Well hello there.
We're back again after being covered in
a gray blanket and all that good stuff
up here in Northeastern Ohio, but anyway
today is August 28th 2019. I'm not sure
what day of the week it is maybe
Wednesday. we'll say, we'll take a guess, and it's 9:07 p.m. up here, anyway I've
been out here probably about, oh I don't
know, maybe an hour taking pictures on
the other camera on the Canon 80D, so
knowing me I'll probably put those
pictures in here in the video. I'm
outside right now I'm taking video so
you never know what's gonna happen once I go in check the footage and process
everything and all that good stuff. oh by
the way I I finally caved in and got
Lightroom to process the still photos
and I was having so much trouble with
On1Photo it was always freezing my Mac
constantly and I really like that
program but so I broke down and I did
get Lightroom and I just hate paying a
monthly fee for something, for software,
 it just rankles me
but anyway, so like I said I probably am
throwing in some pictures in here, oh and
by the way before we even go up to
Jupiter and Saturn there are a couple of
comets heading towards the Sun I think
it's called 322P, they're approaching
the Sun now and I think by Friday
they're gonna be doing a slingshot
around the moon and by the looks of the
SkySafari Pro app, I saw 3 tails so
I'm guessing that they're broken up and
heading towards the Sun. I think it said
those Comets take a four year trip
around and, but anyway it looks really
cool on the SkySafari Pro app, so I wanted
to include that in here too
so anyway after the still photos from
the Canon we're now over onto the Nikon
P1000 camera and recording onto the Atomos Ninja Flame
and there we go with the big guy up
there, if I recall correctly
Callisto is out there to the far right
and IO is the one closest to Jupiter
tonight, that is a cool shot, it's coming
in quite well, okay there we go
so we have our clips done for stacking
to try to help bring out the details of
both the moons around Jupiter and
Jupiter itself and if I'm not mistaken I
think we have the Great Red Spot tonight
in the lower left-hand corner. it's
getting harder and harder to get a good
capture of Jupiter right now and if I
said Saturn before excuse me, but that's
a cool look and Jupiter is over in the
southwest and Saturn who we're going to
next is over in the southern sky, so that's
good enough there for the big guy, and
we're gonna have the SkyWatcher Mount
take us over the Saturn
or get us there in the general
direction
so that very faint late that's on the
screen, well I'll probably overlay a
picture on here so we know what we're
looking at but,  okay so there we go
we've got her in. Saturn and it's cool
rings. I have to admit these two planets
are my favorites probably because you
can actually see some details of say the
bands and the Great Red Spot on Jupiter
and these rings around Saturn, so with
the equipment I have you can't really
see much of anything of Venus and Mars
except a blob, an orange blog for Mars,
and Venus we can get in phases like
the crescent moon, but not right now
because they're still in the daytime sky
now I'm not sure how the pictures are
gonna come out after processing in
Lightroom and all that, but I'm gonna try
to do a good job, and if I happen to
overlay a picture of my landscape of the
night sky here and have these two big
planets sitting on top of it, it's not
true to life, it's just a bit of
creativity, but anyway the batteries are
running down here on my Ninja Flame cuz
I forgot to change them and we're gonna
have to call it an early night
so whatever day of the week it is
I'm gonna wish you a great one and a
wonderful new one ahead. So y'all take
care and the three of us are gonna
wave goodbye from Northeastern Ohio. It's now 9:24 pm.
Good night everybody.
