  • Was the host Andromedaswake ?

  • best way is to get a nightvision monocular. you see much more stars using a night vision. i got mine for 110€, it's not too costly :)

  • OH SHI-

    Got Phil Plaited

  • Looks great. Good video

  • Great idea! The Pleiades is a great open cluster to view with binocs, just follow Orion's belt upwards in the night sky.

    Check out Stellarium which is free software to simulate the sky and find objects.

    Upgrading to a sub-$100 telescope from Walmart will open up viewing double-stars (there is a cool blue-orange combo int he northern cross) and the rings of Saturn (which are now almost edge on but will become more visible over the next 7 years).

  • Yes, it is. Everything above the equator is in the northern hemisphere.

  • Will this work in Holland? is Europe part of the northern hemesphere? (spelling?!)

    I would love to follow these series.

  • Damn. The music, his voice, and video was awesome. I don't really want too look at stars through.

  • yup

  • kinda like your annoying comment! :D

  • ZANG! we HAVE a planesphere (goodwill $1.99) AND some binoculars(not sure of the magnification.)I am so excited that you have spelled this out TK!
