@SFSCargobob I've just found it, it looks ace, i'll likely pay for the full game. Tbh I have actually heard of space engine before, but never realised what was possible within the game, so thank you again for bringing that to my attention, most appreciated my friend.
Watching a video like this every now and then, instantly brings inner peace and a feeling of humbleness that makes all pain fade away. There is so much we still don’t know. We truly reside inside of a miracle, and that alone, makes life a miracle. Thank you for this reminder
those people a thousand years ago had absolutely no idea what they were looking at when the crab nebula was formed. it must have been scary and spectacular
Why does society assume ancient people were stupid? If you believe in Evolution, then society has devolved, meaning people are actually stupider today.
Enjoyed that immensely, Damon. As an Australian now living in the UK, I really miss the Southern Hemisphere skies. I had a few decent telescopes back in Oz, which included a 6" refractor made by a retired British Royal Navy optical engineer who had moved to Fremantle near Perth. His eyesight was not the best anymore due to age so he sold it to me but I had to audition for it over several visits before he was satisfied that this fantastic telescope was going to someone who would use it and respect it. Many amazing sights later, including the incredible Omega Centauri, Jewel Box in Crux and the area around Shaula in Scorpius as well as all the planets, I had to let it go when I moved to the UK., due to it's bloody big size and weight. Just being out in the WA desert is stunning, zero light pollution...you don't even need a telescope so if you ever get the chance, you'll be stunned how many more stars there are to the naked eye compared to the Northern Hemisphere. Thousands!! Watching your posts is the next best thing so thanks very much.
I traveled to Nevada a lot in the U.S. (business), there is a valley about 220 miles (300 km) north of Las Vegas (Smokey Valley)......on the often clear nights, in the winter you can drive by starlight with your lights off its so bright!......also, I have seen meteorite activity so bright in central Nevada that you can see it come in the earths atmosphere even in the daytime and watch big ones come in blue (green sometimes), break up and turn white!
I'm a life science person, but I also like astronomy. I've always loved watching the sky - clouds in the daytime, moon and stars at night. Of the three science classes that I was required to take in college, astronomy was one of them. I did my term paper on comets. I was so inspired that I translated the paper into Spanish (my minor), and also wrote a poem, (I majored in English) and translated that into Spanish also.
Why? And if you are into life science why don’t you make yourself useful and majored in physics or astronomy? Lol. Sorry someone I know is an English major and she has no jobs lol
Astronomers have known for a long time small satellite galaxies often orbit large galaxies, including our own Milky Way galaxy. There are a few dozen dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way. Many of them will likely collide and merge with our galaxy in the distant future. Many of them merged with the Milky Way in the past and added to the size of our galaxy. So there were likely many more dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way billions of years ago.
What’s even crazier is how f you flip what you said. And someone in a different part of the nebula is looking at the same thing and saying the same thing. Think about that😅
Just found your channel and instantly subscribed, I love those " amateur " astronomer presentations, this one was among the best I've seen. The thing that bogles me the most, is , why do astronomers focus on those distant objects all the time? Trying to figure out what is many light years away, my favorite videos are when one of you point your fancy equipment at the moon, I love seeing unfiltered/hopefully uncensored views. I've seen tons of footage of the moon but the vast majority is broadcast by one government or another. Someday I'd like to see it up close with my own eyes, unfiltered, untill than I hope some of you that know what you're doing and have the equipment make a presentation and share what you know and can see
I learn so much from your videos. Space used to be so scary to me but now it just brings me peace and calmness and makes me realize I’m part of this amazing universe and meant to be here. The one called the Statue of Liberty looked like an angel to me 😇🩵
hi and thanks for the video! I've started watching astro photography channels to try to understand the motivations of the people behind them. With the examples you mentioned, surely the Hubble/other telescopes (or even other people using the same remote telescope service) also keep making similar photos, so how is this different than taking photos of the mona lisa painting over and over? Yes, in the example you mentioned the crab nebula expanded, but surely that was recorded as well and posted somewhere right?
