Tonight we're going to use one of the BIGGEST amateur telescopes money can buy (the C14 HD Edge) to look at a volcano on the moon, clouds on Mars, Ganymede rising from behind Jupiter AND a rare Mars occultation! And we're going to be doing it all from my roof in London!

    I love it when people who upload get straight to the point. No ads, sponsors, or 3 minutes of talking nonsense.
  • @benjaggers7553
    That picture of Mars setting behind the Moon bought a tear to my eye. What a stunning shot!
  • @Clungedoctor
    That mars setting behind the moon image is phenomenal 🤯
  • @FindingGreenOS
    I got one of those beginner £40 telescopes for xmas and near lost my mind looking at Jupiter and several of its moons as tiny pin pricks of light a couple of weeks ago. I think I would genuinely be rendered speechless seeing this kind of detail with my own eyes. So so cool
  • @oximo8707
    Words can't exactly express how excited I am to watch another one of your videos. Your enthusiasm got me to buy a cheap telescope and a pair of binoculars for stargazing which I do whenever time and clouds allow. Keep on with the good work.
  • @cdz9400
    I have watched videos from big astrophotographers like Astrobaclyard and Nebula Photos, but you are probably my favorite. Your content is so entertaining and informational, and you inspire me to try out DIY astrophotography projects
  • @rjsmith6698
    I’m a little surprised you could see so much amongst all the lights of London, and with a blazing full moon. That’s quite the telescope!
  • @tjzambonischwartz
    That occultation of Mars was the first one I ever observed live through a telescope. Viewed it with a 6" dobsonian under decent seeing conditions. It was phenomenal.
  • @-Jeremiah-
    Rory, Your infectious enthusiasm and unbridled excitement are unrivaled on YouTube. It is those qualities that keep me tuned into your channel and indeed inspired me to start shooting images of my own. Keep up the inspiration and educating and please never lose that spark of wonder in every endeavor. Cheers & CS
  • It was nice seeing your planetary work again, all of your work is absolutely amazing!
  • @TheEmpiredown
    7:35 .... That face! Many of us nerds have been fortunate enough to make it at least once (and thankfully usually alone so no witnesses!). How lucky we all are to do so! Fantastic vid as always, folks! Danke! SS
  • This is literally a TV show. I wish it was on all the time putting out new episodes.I love your voice.I could listen to you narrate all day.❤ I have a Celestron 80EQ and a couple nice eyepieces. I am quite impressed with it especially after I seen your pictures with the $10,000 telescope.
  • @kennyalpha22
    After such a long time. I wish uploads were regular. This channel could have been the most subbed astronomy channel on the platform.
  • @rickybojangles162
    God you deserve so many more subs than you have right now. Absolutely top tier content, I constantly wait for new videos from you, legitimate TV style content this is. Love it 💪🏻🔭
  • One of my favorite things to do with my 8inch Dob is to plan the right time to watch the moons of Jupiter or Saturn rising or setting with those planets. Yeah the moons may be a little more then a pin point of light, but I still know I'm watching another planets moon rise from the comfort of Earth in my own backyard and that never gets old to me.
  • @danieltaylor6489
    I've binged all your videos on YouTube, some twice or more 😁I can't wait to see the new video 👍👍👍
  • @39XenonD
    I'm by a far stretch no astro-telescope-galaxies-shenanigans-guy, but I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Always happy to see one. Thank you good sir for sharing your enthusiasm! :)
  • @telboyjack100
    You can see your money disappearing faster than the speed of light.
  • @rogats
    Finally an amateur video about the moon in which I cannot smugly comment: "well I can do that with my Nikon P1000 for a fraction of the cost!" 😁
