This is super inspiring, Bray. Being able to discover new things like this is something I want to do someday. Thanks man. Congratulations on the discovery!

Hey Bray, your discovery and others' discoveries is why I got into astrophotography other than the fact that I have a disorder with my optical nerves that could leave me blind one day. So I want to image the unknown and find things that have not been found before with the hopes of leaving my mark on in the world. I think it our natural human desire to discover new things that keeps us going. I actually purchased a very narrow OIII and SII filters just to hunt for objects with my RASA 8 so funny you mentioned that those have almost no catalogs. Keep on hunting and I will too! Clear Skies!

Congrats! Would LOVE a vid discussing what, if any, role continuum subtraction played in making this discovery, how it works, and whether we need to employ it when we are searching for new objects.

Wow! Congratulations - this is so inspiring. I hope that this will feature in the astronomy magazines in the coming months. Well done - sometimes we have to follow our hunches...

It amazes me that the average person (with some dedication and money) can now start discovering their own faint objects. As you have probably heard many times, congratulations on the discovery!

When I first watched that short I was so excited for some reason I love space so much and I even had to google it to check if it was misinformation and your name is there that's literally so cool

Hello bray I am going to buy a takahashi fsq 106 . But before buying can you tell my this. Telescope cost too much as compared to other telescope and is it worth the money?

@stevenharper6394 Жыл бұрын

Amazing, congratulations! This also kind of made me a bit sad in the sense that you're right, we do all image the same things. Until I get so good that I can't really improve, that's when I think trying to discover objects will be a focal point for me.

@Dianaquesgmua Жыл бұрын

But how would they know if its a NEW discovery, did they memorize every nebulae ever discovered??

@mediocrefunkybeat Жыл бұрын

There are multiple catalogues of objects, all of which (except ones being currently compiled) are available to everybody.

Really imprssive. I'm just a 13 years old Italian boy, with a bad telescope and a very polluted sky. You really motivated me to maybe one day find out something; and for that I want to say thank you. Only thing is that I did not understand in case of a possible discovery who to consult.

The country with some of the greatest astronomers and findings the world has ever known. Get away from the cities to the seas, lakes and mountains and I am sure you will find wonderful things of your own. Wishing you all the very best!

You are very lucky that you can see beautiful stars every night but where I live I can only see a few like 5 or 6 stars/planets Correct me because I don’t know very much about space
