"Yeah, try not to think about that too much. It might send you down a spiral of existential dread." Too late for that one, Mr. Scotting. I'm already feeling it. 💀

What about a 0$ solar telescope 🫠

That’s what I need to branch into next…solar observing & photography. Thanks for re-emphasizing why!

Very cool!

Damon I just want to say thank u for inspiring me to get into astronomy I recently purchased a telescope it's the Meade Polaris 114mm eq and today I saw jupiter and one of its moons I'm not sure which one but that was really mind blowing I almost caught the moon but the cloud denied 😂 also nice video 😊

For your next video, you should go over how long your exposure and shutter speed should be depending on what you are trying to shoot during the eclipse. For example, the Dimond ring effect, the corona, etc

Solar observing has been on my mind a lot lately. Very grateful you happen to come out with this video. Would you be willing to do a video on how to set up refractors and reflectors with all the amateur solar options available?

Happy to see you again!! Keep making videos💫

Great video people forget our sun is a star and gets overlooked👍

Thank you for all your knowledge and hard work!!! Great content 👊💪💪

Very professional but also very interesting Great content! Keep up the great work!

Great results from an incredible person.

I’m impressed, well done

I just got a telescope for Christmas. I can’t wait to use it.

im so happy when u post

Amazing, funny enough, I also feel the need to sneeze while I stare at bright lights, the sun specifically,.

I just used the 1k telescope at school in astronomy class and it was amazing to see the sun

Got a dwarf solar filter for Christmas still waiting for the sun to peek out from behind those clouds ☁️

I can't keep from thinking about like a random bug or locust flying about wial your observing the sun then by chance crashing into the solar filter cause its bright or something breaking it and instantly frying your retina.

Love your videos Damon! ♥♥♥

What camera did you connect to the Coronado?

Technically and actually you can see what the dwarf and seestar sees with far cheaper telescopes that cost anywhere from 20€ - 200€. I've viewed the sun trough a F300M70 Beginner telescope with a Bresser Solar filter (loose fit secured trough wieder lens cap) that only costed 40€. Your phone does a very decent job as an astrophotography camera anyway.

Star gazing

I only have a white light telescope for the Sun and I generally use Baader Solar film in front of my 25 mm Pocket Borg refractor.I'd love a proper HA telescope but they are so expensive.I think that the phone picture is focused but you have some haze up there.

WOO :D

Keep looking at eternity ❤

yes

What would you recommend for a budget between 5- 10 thousand dollars? After a certain point in price do all telescopes pretty much work the same?

@10:12 I agree 😂

What camera did you use on the PST full disk???? And how

Crystal clear blue skies.. 😂

What did you use to photograph the sun while using the Coronado?

You are comparing completely different wavelengths. I would clearly distinguish between H-alpha and white light. These are indeed very different things to consider. And when it comes to H-alpha, please go further and include something with higher resolution, like a 150mm with Daystar or a larger Lunt or a PST modification or Lunt modification. Clear skies Felix

How effective is an H-Alpha filter if added to an amateur telescope? I think these are a few hundred dollars.

Is a 76x700mm telescope good? Im kinda new to dis

Day 2 of asking to show ur best telescopes

i just got a dwarf 2 for christmas

I say the seestar shows the sun best from a smary telescope pov

At 8:27 see at right side up u can see solar flare 🎉

You can get very similar results to the $500 one for less than £150

I think you're worth more than the telescopes

Ungay button 👇

Question here : Cant Nasa or other space agencies build similar Hydrogen alpha filter or sun filters on a bigger scale in order to observe the exo stars and systems

It makes mo sens to be able to zoom in so c’ose if the sun was really millions km away

Is it possible to use a solar Filter with Binoculars?

You got a smartphone with a filter for 10$? That’s cheap!

My budget is 35 dollars

"noor.5"

Welp guess I gotta go buy a 1000 dollar solar telescope.

i got one cheaper... go get a Mylar solar blanket.. or emergency blanket.. pull off your due shield. stretch the layers tight as you replace the due shield back on.. and trim the bits from around the outside.. you now have a 3$ solar filter that is adjustable with more or less layers.. i would not go less than 2 for visual viewing. it works as good if not better than most low end solar filters..

Dont call people dumb dumbs! Some people actually dont know. Im sure you dont know everything.

Love your videos. I've been watching for the last few weeks. But please please please drop the American speak and quote in UK pounds. It comes across as you are just speaking to your American audience and not the UK .

i need a job,do you hire? 😄

Bro say son

With a scope you can observe the sun twice: once with each eye.😅 P.S.For the slow brain back benchers who miss the joke, you probably won't deserve a Darwin award by looking at the sun, but still a really bad idea, so just don't do it.

How can an internally fired planet the size of the sun dvelop cold spots if the heat is migrating from the interior to the exterior? This makes me think that the sun's atmosphere is really what is glowing hot and the sunspots are just holes in the fiery 'clouds' od the sun and are showing the slightly cooler surface. I think it's premature to judge the Sun as internally fired because it requires too many compromises and make believe interior aspects to be plausible. It's akin to having to make up dark matter and dark energy just to maintain broken theories of reality.
