As someone who’s new to the hobby and with a manual EQ mount I’ve learned a ton from this video, even the little details, thank you:)

ay bro im sure you've seen this kinda comment a million times, but you seriously pulled together a damn good video, very informative. ive been recently getting into astrophotography and slowly learning more and more about the art and the process and you've been a great help, thanks for helping the many people including myself find their way through this hobby. ill be sure to stick around more, cheers

today can be

Hi, thanks so much for your videos and effort..I have a problem, my photos, the result after stacking is a halo on the edge of the planet, how can I remove with registax or orher program? Thank you Greetings

Another nice thing about a 6" dob, especially with a 2" focuser, is the f8 focal ratio is really easy on eyepieces, like the 30mm superview that comes with the bigger models, at f5 and f6, there is considerable astimatism (and coma) in the outer part of the field, and at f8 it is nowhere near as bad, so you dont need to go to the big heavy panoptic, nagler and copies of those eyepieces to get decent edge performance. Superviews, Q70s and UWA80s work pretty well at f8.

Did anyone else see something in that moon shot that was weird?

Had the option to buy a xt8 or xt intelliscope from 2 guys both for $600, the xt8 came with some stuff so I went for that one, plus most reviews including ed ting UA-camr says to get the 8 regardless for transport and ease, although I am curious what the difference would’ve been but they said it’s nothing too crazy

Great video! I am facing an issue with auto stakkert! For some reason my "Analyse" button is nlurred and I can not click it. Could you please help me on how to fix it?

Hey there! quick question: why did you choose such a low ISO?

Very useful, thank you. Peace and love from Scotland

New to your channel. Very Nice! I heard about T Coronae Borealis so looking for an informative, no fluff channel for help. I think I just found it.

In reading some of the comments about Barlows I see that some have went one step higher and got the 2x -2in televu Powermate. Barlows are good just don't buy a cheap one,you'll regret it. Remember this you all garbage in garbage out. Spend the couple extra $ you will only need to do it once and the rewards will pay off 2 fold. I've had mine since 2008 alone with a Paracor for my 8in and 14 in dobs. Best money ever spent. I'm not blowing my own whistle I just want to make all of you aware of a little extra goes a long way for the future,because those two accessory will last a life time for any 2 in. focuser scope.

I went through several cheap Barlow lens and they are always a problem. The clarity dropped and my focus were far off when switching. I got dissuaded from it until recently when the folks at cloudy nights mentioned getting a Barlow. I ended up buying a Televue 2x 2” Powermate. I have ZERO regrets shelling out money for it because I can barely tell the difference in clarity with and without it.

I really liked the video, this eyepiece will work for a firstscope 21024 76/300 since I use the factory 4mm 20mm ones, I use these eyepieces with the svbony 137 barlow, it gives me 3x or 2x zoom with a removable lens.

Lenses is not the preferred nomenclature, asian American, please

Since I’m on the other side of the world, will I be able to see the Aires meteor shower from Tokyo at night?

What star TRACKER you using ?

I think I saw this at 3:22 this a.m. in cape cod. It was huge and bright with a tail.❤

Why does everyone forget M92 globular cluster in Hercules ??? It’s not as big and bright but it’s still very nice and easy to find nearby M13.

M104 the Sombrero Galaxy is my first target in Astrophotography

i saw it!

For me the final result is always either completely white or has an error message saying “vector T is too long” before crashing. I don’t know why this is happening.

I could not align the pictures, it process everything as where they are and final picture looks drifted. I did all the things that you did. Can you help me please? (Im trying to Croc's Eye Galaxy but after process i have 3 Croc's Eye Galaxy)

Hey man I just saw 12-15 stars moving in a line and 3 of them were in group , they were very clear and can be easily seen by naked eyes, can you just tell me what were them huh😅

The lightness mask looks similar to the background mask you created. Would the lightness mask also work for the local histogram equalization step?

If that comet becomes as bright as hoped, hopefully the weather will cooperate

Thank you for this video I appreciate it

More appreciate to the only creator of all.

mars and saturn have both been a lot of fun to view the past month, although mars is still just too far and low to the horizon to get surface detail from my 8" dob 😅 really excited for january next year to get some good views of it!

Lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies waiting and waiting and waiting

Really very useful, many thanks, peace and love from Scotland

This Morning at 3 am ?

❤❤

I really like being able to step out of the house in flip flops and t shirt to stargaze. I also love the serenity before summer sunrises and listening to the birds waking up.

As always, an excellent, accurate and non-sensational look at what’s up. Thank you! 🙏

Thanks for the video. Do you recall the telescope focal length used to capture M13?

Excellent look ahead, typical spring weather here, hoping June will bring a few clear nights.

Sounds good, if the rain and clouds go away.

