blue part of the flame does not radiate blue in this manner because it is not nearly hot enough. The blue light comes from chemiluminescence instead, and since this part of the flame is fully oxygenated, there is no soot to emit the yellow blackbody radiation, so all we see is the blue. An example of an accurate comparison would be heating up a piece of metal, which causes it to radiate like a blackbody in accordance with its temperature.
Asteroids, Meteors and Meteorites reminds me of a time about 15 years ago when I was in a huge chatroom and made everyone lose their marbles by starting a debate in which I claimed _a food can be an ingredient, but an ingredient cannot be a food_ 🤣
Been enjoying your videos since getting back into the hobby. Realised you were from Chesterfield same as me when you spoke about Barnett Observatory. Keep up the excellent videos 👍👍
Great video again Jason. The audio was good. I could hear you well. As a proud resident of The Netherlands, I was pleased to see that you correctly named Hans Lipperhey as the inventor of the telescope. A dutch invention that gave us this great hobby. 😊 Let’s hope we will have many clear nights to see the always impressive universe from our backyard.
I know you're talking about tints instead of pure colors, but it should be pointed out that stars all radiate white light, whether this light appears to be slightly tinted or not.
very Informative Jason ive joined the facebook page and loving it ! I have to try your toilet roll insert trick and see will it help steady when im focusing ! ihad descent views of saturn but it took ages to find and focus and make the adjustment on the manual eq mount but im loving it !
I just finally got my new telescope outside under clear skies last night! And I think it has a problem, in order to get focused I have to lift my eye piece out a little bit. It's a Newtonian reflector. Could it be a design flaw or maybe my mirror needs to move farther down the tube? I bought it used, and I collimated it. It had no eyepiece and the mirrors were way out of position to begin with.
Hi Jason I was thinking of upgrading to the explorer 200p.it is around 650 quid and has the eq5 mount.just wondered what you think?is it worth the extra 400 compared to the 130m.is the eq5 easier to suss out etc? Many thanks matey✌️
Thank you very much. I'm learning alot from you. I don't know about the social conventions of RUclips commentaries; if it's ok to ask off topic questions. I'll try it regardless, two questions in fact. 1. Regarding refractors. What is the benefit of long tube telescope? Two different 120mm refractors has the same optics but different focal length. The short tube (+Barlow) as far as I understand it has the same benefits as the long tube but is more compact? 2. I witnessed some aerial phenomenon a few days ago. In a 10° radius around Betelgeuse, there were bright fuzzy stars that lit up and then disappeared after half a second or so. It happened 5-7 times or so. I can't figure out what it was. My best guess is meteors that hit straight on and thus left no trailing behind it. But I really don't know. It seems very unlikely that even one meteor would hit in such a straight angle as to leave no trailing. What's your best guess?
Hello Jimmy, Focal length effects the overall magnification for instance a 10mm eyepiece used with a 120mm refractor at 1000 focal length will magnify 100X if you use the same set up but the only difference is the focal length of the telescope say 600mm it would magnify 60X mag.... To work this out is easy just simply divide the focal length by the eyepiece in mm. Eg, 1000 divided by 10= 100.. You can do this with any eyepiece to find out what power it's going to give you.... I'm not quite sure what you saw but that night but at first guess could be whats known as a flashing satellite. The cause is sunlight occasionally reflecting off shiny parts of a satellite and sometimes you do only get the one flash it all depends on were the satellite sun and observer are positioned, or it could well be like you say a meteor that from your prospective came straight at you and in that case it would appear to do what you saw.
Short focal length telescope will provide a wider TFOV and less magnification at a given eyepiece focal length + AFOV (compared to longer tube). This means you will have to use shorter focal length eyepiece to get a comparable magnification or eyepiece + barlow combination. Shorter focal length eyepieces can become more expensive and usually have shorter eye relief. Also short tubes are more demanding at optical qualities of lens glass as they are prone to have more optical aberrations. This is compensated by using compound lenses, low dispersion glass (ED) or fluorite lenses and also by making your wallet infinitely thinner.
