Episode 37 - Let's talk Astro (Part 3)

The Astrocast

WELCOME BAAAAACK TO THE ASTROCAST! Thank you for being patient with me for this episode, me and Jess had a little vacation time for our 10-year anniversary, so we disappeared for a bit! To thank you for waiting, we have SUPERSIZED this episode!
A quick reminder - if you would like to support the show, there are several ways you can! The #1 choice would be to join our Patreon! This will get you access to the Members Only Discord, where we discuss all things Astro and Life each and every day! I hope to see you there, we're starting to have early discussions about our first group meetup!
Second, we are affiliates with High Point Scientific! If you make a purchase at Highpoint using our affiliate link, you'll get the same great prices and equipment while also ensuring a small amount of the profit goes to help support the show. Thanks so much for that!
Finally, we are now affiliates with Amazon! If/when there is a cheaper product that I would recommend just getting through Amazon (which would be a NON crucial part...) - you can purchase through the shows affiliate link, same deal as with High Point! Thanks so much.
This week on the show, we start with a trip to Salem MA, and discuss what the star seeing was like up there (which surprised me) as well as photographing the sunrise over the Salem Wharf.
Afterwards, we answer a listener's question (Shoutout to Martyn, our newest Patreon supporter!) about getting back in to AP, and make some suggestions for how to best utilize the gear he already has.
Finally, Roo gets into a recap of all the various Astronomy software he personally uses, what he likes about them, and what he'd recommend for you. If you are curious about using some different AP software you haven't touched, this should be great!
Thank you SO MUCH for tuning in to the show! I'm happy to be back and starting next week we should start coming back on Tuesday or Wednesday night weekly. I very much appreciate you listening, thanks so much! CLEAR SKIES!
I can't fit ALL the links from this weeks show here, so please feel free to click on this link to a google document that i've listed them all in!
LINKS FROM THIS WEEKS SHOW!

Here's a few of them that I could fit here:
Right Angle Viewfinder (for easy polar alignment with Star Tracker): https://amzn.to/3ApdEYN (This was a bit cheaper when I purchased mine 6 months ago, but even at this price I say it’s a great buy. Saves your knees BIG time)

Dew Heater (usb) : https://amzn.to/4hzBMIK (I own 3 of these and love them. They work great and if you set them to low you can use a portable 10,000 mah battery bank to power them all night long)

Laser Pointer (for Polar Alignment) : https://amzn.to/3NTML28 (Remember, NEVER point a laser in the sky if a plane is near!)

Laser Pointer Holder Bracket: https://amzn.to/3AgTjF8

Wireless Intervalometer (I own this one!) : https://amzn.to/3YNyWsw

Here's a few of them that I could fit here, find the rest on the doc!

CLEAR SKIES!!!!
