Did you used the supplied eyepieces for this viewings??
I just bought the firstscope yesterday and I got to see the moon, supposedly the astronomer said Jupiter was also going to be visible but I never found it, well it was my first time using a telescope.
Is it worth getting different eyepieces for this telescope? Or should I just play around and get to know the sky then buy a better one??
I think I have seen that before, I mean mars. It was in july just like in your video. I also have a cheapy telescope and I would like to try and see Venus and Mars. Even if they look like little colored specs.
@melenmike I've matched the moon in the sky with the moon phase calender and the moon does not match the calendar!!!! Since when is a quarter moon on the top or the bottom of the moon when it should be on the right or left quarter depending on the day of the month. I am in America
@TimeOfYah You didn't respond to my statement about the phases I see here in America. My perspective of what I see is obviously different from what you see in Holland. I can make a video of what I see as well. I'll check out Stellarium though. Thanks
1) so called venus is horrisontal to so called Mars on the map and not lower but why I say so called because saturn is the other side of the sky on the map. Can any one let me know why they are not possitiond like he claimes to be in this video and why this venus seems to be the brightest star in the sky when sirius has always been the brightest in the sky. Does he know whats hes talking about or do w just taking his word for it
@lordybrett This was about 9 months ago. Sirius is the brightest "star", Venus is brighter than Sirius. Check out your google sky app come summer time. Although the alignments still will probably not be similar . but dont quote me on that
Umm, was that glowing thing the sun? because it looked like it was in the middle of the city for most of the video. Also, that's a pretty good telescope, around here the prices seem higher for personal telescopes.
@Zuifan I saw that big bright thing in the middle of the city towards the end of the video it gets bigger. The moon is that tiny thing way up in the sky. Nobody noticed that the close up of the moon that the crescent was at the top instead of on the left of right side.
From my house, just after sunset, you could also see Mercury... A little bit later in the year (August) - not quite as close as the other 4 objects (Moon, Venus, Mars, Saturn)... But still, to see 5 solar system objects within a few degrees of eachother was quite cool IMO.
I saw this earlier this year, well, Mars, Saturn and Venus. I love seeing planets together like it. I cant see Jupiters moons with the naked eye any more, but hey, thats life.
THE IDEA OF A GOD IS THE MOST HIGHLY ILLOGICAL CONCEPT EVER DEVISED BY MAN - THE IDEA OF AN INVISIBLE SUPREME BEING HAS AS MUCH CREDIBILITY AS A INVISIBLE FLYING PIG!!!

