Well hello there, we finally have a bit
of a sky to see here, not much but
here we are on Friday evening at 7:35 p.m.
October 18th 2019 in Northeastern Ohio
and I'll probably have some pictures in here
to start off with so we can see our kind
of mucky skies but it's better than that
solid cloud cover we've had
but we're going to start over here with Jupiter
now as you all know it's getting so low in the
horizon it's really hard to get Jupiter
in so we'll do the best we can and
tonight it should have the Great Red
Spot facing us
and I sure hope it comes out, boy the
last one, the last stacking we did, oh man
it was horrible, this one's not doing too
much better I don't think
there's probably a cloud going over it
and by eye I can only see the faint light
of Jupiter I can't find Saturn anymore
and there might be a star up above me
and that's about it, so between late
pollution and clouds and what-have-ya
trees and everything else, and I didn't
have a chance to shoot for Jupiter's
moons so I'm not going to be able to have
that on here, um drat I wish I could see
Saturn but I had to start off with
Jupiter because it's getting so close to
that tree and it's gonna be obscured
here shortly
I was hoping the camera would be able to
cut through the clouds to find Saturn but
no such luck, drat, ah man, my favorite
planet
usually if I can't see it by eye you
know sometimes the camera can pick it up
but no such luck tonight
well I've missed getting out here, and the
nights and mornings are getting very
very cool, down to freezing, about 33 degrees or so but
dog-gone-it
we don't even have many night creatures
out here chirping away, they're smart
they're taking cover, go hibernate
somewhere, winter is coming to Ohio
well anyway, drat, I can't put up a video
with just one planet, dog-gone-it
and poor Jupiter is, any second it's
gonna be dipping into that tree
I was hoping our skies would clear
around here for the meteor showers that
are upcoming, the ones that will be over
by Orion from the debris trail of
Halley's Comet yeah I did say 'Hay-ley's
and not Hal-ley's, whatever, will go with
what I grew up with, but yeah we're
supposed to be going through that debris
trail I believe within the next few days
up until the 20th or 22nd something like
that, I'll have to double-check again but if
you look towards the south or southeast
around I don't know two a.m. and find Orion in the sky, that's an awesome
constellation, you might be able to see
some of the meteors streaking around
I cannot believe Saturn is still
obscured, it's just a bummer
actually I think I do see it, aha
hey we're gonna get a chance to
see her anyway, alright I'm glad we
stayed with it so we get a look here
at Saturn and Saturn's over in the south,
Jupiter is gone now it's gone behind
that really pretty tree over there to
the right in the southwest
and just so we know I can't see Saturn
by eye even though the camera's picking it up
so we're cutting through clouds
and muck and who knows what
boy it's kind of odd to be out here and the
crickets aren't going nuts and all the
other night creatures, it's almost a bit
too quiet for us huh
normally they're chattering up a storm
but like everybody else they're
preparing for winter in Ohio
and I'm not quite ready for it, I'm
normally stocked up with more food but
I'll have to do that soon cuz I sure as hell
don't like to go out and travel in ice
or snow that's for sure, not when you
don't have to
well since my sky is so bad
and the moon won't be up for another
couple hours yet there's really nothing
else to see here except some clouds and
this lone planet
so I hope wherever you are you have better
sky conditions and nicer weather than we
do and everything's going all right in
your world, I hope you have a wonderful
weekend ahead, take care and bye from
Ohio, it's now 7:55 p.m. up here
bye now