Hi Jason nice video but I am a bit confused about how to collimate my secondary mirror without a laser. Also really enjoyed the livestream last time you should do another one😃
Hello Klodno, A moon filter in my book is essential with any telescope above 4" of aperture. upgrading provided eyepieces is always a good idea, I wouldn't worry to much about the low powered eyepieces 20mm and above the ones that really need upgrading are the higher power ones, 10mm and below..
If the atmosphere causes stars to appear to be twinkling, how come some stars don't twinkle, and some up here to twinkle a lot, even different colors. You would think if it was the atmosphere every star would twinkle consistently or sometimes not at all. It's always the same stars that are twinkling too, I figured if it was the atmosphere different stars with twinkle at different times. I'm not doubting you, I just can't wrap my head around it
Funnily enough I saw about 15 bats last night when I was full Moon and Jupiter gazing near Annan in Scotland.Obviously enough insects for them to eat in October.
Hi i have the skywatcher explorer 130, when i put my barlow and 25mm in and attach my dslr camera, i can see and focus on jupiter, but when i take out the cheap 25mm and put a svbony 15mm i cant see jupiter, any ideas why please??
Maybe as simple as not being centered on your target. When you have Jupiter "lined up" in your 25mm EP's field of view, you'd think that after a quick switch of EP that you'd be back on center, but you're most likely not. The planet will have moved from the center by the time you have the 15mm in place. Just switching eyepieces gently can still push your aim off. I usually (always) have to make fine movements around that area to find it again after switching to a higher power EP - Remember you're now looking at a much smaller bit of sky. I now try to remove the 25 when the target is not yet at the center of view, so that after the switch it should be. o.e. Give yourself 15 seconds or so. Does that make sense?
@@rlmcnugsy1434 I second what Nugsy said, I usually keep a bunch of the cheap throw away eyepieces in my pocket when I want to hone in on a target. I can very quickly pop in a larger fov eyepiece center up my target, then pop in a smaller eyepiece recenter my target, then pop in another smaller fov eyepiece and recenter my target, rinse and repeat. That usually puts me on target really fast, I don't even tighten them up in the focuser just swap them all in and out going smaller or larger depending on whether or not I'm shivering from frostbite :) But once you get zero'd in on your target you need to start being very careful about touching your scope or bumping anything. With Jupiter I can usually tell I've got it in frame without even looking through my eyepiece because it looks like someone is shining a flashlight out of the eyepiece 😆
There may be no stars that appear to the human eye and visual system to be tinted green, but there are stars whose spectra peak in the green portion of the visible spectrum. One such example is the Sun, and it may not be an accident that we evolved to perceive its slightly greenish spectrum as pure white (we can perceive greenish white, but the green peak would have to be more pronounced than the peaks in the other colors for us to see a tint).
Hello Dr, great question. I could try to put it in my own words but this from google will probably say it better than I could... "There are no green stars because the 'black-body spectrum' of stars, which describes the amount of light at each wavelength and depends on temperature, doesn't produce the same spectrum of colours as, for example a rainbow." Hope this helps my friend :)
It's because broad-spectrum (white) light that peaks in the green part of the spectrum is perceived as pure white by the human visual system. Tinting it green for humans would require a much larger/sharper peak than a near-blackbody radiator like the Sun would provide. Tints in the other colors of the spectrum require less of a peak to be perceived. The simplest explanation as to why this is so is that this is simply how the human eye and visual system work. The Sun actually does peak in the green part of the spectrum, so technically it is a green star, but humans see its light as pure white. The Sun's disk might look a bit yellowish, but that's only because some of the blue light is scattered away by the Earth's atmosphere, which is precisely why the clear sky is colored blue. All of the light together, as a whole, is pure white to the human eye, though, and in space the Sun would appear as pure white (don't look directly at it). So why is the human visual system like this? I don't know and perhaps no one really does, but if I had to take a guess, it would be that we evolved under the light of a green(ish) star, and therefore the integrated spectrum of this star is the baseline for what we perceive as white light. I can't prove this is true, but I think it stands to reason.
