Nice video man..usually people in the northern hemisphere do not care to learn how to orient the southern hemisphere. greetings from Brasil

Hey man I just wanna say thank you, this kinda information is so hard to find. there are a few videos on ursa major but to my knowledge there are zero on cassiopeia, summer triangle, orion etc… they are valuable survival skills that are often overlooked plus its a very satisfying feeling being able to look up at the sky and say hey! theres cassiopeia! and canis major! and orion!. Before I had no idea about any constellations, now whenever I go camping I always assign a portion of the night to just gaze… the vocal minority that say they dont care about stars are just armchair survivalists that never go outside. how can you not find these videos valuable? navigation tools AND a crash course in constellations… sweet job alfie. Out of curiousity… can you find directions with the moon? that’s one big sky object ive yet to see any content on it seems to have slipped the radar. Thanks and “Peace” ;)

So many people in the northern hemisphere think the Southern Cross marks the south pole,when it is actually 27+ degrees away to its most southerly star. I live at 27 degrees north, and with a clear southern horizon, during the period that the Crux in in our nighttime sky. We can see the 3 northerly stars, but while technically above the horizon for about 90 minuter, the south star on on the horizon and very hard to see.

Ive never had anyone explain something so quickly or perfectly. Subscribed!

Here in brazil we are taught at school about the southern cross, which we call "Cruzeiro do Sul", and we in scounting camp back in the day i learned about the orion's belt, or "As Três Marias" ("The Three Maries"). Really cool video, greetings from BROzil lol

You make it so simple. Love your wicked humour. Next time I am in the bush I will find those bright little pointers and test out how accurate I can get a south bearing. Thanks for sharing.

Southern Cross with Alpha centaury a big yellow star so beautiful.

Awesome video, well spoken! Greetings from the Northern Hemisphere

I love the sounds of the Birds and the running H20 in the background, amongst the intense music! It's so Beautiful and Tranquil at the same time! If you don't hear it, just wait! You will be able to Hear it more when he pauses!

I live in New South Wales of Australia, so thanx for that😊

GREAT video, cheers moite !

Best vid i've seen on this bar none. Every hunter and hiker needs to know this. I'm sure alot of people think that the Southern Cross is actually South in the sky....big no no to that Well done

Love it! Do more southerner hemispheres stuff please!

I like the alternative of adding the same distance 4 times outwards to find south... it's actually similar to adding the same distance 4 times to the outer two stars of ursa major to find north. I never realised it's actually the same trick!

Recently discovered your channel - very informative and funny, just subscribed :) Greetings from Brazil!

awesome video. best explanation i've seen yet.

You are awesome bro! Thanks a lot for this information!

Please make more Camp Aesthetics---that would be lovely.

Once you see it you won't forget. The Crux Bush Astronomy Down Under Tasmania has the best view.

great job

That was a good video. Nice and clear and taught properly would be cool to go n check that out however im on the other side of the planet. I know how to find the north star and orion but after that im scratchin my head. Cheerz

Excellent video. I was explaining this to someone today while watching the rugby sevens tournament and they couldn’t fathom how people south of the equator couldn’t see the North Star. This video provided me the needed backup and their mind was blown 🤯 so much for that flat earth theory.

I've seen the southern cross, when I've crossed the equator and visited Australia

As a kiwi this video got me extra excited. Find the cross was ezpz

This shit should be WAY more popular than it is. about time someone put this shit up on the tubes. about damn time, thank you Alfie.

Your a massive wizard!! Love these videos. Straight up helped clarify alot!

Thanks sir

Thanks. Really grateful as this helped me locate the SCP for taking circular star trail pictures.

Veery nicely done!!! Thank you :)

WOW the cross points the WAY in more ways than ONE 🥰

Rock on.. that's cool. Digging these videos.. Thanks!

I found all I needed to know within the first 10 seconds

Thanks for this..great vid...From a Pacific Islander...