Nice video & great camera/telescope. You might know what that big star is now that comes out before the moon & moves forward when the moon shows up it gets bigger has it gets closer and moves over the sky with the moon. That cant still be Venus could it? I filmed it the other night it seemed to have its own clouds around it, our sky for the odd occasion was free of smog chems so this was easy to see any ideas what it is Thank You
@UkTruthSeeker2009 Yes my video could have been Venus Yet some think its Nibiru that I filmed I dont know about it being Nibiru LOL id rather it was a very unusual looking Venus. hehe
@jtyoung18 Be careful when pointing out 'golden ratios' for it is not a question of IF you bump into a mathematician or a physicist on channels like this, its a matter of WHEN and they might just tell you that ALL of nature....is limited to using the laws of the universe. Its no surprise to find that nature does so. If you can point to a phenomena that breaches the known laws of the universe then that WOULD be something.
Anyway welcome to that very day, now, what is you point about Fibonacci?
@alasdairduncan I think he was referring to the idea of fractalisation, or pi... basically irrational numbers.
ie. X+Y is to X as X is to Y (can't do math on YT sorry)
Creationists jumped on it as some strange sort of proof there is a god. What they really mean is that things too complicated for them personally, mean that simple explanations make more sense.
I don't doubt that, since their education does not include geometry, math or algebra or mostly anything beyond mental arithmetic.
@MumblingMickey Cheers for that. I'm adyed in the wool atheist. I only woke up to creationists lately. I would've laughed them out of my company, and often did, age 8! I told my teacher, Mr Fox I was an animal, we all were. Now, nearly half a century on I see twenty year olds talking about god, on a technological miracle. It's like Santa to me. You find out, as a part of growing up, that the presents were left by your parents all along. So with god and all things attributed to him.
@alasdairduncan Lol... I had the same conversation with my mother in laws friend... she insisted she wasn't an animal... I retorted that there are three levels there... Animal, Vegetable or Mineral... and she can take her pick...
Sarcasm... when faced with a total Muppet and all else fails you can always lower yourself to the level of sarcasm! She didn't like it... ohh well!
@jtyoung18 God (something that created our existence) might exist, but looking at the stars, it means YOUR god does not exist "well unless your buddist"....so this mean, no matter what you failed XD. It's like how we make games, the programmers are the gods of their games. We create the games, we see it as entertainment and for all we know, we might ending up being the gods on new universes and we, in return, are programed from different beings. It's a possibility, but more likely than your god.
@TheFishoutawater I knew that since the longest time (about 11 years ago) >.>
though I thought we would die through over consumption of resources and h20 adding with other elements to make solids, which in return will never turn back into a liquid so that means the liquid of life (water) will eventually disappear from this planet and we need to start making machines to travel the universe while having enough resources to get to our next planet. We still have salt water to purify.
@fatbinos an astrophysicist friend of mine and I got pissed one night in our rented villa outside Barcelona... we were totally rubber to be fair... I pointed out that the star that was the brightest was the ISS... he disagreed... it almost went to a drunken brawl in the villa...
At which point his wife pointed out it was moving and had a red and green light...
Which just goes to show you how classical physics and math don't always agree!
So glad I caught these videos. I bought one of those First Scopes and have been able to get good views of all three planets. I tried again tonight, but its a bit cloudy/hazy and my viewing was not that great. But to able to see Saturn and its rings was just so cool. The views of the moon are really nice...I've been just loving how the craters on its surface just jump out at you when viewed through a telescope.
In the summer, Venus gets close to the earth in it's rotation. It looks like a bright star. So much so that you can see it in the morning. The ancients named it Lucifer, the morning star. The star strong enough to be seen durning the day, after the sun makes all other star impossilbe to see. The rebel star , bright enough to go against the light of the sun. (God)
What a great video. I saw SATURN! Gotta get me one of those, though I guess its way more cool if you know your way around the night sky. Wonder how much studying it would take to get familiar with our "neighborhood", orbits and such ;)
Wow, seeing this video really makes me appreciate living in Wyoming. I can drive for twenty minutes, and be in a field dark enough to see Andromeda, and the Hercules globular cluster naked eye.
