Alrighty, for now we're gonna get that 7% Crescent Moon
heading down for the night in the southwest sky
I thought it'd be up higher but currently I'm wrong so let me go get the other camera
and I'll be right back
well hello there we finally have a sky to see up here
we've been covered in a blanket for days on end even this morning but we had a
clearing here on Monday September 30th 2019 it's now 7:36p.m. and I have two
cameras running but I'm on the controls of the Nikon P1000 at the moment
I need to shut that information off, there we go
so we're on the Nikon P1000 and recording onto the Atomos Ninja Flame
and there are clouds over in that area as we can see but it's so cool to see
the Crescent, finally cool to see anything, but it's 7% lit over in the
southwest as it's going down there
yeah there's a lot of clouds right were that poor moon is
which is one reason why I'm not going in any further, it's kind of cool to see the
whole thing in the frame
so along with the clouds and being so low on the horizon
it's, uh, not the best time to zoom in any further
and I think I'm going to go reposition the other camera, I'll leave this one running
as it is and
turn the other camera to the South. I'll be right back
okay, so here we are with you
okay I've got this one set up, I'll be right back
okay so we have the other camera pointing now towards the south where Jupiter and
Saturn are
yeah, so as you see as we go in any further it's just a very watery and it's not coming
in very well
but the crescents are so cool to see
get the little tail here and
and that should do it
but you know what those clouds are heading towards Jupiter so I think I'm
going to close out on the moon and
change our position so we can get the planets here
All right, what's going on here. What happened to Saturn
Ohhh, my oh my oh my
well I'm havin' issues here because each time I try to get something that damn cloud
bank keeps going over it keeps following me around here
Well I'm gonna have to run back over to Jupiter and try this all over again
my goodness, besides all the issues I was having, the dogs around here are causing a ruckus
yeah I was over here trying to dodge clouds as uh as I tried to zero in on
Jupiter, a cloud came over it so I went over to Saturn but then it beat me
over to it and all kinds of issues so here's our moons of Jupiter and we
should have Callisto, it's gonna be hard to see but it's the one farthest out to
the right and IO is the only one on the left-hand side but we're going to change
up and try to get the bands of Jupiter in
I'll be right back
okay and of course as soon as I did that another cloud bank went over it
so that's why it's morphing in and out there, doggoneit
come on guys, I'm tired of being shut out here
be gone clouds
so I'm just gonna have to wait it out and hope for the best
boy look at those clouds on the Canon 90D
They're really something, but okay
it looks like we have Jupiter in so I'm gonna get a clip while I can, be right back
what is up with those dogs
well it's a shame, I don't think the stacking is gonna come out too well
because of all the clouds but of course we'll give it a go anyway, we'll try
sounds like a kennel of dogs over there
what's it sound like, about five of them, my oh my
all right we're gonna try to head over to Saturn now. I don't think we'll have much
luck I can't see it by eye
and even the Canon 90d can't see it so hmm
we're either gonna have to wait it out or miss out entirely on it
which is really gonna irk me
okay so as we wait for Saturn to battle through we'll just take another peek at
Jupiter and try for yet another clip. I think it's my third or fourth one now
oh my
oh and still no sign of Saturn breaking out, drat
let's see it's now 8:03 p.m. oh wait the Canon 90D is showing a bit of light
over there even though I can't see it
okay let's try
and head over to Saturn. aha, lower right I do believe
I don't have the best alignments so it does get me in the general direction though which is cool
okay so we finally got it I'll be right back
All right, there we go, Saturn finally won the battle
and broke through the clouds
so all we have tonight are the trio which is a lot better than nothing like we have been getting
so I will try to get some pictures here and I'll probably overlay the Canon 90D's
footage over onto the Nikon P1000, the Canon is a wide-angle view
so you can see what I'm seeing by eye and of course on the P1000 it has that
incredible mega zoom lens integrated into the camera, so we can get up close
and personal with it
anyway that should do it
but it's nice to finally say hello again
uh-oh, I lost tracking
I do believe I ran out of battery, ha ha, it's about time, I think I've charged
the battery pack on the Sky-Watcher mount I think twice since last December
I mean that thing just holds up, it's nice, but
okay I finally had to wait out that music
oh my they were blaring it, so I just wanted to say I hope you all have a
wonderful new week ahead and everything's going all right for ya
so our noisy neighborhood is gonna wish you all a great evening ahead and
my goodness
anyway take care it's 8:13 p.m. here
good night now
oh my
all right that should do it, let me shut
both of these off at the same time
been out 46 minutes, my oh my
well actually let's get that airplane going by
that's really funny about that
battery pack I have for the
tracking mount, that it finally after all this time lost power
and that's gonna do it, just it'll be jittery because we're at the 1/8
all right
47 minutes and shut this off
