So, my wife just peered over my shoulder and says "I didn't know Richard Hammond likes telescopes" 😂😂 hope you and the family had a wonderful Christmas
Mr. biscuit, if I were the head of a TV network, I would give you your own show. You are absolutely bonkers in all the right ways. And Rik, The music is fab. I especially like the hip Satie track. ☮️❤️🦉
dude you are so relatable! doing all this complicated research on how to find this super small point on the moon and finding out this exact window of time to take pictures through complicated meteorology and yet, just like all of us, you accidentally spray the wrong thing on your camera. love this video! keep it coming!
@@rage_scorpio5494 idk, everyone is saying the same stupid things, "NASA says" as if it was some kind of trend or idk, it's like "look me, nasa says hahaha, I'm special"
The most jovial and realistic image of moon ever I have surprisingly seen in my life.....Absolutely amazing....!!!! You only feel it when you see it.!see you guys on the other side of the moonlight😊
This is not just another video. It is a MOVIE!!! With a beginning, a story, actors, script, photographer, and a happy end. Big like. Very interesting unique video. I mean movie. 👍❤️
I love how you really try and push the boundaries with modest equipment, and you did it! you got the blue lake! Really well done on that! You really do inspire me to try and do better with my channel. p.s Peter Drew who built the scope is a regular poster on SGL :) A top man! Loved the video and that you F up when in a rush like everyone else on the planet (Lithium grease on the ZWO lol ) Glad it was ok :D My respect to Riktenstein for the tunes too!
@@Riktenstein I also LOVE your album mate; incredible sounds, your Sergei Prokofiev's rework and the mighty Moonlight 3rd - Hell for Leather are my highlights, also whenever I listen to them, I imagine Astrobiscuit's voice blabbering about something really cool hehe, your collab is so awesome
Can't wait! After 2 months of being out of stock, I finally got a Celestron 31045 AstroMaster 130EQ on Xmas Eve. Sky has thankfully cleared up as well so I am hoping to get some good shots
Although I've been viewing the moon telescopically for nearly 40 years (sinve 1986), this is the first time I've ever heard of it referred to as any specific color. The fact that I have never confirmed that I've seen it might have something to do with it.
Here in the states & don’t think I’m not going to do my part by liking then sharing because it just happened. My only regret is missing your podcast by two years, it’s now time to get this high quality; low cost video up into the millions-
I know right?? but you know what?? I wonder what makes it blue? considering that there's no blue sky or atmosphere there?? hmm! guess We'll never know huh?.. oh well!
@@michaelgonzalez1870 lol.. good to see you got the sarcasm behind my last comment.. honestly, I don't think that's a blue lake up there. like no way that's a freaking blue lake.. doesn't make sense to me at all.
It's a good thing I'm watching this alone, because at 15:03 I actually made a noise when I saw the blue patch! :D It's been a looooong time since I was this excited about astronomy. :) A better shot? No way!
If you just want to watch beautiful object and be amazed without aving to deal with complex settings, go for a Dobson, it's the best choice for a beginner. My first telescope was a Dobson and I don't regret it.
Do you want to do astrophotography or not? 400 EUR won't get you much to go off of for astrophotography. For visual astronomy, IMO nothing can beat an 8" Dobsonian telescope (if it's not too big and heavy, for most it isn't), which falls right into your price range and will serve you up pleasing views of both planets and deep sky objects.
I would recommend a 90mm refractor telescope on a quality mount. If you want most aperture for your money I would recommend a 200mm dobsonian reflector.
Brilliant.... (bunny I mean) but very interesting and your knowledge of the Moon features is impressive, and inspiring...thanks from Victoria, Australia!
I'm going back and watching a lot of your videos since discovering your channel. You, sir, have one of THE BEST channels on RUclips! You do an incredible job putting your videos together. I feel like I'm watching a discovery channel documentary with each and every one. So very well done!!
Quality stuff. I've recently started seeing your videos and I must admit they are thoroughly enjoyable. If feels as if the viewer is part of the whole video and experience !
This is my favorite amateur astronomy video on RUclips! I watched it four times and like it more everytime. It's amazing how you can get such stunning pictures from the light polluted London sky. You are seriously talented.
I almost never click "like" just because I don't like "like collectors" but I would click "like" for an every second of this video. Thank you so much! You grant for people not only a knowledge but also a positive attitude for the whole day.
To me - Biscuit is highly reminiscent of Scotty from the original Star Trek series. He's having multiple things go wrong yet still seems to be performing miracles with his successes. ((-:
It's amazing that of all the decades I've been alive, you've been alive ,the years that telescope has been around while it all comes down to a brief 2-hour window of calm, with a mad dash rush and a lens covered in lithium grease to get that shot... Wild
This is really "Top Gear" from amateur astronomy. 😁👍 Photographing a hard to capture object on the surface of the moon, from a roof in London under Bottle 1000 conditions and bad british weather! Radical! 😁
This is the first time I have watched this channel. I am an AMATEUR, a real BEGINNER....but I've made my living in media and have produced a lot of broadcast product. I found this really excellent, well done and captivating. Great job and I look forward to your future productions!
There's a documentary about trying to see the landing spots from Apollo missions using the Hubble, but it wasn't possible because Hubble is focus to deep field and the moon is too near.
@@brits72 Just searched him. I would stop if I were you, he doesn't seem mentally well. He says the moon isnt right because his personal photo was blurry. He believes in the classic stereotype of a UFO, not knowing that's a human design. No hate to him, but he looks as if he needs therapy.
haha i wondered who else thought that when she made that comment!!?? I was actually hoping he would have made more of it and made a childish blokes comment like "Yess! That what she said last night!" hahahaha!!
For a one man channel, the production on these videos is excellent. The cuts, the music and the VO are all chef’s kiss. Hope he gets back to RUclips soon.
@@kightremin just looked out the window and he's still hanging up there but I also saw fumes coming out of the bullet hole. go check, if you look closely it's near crater Eratosthenes.
Absolutely amazing. As good if not better than most space documentaries with commentaries from famous astrologers I've seen, it's a shame Sir Patrick Moore is no longer with us, as I think you'd both produce a brilliant full length documentary together.
I'm so relieved and proud and happy that people like you exist please continue your efforts. We need more eyes out there so hopefully we'll get fair warning in case of impending disaster. And please continue with your videos. I know it's almost impossible to get through to the ignorant masses but please continue trying. Good luck and God bless you.
Thanks for the inspiration, just getting into the 'sport' and needing reassurance that I can do better. Need the sky to clear so that more practice can happen... ps do you take sugar with that coffee?
Happy Christmas everybody! Sorry for the early launch time, hope you are having a relaxing and not tooooo isolating crimbo
Merry Christmas!
More like suffering form too many cocktails however will get me up in the morning. Got a telescope phone holder from Christmas #happydays
👍🤣
how about jupiter and saturn conjunction, did you image that?
Happy Christmas loved your videos
You are a fantastic story teller. Nice work!

