Tsula's Big Adventures

I have been interested in astronomy since I was very young. I have years of experience as an amateur astronomer and owned many telescopes and accessories over the years. My channel is mostly about visual astronomy. But I am also very interested in all nature has to offer. So, in my videos I share with you all kinds of adventures involving nature and astronomy. I have tutorials for amateur astronomers and people wanting to get into the hobby of amateur astronomy, reviews of astronomy equipment, and videos about dark sky sites for star gazing as well as star gazing tips and trips.

Hello and thank you everyone for helping me reach this big milestone of 10,000 subscribers. I really appreciate your support. It seems like just yesterday when only my mother would watch my videos and now my little channel has reached this milestone in just a short time. As soon as I return from my trip to a dark sky site to see the Orionids and the two comets, I am planning a thank you give away. Stay tuned and dark skies forever.

Hello Everyone. I am sorry but I am too sick to make a video this week. In addition, I have lost my voice. I hope to be back soon. Thank you for your understanding. To entertain you while I recover, here is a photo I took of a Cheetah while I was in Botswana.

PRIZE WINNER
On July 28, 2024, I pulled a random name from a bowl containing the names of all US residents who had left a comment to the video I published announcing I was giving away a prize. I randomly selected KH's name from the bowl. In the comments section of that video I sent a comment to KH on July 28, 2024, asking him to email me his name and US address so that I could mail him the prize, a Celestron E-lux 40mm 2 inch eyepiece. I have not heard back from KH. I will wait until midnight August 4, 2024, to receive an email from KH with the requested information. If I do not hear back from KH by that time I will put all the names except for KH into the bowl and make another random selection. KH let me hear from you by midnight August 4, 2024. My email is listed in the comment I sent you on July 28, 2024, letting you know you had won.
