It's just awesome finding out about space, my interest in astronomy has grown quite a lot over the years, and I now have a decent telescope.

I love astronomy.

Nice video! I am an artist on YouTube trying to promote my theory on the dynamics of light and time This theory is based on just two postulates 1. The first is that the quantum wave particle function represents the forward passage of time itself 2. The second is that Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle that is formed by the wave function is the same uncertainty we have with any future event

A YOUTUBE video "UFO Disclosure A Global Deception Conspiracy " reveals hidden awaremess of life outside Earth by politicians, astronauts, American presidents, military personnel, along with aired UFO news footage. This compilation contains planned revelations about free energy technology, initiated first contact along with current and ongoing E.T. presence which is being hidden from the public + more.

Thats right though - These images seen here are combined and stacked, some have hundreds of minutes across several imaging sessions - This is not what a telescope will show you with your eyeball, these images are what you will get if you get into astrophotography. You guys below are right, they should make this clear. No wonder so many get frustrated with their first views...

@xXSparky117Xx I wonder if people really think they will look through the eyepiece and see the pillars of creation as they are in the Hubble shots:-p My first view through a 16 inch Dob was hardly disappointing but I wasnt expecting to see a color HD image lol. Took me over 12 years but I'm pretty happy with what I can capture with my modest backyard observatory. I guess I have about 7k invested but need 20k - Taking donations for new scope and mount:-p

Check out my videos..It's what stars really look like...

They really need to make it clear they won't look like this through the eyepiece. These are processed/stacked photos from Hubble and professional observatories. However, if you find M42, you will see it in all of its glory with a good scope.

Bastards show Hubble images and talk about backyard observations - and what you see in the EP is usualy a blurry spot in the darkness of the sky.

My girlfriend gave me a cheap telescope last year and after playing around with it a few times, I've been bitten by the bug again. Plan to buy a kit and get started building a big one. I live way out in the boonies so light conditions just a few miles out of town will be quite good. Might even buy a trailer to haul it out there. I'll keep it lo-tec so I can spend on the optics. Any suggestions on where to start?
