What can you see through a $10k telescope?

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.

That mars setting behind the moon image is phenomenal 🤯

[benjaggers]

That picture of Mars setting behind the Moon bought a tear to my eye. What a stunning shot!

[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

[oximo]

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.

You can see your money disappearing faster than the speed of light.

You can see your bank balance falling and an annoyed spouse!

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.

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

[rjsmith]

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!

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!

[therepresentative]

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.

[kennyalpha]

After such a long time. I wish uploads were regular. This channel could have been the most subbed astronomy channel on the platform.

[rickybojangles]

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 💪🏻🔭

[danieltaylor]

I've binged all your videos on YouTube, some twice or more 😁I can't wait to see the new video 👍👍👍

[yodasmomisondrugs]

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.

[Discordia__]

The same clouds I can see through my £300 telescope 😅

[fortyfour]

Wow! Thanks for sharing. Better than a lot of the produced and scripted Astronomy shows! You never know what’s real photos or cgi….thank you for being clear, made it so great!

[mauriliimatainen]

I was *literally* just now wondering when I could see one of your great videos! Haven't even watched it yet, but I've already given a "thumbs up"! Thank you! I know it's a lot of work creating these videos, but we definitely appreciate the efforts. Hats off to you, good sir!
