- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- In this video, I go over the astrophotography opportunities to capture Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) between the dates of January 20-28. Working with the comets proximity and the New Moon, these dates should give you some of the best opportunities. I am located in the northern hemisphere along the latitude of 41 degrees. Obviously, you will need to do a little research and adjust times for your latitude.
Thanks for very nice detailed information. Excellent efforts 👍
Thank you, great info. Really looking forward. Like you, we are having too many cloudy nights. Hopefully the sky will open long enough for some pic. Good hunting everyone.
On the night of 17 1 2023, the comet will be visible in the northern sky
Thanks George! The moon is one thing many articles are not highlighting. I have had a couple nights that are extra clear, but that big bright orb is such a downer! lol
I know what you mean. I have read articles and watched videos talking about how the best time to photograph it will be at this point in the comet's travel and I'm thinking... did you forget about that giant white orb lighting up the night sky? Especially if there is snow on the ground.
The Moon hid Saturn the day before 9-11-2001 and then hid Jupiter the day after 9-11. How strange?!!
I agree that the Moon hides things.
I hope you get some breaks in that atmospheric river and shoot some picks of the comet. For me I have trees to the north but Polaris is above them and I'll go for it when it comes close to Kochab in Asia Minor. Great update and Thank You.
I remember when I first saw it on December 28, it more resembled a small globular cluster, now it looks more of a round fuzzy object with a brighter center
Our Ancestors called Comet's such as this, "Hairy Stars," lol.
Great video George! Now let’s hope that the weather allows us to shoot. I would love getting images of a comet.
I know. I even keep looking to surrounding states, but the west is blanketed.
This Whole Planet Is In Clouds🤷🏼♀️
Thanks for this info. I know what you mean about getting out to shoot. I'm down the road here in Vegas and the weather here has sucked pretty much for the past two months as well.
Yeah, you guys are feeling the pain too.
Really looking forward to this one! Thanks for these updates! I already got some images of it can’t wait to get more
If you're not in our Facebook group, Astro Venture DSLR, I would love to see you post the images so I can check it out.
Thank you for a gr8 informative video! I'm just starting astronomy, and have no experience with astrophotography, but I'm hoping for clear skies for this awesome event!! Using Polaris as a reference should make it easy to spot, with decent atmospheric conditions! Thank you again, and clear skies!!
Subscription added! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you
Il'l be dusting of the 25 x 100's for this one!!
The ion trail will point away from the star because of the solar wind
thanks. i will try these dates out!
Just picked this up today. Looks like I’ve missed it. What a pain! Weather pretty bad anyway. Typical!
Plenty of opportunity still.
@@astroventure2221 Thanks. Looking forward to it. I’ll keep my eyes open. Haven’t seen one since Halle Bopp. Think that was back in ‘95. Many thanks for keeping guys like me updated with this information. Not sure what we’d do without you! Take care.
@@peterclarke3990 you're welcome.
Thanks! Very nice video! I know it depends on field of view but you might mention, next time, what deep sky objects may be visible with the comet. I know Stellarium is capable of showing one this information by entering the telescope focal length and diameter of the objective lens or mirror and camera sensor size. Then Stellarium will give you a rectangle or square showing what you might capture with that particular setup. It's always nice to show a background object such as a galaxy, nebula or star cluster. As if the comet Itself isn't beautiful enough on its own.
Thank you so much for sharing!! I loved learning of this Triangulation scenario from you and also where a piece of the Comet is broken off!!
I am very interested in the day and time that this Comet reaches the North Star Polaris and then heads out? If you could help, this would so greatly be appreciated!! Thank you so much!!
It won't get any closer to Polaris. It will rise higher and then arc around Polaris and then down.
@@astroventure2221
Thank you so much for your reply!! I have researched where I found that this Comet will be out of our solar system by February 11th, 2023. I hate to bother you, but would you happen to know the date of the arc starting to go over Polaris? Maybe the time also?
I'm so sorry for asking and may have something to share with you and your other viewers!!
@5thRibRoar'N I can look into it. What is your location - nearest big city?
@@astroventure2221
Washington, DC
Thank you so much!!