To top it off, almost every day for the past two weeks the nights have been completely calm, and cloudless. Warm enough to stargaze at 3 in the morning in shorts, and a t shirt. I was out with my 8" newtonian last night, and had a symphony of coyote calls to keep me company.
I mourn the loss of project Constellation. We'd have learnt a lot just by looking at the various probe and spacecraft elements that have been sitting up there for the last 40 years. Indeed, how does space weathering affect hardware? Could we simply swap out the batteries in the Lunar rovers and power them up again? I guess we won't learn that in our lifetime thanks to Obama...
dear Thunderf00t, this is the reason I subscribe, sense, logic and purpose. Thank you, today is my child turns 8 and wondered what I should get the kiddo. Now I know, He's getting a telescope. Tonight I'll make a point to take my 8 year old out and show him the planets. Man I am very grateful for your activity and inspiring videos on youtube, TheSaintsRevenge humbly sends his gratitude and thanks.
@eperce allow me to reinforce that notion, my mum got me several books on dinosaurs when i was young, i still have them and i still say this was the spark that got me on the course to be a scientist. that and jurassic park.
All religion is a poison; the real threat is when the law is subverted such that it protects their idiocy and implements it as a matter of policy. Islam is a profoundly evil religion, not that Christians and Jews (and the rest) are any better; but when one looks at Saudi Arabia and the shithole mentality of those towelheads, if this represents what Islam has to offer, my position is to nuke them all and be done with it - the planet is overcrowded as it is.
Sorry for being a novice - But why does Venus ( and the other planets as well ) " light " up ? They dont project light like the sun....so what the heck?
I would like to know is that since i can view saturns rings using my 17mm lense on my d=90: F=800mm telescope . how come i can't get a good veiw of venus at sunset or even jupiter at 1am???
To eliminate any wobble, try using a tripod and a remote control. Just be careful about pointing lasers in the sky. In Colorado Springs, they didn't seem to like that very much.
Dude, I can honestly say I love you. I am sorta ashamed of myself for not looking up this video earlier, I could have seen some very awesome stuff in the sky if I had watched this.. :| But honestly, this is golden! TF ftw!
@Ciwan2 - the better telescopes are the ones with a better aperture (i.e. wider lens). These gather more light and can see further objects. therefore magnification doesnt mean how far you can see, but how big they appear. at 100 quid the aperture wont be great, but you could still probably see the moon and near planets well.
@Ciwan2 depends what you define as decent. there are probably some telescopes for 200-300 quid which would be quite suitable for viewing planets and some of the nearer nebulas. at 100 quid, the telescopes would probably only be good for viewing planets. Proper sky viewing telescopes can be as much as a couple thousand quid, because the lenses are so hard to make well. dont fall into the trap of buying a telescope because it claims to have 1000x magnification, its a wider aperture which is better
@Ciwan2 As for pointing in the right direction, most telescopes have another 'sighter' on top which has a wider field of view, i.e. you see more of the sky. also, software like stellarium, which is free, gives you a 3d view of the sky and tell you what you are looking at if you input your latitude and longitude. combine the two and you will find it relatively easy to find stars, nebulas and especially planets.
@Ciwan2 get your telescope and play with it. point it in the direction of the planets and use the view finder to find the exact spot. it won't take long and when you find the rings of saturn or jupiter's moons, you'll get this strange feeling of seeing something that is literally out of this world. enjoy
WHY do people insist on seperating "normal" muslims from fundamentalists?
The basis of their conviction is identical, only their actions are different.
A couple of months ago a police officer kidnapped and murdered his teenage girl neighbour, this of course doesn't mean all police officers are murderers. But, naturally, the rest of the police force was appalled because the criminal was _one of them_.
Is it short-sighted of me to think you can't just disconnect the two things?
I hope you caught them with your much bigger, expensive telescope too, after how clearly you could see the Moon and Saturn with the cheap telescope, I can only imagine how detailed the big telescope's image would be.
I saw them yesterday! even when i live in the city..
it's ovewhelming to observe such magnificent events... last sunday, a total eclipse was visible from my country (Chile) and now this week the moon has been amazingly big and beautiful...and now this ..
regards, and thanks for making us aware of the thing that happen in our universe
I work at night, and all week during my commute, I've been making sure to look for the planets. Thanks for the info, TF. I hope someone names a Sauropod dinosaur *Brontopodus* one of these days (literally means "Thunder foot.")
