- It's been a while folks I know , so I thought I would just let you all know my plans for the new year , and of course where on earth I have been...
Thank you for watching don't forget to subscribe and hit all notifications as I do regular videos for the new astronomer..
glad to hear you are over that horrible cold, lots and lots of it about.
Hi mate, i hope you feeling better , I wish you health and clear sky!
Hey Jason, long time no speak. Glad you're going to be back at it.
I waited a week or so to comment, to see if anyone else has offered...
I'd be happy to help out in a livestream with the AP questions if you're interested?
Of course you can get in touch and 'test' me before answering that.
Let me know and I'll contact you.
Clear skies Bud. (This comment was deleted FOUR times🤞).
Good to see you back Jason ! wishing you the very best for 2024 looking forward to whats coming from you !!
Jason, I know this is more than a month later but I'd like you to know that I appreciate what you do. You offer great tips and really help the new, amateur astronomer like myself. I also like what you said about not wanting to put out a video just for the sake of putting one out. That tells me that you're focused on quality. Good health to you sir.
Many thanks Jason, I'm a new backyard astronomy guy at 69 yrs old, I've found your invaluable & decided to buy a budget price 900x80mm refractor & a reasonable equatorial stand. I'm a complete novice & guess apart from the package having inferior lenses & 90 deg focuser, It's given me an insight to improve a little, my main challenge is alignment of the finder scope & duplication in the main scope , I've diligently tried your calibration on daylight objects & although the calibration screws don't appear reliable in the night sky , I'm trying to use a green laser pen & engineering a pointing system securely fixed to the scope tube that is finely calibrated to be reliable. I'm English ( Lincolnshire) and living my retirement in Brasil. We live 2k metres in the mountains 4 hrs from Sao Paulo, so the night sky's are perfect viewing with the naked eye , 22 deg South. I have all the time in the world to spend warm nights by the pool with my new hobby & a few beers 😂 have you had experience of using a laser to project Green beams of light at stars etc. ? , once again many thanks for your down to earth grass roots astronomy, I'm looking forwards to seeing something in the night sky , up until now it's mostly been the space between objects 😂 but I'm pretty patient 🤗 regards Dave Bates
i had the same virus over Christmas, was absoloutely horrible and i couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Glad to see you're doing ok!
Tip for reducing your chances of catching colds in the future: do some daylight astronomy, especially sun-gazing. Get those vitamin D levels up to protect you from infection. Sort out two great things at once that way. xD
I wonder if I still qualify as “small optics” with an 8” reflector, but all your advice rings true. You sir are fantastic for us that are learning the hobby. Thank you, and more “how to find” videos please!
More coming soon my friend . Thanks for watching.
...I even get clothing company fashion companies getting in touch, I mean what's that got to do with astronomy...
Astronomers, professional or amateur, wear clothes when they're observing, this usually takes place outdoors, and at star parties, and especially when it's cold outside.😁
Clear skies.🔭 🌌
Great to see you back. Looking forward to seeing your new videos this year
Dave Bates ( Brasil ) ps , I really enjoy your channel & was the 1st I came across, I've obviously looked at other YT channels, but some are pushing certain company products & don't give a personal insight. As mentioned in my previous comment, the beautiful night sky's here in Monte Verde Brasil , are a real beauty for the naked eye , so I'm really hoping to enhance that connectivity with a reasonably good telescope, ps. We have good Google pics of the moon etc, but seeing through a lense without digital AI is a real experience with no fakery 😊
Great to see you're getting well. I like your channels down to earth low cost advice, tips, ideas etc. I particularly like your vids showing DIY solutions/adaptors/ideas etc that don't cost a fortune, obviously because our beloved hobby is incredibly expensive most of the time anyway! lol.
Video suggestion - maybe do a video about basic DSLR camera astrophotography? Super basic with a rule which states you can only use the DSLR camera and lenses you already own at home, and a basic camera tripod? Give folk a taster on the basics of taking pics of the night sky, in terms of ISO settings, exposure lengths etc? maybe base this first video on Lunar astrophotography, seeing that the Moon is super bright, easy ( relatively! ) to image and likely won't scare most folk away! lol.
Thanks for the great content my friend!

Glad to see you back!!! How about a video on the basic maths behind understanding the numbers you find on a telescope. That way if you’re looking at a telescope in a store or online you can tell at a glance, from memory or by pulling out a note, what that particular telescope would be best at viewing.
Thanks for all you do!
Glad your back..as a beginner your my goto channel. Best wishes
Jason, mate! Glad you're back in shape. I just wanted to thank you for all that you're doing for us fellow astronomers and beginners such as myself! Your videos are really appreciated and can't wait for each next video. I recently bought my first telescope. I learnt so much from you, if I ever get chance to meet you, drinks are on me! 😁🍻 Bring on whatever you have in store for us, be it lives, reviews or Q&A, it's all gold! Again thanks and clear skies! Alex from Italy.
Thank you. Great to be back my friend
Im not a beginner but not an expert either. I do Astro photography with some success. I suck at photoshop and stacking. My main problem is my go to system and getting a bad alignment either on the polar scope or star alignment. My success rate is probably 50 per cent or less on getting it right. I have a 6 inch newt celestron telescope and an Orion pro mount with the go to system and a cannon DSLR camera. No electric guide scope or computer. Tablet with WiFi connection to the cannon camera. I have been going over your videos to see if I’m missing something, sometimes I forget some of the basics
No need to apologise! Solong as your fit and healthy 👌🏼looking forward to seeing your content had some great views of Jupiter as its been passing by thanks to your collimation methods.
