Cute - my only grumble is how long the video is!

"Cute"?

NASA would be thrilled at that comprehensive review

And, perhaps, at yours, too...?!

I liked the imagery. It's hard to imagine the 3D structure of the two dimensional objects we see in the eyepiece.

All this cuteness is getting a bit much.

I would say excellent would be a more apt description.
Music is not to my liking though but the journey through the nebula
was cool

Cheers

NASA needs an optics upgrade - the halation / CA on those stars was unacceptable

I liked it immensely. Music...well at least it wasn't Van Halen or something similar as usual.

Beautiful.
Did anyone see the attack ships?
I think I caught a glimpse...

I agree about the music: spare us all!

So what speed were we doing?

At a given radius of 12 Light Years for the Orion nebula,it would be traveling faster than light speed to traverse the nebula in 3.5 minutes.
Which we know is not possible.

I think 154.28 light years per hour.
At that speed only 13,000 years to m31?
And yet in star trek gallaxies are only days, or less, away.

Define a warp factor, and you can establish a speed relative tot hat of light.

Warp 9 may be 900000000000000000 times faster than light.... ya never know in a made up universe.
