    Fun video Cuiv ! (MS flight sim is well regarded graphically so I guessed it was correct .. and I've taken enough photos of the moon with my iPhone enough to know that intuitively :)

      Hey Dylan! Thanks mate! Now the moon just needs a 14 inch SCT to rob it of all it's secrets :)

    LOL. I am sure you have some really technical videos coming up in the New Year to overcompensate. Thanks for all the entertainment, inspiration and insights, and have a good Christmas.

    You are right, it is funny to oi this check. It is also very usefull to do this check on true astrophotographic images. By example checking the focal length of the instrument knowing the pixel size (pixel scale).

    Nice one. As someone who used to be a professional mathematician this is the kind of content I love.

    It’s so typical of our times that people who know nothing (or at least very little) still believe they have the right to judge things solely on the basis of their ignorance.

      Awesome! Do they have old timey astro compasses in there?

  • @JoeBob79569

    An interesting question though, is does the simulator account for the moon illusion when the moon is on the horizon, or does the illusion itself still "work" in the simulator?
    Or in photos?
    Like when does the illusion "break"?

    Hey, I had a question, could you do a comparison of the various Smart Telescopes like the S50, S30, and Dwarf 3 in a high light pollution area like Tokyo and a rather low light pollution are like rural Fukushima? Like take a 1 hour capture of Andromeda, and a Nebula with each telescope, so that we can see the difference between how these telescopes perform in a Class 8-9 sky vs a class 1-2 sky. Your captures of Andromeda from Tokyo are impressive, but what sort of difference would there be if you didn't have to deal with light pollution?

    Things like this are just so confusing for folks with little understanding of size, scale and perspective.

    It looks too small because it is a very wide angle in the game.
