AlphaPhoenix | Inside Grande Pines Observatory: Top-of-the-line amateur astronomy @AlphaPhoenixChannel | Uploaded 6 years ago | Updated 21 hours ago
A look inside Grande Pines Observatory! This observatory has featured in multiple timelapses, appearing in my channel trailer, the Barn Door tracker video, and the Polaris Timelapse video, but I've never actually done a video about the observatory and all of the awesome equipment inside, so here it is! Grande Pines Observatory is operated by my dad (the astronomer). He is also the presenter in this video. I got to have fun shooting somebody else's project this time! Hope you enjoy!

The gallery of images at the end of the video were taken in this observatory, some with the old 10" f/4.0 Newtonian telescope that the telescope featured here replaced.

Introducing the Magneto-Turboencabulator

Freezing water sounds like a special effect #shorts

$Five years in 49 minutes Ive had piles and piles of questions about the research that I did in gradschool, so here it is! Be careful what you wish for... About a year ago I defended my dissertation from UCSB in Materials, exploring, among other things, growth of a semiconductor called lead selenide, a narrow-gap material with a bright (ba-dum-tss) future in the realm of infrared optoelectronics. I hope you enjoy! For more information than you could ever reasonably desire: https://escholarship.org/content/qt9mj491xk/qt9mj491xk.pdf Viewers of the channel are probably going to be most interested in all the fun machines featured in chapter 2, Experimental Methods - Molecular beam epitaxy (making crystals in ultra high vacuum) - X-ray diffraction (explained with almost no math) - Electron microscopy (many variants) Music in this video: I Dunno by grapes is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/) http://ccmixter.org/files/grapes/16626$
