Alrighty, hello again, I didn't think
we'd be able to get anything tonight
after those clouds and storms moved in
after we got that Sun footage but there
is a bit of a break I'll put some
pictures in here and show the south and
southwest sky, and we have next-door
neighbors tonight of Jupiter and the moon
and I wasn't prepared to even come out
here tonight so I don't have the
tracking mount or anything, I was just
taking some pictures and lo and behold
here they are.
I can't get a grip on using something different here
okay so the moons of Jupiter aren't going to
come in very well but at the moment
we're on the Canon 80D for taking the
video and we have that Tamron lens on here
and I do love the 3x-10x digital zoom that's in the camera there
and
I almost forgot how hard it is to uh do
this with a regular video panhead, it is
so difficult to make micro adjustments
with it and since I don't have the ninja
flame recorder out here so it's just
gonna be in-camera
that's quite cool
that's the the crescent moon at 400mm
millimeters and the 3x is on, and to go
in further
okay so the moon's not gonna
whoa! nice flyby, we'll check, another one,
that's cool
sure wish I could get that in clearer
but our skies are pretty mucky
that's gonna be the best we can get
so we'll just take a real quick look at
it
Oh, I'm so not used to having it move on me,
not anymore
that tracking mount is so nice, we don't
have to keep micro adjusting every few
moments as it, whoa! cool fly by, a whole
bunch of them tonight, all right
so that was the 10x zoom that's in the 80D camera
and just for reference we did
take the still photos with the Canon 90D and the f/2.8 17 to 55mm lens
oh man is that a nice lens, so is the
70 to 200
and I would have put the 70 to 200
on here on the 80D but I wanted this
extra reach
now to try to find Saturn
I'm gonna crank up the ISO here, it only
goes up to 6400, there it is and now take
it down to something reasonable and try
to get it in, there we go, so Saturn's in
the south to the left of the moon
okay so Saturn's here along with our
pack of dogs over cross the way
saying their hellos tonight
oh that's quite cool, and sorry I don't
have the p1000 out here tonight, I wasn't
expecting to get any video but I'm glad
we did because the moon and Jupiter are
so cool, the moon looks pretty huge
tonight, this big halo ring around it and
Jupiter down to the five o'clock. I hope
you all get a chance to see it and it's
funny the halo ring around the moon and
Jupiter isn't a circle tonight it's more
of an oval, egg shape maybe, but it is an 
awesome sight, and I don't know what time it
is so I have to check all that stuff out
when I go in. Oh, battery's almost out
okay well that's gonna do it then, so
y'all take care have a wonderful night
and a great Friday ahead.
bye from Ohio
always running out of battery lately, so many devices, 23
minutes long
