00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,600
Howdy Star Gazers and welcome to this episode of Star Trails.

2
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:17,000
I'm Drew and I'll be your guide to the night sky for the week starting November the 3rd

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,000
to the 9th.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,120
Today's show is going to be a little different from our usual format.

5
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:29,160
Last weekend I attended a star party hosted by my local astronomy club, so I thought it

6
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:34,480
would be fun to take you inside the party where I had the chance to chat with astronomy

7
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:41,280
enthusiasts of all ages from seasoned star gazers to curious newcomers.

8
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,640
And later in the show we'll take a look at what you can expect to see in the night sky

9
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,800
as we kick off November.

10
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:59,120
So grab a comfortable spot under the night sky and let's get started.

11
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:06,600
Being at a star party is like stepping into a shared dream, a mix of curiosity, excitement,

12
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,000
and a touch of nostalgia.

13
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,880
Tonight the Midlands Astronomy Club converges at one of their secluded observation sites.

14
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:20,120
The twice yearly gathering is a chance for family, friends, and those curious about the

15
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,360
hobby.

16
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:28,280
After an hours drive northward with daylight waning, I arrived at the club's dark sky

17
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:34,680
sanctuary just in time to join the familiar faces that bring these nights to life.

18
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,000
Seasoned observers, club veterans, and newcomers.

19
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,120
Telescopes of all kinds already point skyward waiting for nightfall.

20
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:49,800
Skies are clear for now, but a front is forecasted to arrive this evening and that could bring

21
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,240
clouds or even rain.

22
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:57,640
The real star of the event is the food and will enjoy the cookout even if observation

23
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,040
is impossible.

24
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,520
Club President Mike Roberts, who normally plans the club's monthly meetings and topics,

25
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,800
has one of the most important roles of the night, manning the grill.

26
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,600
Ever since I was a kid I've always looked at the sky and that's true of most of us.

27
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,880
Most of us have been doing this for our entire life and I just like getting out there and

28
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,400
looking, looking at the sky.

29
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,800
But it's not just about looking at the stars, it's about sharing that fascination, connecting

30
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,920
with others who feel the same pull of the cosmos.

31
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:36,040
Hap Griffin was one of the original members to build an observatory on the site some years

32
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,040
ago.

33
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:42,400
It's a chance for people like us that are just enamored by the night sky and getting

34
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:49,200
together with people that are interested in the same things that you are under a really

35
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,640
magnificent night sky is just the best.

36
00:02:53,640 --> 00:03:00,640
Between Hap's observatory and his neighbor, Frank, an impromptu gathering space is formed.

37
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:06,200
Astronomers huddle together, guitars in hand, sharing melodies and stories beneath the darkening

38
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,840
sky.

39
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,960
Most of these club members have known each other for years.

40
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:16,080
I'm a relative newcomer but before I knew it someone handed me a guitar and invited

41
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:21,480
me to join in over the murmur of cosmic chatter.

42
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,680
The cloud was a big deal because they hadn't really discovered how to do agriculture yet.

43
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,600
You know what I mean?

44
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,160
So yeah, that was important to them.

45
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,160
That's a mega centaurious.

46
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,680
That was my next guess because they had that color.

47
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:34,680
Yeah.

48
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,280
That dim copper color around there.

49
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,080
But that's with a homemade telescope.

50
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:44,520
I figured that, I ground figured it, polished it and figured it.

51
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,000
And that's the scope that I built.

52
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,680
It's carbon fiber tube.

53
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:48,680
Wow.

54
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:49,680
F3.9.

55
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,280
That's beautiful.

56
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,800
As you can guess, it doesn't take long before the talk turns to telescopes.

57
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,840
Well, I joined the club when I was 13 or 14 years old.

58
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,360
I've been in astronomy since 1985 as a first grader.

59
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,400
That's past club president Wes Mein.

60
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,160
I started with a department to store telescope from the old service merchandise.

61
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,400
You probably remember this in the 80s.

62
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:18,080
It showed me the craters of the moon and I thought only PhD scientists could see that.

63
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,120
But that was my ticket.

64
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,800
And I just, that telescope, looking back is far inferior to what I own now.