I watch the Cross through my window every night, you should come over and see it in QLD. It looks totally different, so is the culture.

Thanks for this from AUS

Thank you SO much for making this easy beyond belief!!

I don't knew the first method, I always used the second one, 4x the crux lenght=south. Interesting thing is, the southern cross appears rotated downwards in Australia/New Zealand night sky, comparing with the Brazillian perspective ( usually kind of 45° oriented).

Thank you

Thanks bro been waiting for some with the southern hemisphere for us Aussies bro, cheers mate!

Hi alfie thanks a lot, you got me in to survival and bush craft and if it wasnt for you I wouldn't be doing the d of e

Please sir, may I have some more navigation videos?!? You make reading the stars much easier than most other videos

I was going to ask if you had done a video on the moon, on how to find direction, tell the length of the night etc... but I just read a comment and you answered that it wasn't high on your list of to do's but I would be very interested if you get around to it. You have a good manner of teaching. Even if you don't I appreciate what you have already taught me. Thanks again.Good stuff.

Thank you sloop Thank you. So much.

Very well explained thank you.

top vid mate..except the usual silly Aussie stereotype keep up the good wrk -AP

love the start

In Brazil we call it Cruzeiro do Sul Constellation.

Love it bruv

really good! Funny too!

I'm from the southern hemisphere

Sup breh. Please can you make a video on how to find and harvest pine resin

Your the best would like to some more camp vids

Thank you bro.. this helps a lot

Cool

Hello, Alfie Aesthetics. I like all the videos made by you that I have watched so far (I have watched more than fifteen of them) I like specially the series of videos you have dedicated to celestial navigation. Your videos are very well organized, etc. From my point of view, you have shown that you are a professional youtuber. "A crack", in other words. Since you have written that your subscribers can make suggestions about ideas for more videos, my suggestion is the following: + “The Milky Way” as a device for celestial navigation and a means of locating useful constellations. I mean that “The Milky Way” [also known as “The Spilled Breastmilk”] has been used in order to find important constellations (from the Northern Celestial Pole to the Southern Celestial Pole). Imagine that you are lost in the wilderness at night and you can see the night sky showing all its magnificence (even the weakest star lights appear above you). It would be useful to know how to use “The Milky Way” in order to find important constellations [Those constellations can then be used in order to find the direction towards the North and South] For example, > In the Northern Hemisphere * “Cassiopeia” has “The Milky Way” as a background. *Part of the "Summer Triangle" has “The Milky Way” as a background. * As far as I am concerned, pilgrims throughout Europe used “The Milky Way” as a Celestial Navigation device in order to find (follow) the way to Santiago de Compostela (that is situated in the North-western corner of the Iberian Paeninsula). They made such a journey on foot (with a lot of patience…, of course) > On the Equator: * Part of the "Winter Triangle" has “The Milky Way” as a background. > In the Southern Hemisphere * The same happens with “Sagitarius” (The Archer) * “The Scorpion” has “The Milky Way” as a background. * “The Great Ship Argo” almost seems to follow “The Milky Way” as if it were a white river, so to speak. * Last, but not least, “The Southern Cross” and the pointers (which form part of the constellation of “The Centaur”) have “The Milky Way” as a background. [Once upon a time in which the constellation of “The Southern Cross” was considered a leg of the Constellation of “The Centaur”] I hope that this suggestion (A video about “The Milky Way” as a device of Celestial Navigation and as a means of locating useful constellations) [ and the ideas related to it] help you make a good video. That is to say, another good video as the ones you usually make. One of the Sky maps I have consulted has the following reference (or name) in the internet: The Ancient Greek Sky tumblr_mcbaof6Dyw1qbh26io1_1280.png I think that you will agree with me that “The Spilled Breastmilk” is a good topic (and title) for a video in youtube. Ja, ja, ja! :D In my opinion, you have the ability, experience and other qualities that are necessary to make a video of that kind. You have shown that you are able to combine serious data (knowledge) and entertainment in order to make a useful and interesting video. What do you think about that? Changing now the first topic of this message, I would like to ””talk”” about the following idea related to Celestial Navigation [I read the following piece of information in a book that is a sky atlas]: It is possible to use two stars < a and ß > of the Square of the constellation of Pegasus (The Winged Horse) in order to find the star Polaris [ In fact, that line is a continuation of the very same line that is used with “The Great Dipper” (“Ursa Maior) in order to find the star Polaris]. That same line can be prolonged towards the south in order to find the star named “Fomalhaut” in the Southern Hemisphere. Thank you very much for making and uploading so many good videos. I would like you to answer to this message and tell me your opinion about the suggestions that have been written here. I am looking forward to reading (hearing, etc.) your response. You can take your time, of course. Thank you for reading this message (or comment). It is so long that one has to read it step by step. Peace and best wishes.