Very interesting and well-done video! As someone who was very deep into astrophotography (and AIC), I can say I am impressed with how much imaging has changed and the technology just keeps getting better. It is a shame that my 20" RCOS sits in my observatory with its 16803 CCD and 7 filters without use for the last 5 years as I enjoy other hobbies. I am satisfied with the fact that we helped pave the way for young hobby scientists like yourself who are inspiring others like you do. Maybe someday I will fire it back up as it was an amazing long-time robot for me. Kindest Regards!
Reminded me of our insignificance and the greatness and vastness of the universe. I hope one day my kids can be as fascinated as I am about space, and will have the apportunity to experience interstellar flight. Liked and subed.
Whenever I see an astro channel with so many subs, the reason is always the same: amazing storytelling! You really inspire me as a content creator - my highest respect!
I live in the Adirondack Mountains of New York over in the US so if you ever come to america take those pictures here! There is very little light pollution where I live in amish country and the sky always looks beautiful at night from the naked eye
Damon, could you tell me what the designation for that galaxy next to CG 4 is? I've been trying to pull up this nebula in Telescopius and it's not finding it at all. I can pull the RA and DEC coords from Wiki pretty easily, but I'd love to look at the framing of it. I just need to get close enough to scan around and find it. Amazing picture by the way!
I have to ask sir, did you make those 3D models of the horsehead and helix nebulae? And if not, is that kind of resource available somewhere, I would love to look at those! This video was awesome. And if you did make those, all hats off to you.
A piece of me died when he . mentioned light pollution. I grew up in a small town near Houston, in the 70s and 80s. I could see the Milky Way out my bedroom window. Now, I live 20 miles outside of town in the same area and on the best night, the sky is brighter than town was as a kid. Its air pollution too, planets are featureless blobs, below about about 35° altitude; need about 45° minimum for any kind of detail.. They sky, on the darkest night, is grey.
Are the images that you see of the planets actually live footage of the planets? I wanna get a telescope but idk if what u see is the actual planet or a fake picture of the planet
If this guy doesn’t have his own tv show, might I ask.. WHY NOT!? If he produced this himself then I must say BRAVO! Simply amazing, awesome, beautiful, memorizing, ethereal.
Great video! I don’t have a telescope 🔭 at the moment, for now when I need a break from earth I put on my VR and immerse myself in Space Dream. 😅 Thanks for sharing, I’m going to have to invest in a beginner’s telescope.
Watching you Brits freeze in the clouds always reminds me to be grateful for 330 day of sun, warm weather and bortle 1-2 skies just a 2 hour drive away in any direction here in Arizona. Having said that, I still would like to try out a scope that I will never actually want to pay for at a place I’ll probably never visit
Omega centauri from southern California is pretty nice, it is still pretty low in the sky, so you need a low southern horizon. I had found a turnout on Palomar mountain and got a decent image of it back in the day with a modest nikon d50, which is not known as a great astro camera, but I already had a few old manual nikon lenses and figured it was my best bet in my budget. Since I soon found myself hunting for used nikon AF lenses so I could fully use the auto focus and exposure of the camera, I wish I had bought a Canon for the extra red sensitivity, since I really needed to buy new lenses anyway since mine were all old manual ones. I have also been able to view omega from a 22" observatory scope and many other large scopes from my c11 to dobs as big as 28". Also in the area was centaurus A galaxy which is also pretty cool with that big dust lane in the middle
The first time I watched this video I commented what I liked about the first image was the incredible number of stars visible. After watching it again I discovered something else I liked; the 3D animations you had for some of the objects.
Best bang for your buck is a Dobsonian style model. An 8 inch is usually the sweet spot. You can get them as push to or goto (motorized tracking). Orion, Skywatcher etc. That’s a tripod mounted dobsonian telescope. I’m guessing it’s a 6 inch. Larger than that they are on a swivel style mount on the ground. It resembles a cannon.