65
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:33,080
But I treated that thing like it was my own low-observatory or monarchy observatory.

66
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,280
I just felt like I discovered the moon myself.

67
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:40,120
For many, telescopes are more than tools.

68
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:45,760
They're extensions of a passion for the stars, each scope reflecting its owner's unique

69
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:46,760
story.

70
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:47,760
Okay.

71
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,440
The center here gets corrected, color corrected and aberration corrected, bounces off the

72
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,400
primary mirror, back toward a mirror mounted in the center of this corrected lens.

73
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:02,040
Amateur astronomer Steve Dornberg takes pride in using what would be deemed a vintage scope

74
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,480
nowadays.

75
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:10,040
His blue, gray and gold Dynamax scope looked futuristic in the early 80s, but has since

76
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:17,240
graduated to retro cool status, judging by how many Gawkers he gets when he sets it up.

77
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:22,600
Well, assuming I can keep my optics from fogging up, I'll get my eight-inch Schmitt

78
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,480
Cassegrain made by Dynamax, which is no longer in production, out here and we'll take a

79
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,980
look at some stars.

80
00:05:28,980 --> 00:05:30,680
And this is a...

81
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:31,680
Pesto?

82
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:32,680
This is a Dynamax.

83
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:33,680
It's a competitive Celestron.

84
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:34,680
Okay.

85
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:35,680
It's called Dynamax.

86
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,560
It's no longer in business.

87
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:43,040
In an era when most astronomers are using some sort of computer-assisted guiding or a smart

88
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:49,600
scope, Steve relies on methods more in line with the age of his scope, which still renders

89
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,280
beautiful views of planets and deep-sky objects.

90
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:54,280
Absolutely.

91
00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:58,040
The optics, I mean, I've taken meticulous care of the telescope in the years that I've

92
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,520
had it, and it's all about the optics at the end of the day.

93
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,800
I don't have a lot of the G-Wiz computer technology because it simply didn't exist when I bought

94
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,300
the telescope.

95
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:07,300
But it can track.

96
00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:08,300
I do have a...

97
00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:09,440
It does have a drive motor on it.

98
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,960
It can track if I line it properly.

99
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:18,600
And other than that, I have a Tyrion Epoch 2000 star chart in here that I can look things

100
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:19,600
up.

101
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:20,600
It is not totally current.

102
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,160
Some of the stars may have drifted a bit in 24 years, but they should be relatively

103
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,160
close.

104
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,400
My right ascension and declination may be a bit off of, hey.

105
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,080
Across the field, a crowd has lined up to view the setting sun through a solar scope.

106
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:42,080
Look, close one eye, look at the other.

107
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,080
There you go.

108
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,080
Good to see you.

109
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,080
You see the big white ball?

110
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,080
Yeah.

111
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,080
Okay, the big white ball is the sun.

112
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,080
Oh.

113
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,080
Do you see black spots on it?

114
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,080
Yeah, I do.

115
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,080
Those are sunspots, and they are bigger.

116
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,680
Guests quickly learn that if a scope is pointed at the sky, chances are they'll be invited

117
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,920
to peer into it.

118
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,600
When you come to a star party, there's going to be generally a number of different types

119
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:06,400
of telescopes to look through if you're trying to get an idea for a telescope that you might

120
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,320
want to buy if you're a beginner.

121
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,960
It's great to look through a lot of different types of telescopes because there'll be a

122
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,840
half a dozen different types of scopes here, and you can see what the pluses and minuses

123
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,920
are of each and things like that.

124
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:24,360
So a star party is a great chance to actually kick the tires, so to speak, on other people's

125
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,400
equipment, and they're happy for you to look through it or they wouldn't have brought it.

126
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,800
Oh, we got bands.

127
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:31,800
Band?

128
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,800
Oh, we got bands.

129
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,800
All right, repeat the view.

130
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,800
Oh, my God.

131
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,280
Guests, you need to see that.

132
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,760
Yeah, yeah, don't touch anything.

133
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:48,640
For Paul Romanosin, who has been the club's observation chairman for 20 years, education

134
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,720
is at the core of the club's mission.

135
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,160
Well, one of the things is if you have a telescope for long enough, you need motivation to take

136
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,360
it out.

