all righty, hello there, here we are on
Sunday evening November 3rd 2019 at 6:03 pm
and we might start off with a few
pictures but I'm out here playing again
at the moment I'm on the Canon R,
full-frame camera, and this time I have
the older Tamron 18 to 400 millimeter
lens on here, and I forgot to do
something
there we go I wanted to get situated I
had it on 1080p 60 and I wanted to
change it to 4k, and poor Jupiter's
heading down into that chimney
I was kinda surprised to get it at
all, oh you know what
it's too late for that let's try to head
over to Saturn instead
there we go
now if I'm not mistaken I do believe the
bottom left one should be Saturn
it's so hard to tell when ya can't zoom in
further to make sure you got the Rings
and there we go with the wider view we
can see a few stars, two planets and a 46%
moon, 45 or 46 I'm not sure
and there we go
and that's not another planet over top
the moon, that's the flare and
reflections from the camera
that's a cool look though, we have a bit of earth shine
yeah, so you can see I can move that
'planet' around, so you can tell it's a
camera artifact, anyway let's try to, try
to get the moon in better, okay that's as far
as I can zoom, darn-it
all right there we go I think
I have it in focus
and if I'm not mistaken I do believe the
moon's in Capricorn while Saturn of
course is still in Sagittarius, I think
all last year now this year Saturn's
been over by Sagittarius and now next
year if I'm not mistaken I believe
Jupiter and Saturn will be closer
together in their orbit they won't be as
far apart, now in 2018 they were further
apart than they were this year and if
what I looked at was right on the Sky
Safari Pro app, it looked like they'll be
even closer next year, that'll be cool
anyway there's not much there we can see so
so there we have the Moon and Saturn
in the same shot with our willow tree
let's try to go faster here
there we go, and we can still see
Jupiter heading down for the night
it's n the bottom right over to the right of
that chimney, and we see an airplane
lights blinking right below it, that's
quite cool, all right it's quite nippy
out here it's about 37 degrees or so, nearly
freezing
so we'll check
our settings one more time, okay,
and you shouldn't have the shutter speed
low like I have it but I do it to
brighten up the dark sky, if there's no
movement it's not too bad, but anyway
we're recording this onto the Atomos
Ninja Flame tonight and we should be on
4k now with that Tamron 18 to 400
millimeter lens on the Canon R camera,
as we play around
I wouldn't mind putting the Kenko
teleconverters on here but my fingers
are frozen already so, and I was gonna go
back in and get the other camera, maybe I
still will, we'll see, I wouldn't mind so
much if it was summertime and much
warmer and more pleasant out but
and I know folks love to see how far
that P1000 can zoom in, it is quite cool,
but I have a hard time motivating myself
when it's so cold out to drag more gear
out, we shall see though, now what the heck
I'll let that run and go grab the other
camera, I'll be right back
Alrighty, here we go
finally I think I'm all situated
so we have both cameras running, the Canon's getting the wide-angle view and we have
our Nikon P1000, so it's good to see
Saturn again, my gosh, it's been well over
a week I think since we last, uh, got the
planets and
now this is about the only one I'll be
able to get now for quite a while
Jupiter's already gone it's tucked tail
behind that tree and house and chimney
and everything else and with all the
obstructions in the way I can't get Venus
after the Sun sets because of all the
trees and such, other folks can see it
but I can't from my location,
anyway it's cool to see Saturn again
but of course while we're here I'd like
to get a good look at the moon, it's been
too long
there we are
all right let's go further in to make sure
we have it in focus before we do much
anything else
all right I do believe we have it
alright that's not the best view of the
moon but, it's looks like it's gonna be the
best we can get
so let's take a ride around see what's
up here
and we are at the max zoom this P1000 can do
and
take a jaunt down the right side
see if anything zips b,y ah lets darken that up
first
there we go
it's still a bit bright there but oh
well
and
I don't see anything out of the ordinary
there but you never know until you go in
check your footage
and we are on the tracking mount so
let's try to get it in frame here
there we go
so the other camera's still recording and
we might put a video on top of a video
here, probably put it in the corner
so it's good to try out new equipment and
the ol, even though it's quite nippy out
here so I'm gonna wish you all a great new week ahead, take care and please be safe
Bye from Ohio, it's now 6:45 p.m. up here,
bye now
anyway that will do it, tote all
this equipment in now, oh joy
