What do you think about Celestron Inspire 100 AZ. Or the other 80AZ and 70AZ of this model? It is recomended for beginners like myself.

Speaking of satellites there was a pub in Billingham,Co Durham (between Hartlepool and Stockton) called the Telstar and another called the Astronaut.Sadly the Telstar has become an animal now,the Lion i think although it probably crossed Leo ,and maybe Leo Minor, many times during its working life.

Any constellation you know in the South of the equator?

you ask for ideas so if you had pictures of some of the things you were talking about john wishart

Is that a 16" SCT?

I have a 76 × 700 telescope 🔭 will I be able to see planets in the night sky , thanks

Excellent and very useful presentation, for me, an enthused novice.

amazing to sea what God made in under 6 days

Japan 🗾 is a lot further south than most of Europe and Canopus just rises at Tokyo 's latitude and further south they have an island called Southern Cross Island where apparently you can see the Southern Cross.

Thank you for a nice podcast 👍 greetings from Poland

More videos with Helena please!

You're either the world's best actress or completely in love with what you do. It's great to see.

You accent is amazing ❤

Man i jus wan look moon

Hey sorry probably completely wrong place to ask this as not eclipse related. Have been to kielder a couple of times now, not gotten lucky with the weather so far but will Keep trying as all the family love the talks you do. We bought a Newtonian and love it. But then I see a lot of digital cameras that attach to the computer apparently offering a lot for the money. Are they worth a go?

See you next year in Swansea Adrian very exciting ❤

obsessed with your accent lol 😅

Great! Thankyou.

hey, great video. i was thinking about picking up a stargazing telescope. but it kinda hit me like -- whats the point? aren't the average dude just gonna look into a stargazer and go "huh, thats cool" and never pick it up again? dont know if my question makes sense, because it seems very pretty and gives me a reason to go outside :)

I’ve seen a spider up there

Hello beautiful, cordial greetings from Aguascalientes Aguascalientes México, I would love to meet you, I really like astronomy and optics, especially telescopes, I would like to have a professional one

This is a great video - thank you! I moved to the country about 6 months ago and just picked this up as a new hobby. It's awesome!

300 mm focal and 70 mm diameter of primary mirror is good or not? I found this where I live and i think about buying it

I saw Antares in Winter at about 0500 last week from the summit of Killhope Law (673m) right on the border of Northumberland and Co Durham.

Thank you

Hi i recomand astroshop from my contry Romania and i like your chanel :>

What has happened to you? You were one of my "go-to's" when I was getting started in this magnificent hobby!

'Promo SM'

Haha "tææelescope" sounds funny when you say it 😅

You’re the absolute best! Love your vids!! Thanks for all the info and advice and can’t wait to see more amazing videos 🫶

Hi Helena … firstly , I’ve followed your channel and really like your videos , but , you described a telescope as an instrument that “magnifies” … it has to be said that a telescope is an instrument that captures light … the magnification comes from the Eyepiece . The dobsonian error I believe was noted by another viewer but it is a good point . Dobsonian related to the base or mount . Named after John Dobson . Sorry I hope you don’t think I’m being pedantic here but the first point raised is really important Keep up the good work

She is a hot burning star 🌟.

Literally "🤓☝️"

Like for the way you say "telescope"

You are beautiful.I have a crush :)

One lesson I learned - astrophotography is expencive. If that your goal, remember unless your rich you going to take a long time to get there. Start with an F10 or close scope So you will enjoy the things a beginner is likley to view with their eyes, and with their friends. You will learn what you like to look at and build skills to look at those objects.

🙄... 😌... 😊... 🙂... 😁... That was absolutely wonderful!

Thank you for the content, nice lil guide :)

If you really wanna go cheap because unsure of if you even want to get into this hobby, its perfectly fine to go for some big brand's 70mm, 700mm focal length refractor (like Sky-Watcher 707). Why? This format of a tube itself is everything a complete novice need: actually capable for it's price, less demanding lens-based scheme, no collimation, quick thermal stabilization, easy to operate, goes with any mount, cheap enough to not regret if you didnt liked the astronomy. Note: avoid fork-type alt-az mounts (AZ1 and AZ2). They are floppy, has bad machining and generally garbage and just hobby killers. I'd recommend to go for EQ2 mount and it's variations and higher from the get go. Equatorial mount will give you a touch of true astronomy experience. In other words: 1) 70/700 refractor is a solid starter for a novice 2) The mount is what makes most of the job. Good mount is a key to pleasant astronomy

So is starmax 127 better than starmax 102? And should one go with AZ Pronto manual or AZ-GTE/AZ-GTI WiFi mount?

Do you suggest Telescope AC 60/700 AZ-1 for begginers?

You are precious! Great info.

where does this accent come from

Dobsonian is the type of mount used!

If companies like skywatcher, zwo, etc have not already been in touch with you to sponsor your channel they are fools.

You sound just like Rowena from supernatural!

Yes, it is decided. You shall be my stargazing wifu.

Helena, you have a great, fun personality and I love the accent. Such great information. Please do more videos.

I want to marry Helena’s accent