137
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,080
So the reason to take it out is to show people stuff.

138
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,200
Do you see the ring?

139
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,280
Yeah, it looks like a little...

140
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,280
It looks like what you're looking at.

141
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,280
Did you see the bands on the ring and the...

142
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,280
I mean on the...

143
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,920
Did you see the little dots on either side?

144
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:10,920
Did you see the moons?

145
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:11,920
Those are the moons, eh?

146
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,920
Well, we do programs for schools.

147
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,280
We got an outreach that's coming up, two more.

148
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:23,000
We try to do them on the round the first quarter moons, so there's something that's got nice

149
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,000
visuals.

150
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:31,520
How you doing?

151
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,480
The clouds that were threatening earlier have officially rolled in, covering up the handful

152
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:44,880
of twilight targets that were being studied.

153
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,720
But no one is singing the blues.

154
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,160
Some of our best star parties have been where it did cloud up, and we just all sat around

155
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,160
and talked.

156
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,000
And number one, we were supposed to watch a meteor shower, I think, and a bunch of us

157
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,000
got together.

158
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,000
And it was cloudy.

159
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,160
We didn't see a single meteor.

160
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,240
But we sat around and talked, and I thought, here are people that know what I'm talking

161
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,080
about, and they...

162
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,600
And I know what they're talking about.

163
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:15,400
When I mentioned some big technical term or some concept, the fact that they understand

164
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,640
what I'm talking about and that they're talking about the same things that I'm talking about,

165
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:20,640
it was just...

166
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:21,920
It was enlightening.

167
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,440
It was like, hey, the light went off.

168
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,480
I've got to be a part of this forever.

169
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:32,880
Drizzle has begun, and several of us hastily toss our gear into cars and prepare for the

170
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,640
long ride home.

171
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,360
For most newcomers, the experience has been worth it.

172
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,840
I saw Saturn, and I saw the moon right next to Saturn.

173
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:49,520
I am very surprised to see in these telescopes how you're able to see a different side of

174
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:50,520
Saturn.

175
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,040
And I also enjoy the solar telescope.

176
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,040
That was very surprising.

177
00:09:55,040 --> 00:10:00,720
I actually didn't expect to see a spat on the sun.

178
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,120
I saw the moon, and I saw the sun earlier.

179
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,440
I saw Saturn pretty close.

180
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,000
It was pretty unique.

181
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,760
The sky to these stargazers is a canvas that stretches into infinity.

182
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,320
It's alive with stories that reveal new wonders.

183
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:22,040
Each time they look, they see something new, a brightening star, a comet, or simply the

184
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,920
vastness of space itself.

185
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,520
The sky is not painted on.

186
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,800
It actually has depth and meaning.

187
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:35,680
So if you look at the sky through a telescope or a pair of binoculars, and then you increase

188
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:39,240
the magnification on it, you're going to see farther out.

189
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,760
You're always going to be able to see more.

190
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:46,440
And there's stuff happening out there all the time, and stars are getting brighter, and

191
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,680
they're getting darker, and they're moving, and they're doing all kinds of things.

192
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:56,920
And so the sky is really a never-ending source of fascination.

193
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:05,760
There's a lot of stuff going on out there.

194
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,080
Here it's rarely just about what you see.

195
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:14,160
It's the moments of shared wonder and the camaraderie that binds them together, under

196
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:22,840
a sky that feels a little less vast when shared with others.

197
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:39,040
I hope you enjoyed that report from the field, and special thanks go to all the folks who

198
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,240
agreed to be interviewed.

199
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:52,840
You can learn more about the club at their website, midlandsastronomclub.com.

200
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:58,720
This first week of November promises to be great for early evening stargazing sessions,

201
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:04,800
as the moon's faint crescent and early set times allow for dark skies by mid-evening.

202
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:10,880
Also, daylight saving time ended today for observers in North America, so we have an

203
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,800
extra hour of evening darkness for stargazing.

204
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:23,760
Hopefully, you didn't bank on seeing the so-called Halloween Comet C2024S1.

205
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,920
Astronomers were predicting this one to be bright enough for daylight viewing, and then,

206
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:34,720
as comets sometimes do, it was vaporized on its trip around the sun.

