Trying to do Urban Astronomy

Recently in In my area skies are extremly clear. So i decided to do some Urban Astronomy instead of studying for "It".

Now from my current position i can see the ones listed below with naked eye:

- Orion Constellation

- Taurus(Only Aldebaran and surrounding stars)

- Jupiter

- Luna

- Sirius

- Couple of Unindentified Stars near Sirius.

I can see the ones listed below with my devices.

- Entirity of Orion(Smaller Stars)

- Entirity of Taurus

- Messier 45

- "Him"

- Gemini Constellation

- Capella(One of my Favorites)

- 49 Eridani

- Alphard

- And a Bunch of other stars aswell

I Always loved astronomy. But until recent years i was not able properly do astronomy until recent years when my father gifted some equipment from one of his friends.

The Second problem is The place i live(Istanbul) has so much pollution it was nearly impossible to actually see things. Luckily after the pandemic it got greatly reduced.

I am currently planning to go to a remote place in Antalya in Summer with a new Telescope so i can finaly observe things better.

I would probably do a new blog post by then about my observations. Maybe i may try to create a small system that can align my telescope automatically by then.
