Well hello there. It's a Thursday evening, no it's not, it's Tuesday sorry
September 18th maybe 2018 and it's 7:40 p.m. up here in Northeastern Ohio
and we have a 69% moon up there over in the south, and I don't want to spend a
lot of time on it because over by that tree we're waiting for Jupiter to come
up. Jupiter's been so low on the horizon for
me that probably within a couple days it's gonna dip below the trees and I
won't have a chance to see it again until next year when it begins rising in
the East, maybe around May, something like that. Anyway it's still a little bit too
light out for it so lets go on up and take a look at the the moon here, um, just
to know I have it on the lowest number aperture and lowest shutter which is one
over 60, slowest I mean, and we're in movie manual mode and manual focus, all that
good stuff. I'm not sure what iso I have it at maybe about 200 I guess, 2 to 400
I'm not sure, I forgot to look. Okay this uh, on the recording it doesn't show
what the, how far zoomed in we are millimeter wise, so we'll just take a brief glance
here and inch up a little bit in zoom
bottom edge is just so cool
okay there we go
That should bring it into focus better and I did up the shutter speed to 1 over
160 so it wouldn't be washed out and the aperture automatically goes to f/8 for
when you zoom in this far, but anyway, all right, so I did say I was at max zoom right?
oh yeah that reminds me, um, wonder if I should lighten it again
I forget what I had it on the other night. The monitor tends to make it look
lighter than what it does when we go in so I'm gonna keep this way though for a
moment. I want to check out our Mesa there and our light beam area. It's bright
tonight isn't it
I know what I missed because we're zoomed in further than the p900 goes
is our question mark which is over here, whoops, okay there it is. yeah there's our
question mark. Hey, it looks like one to me, what can I say. Let's go up at the top
real quick. Well she appears to be scooting sideways huh and not rising or
maybe a little bit of both huh. Get to the area here I call the boneyard.
I don't know why, just reminds me of a... like the Giants and their bone
field out there
but anyway while we have the time here - Hello everybody!
Over the last couple days there's been quite a few hundred new people that have
come into my channel, and well first off, we'll say hello. And many of you don't
know me so uh I'm just an old lady up here in Northeastern Ohio who enjoys sky
watching and I am awake and very untrusting of official sources
I do take an alternate view most of the time and have a very conspiratorial...is that
the right word? Mind. Throughout the years I've captured some amazing stuff up
there some unknown things zipping around but to tell you the truth those are rare
occurrences they don't happen every night and all that and I am just an
amateur and teaching myself the cameras and so an amateur photographer amateur
astronomer. Hey I'm just a Sky Watcher what can I say. Aw, come on Jup
where are ya, bud. All righty, I do see Jupiter so we're
gonna take a little trip further away
I wish I would have changed the iso before I started but I'm gonna back us
up here
All right so there's our moon in the south
Okay so over here in the southwest we do have a Jupiter. Well it's not looking too
bad or too great I don't know. At least we can see the bands um, I don't see the
red spot there though. All right so what we're going to do
we'll have to shut it off and uh change the ISO and brighten things up so we can take a look
at the old moons up there. I shall be right back. All righty, there we are
we have it on 3200 so it's very bright
well I don't like how they're coming out because it's so grainy so I'm gonna go
down to a I'm gonna change I'll be right back
Alrighty, I went back and changed it to 1600 because it was so damn grainy.
So is this but anyway I think we have Europa out in the lead tonight and
Callisto is way in the back there bringing up the rear
I like the configuration the other night when it was like the triangle out in front.
That's cool
so
yeah here's hoping we have about a week maybe two weeks I don't know but I might
be stretching it to be able to still get Jupiter after the Sun Goes Down now
where is Saturn. I'm gonna take a few pictures and I'll be right back
Alrighty, sorry for the grainy image but to be able to see Saturn I have to
really crank it up so it's at 3200 now and it's over to the right of the moon
there as we can see a little flicker of light
okay I was hoping to be able to get Titan in here. I don't really see it
though it should be about the seven o'clock position and but let's change it
up so we can get a better view of Saturn itself. So I just changed the shutter
speed to one over 320. All right there's our ringed one. I think that's the best
I'll be able to get it in. It's not too bad but I can never tell for sure until
we go in the house and look on the computer. okay so as Saturn takes its
journey here I'll explain. I did get the remote today. I was real excited about it
well I got it yesterday and it seemed to work fine, not a problem, but then today
when I hooked it up to the tripod and the external monitor it was like what
what the hell what's going on it won't work
bluetooth won't connect. So apparently you can't use the remote with the HDMI
cable plugged in. I'm hoping that's just a software, or what do ya call it, a firmware
issue and it can be fixed I really hope so because it was really cool being able
to zoom in and focus with the remote
but I rely so much on the external monitor because like I told you before
I'm an old lady and have bad eyes so having a 7-inch monitor helps so much
yeah one issue after another and I'm not nitpicking or anything but
just explaining my issues. All right, that's enough of Saturn
we're gonna go off and hunt for one more. I don't see any stars by eye
just so you know because I I live in the city and we have light pollution and all
that good stuff here. Ah there we go, we can get all three of them in the shot so
to the right of the willow tree and to the left of the moon is Mars.
Let's go in and take a gander at him.
okay I'm not gonna be happy with this so until I turn the iso down for Mars
I didn't do it yesterday so I'll be right back. All right, I'm sorry about that.
I'm just having a hard time dialing it in.
anyway we're on iso 200 and 1 over 200 for the shutter. so a look at our orange
buddy, brother, whatever. Thanks everybody for coming
over be nice now and with so many comments that are
on the video I, uh, wow, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to
keep up now. I try to, but, because I like talking to you guys. Anyway, and that should
do it I have a lot of footage to go through so I'm gonna wish you all great
night and wonderful Wednesday if that's what it is tomorrow. All right good night now.
