Hey andrew when astronomers down under are trying to describe where a planet is. or where a comet is. or where the small magellanic cloud is. do they ever use magic words like. north of the sky. south of the sky halfway up. Or do they think they re helping you by telling you that it lies 2 degrees from beta cephei. Like i would help them find caen france by telling them it s near that cliff overlooking the atlantic

At least we’ll be able to see it near the end of the month, sadly it’ll be much fainter 😔

This is a very exciting time! I hope you are able to get out and see/photograph Comet NEOWISE while it is still here :) A special thank you to Alyn Wallace for taking time out of his hectic schedule to share some tips! Subscribe to Alyn's channel: kzread.info/dron/KxQ3Dx6K95hpLpdJjTRIlg.html

I live in India.. here the rainy season is in action, and for that the sky remains always cloudy!! I am a student but I just love to explore space!! I have no proper equipments to see or shoot stars, nebula, or any galaxy!! everytime I see in to sky it just excites me !! but having no proper tools everytime I got disapointed... I have only a DSLR and a cheap tripod and nothing else!! so I really cant set an exposer more than 20 sec, otherwise it starts to trail !! Though I do watch your video from very past!! it really encourages me !! but unfortunately NEOWISE will be missed for the bad weather!! EVERYTIME THIS AMAZING THING HAPPENES BUT ESCAPES AGAIN WITH A DISAPPOINTMENT ..............Take Care

I saw NEOWISE for the first time a few nights ago.. One of the most amazing times of my life, very touching too!

Great to see you guys together! Been following you both for a long time and love your work. Much respect.

The topic of "how to" quick and easy Neowise capture has been on my mind for days - thanks Trevor for answering this for me!

Such an absolute pleasure to watch your videos. The composition, music, and narration are the best on the web regardless of topic. You personally are getting me so excited about diving into this hobby.

Thanks Trev, that was fantastic seeing an interview with Alyn, his images and YT videos are just inspirational, and his last Neowise video just blew me away! I must have snapped 50-60 images of Neowise last night, I just couldn't stop staring at it whilst my camera kept clicking :)

I have learned SOOOO much from AstroBackyard! Thanks for being so dedicated and for sharing your journey. I refer all of my astro friends to this channel.

Thank you for making this!!!

That “this is not a drill” moment when you saw NEOWISE and rushed inside, is just priceless:D Inspired by Alyn Wallace’s very first video on NEOWISE, I went out on Saturday morning with my wife and our 7y old daughter, very special and emotional moment the first time you see it with your own eyes!

I live in the arctic. We're still in 24 hrs of daylight here. I've followed both your channels for over a year. You're both brilliant astrophotography advocates and educators, inspirational. You two should team up in person for events once this pandemic is over.

I go to college in an amazing place. We have a clear view of the horizon and a beautiful night sky. I am at home right now because of the pandemic. I live in a big city and you can probably imagine what the sky is like. Sirius looks like a dim little speck from here. It's frickin depressing. And somehow, right when I had to come back here, everything special decided to happen all at once. I missed the annular eclipse because of clouds (just like I've missed every other eclipse in the past 5 years). And now I'm just going to have to sit here as the comet does it's thing and returns back to the outer solar system... I hate this crap so much I wanna cry. Ik I'm ranting and nobody cares. But I don't give a damn, I just can't keep it in anymore. This is so damn broken.

Yeah, I loved Alyn's reaction, yesterday. He does some amazing work. Hopefully I'll get a shot of it in the following days.

You both taught me so much. So nice to see you both chat together. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I was so lucky, the sky cleared for the first time in two months and I photographed comet Neowise, with noctilucent clouds. For a second I thought I missed my alarm and was dreaming, it was too beautiful to be true. Amazing video and image as always Trevor:)

Finally we get a collaboration with Alyn! My two favorite astrophotographers man

I have been watching all these Neowise vids and just waiting...waiting for Astrobackyard to upload!!! Awesome ! So excited!

Hahahaha, i like your "HUH!" when you saw the comet and then ran for the setup :D Very good vidoe, Trevor, i really enjoyed it! I feel like this comet is some kind of blessing in time like this, with Corona and lockdown. From what i have seen, i can say that it unites people and makes their day\life just a little bit happier.

I just knew your special guest star was going to be Alyn! I saw his video yesterday and the joy he expressed in his video was amazing.

Timely video Trevor! Heading to the hills this evening to (hopefully) photograph NEOWISE, and sleep under the stars. BTW, Hale-Bopp was an awesome sight, and I can't wait to see this comet.

I was hoping this would happen one day. both of you are my inspiration for astrophotography. Thanks for the amazing content you put out.

thanks for liking my shots on twitter Trevor Im huge fan of yours and Alyn is just well a legend here in uk as of course are you great to see u both on same vlog awesome thank u huge thumbs up on this

Nice comet pic Trevor - thanks for that. I'll be on the hunt for C/2022 E3 (ZTF) here this month and was looking for some hints - so this video was helpful, as this will be my first attempt at a comet. I was also grinning to myself when I saw the utility lines in your picture as that makes me feel better that I'm not the only one that has those issues from their backyard too ! 😉

I absolutely love your videos and I’ve recently purchased my first telescope 🔭 your videos have definitely peaked my interest! Keep up the good work!