@ivannattor / When it comes to observing planets. You are lucky. You live in Mexico. I am not so lucky. I live in middle England. We get 24 hour grey clouds.
I've gotten out my 5 inch scope twice in two nights in Austin, Texas and showed my friends who usually don't even read some of the wonders of our solar system. Very very fun.
@DonExodus2 that was lolworthy but im massively surprised kenkhovind and such wernt on that list (ken ham is NOT going on that list he has a degree in science (thesame degree I am in my third year of, environmental science) at least so it proveshe HAS a brain somewhat.
oh wait, hes the dullest, or would that be venomfangx?
@k0d14k1 Yes, to people that cannot grasp subtlety and nuance and have little capacity for intelligent thought, I imagine it would be quite tedious. Mow, go find some funny animal vids to keep you entertained while the grown-ups talk.
@rdecredico hey look in a mirror, i'll tell you what you'll find. a no-name loser who thinks he can tell people what to do. rdecredico is his name - a name by no other!
that's the fun of the internet. oh how fun it is to see you mad. lol
@k0d14k1 Wow. That's some good, deep-cutting stuff. You really put me in my place. But, help me with this one point of confusion: I am a no name or is my name rdecredico? Seems like you are unable to make up your mind. Ask your mom to recheck the presciption labels and make sure your dosages are correct when she inserts your suppositories tomorrow morning. It's ok that you have nothing redeeming or of value to say or contribute, the world needs ditch diggers, too. Good luck~!
Thank you, unfortunately I live near a Native American casino and there is much light pollution in the area. I live near palomar, but small active children don't mix.
I wanna say thanks Thunderf00t for giving this heads up. I didn't know about it til I saw your video yesterday. I had fun showing my wife and kids our beautiful solar system last night!
Did T-f00t say Earthshine? 0:29 Youtube "Rush Live In Rio-Earthshine" On certain nights When the angles are right And the moon is a slender crescent It's circle shows In a ghostly glow Of earthly luminescence Earthshine A beacon in the night I can raise my eyes to Earthshine Earthshine A jewel out of reach Form a dream to rise to Earthshine
I wish i could afford a telescope, they seem expensive. Maybe im looking at the wrong sort of thing.. i just want to look at the stars afew nights a week, could anyone point me in the right direction as to what i should be looking for?
Hi Thunderfoot, I LOVED this video. I used to have a Celestron 8" Schmidt Cassegrain and I had some awesome lenses along with a 2X's barlow. I could see each ring on Saturn clear as day and Mars was breathtakingly red. One of the best things I ever saw was while on a trip to Ottawa in winter I got to see the Andromeda Galaxy and it was so crystal clear I felt like I could reach out and touch it. It was by FAR my best sight. I can't believe a $35 scope got you that clarity.
I thought those green lazer pointers were illegal, at least if you're pointing them up to the skies. It can blind pilots. Or is it just illigal within a certain distance to an airport?
@DragonSingularity I think you're fine unless (1) you're aiming at a plane on purpose, or (2) you're standing right next to an airport & would know that a plane could be close by. You can always check the FBI website to be sure...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yet Evolutionists believe that this elegance, beauty, complexity and intelligence in design did not require an intelligent creator. A child and look unto a painting at birth and know it has a creator. So why can't we do the same to the universe? It doesn't matter if it's organic or not, our basic common sense has gotten us so far, only to be demolished by pseudo-scientific evolutionists.
@TruthfulChristian2 Really? A new born knows a painting has a creator? Are you that dense? Even if you do belive that how many new borns have you asked about this?
And no, science has gotton us this far. If it wasnt for science tards like you would still be burning witches because your crops withered.
I wish tards like you would all get together and create an isolated village and we will see, by experiment, how far praying and bible bashing each other will get you.
@Anon12356 at least it looks nice. or is that abu dhabi? anyways the middle east (im glad is SLOWLY getting its act together, with nations like turkey and syria leading the charge against fudementalism, i have NO issues with religion, just not state religion whetre peopleare blind to logic.
well, countries like saudi arabia and iran don't look like their getting their act together. and they have their fundamentalism and extremism completely backed up by the koran which they all supposedly follow.
@Anon12356 you have to admire the arabs for their creativity in engineering, feats which once again rival their achivements in the medieval period. like the palace and fortresscomplex in granada, spain

