hey we're back, twice in one day. it's now 5:32 p.m. on Sunday November 11th 2018 up
here in Northeastern Ohio and we now have
an 18% Crescent it's about 17.6% lit over in the southwest sky it's up about
22 degrees now above the horizon and it's still a bit light out I can't see
Saturn, it should be over to its 5 o'clock position, there it is
there we go
our ringed one there is heading down for the night and it's not going to be the
best view because like I said in the earlier video we have a lot of water in
the atmosphere, but that is such a cool planet to get
I thought I saw a flash up to its 11 o'clock position but
maybe not, we'll look when we go in
okay so there it is in relation to the crescent moon
it's coming in pretty nice at that zoom level but as we go in we'll see how
watery it gets
this is why I like getting the crescents because you can actually see
some details like the depth of the craters and the
and maybe even some of the skid marks
we are on the Nikon P1000 again
that one area looks like there's a vein popping out in that black patch
I might try to crop zoom so that one crater. we'll see when we go in. sorry I am
on a new tripod I'm trying out the Benro the legs are the Benro 373 carbon
fiber ones and the video head is the Bv8h and it's too hefty of a setup for
this light of a camera system but I
couldn't pass up the deal I've been looking at the legs themselves for quite
a few months now and I think they're running about 600 or $800 that's no way
I was going to pay that for them. I can't afford that
but, um, but both of them together there was a deal over at BH photo for $399
for both of them so I just couldn't pass that up
but, that's good
the Crescent is so cool to see. so we'll let that run for a bit. I don't see Mars um I
also don't see Saturn yet by eye but at least the camera picked it up
but you know what I think that's gonna do it for these two
so I'll try to get some pictures and I'm gonna wave hello and goodbye to y'all.
I hope you're all doing well and have a great start to your new week. bye
from Ohio