In my sky there are like 4-5 stars shining all the time

Amazing video

Great video and clearly explained! I finally understand the meaning of histogram 😂😂

When I use a 3x Barlow lens on my Maksutov Cassegrain (1500mm focal length, 127mm aperture), I see a bright spot in the middle when taking photos with a camera. I can't see this visually, but in this case I can't really see the image in focus, or the contrast is very weak, especially with bright objects (e.g. the moon), so that it's no longer really possible to focus, and you can hardly recognize anything). With the camera the image is clearer and sharp except in the area where the bright spot is. If I don't use the Barlow lens, but instead use a longer distance (connection to the telescope + deflection + 55mm camera adapter), I can also see the bright spot even wothout barlow lense. The further I pull the camera out, the sharper the spot becomes until a ring can be seen. This is despite the fact that the object being observed can still be brought into focus. The ring looks like the small interior mirror of the Maksutov. (like looking into the telescope with the naked eye without an eyepiece and without anything) Is this normal, or is there something wrong? I've had the Barlow lens for a while, but I only noticed the spot while observing the moon with the Barlow lens. I'm not sure if I've done that before, but I don't think so. If it's normal, I'd be surprised, because that would mean that the image is actually always somewhat blurred by a very large version of the spot, even if you don't have that big of an optical path.

What’s the reason behind flat frames needing to be the same orientation?

Sombrero Galaxy is also one of the brightest.

I don't miss any of videos, most of my stargazing is with the naked eye and with a celestron 20x80 skymaster binoculars. Your videos are very helpful for scheduling the month. Thank you

When I stack image it gets too bright

Can you take the dark, flat and bias frames at a later date than when you capture the lights? Say I'm on a backpacking trip with friends, and I spend a half hour to 45 mins while camping taking Milkyway photos, can I then come back home, and take the darks, flats and biases at a later date so that I'm not taking up too much of my time taking these on site?

the earth is a level plane!!

2024: A year of cosmic events. A total Solar eclipse captivated sky gazers in western hemisphere on April 8. This year also will reveal a comet , soon to be visible in the night sky. Superstitious housewives, excited astronomers, conspiracy theorists : all types of Sapiens are intensely interested in these cosmic events. From the depth of space, a nomadic celestial body is fast approaching our solar system. A comet ! Captivating the eyes and imaginations of millions of sky gazers. A comet is a cosmic wanderer , intruding upon our solar neighbourhood occasionally. Like when a unknown stranger intrudes on our neighbourhood, all dogs start barking, housewives will peer out from their windows to stare at the stranger, fear and suspicions in their mind. And later when the stranger is gone, all the fears and suspicions will also melt away. A comet is also like that stranger who trespass on our solar neighbourhood occasionally. And we stare at it until it's gone....and forgotten. Unlike other planets, these marauding monsters do not have a fixed path. They are like nomadic gypsies of space... always moving unpredictably. That's why there is an element of fear linked to a comet. Of course thanks to science, we know now that these celestial objects are just huge blocks of ice and dust roaming around the universe. But for our illiterate ancestors, these unusual events must have triggered fear and hysteria."What is that thing in the sky? Why did it arrive ? What will happen now ?" People always fear what they don't understand. That's why superstitions are called the product of ignorance. Comets and solar eclipses were considered evil omens : harbingers of death and disasters on earth. In ancient times, comets were often viewed as prelude to catastrophe, wars, plagues, and other calamities. The appearance of a comet was believed to signal the arrival of dark forces.Even today, echoes of these superstitions remain , even in western world. Reminiscent of the 1997 Hale Bopp comet . Dozens of Americans had committed mass suicide coinciding with this comet. Those suicidals belonged to a cult known as Heaven's Gate , who believed that comet is an extraterrestrial vehicle to paradise. Exactly thirty years ago in 1994 a comet crashed on Jupiter, seen live on TV by worldwide audience for the first time in history. A spectacular sight which inspired doomsday Hollywood movies like Armageddon. In 1995 there was a total Solar eclipse, seen by millions in Asia. I remember watching with my family the live telecast in Door darshan TV. I also remember the hysteria among many people in south Asia related to those cosmic events. Oh yes , who can forget that infamous Lord Ganesha rumour? Obviously these were the same people who wasted millions of litres of milk after a rumour spread that statues of Lord Ganesha are drinking milk offered by devotees. Even thirty years ago, before the arrival of the internet and social media viral videos, that rumour had spread really fast. Welcome to the Republic of rumours ! On the positive side, comets have also been heralded as symbols of rebirth and renewal. In some cultures, these celestial visitors are seen as messengers of change, signalling new beginnings and spiritual awakening. Fortune-tellers and astrologers will offer their own astrological interpretations, telling tales of new change in destiny. Astrological rings and amulets will sell like hotcakes. If you are an astrologer or astronomer, a cosmic event is always good for business. For any curious star watcher , seeing a comet travelling across the sky inspires wonder and reflection, compelling humanity to contemplate the meaning of vast cosmos.How insignificant our earthly personal problems feel when we behold such extraordinary cosmic events. Hopefully this year the public will not fall into mindless rumours and superstitions.

I just started taking up Astronomy, im in South Africa, your guide has been so helpful to me, thank you.