To top it off, almost every day for the past two weeks the nights have been completely calm, and cloudless. Warm enough to stargaze at 3 in the morning in shorts, and a t shirt. I was out with my 8" newtonian last night, and had a symphony of coyote calls to keep me company.

I mourn the loss of project Constellation. We'd have learnt a lot just by looking at the various probe and spacecraft elements that have been sitting up there for the last 40 years. Indeed, how does space weathering affect hardware? Could we simply swap out the batteries in the Lunar rovers and power them up again? I guess we won't learn that in our lifetime thanks to Obama...

Tonight I'll make a point to take my 8 year old out and show him the planets. Man I am very grateful for your activity and inspiring videos on youtube, TheSaintsRevenge humbly sends his gratitude and thanks.

All religion is a poison; the real threat is when the law is subverted such that it protects their idiocy and implements it as a matter of policy. Islam is a profoundly evil religion, not that Christians and Jews (and the rest) are any better; but when one looks at Saudi Arabia and the shithole mentality of those towelheads, if this represents what Islam has to offer, my position is to nuke them all and be done with it - the planet is overcrowded as it is.

To eliminate any wobble, try using a tripod and a remote control. Just be careful about pointing lasers in the sky. In Colorado Springs, they didn't seem to like that very much.

Question: If I bought a £100 telescope ? will I be able to see them amazing, brilliant neighbouring planets of ours ?
I'm worried that I might buy it .. and then not know where to point the telescope !! thus always missing the planets.
Would greatly appreciate some help.
Thank You.
Ciwan2 1 year ago
@Ciwan2 - the better telescopes are the ones with a better aperture (i.e. wider lens). These gather more light and can see further objects. therefore magnification doesnt mean how far you can see, but how big they appear. at 100 quid the aperture wont be great, but you could still probably see the moon and near planets well.
sgeour 1 year ago
@sgeour Thanks sgeour
What price are we talking for a decent telescope ? also what about pointing them in the right direction !
Thanks
Ciwan2 1 year ago
@Ciwan2 depends what you define as decent. there are probably some telescopes for 200-300 quid which would be quite suitable for viewing planets and some of the nearer nebulas. at 100 quid, the telescopes would probably only be good for viewing planets. Proper sky viewing telescopes can be as much as a couple thousand quid, because the lenses are so hard to make well. dont fall into the trap of buying a telescope because it claims to have 1000x magnification, its a wider aperture which is better
sgeour 1 year ago
@Ciwan2 As for pointing in the right direction, most telescopes have another 'sighter' on top which has a wider field of view, i.e. you see more of the sky. also, software like stellarium, which is free, gives you a 3d view of the sky and tell you what you are looking at if you input your latitude and longitude. combine the two and you will find it relatively easy to find stars, nebulas and especially planets.
sgeour 1 year ago
@Ciwan2 get your telescope and play with it. point it in the direction of the planets and use the view finder to find the exact spot. it won't take long and when you find the rings of saturn or jupiter's moons, you'll get this strange feeling of seeing something that is literally out of this world. enjoy

WHY do people insist on seperating "normal" muslims from fundamentalists?
The basis of their conviction is identical, only their actions are different.
A couple of months ago a police officer kidnapped and murdered his teenage girl neighbour, this of course doesn't mean all police officers are murderers. But, naturally, the rest of the police force was appalled because the criminal was _one of them_.
Is it short-sighted of me to think you can't just disconnect the two things?

Hi Thunderfoot, I LOVED this video. I used to have a Celestron 8" Schmidt Cassegrain and I had some awesome lenses along with a 2X's barlow. I could see each ring on Saturn clear as day and Mars was breathtakingly red. One of the best things I ever saw was while on a trip to Ottawa in winter I got to see the Andromeda Galaxy and it was so crystal clear I felt like I could reach out and touch it. It was by FAR my best sight. I can't believe a $35 scope got you that clarity.

Yet Evolutionists believe that this elegance, beauty, complexity and intelligence in design did not require an intelligent creator. A child and look unto a painting at birth and know it has a creator. So why can't we do the same to the universe? It doesn't matter if it's organic or not, our basic common sense has gotten us so far, only to be demolished by pseudo-scientific evolutionists.