Take care buddy
Glad to see you back, mate! I hope all is well now. Looking forward to your great content in future!
Nice to see you back mate 🙂 Glad you are ok!
It's good to have you back.
I'm glad you're doing well. I like your channel the way it is. Common down to earth.
Hello, Jason! I’ll echo what others have said already regarding you making it through the other side of that sickness. I’m glad to hear you’re feeling better, and still have plans for the future of the channel. You may get these comments a lot, but I was gifted a telescope this past Christmas and it completely captivated me. Once assembled, I kept wanting to do more and learn more. That brings me to you and your channel. This channel has been instrumental in teaching me MANY (probably most) of the basic principles and concepts that one needs to know before getting started, and through your early astronomy journey. Don’t get me wrong, there’s stuff here for everyone and I’ve definitely continued to find things from your channel that go beyond my initial description. However, I just wanted to praise you for your demeanor, knowledge, and ability to relay information in a very digestible and understandable manner. Thank you for helping make this wonderful hobby something that everyone can enjoy at any level. Looking forward to the future!
We will be watching.
i am so glad to see you in my feed. im glad you are feeling better.
astrophotography is interesting but i really enjoy visual. you have provided me with tons of information and education for visual and i thank you so much.
Been awhile. Good to see you.
So good to see you back mate!!
Welcome back looking forward to more interesting content
good to see ya back
It's brilliant your back and feeling better. Look forward to more videos.
Nice to see you're back.
This year has started off great for me. On the 1st of January I've been able to look at the crab nebula; I followed some of the advices you had given in the video you made about it.
Unfortunately now I'm the one who's sick though 🙁
Get well soon my friend .
Glad you’re better
Horrible weather here in Poland all autumn and still rainy. Let's hope for better weather in spring 😊
Stay healthy!
Video about setting circles (for both equitorial and alt az mounts)
Very happy to see a new video, you helped me alot getting into visual astronomy!
Hey bud!! Just wanna say you have the best videos your fun and easy to listen to and I have you always playing in the back ground when I’m messing with my new telescope!!! I have a ADA 12inch dob and been struggling hard trying to find the cool objects and learn the sky in my B9 sky’s! :( BUT I did finally get to see M82!!!! So I know it’s possible! Had both in view with my 25mm eyepiece! I do have a question or if anyone else can help as I’m still new to this… what kind of filter lens can I use to be able to see some nebulas through my telescope beside the Orion Nebula I would love to see the dumbbell nebula!!
I'm glad to see you're back and doing okay. We've missed you!
Missed you too
Absolute hero
Glad that you're okay Jason, I enjoy a lot your videos on general, but for me the staple of the channel is this simple tips on how to enjoy the hobby, last week I just went out without a telescope like you sometimes mentioned and enjoyed recognizing and naming the constellations! Keep up the good work!
Glad you’re feeling better!
A pleasure to meet you again!! Your freshness, naturalness, humor and those advice that only you know how to communicate were missed. I think that half of the world is, has been or will soon be a prisoner of one of the factions of viruses that are stalking us this winter... it seems that they had agreed to launch a great counteroffensive when we were most confident that a certain normality had returned to our lives... In any case, we all celebrated your recovery. Best wishes for the new year, the ideas you propose sound very good!
Nice to hear from you Jason. Welcome back
Thanks for sharing. Stay well. 😊
Good to have you back with the living 😊
Happy you're feelin better and back on it. Keep up the great work. I enjoy all your work and have learned quite a bit from your channel and am now considering my own. You're an absolute inspiration . Thanks again for your hard work, determination, and generosity to sharing knowledge. Clear skies!!!!
Having binge watched your videos (loads of great information by the way!) I was curious if you do sketching at the eyepiece of your observations, or a log.
Good to hear friend.. usually at the eyepiece.
Glad you’re feeling better and having an amazing start to the year. Can’t wait for your upcoming videos.
Happy Easter Jason😂, great to see you back🎉
Thank you thank you thank you I'm 60 new to the hobby and have already learned alot from your great videos...all the best .....j
And speedy recovery 🙏
Can you do a short recomedation on ultra wide angle binoculars like the svbony 2.1x42 and orion 2x54 binoculars
Thanks!
Thank you so much my friend very much appreciated
Glad health is back!!! I have quastion about eye pieces and eye relief: What do you think is great eye piece for planetary, cluster astronomy? Some of my friends are interested to look at the sky and I want the best experience for them. Some of them wear glasses as do I. Thank you very much ♥♥♥
Edit: Sorry I forgot to mention my scopes: SW 130/650 PDS and SW explorer 102/500
Happy New year Jason !
Same to, all the best.
Sorry to here you have been un well glad to see you back i am a beginner and gained a lot of info from your videos would love to see more out in the night setting up pointing north stars what to look for things like that ATB keep up the great vids 👌
Noted!
Hello sir
I have a T piece adapter for my nikon to my reflector telescope, and i couldn't deal with it connecting it to my 3x barlow
I always wanted to capture the Orion nebula with my dslr, and i keep getting dark images
But i can catch the bright stars like rigel and capella
Hi Jason glad you are feeling better . Thanks for recently having a big part in getting me into this amazing hobby, love your down to earth style. I would like you to get permission to do a demo tour of a local astronomy store to see all the different kit available out there. Cheers
Craig
Nice to be back my friend.. That would be a great thing to do. 😃
Hello!
Woohoo