I am subscribing. very good info.

Great video!

Thank you.

I've watched all your Camping videos. When's the next one?

Oi.... Im from Australia :) , and we actually have 25 million people... and you named the three who are the worst, mind I do know two of them personally :doh: . Anywho, the problem with the Southern Cross is if you walk towards it you end up in Antartica :S ..... bad times, except for the penguins.. they are cute :) .

Oustanding video.

Could you make a video of how to make your own bow and arrow. What type of wood and stuff and one that could actually be useful if at all possible.

Very helpful!

For a split second I thought to myself "WTF, what do you mean with brazilians not familiarized with the crux?" I'm glad you explained the sarcasm right after ;D

You make the best vids and want to be smart like you respond

I’m staring to have vison after my opration now I’m back in action

I'm in the USA, and I wish I could see Crux from my latitude.

I learned something!

Alfie, what software are you using to show the stars?

Awesome...!

A lot of people dont know about the cross in the sky

never mind, I found the name of the software listed in the description of another one of your videos!

Latest Update, the Southern Cross ( Alpha Crucis ) lies Northward as of South at one time..

Is this what Crosby still Nash and young are singing about in southern cross?

where is the crux in relation to the equator and can it be seen from the northern hemisphere

Thanks men

follow your videos since long ... but now i have to say ... i will no longer find the north ;) i think im more interested in the west loool

Homestead, Florida USA see It

I saw this constellation on July 27th 2018

Cool, dude! What software do you use to study constellations? I'm tired of star walk, I want something on my laptop. Subscribed! PS: The cross is mirrored in the brazilian flag, but this is our fault

Bramrishi Vishwamitra created crux 🕉️🙏

Am from papua new guinea. ...

4 star southern Cross

You are utterly alien to this country. You never settled it. You never fought for it.

This is another method to locate Octans Constellation in which the South Celestial Pole is located

More camp videos :D from the German boy

The first constellation that i saw is this. The crux constellation

Would like suggestions for a kit bag #never done growing

Hey Alfie i really like your videos!!!.I have a question:Were did you buy the camo tarp? please i need a tarp and yours is awesome!!!

Comparatively interesting presentation. Could've done without the condescension. Is it a constellation or an asterism? Please explain.

Thanks for painting everyone in Australia in a bad light! What the???

Just had opration

Finding North or FInding South?

wow that's so cool, I gonna try it tonight....wait a minute...I don't live in Australia,,,fuck!

The park bench walk call for mumm

Hahaha when you said “and were gonna view things from the perspective of that of Australia” you sounded almost exactly like Bear grylls!! That sentence sounded exactly like he’d say it. Then you sounded like alfieaesthetics again when you insulted an entire continent within the first 10 seconds of a video hahahaha

The Cross

The park bench walk

No camp aeths this weekend? :(

Im bit wierd. Every time I saw , constelation of star look cross. Im happy. As if Am in catolic chruch. I say a prayer .
