Inside the Isaac Newton Telescope - Deep Sky Videos

[valiumsummer]

I... Love...These... Videos.  Thankyou...Thankyou...Thankyou­....THANKYOU!

[BigGreezyJake]

yup... definitely sounds like the british government lol

[LudwigNyman]

Cool job actually. He can spend the night with this awesome telescope, and run around in his undies while working, it's a dream come true.

[Nhatv6]

Where is this place? Can we actually visit it?



[PERSIAIOS]

@Nhatv6 No sir, this is not a museum. If you were to visit this place, they could not focus on what had to be done that night.

[GreenerNautilus]

I learn so many things from your videos. Thank you for all your efforts for recording and uploading them.

[MegiddoVidoq]

Awesome!!!

Dream job right there! :p

[JDKGbmx]

im like a waffle

[mightyboy1994]

Sorry for this noob question, but why does the observatories have to open up so slowly? Any specific reason?

[Vikramthewhite]

Thank you SO MUCH for the videos good sir. Was looking for such videos :). Science FTW !!!

[bebe1001]

very nice

[killeroftheshadows96]

this "small" 100 inch makes my 8 inch telescope sad :(

i want a 100M telescope!!!!!!!!!

[denispkpk]

Can't wait for M31 ! Any chance you know when is it coming?

[murphyld66]

Thanks Brady for another absolutely awesome video. It's really interesting to learn about the behind the scenes activities that go on.

[cutiepie316289]

when is the next Messier video? I loved this one, just curious :)

[kennitala]

Cool, feels almost like fulfilling a childhood dream.

[wowmir]

amazing, please post more videos. People always wonder how real astronomy is done.

[Ralucaru]

OMG this was amazing! Our little telescope in Givataaim Observatory is making more noise than this.

[noswonky]

It's great to see the hand-on details of an observing session - even if it is just a tiny 100 inch scope.

[DeepSkyVideos]

@noswonky plenty more to come

[ThoughtfulGeek]

@DeepSkyVideos Thank you so much for sharing this. Absolutely fascinating stuff, I've always wondered what happens during their observing sessions. I have more questions though - I wonder if stars on his master flat will induce noise/star prints and also why/if they use a diffuser when taking sky flats. Thanks for posting this, it's incredibly interesting stuff!

[chan625]

'Any astronomers watching, I apologies for that description' <<<< LOL

[kjkoolio]

I do indeed love all of these videos. Got to say I am jealous I didn't begin these first! If you need to outsource editting or such, let me know.

[culwin]

If I looked in the other end of the telescope, could I see atoms?

[trespire]

@culwin Sound like something Duck Rodgers in the 24 & half century would do to Marvin the Martian.

[jamieball]

Great video, thanks for sharing. I had no idea the bigger observatories had to take flat frames. I was under the impression that was just something part of the amateur world imaging the sky with DSLRs!! :)

[Nyphur]

Rafael's jumper is epic!

[DimsimMaster]

Noob question. Wouldn't the sensor be blocking the light coming in since its right smack in the middle of the mirror?

[noswonky]

@DimsimMaster Yes, it blocks some light. But there's still plenty of light that does get through. It doesn't cause a black spot in the middle of the image.

[sm0kingJay]

This puts me in the mood to watch that movie with the Jurassic park guy about that Radio telescope in Australia during the Apollo missions... um... "The Dish"...

[DeepSkyVideos]

@NictraSavios I wonder if I block you as a user from DeepSkyVideos it will remove your dislike?

Should I try it? Or should I resist? ;)

Thanks for watching anyway.. Thumbs up our next video and all will be forgiven!

[RBIVscreamtherequiem]

@DeepSkyVideos Actually, that was my dislike. Just kidding, I lied. It was his. Just kidding again. It was mine. Or was it?

[WeaselWJ]

@DeepSkyVideos No, of course it doesn't remove the dislike.

[hautecouturexix]

@NictraSavios I always forget to like videos--but this reminded me to! So I cancel out his suck!

[dezent]

@NictraSavios

Voted down your post, loved it but i couldn't resist :)

[kaskvard]

you could also be the first one to un-dislike.. 

[Freeze01]

You mention it moves sooo quiet during the filming when things move.... but isnt it logical that it is very silent? As noise is vibration and vibration is bad for taking images and alignment of equipment.

Dunno if that is why they made it so... but it sounds reasonable to me :)

[patcs87]

I suspect Atacama desert will be in this channel soon.

Thanks for sharing Brady.

[DeepSkyVideos]

@patcs87 that would certainly be interesting!

[Ciweman]

@DeepSkyVideos I once told you that you sould come to Chile to visit ALMA and the VTL.

[heyandy889]

Niiice. Reminds me of my work in a recording studio. Before you record an instrument, you have to set the level of the microphone. That makes sure that you're not "clipping" the recording: getting a note too loud that just sounds like static.

[LordReserei01]

Loving this channel and these uploads. Even more so on a HDTV. XD

[ModernGameChangers]

Is it too much to ask for longer episodes? haha

[markderosa]

Excellent work.

[somorastik]

How do they move the teleskope, how do they move the dome, what operating system do they use on their computers? Proprietary?

[Sh33un]

7:53. Why? Why is he assuming that? Maybe there is something in the sky and is a part of data, not some detector imperfection.

[kurtilein3]

@Sh33un

They take a bunch of these images, not just one. Also you can change the direction the telescope is pointing inbetween the images. Everything that stays in exactly the same position, down to the pixel, is what you are looking for. All else gets erased when doing the composite image.

[redkb]

I'm really loving this channel!  Keep it up!

