How often do you fly between the UK and Australia to do these videos?

[DeepSkyVideos]

@fullmetalphysicist3 not too often (though I am from Australia, so I go more than the average person would)!

I was in Australia a while back and filmed bits and pieces for various videos!

Brady, I don't know how you manage time to produce videos - whole variety of them, edit them, upload them. and still have time to read the viewers comments and respond to them....

[DeepSkyVideos]

@pvskpraveen reading comments is (sometimes) my favourite bit of the job.

Great image of M78, kudos! About the colors, they're there, and we can capture them from a distance of many light years. But were we to fly though those nebulae, we wouldn't notice with the bare eye that there's anything there. We would just see the background stars, because those nebulae are incredibly thin and low-density and spread over a huge volume of space.

@virumoz interesting thought that - thanks!

Best part of that contraption is the duck tape holding it together.

Do you thank that you will be able to get beyond the picture that you had in your hand. Because I was wondering if the telescope that you had picks up more then what you tuck at that time.

[taleof2cities]

just wondering, how much does a telescope like that cost?

[wiseblood90]

very cool , thanks

Did earth have two moons? You bet Uranus it did! hahaha
