Phil!

Good job on the video blog thingy. I wish I had enough time to do more of that stuff! Now and then we include a small video with our podcast and put it on the front page of our site. We haven’t done one in a while so… this might kick me back into gear!

You’ll have to wait a few years to see it again? I think I saw on TV that it will be another 3,000 years before it returns. When is it returning, exactly?

Very nice, but it must have taken a lot of time to put this together!

Added note;

Microphones are a lot like eyepieces. You can get a fairly decent one for a few tens of dollars, but the really good ones are REALLY expensive!

BEWARE!!!!! Slippery slope ahead! Sound work is much like astronomy. You can get started for a couple hundred bucks, but there is NO upper limit as to how much you can spend in search of that last little incremental improvement. I am a semi-retired soundman (mostly live sound reinforcement, but I’ve also done a few CDs). I have about $20K of equipment that i don’t use much any more, but I have an absolute KILLER stereo in my living room!

I love this site…and your video…mainly because it’s so easy to be educated here. I’m less than an amateur, I know 3 or 4 constellations and live in a cloud-encrusted light-polluted Great Lakes city. On the NASA sites, you’ve kind of gotta know your stuff in order to learn, but on BA, I feel like I’m in a class that I love and look forward to attending every day. I manage to learn something each day, and I’m generally talking enthusiastically about it to the family at the table. BA has linked me to places and things I never knew existed, and made me think deeply now and then - more deeply than I usually do anyway. (I don’t do that at work; they don’t pay me to think.) The video allowed me to finally meet my teacher, and that was cool. I guess we missed the comet due to relentless clouds, but I’ve learned a lot, so all is not lost. Loved the vid. Thanks.
