Well hello there. I hope you're all doing
well on this Friday evening, the weekends
here for you guys, so today is August
23rd 2019 at 9:31 p.m. up here in
Northeastern Ohio, and I've been out here
for about an hour taking still photos
with the Canon 80D and the Tamron 18 to
400 millimeter lens and I'm hoping the
pictures came out alright. I was more
focused on trying to get the
Lagoon Nebula (M8), now that's in between Jupiter and Saturn and it's over in the big band
of the Milky Way which I really can't
get in not in my skies and I've I've
tried stacking software and all that and
very long exposures anyway I'll do the
best I can with the processing trying to
get more detail out of the, get more
detail, I have really trouble getting
color out of the nebula and and all that
we should see a lot of pinks and reds
and I don't know if they'll show up but
anyway, but now that we're out here with the
Nikon P1000 camera we've zoomed in to
Jupiter and that's who we're gonna start
with tonight and knowing me I've
probably overlaid some pictures on to
the video or just inserted pictures
first but I do like to overlay onto the
video just to show you my landscape and
even though the big planet's gonna look
trippy it's not true to life, my goodness
but okay so Jupiter is not coming in
very well
I mean I will try stacking but it's
probably not even gonna be worth it but
since we're here we're going to, but
let's have a look at Jupiter's moons while
we're out here, I didn't check to see
where each moon planet was so we'll
probably put the screenshot of the SkySafari Pro app in here so we can know
who we're looking at, okay that's good
for Jupiter, and all its companions over there
okay so as Jupiter was over in the
southwest we're heading over to the
south to see what Saturn's up to
okay there we go we made it over to
Saturn alright got it all in focus well
the best focus we can get with this
equipment and uh we are on the
Sky-Watcher telescope tracking mount so
without it the planet would be zipping
right along and be out of frame by now
but anyway something cool happened when
I was out there taking pictures of the
Lagoon Nebula there was this white
streak of something I couldn't see by
eye but I saw it here on the monitor so
I clicked the the shutter button and
there's this big long white streak in
there not an airplane streak, it was a
solid white line so I'm guessing that it
was probably the ISS or some set and I
would say the ISS, other satellites just
I don't think would come in quite as
well, what was really strange is that I
couldn't see it by eye at all not in the
sky
I could see Jupiter and Saturn no
problem and that's saying something when
I can see Saturn no problem, so, and I
have seen the ISS before and I got
shots of it last year as it was zipping
across the sky and it's a bright very
bright light so again I don't know what
it was and if it wasn't the ISS and I do
believe it came in too bright for a
regular satellite so I don't know
and it wasn't an airplane, just a
different type of trail on a long
exposure shot so I could show a
difference maybe, just so y'all know, okay
that's gonna be it I've rambled on long
enough and we have tons of footage to go
through as usual anyway I hope you have
fun this weekend take care and be safe everybody
Bye from Ohio, it's now 9:49p.m.
Bye for now.
