Astronomical Distances Sun Scaled to A Tangerine!
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
This is the precursor to my next video series of Planetary Imaging & Processing. You can do planetary imaging with any telescope and no need for expensive equipment. All you need is a web camera connected to your telescope! For most people, including me, it's hard to understand the vast distances in outer space. So the next time you try astrophotography, remember, chances are the light from your distant target, may have left before human beings existed on planet Earth!

I got why you said the stating at 3:30 is fail after couple seconds after watching it again :) I don't know why it took me so long :)

How can the milky way fit in between mars and earth?!? Just when we take the fact that our solar system is part of the milky way, how can it then fit in between any of our planets?!?!

It's fitting that his last name is Hubble.

If some of the bigger planets got that close then we would end up on them.

Excellent!

Thanks for watching dajohnso! I know I've been side tracking on equipment videos for awhile, but, I'm heading back into processing tips soon. My next series will discuss Planetary Imaging & Processing. Processing Planets use a different technique than DSO. Doug

Doug, thank you so much for your photoshop tutorials on enhancing images. They have been extremely helpful to me.

Uceid, it's one of things I think every takes for granted, the scale of our solar system people begin to understand, but, the shear vastness of the Milky Way is amazing, and to think there's billion upon billions of Milky ways out there boggles the mind! Thanks for watching! Doug