I’ve taken so many and it’s ALWAYS so exciting!! 😍❤️

WOW! GREAT VIDEO. THANKS FOR THOSE FANTASTIC SHOTS. SO AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!

Being in the Niagara area I always endeavour to update my observing skills. Thanks for your informative videos as they help me through the technical aspects that make this hobby so enjoyable.

Hey man! Im in Texas, edit: Eastern edge of Benbrook. Tried to catch it in the NorthWest after sunset, but after watching the video I think I'll have better luck in the morning! Please keep making great videos! I clicked this as soon as it notified me!

Legit video mate, your videos are always inspiring . So umm do you plan to do a video which show the best budget telescopes of 2020?

I get those goosebumps every time, for NEOWISE. It’s on my mind she glows in the night sky yeah.

I saw the video from Alan first an then I went to yours after random lol an then I find out you talk to him about him witnessing it for the first time. My 2 best astronomy KZreadrs talking together...How cool way to go guys

How amazing 😉...we’ll done Trevor... My god those cables are on the way there!!! This must be such an unreal experience... I’m in Australia 🇦🇺 so not able to see it... thanks for sharing

Awesome collab Trevor! I'll make sure to check out Alyn's channel. I can't wait to shoot my shot with NEOWISE in the coming days!!

Alyn Wallace does amazing astrophotography-sorcery with mostly DSLR and a lens (and tracker). Thank you for featuring him on your channel. (I'm jelaous that you're able to see it that clear with your own eyes. I'm too far north for it to even make a visual appearance in the night sky).

Hey man love your videos!❤

Hi Trevor, Very eager to find out how to process the images of the comet to get the ion tail visible... do you have any tips/suggestions?

Thank you for doing these videos. We are gathering an army against light pollution and your videos really help folks get interested in touching the night sky for themselves. Again, thank you Trevor.

An inspiring video, Trevor! It’s amazing how much astrophotography technology has advanced in a short period, from Halley’s Comet passing in 1986 (film) to Hale-Bopp in 1997 (film/primitive digital sensors) to Neowise today with megapixel technology of smartphones, DSLRs and CMOS cameras.

Thanks for the tips, re: how to take a picture of Comet Neowise! 👏🏻

That indescribable feeling awas absolutely one of the best feelings in the world when i first spotted Neowise last Thursday. Hope to have more experiences like it in the future

Great video as always. When I saw you running around, I thought you were going to go in the house and drag Ash out of here sleep to see comet.😂

Awesome Trevor! I hope to capture it tomorrow. It will be my first ever comet I photograph!

Amazing photo! Hoping the clouds clear up for me today so I can photograph it :) Update: I saw it and it was amazing!

Just awesome.... Thanks for sharing!

I got a shot this morning. It was really awesome to see it just hanging there in the sky. I definitely had chills. I also filmed it and will have a video over on my channel. BTW @astrobackyard I used many of your Image Processing Guide techniques on my processing for NEOWISE. Worked great!

So if the comet passes by a country at july 8, does the comet orbit back to the country?

hi Mr trevor hope all is well for you and family i have a question! the back weel on my camera which is use to selectvery low shutter spees isn’t working , so 1 second exposures is all i can do right now ,if i where to take like 120 single frames that will be like taking a 2 minute exposure right ? first time astro shooter

Where, and at what time can I see it? Please help!

One Question: Which focal lenght did you used? Maybe I´m going to photograph the comet today. I have nerver seen a comet before, so i am excited

I love your videos! Regards from Mexico!

I got a bunch of trees and houses where I live so I might have trouble seeing it later on when it’s in the evening sky. I live close to the 40*N horizon area do you know how high it will get there?

Great tips. It will be my first try at a comet.

Well done Lovely photo Not seen it yet here in London, but will get my binoculars out tonight and, weather permitting hope I see it!

oh man i remember hale-bopp! it was so big and bright that it was visible during the day! i was maybe 10 or 11 but never needed any visual aids to see it. neowise was a BEAUTIFUL binocular comet when i was finally able to see it at night in mid/late-july.

Great video, Trevor.

The ending with the music and picture of NEOWISE gave me chills!

I got to view it last night. So lucky to have experienced both Hale-Bopp and Neowise as an adult!

I just watched Alyn Wallace for the first time (comet video) before I saw this. I saw neowise last night and looked at it through my telescope and it is amazing!

ah ah i m watching this, editing my own picture of the comet i took one hour ago. was great for sure

Nice catch Trevor! Been cloudy here in AZ.

You two guys should come totgether More often! Thank You so mutch for the Interview.

What direction should I target to spot it? I haven't been able to find any proper source on timing and direction

Im in Ontario so is it too late to see it in the night? Also I have a canon camera so what would you suggest for the iOS be on

Does anyone know when it was or it visibly in the Philly area?

I just purchased a Celestron 31036 Astro Master Lt 76Az, was this a good choice as a beginner?

