I love the small personal observatory!!!

I've meant to say something for some time now... Actually, as an amateur astronomer trying to make sense of the universe, these videos have been a window of understanding, opening ever wider horizons for me and my humble telescope. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work.

Great videos Brady! your chanels are the best. still going through all DeepSky videos and i cant wait to cach up with your recent updoads! So much information :)

loving this channel.

Really enjoying this series! Thank you so much. Can't believe I only just got found it!

great to have you here!

Absolutely, depending on your light pollution you should be able to see all of the 110 Messier objects some may require low horizons though, only a few at that. Stellarium is great, just enter your location, search for the object you want to find and it will take you to that position, then just "star hop" until you find the object. An important note is make sure the finderscope is aligned to the main tube, it will help a lot!

I always love the way Professor Mike explains things.

152 video views in the first 12 minutes since posting. Your channel is becoming more popular all the time. WIN!

Wow! He pulled that image right in -- beautiful! These videos are a treasure. Thanks!

I always thought that planetary nebulae got their name from early scientists confusing them with proto-planetary disks not actual planets. I guess that's why I still watch videos even when they look like they're about something that I already know. Every person has a new gem of information to add. :-) Thanks!

I love these videos, it inspires me even further to get started with more serious astronomy. Saving up for a starter rig for astro-photography, I still have a way to go to do deep sky as the ones I have seen here. But keep the videos coming, and I'll keep on joining the good cause :)

I saw this through my telescope the other night. Fantastic object. Such a rewarding and interesting target.

5:12 The Bat signal!

That is actually really cool, thanks man.

lovely and educative.

Glad i subscribed to this channel, really nice content.

Wow, I can understand why the DSV-videos are relatively scarce. However, you should prioritize this channel ;) Great work!

It looks like an apple core to me. Thanks for the video!

Great scope to start with and is well worth the money. It is probably the best starter scope to have and you will have much joy with it. Download stellarium if you haven't already which will help you locate Messier objects, planets etc. Good Luck!

One of my favorite objects to image.

That first picture shown is "false color" which is not seen when we look through a telescope - when looking at it through a telescope it is "black and white" and through my 17 1/2 inch reflector it looks like a "dumbbell".

God these videos are great.

Hoping to see a video about Hoag's Object in this series. Almost nothing to be found about that galaxy, it'd be interesting to know what astronomers think of such a visually interesting galaxy.

A planetary nebula comes from a relatively low mass star (like our sun) and is a "gentle" explosion that takes a long time. A supernova is the death of a high mass star and is a sudden explosion, way bigger and brighter than a planetary nebula. If I'm right :)

Doesn't the exposure length interfere with the results (given earths rotation)?

Don't suppose Nik can give tutorials, tips/tricks videos on taking photos of object in the sky for those beginner astrophotographers :D that would be awesome

Wait, I thought I knew about all of your channels! I only know 5 out of 10 of these, I guess I have a couple more channels I need to subscribe to. :D

Bow-ties are cool!

Thanks a lot im downloading it now and do you know if it is anygood with objects outside our solar system? i know im just getting started and will take me a while but once i get good enough will it pick up clusters and things?

Wow that's a really good image. I wasn't especting that at all to ge honest really well done. What is the size of that telescope by the way?

The Dumbbell Nebula is not exploding, quite the opposite in fact. The Dumbbell Nebula is a planetary nebula made up of the remnants of a red giant star in the final stages of it's life. The red giant pushes off it's outer layers until it becomes a White dwarf and thus we are left with a planetary nebula with a single White dwarf star in the centre

Can anyone tell me the specifics of Nik's telescope or link a video where Brady or Nik told the specifics.

I love your videos! Whats the name of your other site? Sixty what?

hello i'am Matt 21 and i'am new to astronomy i bought Brian cox's Wonders of the solar system and universe about a year ago and have been hooked ever since Anyway I'm about to buy my first telescope and i have looked about and come across SkyWatcher Skyliner-200P Just need a bit of advice if its worth the money or not? Also could anyone tell me if there are any good astronomy magazines to buy? Thanks Matt

Also, what you see through the eyepiece won't be the same as you see in these images. Make sure your eyes are dark adapted and use averted vision to see the most detail. A lot of beginners make the mistake of believing that the images they see is going to be the same through the eyepiece.

Hey Brady, is there anyway you could include what kind of telescope they are using to image? The one Nik uses is completely unfamiliar to me. Or is there a link I could find this information? Thanks!

I've always thought it looked like an apple core- the Apple Core Nebula.

RIP Nik's pear tree.†

after all these videos i still don't know the difference between a planetary nebula and a supernova :S can anyone explain?

There's already a bow tie nebula. Not sure of a cat # though.

If you take a 2 hour exposure, wouldn't the earth's rotation interfere with the results?

Also nebulae to not explode. A supernova can only happen when a star is AT LEAST 50 times the mass of the Sun

Could a CME gone wrong from our Sun, create an unexpected "nebula" in our Solar System? If not, why not? Lke terrait, "Always happy to see these (episodes} in my (inbox)", too. Great work! Roy Lewis Buffalo, New York USA

2:06 I can't be the only one who saw the Eye of Sauron there.

I thought it was 8-9 solar masses?

Bow-tie nebula FTW!

indeed it does get called the Apple Core Nebula! ;)

That's what motorised telescopes are for. They compensate for earth's rotation. :)

What software is Nik using for auto-guiding?

Actually it's Maxim DL pro. I caught a glimpse of it in another video.

You mean "cylon base star".

hour glass nebula

How does a nebula explode? A star goes nova or super nova doesn't it? What allows for a significant part of a galaxy (definition of a nebula) , ie. millions and millions of stars to simultaneously explode? I am confused. This cannot happen can it? The Dumbbell Nebula is exploding??

always a full moon

such a nice mullet

Nice planetary nebula in a small telescope! This is an invitation to see an artist theory on the physics of light and time! This theory is based on just two postulates 1. Is that the quantum wave particle function Ψ or probability function represents the forward passage of time itself 2. Is that Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆p×≥h/4π that is formed by the w-function is the same uncertainty we have with any future event within our own ref-frame that we can interact with!
