@DHLaShomb - ah well, I don't want to overdo it. But I'll be including these types of things when it is appropriate and adds something extra to the object(s) I'm discussing that week.
Im glad I found this youtube site.... Im an amateur and have no clue till I saw your vids. Before I would aim my scope like a bazooka now I polar align thanks to you dave
@MANNY222 - by the way, check out the new website for eyesonthesky too. I have an all new glossary / astronomy terms under the "Resources" section, so if you're unsure of what something means, you can probably find it there. And if not, let me know and I'll add it!
I am glad I ran into you :) Can you make a video about 'drift alignment of an equatorial mount'? (The same way you did on 'polar alignment'). The Light pollution is so much at my place (13N, 78E) that I dont see the pole star at all! BTW, Subscribed :)
@apotla007 - Thanks you! I have quite a few "how to" videos that are on a list 'to be made,' but honestly finding the time to make them is challenging. The weekly ones take 15-20 hours each, and "how to" videos take even more time to make. A drift-alignment video is on the to-do list, but is probably a ways off - unless a sponsor of some kind came along, which would allow me to spend more time making these.
Your videos are incredibly informative and entertaining. Keep up the good work!!

I could get used to these depth and orientation examples every week ;)
Another great job!

Good upload.
BTW, i've managed to see an 'S' shaped M1, with only a 60mm telescope.

@blobrana - thanks blobrana. You must have had some very dark skies to be able to see that in M1, yes?

@eyesontheskyDOTcom
Yes, dark skies, and a low/fast focal length.
