The Blaze Star - Once in a Lifetime Shot - T Coronae Borealis

There is an exotic type of stellar outburst called a recurrent nova. It’s not a supernova, it’s even weirder than that. And one is scheduled to blow, like, right now.

i certainly have the feeling that i've listened to you talking more than my wife this week.

[JamesButcher-hv]

thanks for getting this video monterage to us

[naveenravindar]

4th day in a row?!? You’re spoiling us

[physmc]

You know it'll probably rain in the Pacific Northwest anyway when it goes Nova. Sounds like a fun spectroscopy project.

[sirmeowcelot]

Thanks again for another contribution to education.

[Stearnsy]

That astronaut perpetually bobbing in cosmic liquid is rather hypnotic.

[wodclerc]

You know why I freaking love this channel? Not just because of the astrophotography topics, there are others too like astrobackyard. No, this channel often also goes into the scientific and technical background of some topics.

And that... Is awesome 😁

[peterlaubscher]

Thanks for the alert - first time hearing about this event.

[RichardLaurence]

I’m really enjoying these regular posts!

[denniswatson]

Thanks Dylan. Always enjoy your videos.
Hopefully i will have my new rig set up to take some videos of the star. Will definitely add it to my list of targets to view and get photos

Opportunity for dynamic deep space images this just keeps getting better.

[Bendadaspenda]

Ah awesome you're talking about my favourite pastime, blazing and star gazing 😉😘

[robertsonsid]

I looked at Corona Borealis the other night and didn't see it. Still waiting!

[bronco_fv]

But, my reference pictures already taken. T CrB let’s go!

Just imaged the whole constellation two nights ago. It fits perfectly in fov with the Samyang/Rokinon/Wallimex 135mm f/2 lens with an APS-C camera sensor. And it takes only a few minutes of exposure time.

[M-Orion-Nebula]

LET'S GO, I love astrophysicist Dylan.

[carvrodrigo]

Looks like we now have Dylan every day, keep it up!!! 🎉

[mgmcd]

Oh snap, I learned something today. More content please!

[JMLAstrophotos]

i remember shooting RS Oph! My photos sucked!

[jedidiahwest]

Loving the extra content, keep it up!