207
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:42,560
Flying as close as 850,000 miles away from the sun, this comet was considered a sun-grazer.

208
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:46,440
Maybe they should have called it Icarus.

209
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:54,100
Comet C2023A3 Sushenshin Atlas is still out there, but it's fading fast.

210
00:12:54,100 --> 00:12:59,480
You may still be able to catch it with binoculars in a dark western sky for another week or

211
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:06,720
so.

212
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:12,280
On November 4, the moon will be in a thin, waxing crescent phase, creating a beautiful

213
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:19,720
sight in the southwestern sky alongside Venus, appearing about 45 minutes after sunset.

214
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:24,760
Venus will be just a few degrees above the moon, providing a striking view for early

215
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,760
evening observers.

216
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:32,400
The moon will be at first quarter by the end of the week, so if you're out moon-watching,

217
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,880
scan your scope or binoculars along the terminator.

218
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:43,320
That's the dividing line of night and day on the moon, to catch detail in 3D relief.

219
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,880
The torrid meteor shower will be visible from now until mid-month.

220
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:54,120
Known for producing a few bright fireballs, the torrids are best observed around midnight.

221
00:13:54,120 --> 00:14:00,120
Although not as prolific as other meteor showers, it can reveal about 5 to 15 meteors per hour

222
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,520
under ideal conditions.

223
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:08,920
Venus is low in the southwestern sky after sunset and bright, gradually setting about

224
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:14,600
2 hours after the sun as it moves eastward through Ophiuchus.

225
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:19,640
Saturn will be visible in the south after sunset, situated in Aquarius.

226
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:25,200
The ringed planet's position makes it a reliable sight for early evening viewing.

227
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:31,880
Jupiter rises later in the east near the constellation Taurus, shining brightly throughout the night.

228
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:38,480
Its proximity to the Pleiades starcluster and Aldebaran, the Eye of Taurus, adds extra

229
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,920
allure to the view.

230
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:46,360
Mars will begin its ascent around midnight, showing its reddish hue as it moves closer

231
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:56,880
to Earth.

232
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:02,880
This time of year offers up some classic deep sky objects loved by both new and veteran

233
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,200
stargazers.

234
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:13,000
First up is the Andromeda Galaxy M31, the closest large galaxy to our Milky Way.

235
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:19,200
In dark skies, you can spot it with the naked eye as a faint oblong smudge high in the northeast

236
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,240
after sunset.

237
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:26,560
With binoculars or a small telescope, you'll see more structure and appreciate the grandeur

238
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:32,520
of our neighboring galaxy, located more than 2 million light years away.

239
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:39,320
To find it, start with the constellation Cassiopeia, shaped like a W, and guide your view right

240
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,880
toward the Andromeda constellation nearby.

241
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:49,600
Another highlight is the Pleiades starcluster, also known as the Seven Sisters, which rises

242
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,480
in the eastern evening sky within the constellation Taurus.

243
00:15:54,480 --> 00:16:00,280
The cluster looks like a small, misty dipper to the naked eye, and through binoculars,

244
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:05,360
its individual blue stars shine beautifully against the dark sky.

245
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:10,880
It's easy to find near the bright orange star Aldebaran.

246
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:17,800
Orion, rising later in the night, brings us the breathtaking Orion nebula, M42, located

247
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,120
just below Orion's famous belt.

248
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:27,520
Even without any equipment, you'll see a soft glow in Orion's sword, and through binoculars,

249
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:35,320
M42 reveals itself as a cloud of gas and dust, a stellar nursery where new stars are born.

250
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:41,240
The nebula is one of the easiest and brightest deep sky objects to observe, making it a favorite

251
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,720
during the late night and early morning hours.

252
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:52,060
Finally, don't miss the double cluster in Perseus, located between Perseus and Cassiopeia.

253
00:16:52,060 --> 00:16:57,680
This pair of neighboring starclusters glows faintly to the naked eye, but reveals a stunning

254
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,760
array of bright blue stars and binoculars.

255
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:09,360
It's a treat on crisp autumn nights, and it's easily accessible from northern skies.

256
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:11,960
That's it for today's episode of Star Trails.

257
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:17,200