😫😩😫😩😫
@SFSCargobob wow that sounds awesome! Thanks! I'll look into that!

The North Hemisphere has more artificial light. You have to go to mountains or deserts to see the real number of stars here.
I trust you have cut your losses and gone home at this point?

Love this channel so much!
Thanks for letting us see these celestial beauties through your lens.
One of the best astrophotography videos I’ve seen on RUclips! Really interesting and well done!
You did an incredible job. What I believe is crazy is that life in one of those nebulae may never even know they are in a nebula!
What’s even crazier is how f you flip what you said. And someone in a different part of the nebula is looking at the same thing and saying the same thing. Think about that😅
top job Damon. extremely informative and entertaining
where's the $140,000 telescope
on ebay
Use a white sheet next time on the backdrop so the image from the projector is more clear
Damon, I watch astro videos all the time and I want you to know, this video was simply amazing. To the point and so well done!
I like looking up at the stars, but you make me love looking up at the stars
This was a great episode. The dives into star clusters and nebulas were astounding.
Lol you guys cant see shit.
Jesus loves you & made a way for our sins to be forgiven. Turn to Christ & repent for eternity in Heaven!
always glad to see your videos, keep it up man

Much easier to fake pictures of things that no one outside of a handful of people will ever know if they were real or not
I learn so much from your videos. Space used to be so scary to me but now it just brings me peace and calmness and makes me realize I’m part of this amazing universe and meant to be here. The one called the Statue of Liberty looked like an angel to me 😇🩵
This was a really great video!!! Thanks for the very good work here!
one suggestion would be to say the catalog number for the targets you discuss rather than just their names.
Can anyone tell me what telescope was used ? the specs, etc ...
Maybe I’m missing something, but I’ve seen (and photographed) very similar final products with my 8se and Canon Rebel t3i.

I have to wonder, what someone with such good equipment can simply move onto other hobbies while leaving the it forgotten for so many years.
Reminded me of our insignificance and the greatness and vastness of the universe. I hope one day my kids can be as fascinated as I am about space, and will have the apportunity to experience interstellar flight.
Liked and subed.
Are these videos edited? Looks like the contrast and temp was rased/lowered....
Whenever I see an astro channel with so many subs, the reason is always the same: amazing storytelling! You really inspire me as a content creator - my highest respect!
I live in the Adirondack Mountains of New York over in the US so if you ever come to america take those pictures here! There is very little light pollution where I live in amish country and the sky always looks beautiful at night from the naked eye
Happy holi Damon 🙏✨
Love your channel !!
Such a great video as usual. Don’t ever stop uploading
Superb content 👌
How did you manage to get access to those large telescopes to image yourself?
Are these real colors which are seen as through telescope?
can you make a video on trying to photograph ceres 15 march it then has the perfect location with thousands of galaxies in the background
where do you go to see all these stars in the sky i got too much light pollution to see anything but a few stars:(
Great video. Subscribed :)
Nice presentation! Subbed and looking forward to more!👍
This is one of my favourite videos on the internet!
Are the colors added on these electronic telescopes or is this unedited
Damon, could you tell me what the designation for that galaxy next to CG 4 is? I've been trying to pull up this nebula in Telescopius and it's not finding it at all. I can pull the RA and DEC coords from Wiki pretty easily, but I'd love to look at the framing of it. I just need to get close enough to scan around and find it. Amazing picture by the way!
Space takes my breath away. Even when I look at the moon through my telescope I lose my breath. It's just so beautiful and there's so much to learn!
Which is why I love these videos!🌌
Been thinking about getting a beginner telescope and i came across this and dude i love your back yard set up!
I have to ask sir, did you make those 3D models of the horsehead and helix nebulae? And if not, is that kind of resource available somewhere, I would love to look at those! This video was awesome. And if you did make those, all hats off to you.
Amazing videos, I forwarded your recent ones to my worldwide Twitter Astro peeps who also loved them. Keep looking up, thank you and clear skies
Thank you very much, I appreciate the support 😁🙏
Hey, question. Did you build that dome yourself to view out of at night?
Brilliant video, had me captivated.
Do you ever go live?
were these pictures all visible light or is there also some infrared in it?
I'd imagine most married men spending $140k on a telescope would see divorce papers.
He is not buying a $140k telescope, he is buying time on a $140k telescope.
If he's smart enough to have $140k of disposable income I doubt he ever got married in the first place.
Wives are overrated 😂
Boy, someone opened a can of worms

