      Thanks! The only reason I go through the configuration window is because I've previously helped people who didn't have that plugin 'load at startup' so it's a good way to quickly double check. It should be on by default and I plan on doing a longer series on just stellarium so I'll point it out in both sections.
      Clear skies!

    To add a track of where the comet is going to be: Use Ctrl-f to select the comet as shown in the video, Press F4, then Select the SSO tab (Solar System Objects), check the box next to "Show Orbits", and check the box next to "Only orbit for selected object...". This will show the path of the comet, and give you an idea of what the path is going to be as it heads away from the sun. If you can't find it with binoculars, take out your smart phone and take a picture of the general area where you think the comet should be. The comet should show up in the picture even if you can't see it with the naked eye. You might have to fiddle with the camera settings to get a longer exposure time, if your smart phone allows you to adjust the exposure time. Use a tripod and a phone holder for better results. Also use the delayed shutter release feature so that the camera doesn't jiggle when you press the shutter release. Practice setting your phone at home before you go out so that you are not trying to figure this out as the comet sinks below the horizon. You can also use your smart phone to take a picture of the Mars-Moon occultation.

    • @Naztronomy
      @Naztronomy  14 дней назад

      Excellent tip about seeing orbits!
      The 'take a picture' method is how I found Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS in October before sunrise. I used a DSLR instead of my phone but yeah, it's at tried and tested method.
      Clear skies!

    Hi Naz! Good news: My EduSnap smart 'scope is being shipped! He moved my shipping day up. I was 576 in line, and my 'scope is being shipped in the 1st. batch! I was in contact with someone there in Hong Kong, and they let me download the Beta app, and also 3D printed a solar filter holder that will fit my 'scope.. he also is sending me for free!] a case for the '
    scope, and an extra eyepiece! I didn't expect such a blessing! Also, he said he will ship it via air as far as possible, and then by boat.. This is so exciting! I'll let you know more once I get my 'scope.. Have a great day!!

    Thanks for the info on loading comets into Stellarium Naz, I do use that software but wasn't aware on how to load coments into it.
    Personally I think bright objects like Venus are best viewed before it gets too dark if you don't have suitable filters. I live in in the UK at 53°N, Venus becomes visible quite soon after sunset at the moment, while the sky is still relatively bright (Jupiter also becomes visible shortly after Venus). I've never tried looking for them when the sun is above the horizon. Sometimes a planet can be close to the. Moon in the sky, the moon of course being bright enough to be visible during daylight after about three days old, I would assume that this would help when trying to locate a planet by using the moon as a reference point.

    • @Naztronomy
      @Naztronomy  14 дней назад

      Yeah the moon definitely helps a lot. I'm going to keep trying for Venus during the day and if I can't find it before the moon comes around next month, I'll be able to use it as a reference point.

    • @Naztronomy
      @Naztronomy  14 дней назад

      Starting tomorrow (Jan 14th), you should be able to see it in the western horizon. It'll be really low so if you have stellarium, add the comet like I showed in the video and you'll get an idea of where to look.

    • @Naztronomy
      @Naztronomy  15 дней назад

      If it survives perihelion, you should be able to see it in the west after sunset. You can try spotting it during the day but be very careful. Use Stellarium like I showed in the video to get an idea of where it will be in your sky because it'll vary from location to location.
      Good luck!

      You should be able to see it right before sunrise the next few days and next to the sun for the next week or so during the day. Be careful if you're trying to observe during the day though.

    • @Naztronomy

      For the northern hemisphere, probably just another few days soon after sunset. It's really hard to tell. For the Southern hemisphere, they have another week. Last I saw it's still big and bright.

      Last observation from a couple of hours ago suggests that it's still alive. It's really close to the sun today and it should get better for you over the next few days.

      It's at perihelion now and as far as I know, the comet survived and is heading out. You should be able to see it in the western horizon after sunset starting Jan 14th. If you have stellarium, add the comet like I showed in the video and you'll get an idea of where to look.
      Good luck!
