Amazing! First Open Space I catch and its on one of my favorite subjects, and with one of the biggest names in amateur astronomy! Sadly it reminds me that, being a fellow Canadian, the beautiful winter targets like Orion are going to be cut short by Winnipeg’s -25 degree winters...
Damn, my alarm clock ran out of battery. Guess I'll get to watch Fraser for breakfast instead. 11:55 That third image is the filament from Star Trek Generations right? :-) 90 hours! That's like Hubble deep field.
It all depends on what you want to do. If you want to do visual observing, I always recommend binoculars or a Dobsonian. If you want to do astrophotography, then it gets much more complicated.
This is the first I've heard of this project. It sounds fantastic. Do you have any plans to get someone in the southern hemisphere involved? It would be terrific to have access to the SMC/LMC and all the other southern objects via an online telescope.
Hey Fraser, I have been fascinated with exoplanet discovery since I was a kid. What would be the best low cost setup for an amateur astronomer? In addition to the scope and camera, what programs would I need to scan transits etc.? I promise to ask the IAU to name something after you if I discover something.
That's the question I was going to ask, appearantly the Orion Nebula only looks good in long exposure, we create images that look great but nature is more subdued
random question that popped in my head : if the escape velocity from a black hole is higher than the speed of light, doesnt that mean that Light is actualy not the fastest thing in the universe ? If the curvature of space is high enough to retain light, and if the Universe is made of fields like the magnetic field, then the speed of those fields inside a black hole would actualy be the fastest thing in the Universe.
No, light is still the fastest thing in the Universe. And even if you could go faster than the speed of light, you still couldn't actually escape a black hole. Spacetime gets tangled up so badly that all paths lead into the singularity.
Instead of a star party or rather as well as, maybe not on the same occasion, but could you do a planet/moon party? Showing some features on the Moon in great detail, Jupiter, the moons, Saturn its moons, and Mars, Venus etc! What ever is up that night? I would enjoy that?
I think weather there is life on other planets is a moot question. It happened here so it's very likely it's happened elsewhere. The question I see did any of that life become self aware, did it become intelligent ? Did said developments overlap ours so we've someone to talk to? Life is most likely common, but intelligent life, a fluke. What if the only life found is worms and moss ? The smartest thing we find is a honey bee hive?

Run outside, look at it for 30 seconds. And then just as your eyeballs are starting to freeze over, run back inside.
Fraser Cain Lookin to get some binos, easier than lugging around a 10-inch dob
Oh man, i can't wait to be able to log in from my PC or phone and just use an open telescope like that, It's going to be absolutely amazing.
Yup, it's a lot of fun.

Yeah, Dustin doesn't do anything halfway.
What low budget telescope do you recommend? I'd prefer 1 that has orientation software capability. Or alternatively, should I just get a mount?

The plan is to have them all over the planet.
How are these remote systems funded and who is maintaining the rigs? I guess the question should be...where can we get more specific info on this?

Here's an interview with an astronomer who explains how to do it.

Yup, even if you could get up close it would actually be pretty meh.

Here's more info on the Stellina (which does resemble a Portal turret):

Pretty great telescope for what it is.
How expensive is the setup ?
It's about a $10K telescope
@Fraser Cain which telescope is $10k?

Definitely, we'll need a completely different telescope setup to do that, though, so it's in the works.
@@frasercain Thank you, that will be great, I look forward to it. Hopefully it will be on RUclips?
Man i want to put those on my wall where can i get pics like those
Talk to Dustin, I guess.
@@frasercain I'll dm him on Instagram
Saturn forever! : )
Best planet ever.

Everytime they said opt i was like beltalowda OPA
Hah, from the Expanse?
@@frasercain yup ! and epstein didn't kill himself