Zack, please don't scratch his telescope lens, they are made from glass so level 6 will hurt them, no need to check this, trust me
The video editing, your voice, the effort, your friend and sense of humour, everything is fabulous. This is cinema grade.
my feeling with this awesome guy is, that I could drink more than 10 beers with him. Cool story teller and fantastic soul.

I ordered an Orion 150mm reflector. Got an email yesterday...shipment pushed back another 7 days.
This was really fun to watch, had no idea about this blue "lake"

A better shot? No way!
This video is wonderful, i wanna get a telescope.. any recommendations? ( around 300/400 euro’s )
Meade ETX 70/80/90 if you need it portable and goto. Or a larger 150/200 Newtonian or Dobson if you just want the best view from your back garden.
If you just want to watch beautiful object and be amazed without aving to deal with complex settings, go for a Dobson, it's the best choice for a beginner. My first telescope was a Dobson and I don't regret it.
Yes, get one that can beam you up Scotty
Do you want to do astrophotography or not? 400 EUR won't get you much to go off of for astrophotography.

This guy is fun to listen to, perfect amount of humor to explain something a bit serious. Diffenatly related to his Mrs. concerns.
I used a similar scope to see saturns rings when I was a child. It changed my life.
Absolutely love to see other nerds nerding away!
Your knowledge and drive is I think precious sir. One of the geniuses we must hold precious and protect.
Quality stuff. I've recently started seeing your videos and I must admit they are thoroughly enjoyable. If feels as if the viewer is part of the whole video and experience !
It’s not a blue lake. It’s mold because the moon is made out of cheese.
Haha
Yes
Mmmmmm...
Stilton... 😂
I could totally dest4oy some Stilton melted over slice of leftover prime rib on a nice sourdough round right about now...
We've finished the cheese, Gromit!
Exactly. When landing, the Lunar Module certainly kicked up a lot of de brie!

It would be cool, but the Moon moves too fast for Hubble to get a good exposure picture, and its too dim in UV light.