Your positioning of the dates at the top of the screen obscured the big dipper which in middle Georgia is easily seen . The little dipper is more difficult to visualize as it is not as bright as the big dipper.
Sorry for that.
Thank you for the very helpful video. I may need to dust off a tracker, a DSLR, and a lens.
If the skies are clear it seems to be a good one. Get into Stellarium.org, watch this week's video with links below it on how to add ZTF and you can plan your time and dates for your specific location. Good luck hunting it down.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. Now to figure out what gear to use. I have never photographed a comet so this will be special. I would imagine that you would need some reach to see any detail.
Reach is going to be your friend on this one.
Thank you very much great info here. What time zone are you talking, so I can adjust here on the east coast?
Mountain. It's best to add ZTF to Stellarium.org so you can get it even more precise.
Thank you so much, I’ll let you know how we make out….same as you dealing with snow/clouds🤦♂️😊
Astro all the way
I heard Feb 8th, early morning before dawn. Possible naked eye sightings?
Hi Comet :)
Depending on the darkness of the skies. Good luck.
Cool content and much appreciated . On another comet subject , the comet name should be much simpler than the names & designations these days .
These names can be brutal.
Are these eastern times or pacific times?
Mountain at 41 degrees north.
Hello I am in the Netherlands, are the times and cardinal directions the same for my case?
I just used the coordinates for Amsterdam in Stellarium.org and it looks like it's pretty good for your location.
@@astroventure2221 bolton/greater Manchester/Manchester pls
what time zone are you in?
Mountain, northern Utah.
Is visible for the southern hemisphere?
In February it will move south.
Thnx for the content, any advice o suggestions for someone whos going to Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. What time or date ?
In February the comet will be heading south. I suggest watching this week's video. It has links to adding comet ZTF to the free program Stellarium.org and from there you will be able to enter your location and determine your best date and times. Good luck.
Im Not Even Getting Excited Anymore,I Havent Seen The Sky Enough To Have A Scope Out Since 17 Oct,and Considering Returning My Christmas Present Which Is A 72ed..Just Give Ip
You’re not alone!! I too haven’t got to use my Christmas present we’ll get through this!! Future you will be thanking yourself for not returning it when you can finally get out and use it
@@gettingoveritwiththomass3153 ,Well,Its Not Going To Be This Week Either As Per Weather😡🤬😡,Ive Got A 6se,An AR102/1000 and My Evoguide50ed,So Its Not Like I Cant Enjoy The Sky,But This Has Been A Dream Set Up For Me That Wouldnt Kill My Bank😂The 72ed,My Evoguide50ed,On The Eqm35 Pro,And Its Finally Complete,and Has Never Seen A Star🤨Im In NWPA Appx 1.5-2 Hrs North Of Pittsburgh,Been Wanting To Take The Camper To Cherry Springs,Which Is Only 3 Hours,Good Luck To You Mate.God Bless and Clear Skies🙏🏻❤️✨🔭🌏
When will it be the brightest
After The Moon Sets😁..Its Going To Be Between 6-7 Mag,There Are Documentaries On It Already..Check NASA
@@PafMedic i was asking about which day, like when will it be the closest to us
Feb 1, but you will be dealing with the moon.
Remember people live at different latitudes, so saying the time isn't really that helpful.
It is helpful to those in the northern hemisphere that do live around the same latitude of northern Utah - which I often mention is where I live. I also count on people being able to take the information and adjust. Clear skies.
@shaunsprogress ... It is my impression that *latitude* will be a determinant for how high above the horizon an object will appear to the viewer and that the *longitude* of the location of the viewer will determine what *time* to look for said object
@@earthlingjohn that is correct. That's why in the information it stated my latitude and that you will have to adjust. If you are further north than 41 degrees it will be higher. Lower than 41 degrees and it will be lower.
@@astroventure2221
We can only hope that @shaunsprogress understands my comment that the *latitude of the viewers location determines distance above horizon and longitude of the viewers location determines when to look*
@shaunsprogress, if a given time is for east coast u.s.a. or london then your longitude and simple addition or subtraction will give the correct time for *your* location
@@earthlingjohn and thanks for your input. Collectively we all improve with great conversation.
Too dim to see. Just like Kahoutek.
It's still getting closer - fingers crossed.
