JWST: I'm the latest technology man has created. Chris: Floats around in space.

It took about 3 years into my astrophoto-journey to realize: Hey, the eagle nebula is in summer right up there, in the middle of the milky way! So two years ago I pointed my 6‘‘-telescope in the right direction, took dozens of pictures, let siril do all that stacking-calibration-magic and BHAM! There it was, not only the beautiful nebula, but in the center the pillars of creation clearly visible! One of my fondest memories, because it made all these fascinating pictures of the gran telescopio, hubble and webb so much more real to me, having captured them out of my back yard with gear worth about 3000 $. Thx for a fun video as always👍!

The JWST mirrors are made of polished Beryllium with a very thin Gold coating to be precise. Very good job on green screen especially showing the true scale of the space telescopes

Excellent work Kudos to you and Portsmouth University

Thanks Dan! 🥳🚀

Binoculars are likely the fastest way to really appreciate the stars. Even a basic binocular will collect enough light to see many more stars than what we can do with our naked eyes. And the field of view will be wide enough to get a sense of scale. Try scanning around the direction of Sagittarius with some binos on a dark night.

Your videos are keep getting better. I like the new style

@@ChrisPattisonCosmo Many thanks Chris. I intended to mention the University in my comment but posted too soon! Astronomical events seems to be coming in thick and fast. Are you able to do a video on the Radcliffe Wave, which appears to be a giant, oscillating wave in our galaxy?

Stunning video, Chris! Well done!

Thanks very much! Hoping to do more of these in the future with the university!

Another absolute banger! Love this video CP, great work!

My favourite telescope is, obviously, JWST---but then I'm not paying for it.

Amazing video Chris. Love your new setup.

Excellent video. Sadly can’t see that many stars in the night sky in Pompy.

I really believed that you travelled to L2 to shoot this vid on location.

I'm not sure that ten billion is a good number for the JWST as so much of its cost was in making to fold into a rocket cone and the shield to stay cold . It would be 10% the price or less if it stayed on Earth

Glad your back Brilliant video Chris / Thank you Portsmouth University 👍 🚀🛰🛰🌙🌞🌞🌞

Thank you Stephen! Sorry videos have been a bit sporadic recently, I've been moving house and it's been hard to keep up with everything!