5 days in a row. Only saw it the last 2 nights. Absolutely amazing. So worth the no sleep. It seems unreal to think where it’s been and where it will end. I remember Hale Bopp. I made glow in the dark star comet pattern in my bedroom.

Amazing! Really cool

If people own the iPhone XR and don’t have night mode what adjustments u recommend for them for their camera or what app the download.

You're right about the reactions... it's a really intense feeling of rapture and awe. There's nothing to picture it than having it there in front of you.

I managed to get some shots of neowise a couple of nights ago. I'd never seen a comet with my own eyes before, it was an amazing experience. Fingers crossed for some clear skies in the coming days / weeks to catch it again.

I remember Hale-Bopp very well because I saw it while driving to Los Angeles and since I was in a dark area of the Central Valley of California, the comet was big and beautiful. I think most people who see a comet for the first time have no idea how fast it is going and likely think it is crawling along since you can't detect it moving due to the vastness of space and distance. It would have been nice to mention it's speed and also how long the visible tail is. Thanks for posting this and yes, comets can be thought provoking and make the cosmos come alive.

Thanks sir for information

I got a spectacular image of it friday morning with the Space Cat telescope.

Awesome, Alyn is a fantastic photographer!

loool I had the exact same reaction this evening. (And I ran everywhere too)

Hey my dude, what to make of the weather forecasts for today? Will it be pointless to go down to Stonehenge for Neowise? The usual forecasts show a cloud symbol... cheers.

I live in Northern Colorado and I saw Comet Neowise this evening from my backyard. I found it at 930 tonight in the north northwest skies. it was much higher in the sky than I expected. it looks very impressive in my 20x80 binoculars. it is still naked eye as well

You post great stuff man highly inspiring i would love to start astrophotography of deep sky objects like the andromeda galaxy . i have a refactor telescope of 6cm apperature but through it i could find some planets and the moon but not galxies and nebula so what are the accesories that i should begin with for capturing the deep sky objects like all the accessories needed for it please reply as fast as possible

Nice work Trevor ❤

Got my photos this morning! Used the Celestron app to locate it. I used the wide angle lens first, then my Nikon 200-500mm telephoto lens to zoom in. 2 second exposure did the job for me.

Hi, I just have a basic Nikon D3300, I couldn't see anything on the screen when using live view to shoot the Neowise. I had to guess and took photos. Thought I got it right and got some Neowise pictures but I couldn't zoom in and made it a larger image, it went out of the frame. How can I actually see from the screen when I take dark sky photos? Any settings I have to make?

Do you have any advice to capture NEOWISE? What time should I look for it? What day is best? Any tips could help!

Bruh I live in Iceland and it's bright 24/7 during the summer. This vid will have to do. Class video

Please give the link of the telescope you are using.

Looks like we wont have the opportunity to see it here at my location in the southern hemisphere until the 26th or 27th. Any word on how bright it will be then?

I'm considering using a 500mm F8 reflector lens in Northern Virginia which has a ton of light pollution. I can track with the clip-on GPS I have for my DSLR. Do you think I'll get anything? I may decide to do the 90 minute trip to Skyline Drive (Blue Ridge) though.

Comet Neowise was spectacular.

I have question. I have a refractor telescope and no matter what I do it will not focus. Any idea what I can do about this?

If it’s clear tonight I’m getting up to take some photos !

i saw a white thing moving cross the sky fast i can't tell full detail of it because i'm living in a town so it hard to see full detail of a comet do you think it was in the comet neowise?

Dude I didn't even go to bed and hiked 3 hours from 1230 at night to catch it at a specific location in Switzerland. But man, was it worth it! Thanks for your great video as usual!

Thanks Great video! I got some great shots last Saturday here in Washington State. I will be attempting spectroscopy on the comet this Wednesday or Thursday if the weather cooperates.

I looked out of my window, yesterday night, preparing to go to bed while everyone in the house was sleeping and i saw the comet. Without hesitation i grabbed my camera and tripod, woke everyone up in the process, and made over 100 pictures.

Amazing

What lens is that? Looks like maybe the EF 400mm f/5.6? I have to try to get out and get a picture

You and Alayne r best teacher of that students who have nothing but best teachers like both of you lots of love from Pakistan

I was wondering where is your neowise video... 😁 And as it happens i just ride back home from my neowise shoot, sadly i coudnt find it... I could see CAPELLA easy, but couldnt see the comet. Maybe it was to Late? It was around 3.00 ☹️ anyhow.. Great work as allways! Love your content!!

3:00 AM was WAY to early. Neowise was rising with the Sun. The last three days it was visible starting at 5:20 AM and later until the Sun finally peaked over the horizon for morning.

I had the great fortune to be on the eastern coast of Scotland on an airforce cadet trip when hale bopp last visited. The skies up there...wow.

Hi Trevor, can you do a video on how to convert a dobsonian into an equatorial telescope?

Friday I have another chance (3th is a charm right) I hope it’s still visibility and possible to photograph

Is it necessary for a comet to have a tail? Because, I saw a moving star like object diagnolly going to north from west. It was very bright but didn't have a visible tail. I'm so excited. Please let me know!! :)