Planets do not twinkle. They will appear to be a steady point of light. Only stars twinkle because they are such a small angular size, usually less than 1/100 of an arc second (an arc second is 1/3600 of a degree). The atmosphere moves too much to keep that tiny dot steady in the sky and moves its light elsewhere.
Hello Paul, Not as much as stars planets look more like a flat disc of light , they do shimmer a little because of atmospheric disturbance but not as much as stars..
Hi man, i need you to answer really quick and my question is what barlow lens should i buy on my 80 millimeter refractor, 400fl telescope (using 6mm eyepiece), and the maximum magnification is 160× because the result is that it is 198× magnification with 3× barlow lens in the end and that's higher than 160× magnification, but it's not that much or is it? And if it is that high than please tell me if the 2,5× barlow lens is good, cause the result is 165× and it's just slightly higher than maximum 160× magnification? So basicly the question is if i should buy (just) 2× barlow lens (result 132× and the only one that is under max 160× magnification) or 2,5× barlow lens (result 165×) or 3× barlow lens (result 198×)? Please answer quickly.
Hey Jason very enjoyable video and love the twinkle twinkle little star as we all see stars twinkle low down and even high in South. The moon has gravity and how the American flag isn't acting right as its straight up and not bending down in 1969 so is the flag really on the moon? When you look up and see something bright some people say is it a UFO? About a year ago I was out side and saw a bright object at night and it moved up to the clouds when in air so can these be ufos? That bright light never made a noise so maybe a UFO? Some UFOs are real! There is one you missed or maybe 2 the northern lights makes sounds as people have heard it. An expert says the northern lights can be seen duren the day at certain times but most say its impossible to see it duren the day. The northern lights of 1859 was making noises. Take care buddy and clear skies this autumn and winter!!!
Hey Bush, last night/this morning, I was walking out of the building I was working at around 4am CST and just happened to glance up at the sky to make sure it was still there. And after glancing around a bit just to see what could be seen from this areas light pollution, saw what I thought was a plane, orion, some planets you know the usual stuff. Then I glanced back at the plane, it was not a plane, it was Procyon. For whatever reason, maybe it was my eyeballs or the atmospherics right around that area but Procyon looked like it was having a drug induced disco party. Proc was wildly flashing switching colors, it totally looked like an airplane with it's blinking lights. Made for a good chuckle. For just a split second I thought Proc was having a party :) hahaha
@@MatthewHolevinski Hi there stars do have parties and I remember when I was a kid I saw a bright star low down in January and it was twinkling a lot and I looked at it through binoculars and through house open window and it was having a party.

Why doesn't the sun twinkle when very low down? Venus doesn't twinkle as much at its brightest. Is Venus a star or a planet seen with the naked eye? Stars do have late night parties!!

Do planets twinkle or just stars.
They might not twinkle like stars but they will still appear to be wobbling or whatever you call it
Through a telescope in bad seeing conditions they appear very wibbly-wobbly, but not so much to the eye.
Planets do not twinkle. They will appear to be a steady point of light. Only stars twinkle because they are such a small angular size, usually less than 1/100 of an arc second (an arc second is 1/3600 of a degree). The atmosphere moves too much to keep that tiny dot steady in the sky and moves its light elsewhere.

I've seen vega twinkle too but not often. Twinkle twinkle little star how I wonder what you are. Why doesn't the sun twinkle when very low down?
Venus doesn't twinkle as much at its brightest. Is Venus a star or a planet seen with the naked eye? Stars do have late night parties!! Hehehe we should join them!
