A few nights ago I noticed 3 stars vertically spaced different lengths apart one right above the other, the top one being off to the left of the 2 under it, they moved simultaneously and kept the exact same distance between them all the way across the sky until they were out of sight. The distance they were away and the distance between the 3 stars makes me think it was some sort of structure. It moved as if it was one thing bc the distance between the lights weren't changing they kept the exact same position the exact same cluster shape all the way across the sky it came and gone in about 60 seconds. I've also been seeing with my sky masters lights moving out in big clusters of other stars, sometimes very quickly and sometimes VERY slow but fast enough to be noticeable. I highly suggest getting the best pair of Celestron sky masters, a tripod, and a green laser pointer. Flash the laser and sometimes you will get receive back flashes in the same quantity that you send. I've seen a response through my binos I couldn't see any craft or structure but something way up there would flash back Everytime I flashed my laser. 1,4,2,6,3 it didnt matter how many times I flashed my laser I got the same number of flashes back. If you can imagine a bright star blinking on and off it was similar to that and that experience lasted for quite a few minutes and whatever was doing it was stationary no movement of any kind.
I see yesterday points of light which are moving relative to the background stars. Not one or two . I count almost 7 stars moving. Not in straight line I dnt know what's that
I have been seeing crazy things in the last year or so with my telescope. Looking at stars and planets has become secondary! Every single night I see moving objects. Sure there's a lot of sattelites up there but these things are really moving. I have no idea what they are. U A P.
Great intro into celestial photography! What kind of power supply do you use for your mount? I myself have an EQ5 from Sky Watcher and a CGEM from Celestron. I power them with a 12V adapter that can directly power the CGEM, or the EQ5 through a 6V DC/DC-converter that I attach after the 12V. I also use a 12V car-battery for the same purpose. My DIY-project is to make a bespoke wooden box in which the car-battery can house. Attached to it are the necessary DC/DC-converters for my Pentax and the Nikon DSLR, as well as the EQ5, the CGEM and the laptop. I want to attach a switch that will allow for an external 12V input, typically from an actual car-battery, so that I could pick up this box without the car-battery inside, and use it with the 12V from the car with which I will drive to a dark place. Light pollution is a bummer, once you start to make longer exposures. My first trials of M31 Andromedae were disappointing, standing in the backyard, with so much light from the streets. So, I'm going to need my power-box, but it's only half way there. By the way, I have a Sky Watcher 190/1000 Mak-Newt and a 120/600 refractor, but I'm going to try to capture wide-angle celestial images with the Nikon 80-200mm 2.8 zoom-lens. This is quite a good quality lens, so that it's bound to capture good celestial images, albeit that it will take some trials to get used to its speed for capturing M31 and M42 and such. My other question is: how precisely do you conduct your polar alignment? I like to use the built-in polar scope, and I see you use it too. Does it show a clock-like circle around the northern celestial pole, with a distribution of hours? That is the best way to do it. I use the Polaris transit-time method, meaning that I look up the momentary transit-time, at which Polaris will pass its 12 o'clock position in the sky. Then, I only need to calculate how many hours and minutes Polaris has rotated around the NCP since then, to know where to position Polaris' spot in the circle. I'm not sure whether you do it that way too, but to me, it's a very reliable method, making my alignment quite precise, every time.
The skywatcher mount was powered off of AA batteries. The polar alignment is quite easy, the app that controls the mount shows you precisely where the position of Polaris needs to be in the polar scope, and slight errors can be mitigated by doing a multi star alignment. With such a wide FOV using the RedCat 51, it's much more forgiving when it comes to tracking - if I was using a longer focal length system, I would definitely use a guidescope and guide camera.

Amazing .. Thank you for sharing these moments.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I found 3 stars moving at same time .....but I wonder how ...?....it's not a satellite... please explain!

What a fantastic location!
It's great!

I dnt know what's that
Straight up searching this video after i saw one just now and it changes course.

I have seen one too near orion constellation i told it about my family and they said it was plane but i m sure it isnt

Such an informative video !
Glad you think so!
bro is the most underated astrophotographer and your new subscriber
Fr bro I just got recommended this guy
Reading this just made my day, thank you!!!
@@jangothepeanut6124thanks so much I really really appreciate you!
What is the night vision camera that you refer too? Thank you. Love the video.
Thanks for watching! It was a SIONYX Aurora NVG. I've since upgraded to a Sony A7SIII, which has incredible low-light capabilties.
great video...subbed and what you heard was a Barred owl
Thanks so much - and that's awesome to know. I looked up the Barred Owl and they look awesome
I LOVE the mysteries of the universe and the wisdom & knowledge that comes with. I swear this is the wrong era that I was suppose to be in 😂😂😂😂
I used to think the same about long nights too. If only winter meant clear nights too. 😀 What’s that night vision camera?
The UK makes winter astro very tough 😅
It's a Sionyx night vision camera - I'm using it for the time being while I save up for an upgraded night cam!
@@ianlauerastro0:40
I was seeing something in the sky outside but I don't know what it was
So beautiful I LOVE star gazing and just this magical universe itself! IF ONLY.......
I live in Va. and I always observe this bright weird vibrating star that seems to move/buzz/ bounce whatever it is doing. However it's very strange.
Cooool and Awesome!!!!
What equipment do you use? Not like I could afford it, but maybe one day😂
Thats the one Andromeda, that has to be the one because once u mentioned the name, I used my app. Lol
The one that I have been watching or Beetlejuice or whatever it's called😢😂
