Eyes on the Sky: Jan 23 thru Jan 29

This week's "Eyes on the Sky" astronomy video focuses on objects that can be seen naked eye or with binoculars in Taurus, as well as Jupiter and some of it's moons through a telescope. Pointers to Venus, Saturn and Mars this week are also covered. See www.eyesonthesky.com for more information and prior videos about finding your way around the night sky from a light polluted area.

I could get used to these depth and orientation examples every week ;)

Another great job!

@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.

@MANNY222 - glad to help Manny, and I hope you will keep watching.  :-)

@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!!

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