[ParaglidingManiac]

Our whole astronomy club is now following you on youtube! Please don't stop!

- Astronomy club of east Lithuania.

[Chiodostwo]

Is there any way to subscribe to a channel multiple times?

[SpartanStig117]

my my you do get around Brady

[IstasPumaNevada]

That's a sharp looking telescope, and I'll reiterate, that really is amazingly quiet.

Greatly enjoying the videos, thank you for the great work.

[teknotoast]

Brady! Awesome vids, really love the new channel... Here's a question... What this the object that is furthest away from the Earth, that we have had a clear picture of? I figure it' probably something from the deep space telescope...

[ronnystoehr]

I had to endure 5 seconds of a commercial for "Jungle Camp" on RTL (destroyed a couple of brain cells) before the remaining cells could enjoy your video... ;)

[SpartanStig117]

@ronnystoehr i didnt cos i use adblock

[jeebersjumpincryst]

@ronnystoehr only comments like yrs remind me there are ads on yt. adblock plus my friend. i would have tossed in yt a long time ago if had to watch ads

[ronnystoehr]

@jeebersjumpincryst Thanks for the suggestion. Most of the time I'm able to skip them after 5 sec. If this should change, I'll look into addblock.

[TheHeyderefatty]

Thanks for the birthday present brady!

[xlikwidx]

This channel is the best thing to happen to youtube! I'm learning so much with these videos. Makes me want to go out and buy a telescope to try to find stuff on my own.

[electrodacus]

Great video.

The telescope moving mechanism is quiet as any efficient mechanism should be if is noisy is not efficient. 

[Xoder83]

@electrodacus In addition, the noise would indicate excess vibration which could blur images or throw things out of alignment.

[PinkyPurply]

Really liking this new channel Brady :)

[DeepSkyVideos]

@PinkyPurply me too! tell your mates! ;)

[ethoxyethaan]

Rafael is using a gnome desktop manager on linux or some unix variant, I wonder what those science guys use as operating system.

[Xayionify]

THANKS for the vids from all your channels



[DeepSkyVideos]

@Xayionify you're welcome... always nice to hear from people who know about all the other channels! :)

[FlyKingRy]

Man , this is great.

[cosmosboy3000]

If you ever want to know more about how they moved the INT to La Palma, speak to Neil Parker from "Green Witch", who was part of the team that did it.

[Films4You]

Yes, an excellent look around the Isaac Newton Telescope, Thank You :)

[P55CxE9]

@DeepSkyVideos Hi Brady, are you going to make more videos about amateur astronomy?, I really enjoyed seeing that you didn't need the worlds largest telescope to do something useful :), although the people you've features so far have had quite nice telescopes.

[DeepSkyVideos]

@P55CxE9 I'm sure you'll see a bit of everything over the next 12 months, including the smaller telescopes!

But you'll also see plenty more of the BIG ones too!

[TheDingiso]

Thank You so much, Brady! It reminds me a bit of another video your made about the telescope that can monitor multiple objects at a time

[DeepSkyVideos]

@TheDingiso yes, that was on BackstageScience - that was a pretty cool device. It is called KMOS.

[bemanos12345]

very nice

[Tilaron]

100 inches? I need a towel.

[unluckylion]

Awesome video = ) It must be cool to work above the clouds!

[DeepSkyVideos]

@unluckylion it makes life easier I think... one less thing to worry about.

[ExtraCarnex]

Have a good Australia day Brady.

[ashwinnarayanVlog]

Wow. I really wish I could visit that place one day. Can normal people go up there to visit the telescope or is it for astronomers only?

[DeepSkyVideos]

@ashwinnarayanVlog "normal" people go up there a lot during the day... coachlaods of tourists... Actually going into the facilities is not so easy, unless they are specially arranged open days I think?

But I'd really recommend it regardless... You can do some great walks and the observatory is right next to a national park which is gorgeous.

[IRisingFuryI]

@ashwinnarayanVlog You know, us astronomers are normal people too :D

[MrSuperZangief]

Nice, seems so incredible. You seem to have a wonderful job.

[DeepSkyVideos]

@MrSuperZangief it's good... I didn't sleep much for the whole week at La Palma - but it was worth it and we'll have loads of great films to share! :)

[Crunch0r]

I am Jealous of your job Brady!

[SmartestViking]

He's using a unix-like operating system with the gnome desktop manager. Probably Gnu/Linux.

[HWGuyEG]

@SmartestViking

Linux makes for great high-reliability media systems, from professional 3D, to sound, to telescopes. :)

[hla27b]

Excellent journalism Brady!

[DeepSkyVideos]

@hla27b thank you

[igext]

What about the timelapse ?

[TheDingiso]

@igext watch?v=PoaEamKLCq8&feature=re­lmfu

[ndgreenaway]

im learning more on youtube now than i ever did at school..i dont know if thats good or bad...

[glooozo]

awesome, very interesting stuff!

[paulosham1]

Great to find out about stuff like flats, I never would have thought that something like that would have to be done so often.

[enisylo]

So a sky test is like a 'white' test that you used to do with old cameras?

[therealitybeforeyou]

You have an awesome job! I am jelly...

[Manqed]

Looks very peaceful up there. Love the vids keep up the great work!

[jancheck]

Thank you so much for making these videos!

[DeepSkyVideos]

@jancheck that's okay... I enjoy it, in case you didn't notice! :)

[IcEye89]

It's really weird to see such a huge structure move without any sound

[DeepSkyVideos]

@IcEye89 it is indeed - they are all like that! You'll see inside more telescopes soon!

[HollanderSSF]

:D thanks

[MrD3STR03R]

Awesome :DDD