With all the work to shoot this, you should have at least hung a white sheet on the garage door. Good vid though.
Yep
Thank you so much for sharing. My eyes light up with facination how an expensive telescope can capture these amazing powerful images of nebulas.....
Man when that image zooms & zooms & zooms on gods hand, how can you fathom the sheer scale of the cosmos
Thank you for teaching me about "Dark Nebulae" Fascinating
I really really love your videos.
Are these images actual unfiltered photographs or are they composites created by artists?
Are the images that you see of the planets actually live footage of the planets? I wanna get a telescope but idk if what u see is the actual planet or a fake picture of the planet
If this guy doesn’t have his own tv show, might I ask.. WHY NOT!? If he produced this himself then I must say BRAVO! Simply amazing, awesome, beautiful, memorizing, ethereal.
Very well explained.
damn great video congrats for 100k
Really enjoy your knowledge and footage mate.
But do you live in america as if not i dont understand why you use dollars instead of pounds? Cheers.
Bro what about Meade 16 &/8 I will buying this soon could you tell me should I buy or there is any other good option
Hi, Damon Scotting ! Your video's are amazing ! Keep going !
Absolutely fascinating!
Quick question SETI or METI?
I remember this from the sims ☝️
2:27 ahahah literally what I was thinking "oh that kinda looks more like a sand worm rather than a hand"
“Mystic Mountain” would be cool to see. Not sure amateur scopes for AP can pick up on it
I clicked on this video thinking I was going to see some real images. I was not expecting to be watching a cartoon. What a great joke.
Great video! I don’t have a telescope 🔭 at the moment, for now when I need a break from earth I put on my VR and immerse myself in Space Dream. 😅
Thanks for sharing, I’m going to have to invest in a beginner’s telescope.
Solid!
Top KEK!
Peace be with you.
Thanks for the great tour of mind blowing universe. Please take us for more of these journeys :D.
Editing Tips: If you don't mind try to minimize editing by using white and black colors, and make the corners of the images round.🙃
do you see planets other than Jupiter, Mars in the distance etc?
Very interesting exposé
What was the first telescope you used?
Excellent video
Youre amazing! honestly
🌃🌠🌃🌠 amazing!
More about the telescope please.
Watching you Brits freeze in the clouds always reminds me to be grateful for 330 day of sun, warm weather and bortle 1-2 skies just a 2 hour drive away in any direction here in Arizona.

Hi! Amazing! Thank you!!!
What is it about globular clusters that mesmerizes? I've trained my telescope onto them many, many times and just sat there staring at it.
Well done!

how did they create twlecope
Excellent work.
What's a good telescope to start with
The first time I watched this video I commented what I liked about the first image was the incredible number of stars visible. After watching it again I discovered something else I liked; the 3D animations you had for some of the objects.
What is the best telescope for beginners? I just got some money and thinking about buy one, and what was the telescope at the start of the video?
Best bang for your buck is a Dobsonian style model. An 8 inch is usually the sweet spot. You can get them as push to or goto (motorized tracking). Orion, Skywatcher etc.
That’s a tripod mounted dobsonian telescope. I’m guessing it’s a 6 inch. Larger than that they are on a swivel style mount on the ground. It resembles a cannon.
Why ur channel is so underrated
Gods hand looks like a crab claw lol
Hi, where is sinestro??
Astronomical class series. Just found out keep going
