We zoom in on some of the most easily targeted objects in our sky during the month of July, 2021.
This setup was an experiment to see how clearly we could get a planet to show up on our Live Streams.
If you have any questions about how to use these cameras, feel free to ask and clear skies!!

Wait so the planets are actively moving instead of slowly gradually moving?

[@spacetimewithrobert4438]

Hello Jose! Actually, it's both! Planets indeed gradually move across the sky and you can see this for yourself night after night. Just note which star a planet is next to and how far. Then, on the next night you may notice the planet has moved relative to that star. Due to this apparent motion ancient Greek astronomers called them "wanderers" or moving lights, which apparently is where the word Planet comets from! Some planets wander faster than other's and this is due to their distance from the Sun. Just like how water flows faster as it nears a drain or whirlpool, so do planets as they orbit closer to the Sun. Due to this fact, Mercury, the Roman counterpart to the Greek messenger god Hermes, is unsurprisingly the fastest wanderer. Venus, as you would expect, wanders more slowly across the sky than Mercury and so on. Jupiter and Saturn can often appear in the same constellation for months. Pluto hasn't even completed an orbit since it's discovery! But we don't talk about Pluto anymore lol.
In this video, we see something entirely different. Of course, the planets are still moving around the Sun on their own, but their orbital motion is far too slow to see in the duration of this video. Instead, what we see are the planets drifting across the lens due to Earth's Rotation. Where the planet is in the sky will make it appear to drift at different speeds and directions while looking through a manual telescope like Carl. To counter Earth's rotation we would want to use a motorized mount and those are TONS of fun once you figure them out! Here is a video where we use one to track Jupiter: ruclips.net/video/vxseAtVD6vQ/видео.htmlsi=Zfjc6JunrU-DGyhv
I hope that helps!!
