The Triangle is of course paramount, and easy to locate with the naked eye. Delphinus being just outside of the Milky Way arm helps a lot as well for this one. Thanks for your video series.

I was out just the nigth before, by the open ocean in the east. had a clear wiew of these still, but the fullmoon was a bit in the way, yet beautifull.
Beautiful. Good job. You could analyze constellations, one by one, indicating the video path for each one. Thank you
Thanks so much. Now i know where my name comes from.
i find Aquila using Scorpio and Antares, Altair is an easy star to see, great video!!

It really is an easy star to find. Using Antares is another great way to find Altair...thank you for sharing. 😀
Really cool! Thanks once again! 😉👊
Great job 💚 I need to photograph this soon!
thanks
I know that the eagle overlaps with the sign of Capricorn and Aquarius in a period ranging from January 6th to 25th. Based on this statement I can say that I am from the constellation of the eagle, since I was born on January 8th
awsome
Altair is perfectly above the east around 11:30 pm in eastern europe

Aquila may be scorched, but her eagle will continue to eternally soar in the sky with glory, as her sons are made of iron.

Aquila dates from January 14th-28th it's associated with Capricorn and Aquarius
What camera did you use to photograph Aquila?

I actually purchase my photos. I hope one day I can graduate to taking amazing photos of the stars. Finding good constellation pictures is a constant challenge for me.
It would be a shame if skorpio just burned down their forest but sill we could pass it off as ludicrous tomfoolery
If you were born on January 14th-28th your an eagle🦅
