theres no way you could see a single, singular individual star in andromeda galaxy. or any other near distant gallaxies for that matter.
so, not a single star then. have you at least try to look at uranus.
You didn't specify individually resolved stars...but yes you can see individual stars in other galaxies...supernovas.
Globular clusters have 100s/1000s of individually resolvable stars.
btw...stars are not the only things to look at dumbny. -

dont have to. i said stars, not lumps of lights.Globular clusters have 100s/1000s of individually resolvable stars.
no, those are blobs of light with even small blobs of lights around it. theres no way to acertian if those smaller dots are individual stars or a bunch of other stars.btw…stars are not the only things to look at dumbny.
yea, your first choice has always been uranus. -

Yes a star is a blob of light if that's how you want to class it (a point of light to be more accurate)theres no way to acertian if those smaller dots are individual stars or a bunch of other stars.
Yes there is:
1, confirming your observations with verified data on the object
2, spectroscopy (yes you can do it at home relatively simply and cheaply).yea, your first choice has always been uranus.
A pretty dull object to look at. Here's a photo of Saturn a fellow astronomy chum took a few days ago using the same equipment I own...much prettier than Uranus...or mine.

Its amazing how home astonomy is getting more affordable. Thats an amazing shot. And in the winter when the air is les disturbed on a cold night, you can mount a telescope on a tracker on the roof of your house and view it live on your computer monitor or big sceen tv and rotate it or auto track it. Take desktop snapshots. Takes the fun out of camping out and doing it. Yosemite was a good place but city lights have polluted from the valley -

I have a darksite I go out to about 80 miles west of Houston, It's pretty much worthless trying from Houston -

Yeah. Much of the west is losing to light pollution however state parks like Death Valley can offer up some good viewing prospects. Even in the summertime, a 120*f day can dip into the upper 20's im told. I still want to visit that Devils Racetrack Playa off I-395. Im told there is only dirt roads and sharp rocks slashing tires. Bring extra if 4 wheel driving -

yes, a star is a blob of light but a blob of light isnt necessarily a star.

1, confirming your observations with verified data on the object
o, thats just like lookimg at a blury and low res image of monalisa, and then referring to outside confirmation that its really monalisa that your looking at and then going back to look amd admire the low res and blury view of it.
thats kinda of how amateur asstronomy is.2, spectroscopy (yes you can do it at home relatively simply and cheaply).
are you planing to buy equipment for this as well.A pretty dull object to look at. Here's a photo of Saturn a fellow astronomy chum took a few days ago using the same equipment I own…much prettier than Uranus…or mine.
dont you have any pictures of your own to show us. -

Amateur Astronomy is the only Science left where an amateur can make a scientific contribution. There are more amateurs looking at the sky and making discoveries that there are professionals, comets for example are primarily discovered by Amateurs.are you planing to buy equipment for this as well.
No need, the club I belong to already has loaner equipment but as I said, you can do it cheaply anyway...under $200.dont you have any pictures of your own to show us.
Not really.
I used to do astrophotograhy in the late 80s early 90s (and had some published) but I'm a visual astronomer now. I recently (re: this year) gathered all the equipment to startup astrophotography again (obviously digital this time whereas back then it was film) but there is a lot to learn so I've not even taken a photo yet. This year I've managed to get to the darksite 3 times...due to weather and other reasons preventing me from doing the trip.
..btw what does any of this have to do with me filling my time with my many hobbies and interests?? this is just one...when I'm not doing this I'm usually soldering something or nose deep IN YOUR MOM'S PUSSY. -
2021-06-03 at 12:13 PM UTCVinny...tell us about how you fill your free time...what are your hobbies and interests?

1- not true at all.
amateurs, from amateur archeologists to amateur chemists to amateur bird watchers and amateur phillosophers do contribute greatly to the field of sciences as well...btw what does any of this have to do with me filling my time with my many hobbies and interests?? this is just one…when I'm not doing this I'm usually soldering something or nose deep IN YOUR MOM'S PUSSY.
its about your illusion of having hobbies and interests. people who have genuine interest or hobby usually have one, two at most and they spend all their time on them.
they dont go around like men shopping for prostitutes. -

Philosophy and bird watching in the same breath as science lololololits about your illusion of having hobbies and interests. people who have genuine interest or hobby usually have one, two at most and they spend all their time on them.
.
Who told you that?
It's called multitasking, most people can do it.they dont go around like men shopping for prostitutes.
They can maintain their various hobbies and interests and visit prostitutes (i.e. the Asian spa) too...it's not one or the other. -
