They're actually quite amazing

Glad the app is working for you Robert :) Thanks for watching the video as well. With the Hamilton Star Party, i don't think there is a Star Party in Hamilton next year, but there is one in Mildura :)

Once I get the 3D printer back up and running again I'll let you know

This is the reason I went to Samsung, better sensor & longer exposure length in the app. Also has the expert raw camera app which allows me to turn the camera into a DSLR & I can do timelapse with it

Hi @The_Astro_PuNk Which image stacker do you use?

I use AstroPixelProcessor & also PixInsight to do the stacking

@@The_Astro_PuNk thanks for your rapid response. I'll check those out. 👍👍👍

You're welcome. I will eventually do a video on stacking phone data with each of them.

There are some great apps for iPhones as well. Might see if I can get a hold of an iPhone and see what I can do with jt

Some were but aren't anymore, others are indeed. I won't name them because that would be stooping to their level & I'm not one to do that.

@@The_Astro_PuNk "them"? so there's more than one? That's terrible! Shame on them. Matey, next time they post something, make sure you take a quick screenshot (even with your phone) that way you will have evidence. You can then use that to get them out of you volunteer club. Are they using pseudonyms? If not, just get their screen shots before they delete, and then take details to yoru club. keep strong man.

Thanks :) Yeah i put up with people like these at school when i was a kid, the bully who thinks he's done nothing wrong... You should see the list of names i've been publicly called by these guys .... it's just weird

Thanks for the lovely comment. Yes it's interesting isn't it that we seem to forget that even the bravest of souls, most powerful people also suffer & suffered from mental health issues. We should not shy away from discussing them openly & for asking for help.

Early detection of mental issues is crucial. In my area, most people are still ashamed and refuse to search for professional support, preferring to take random pills prescribed by the family doctor. Many adolescents exhibit signs of mental health issues, but some parents may feel hesitant to seek professional help from a psychologist due to stigma. As a result, some young people may turn to substance use as a way to cope. I lost several childhood friends, some of them are still alive but look like zombies. I feel extremely angry but it seems that things are gradually changing. The internet is a game-changer, and I think your video is helpful in highlighting the importance of talking about mental health more openly.

@@Helloooooooooooooo371 Totally agree with you, very true. I am sorry for the friends that you have lost. It's painful. I think that's why I appreciate videos like this one, and the one that Astropunk made a week or so ago on mental health. Many of us who suffer from this always feel isolated and afraid to speak up. Huge credit to Mr Iscaro for these videos; it's nice to know i am not alone. You're right - early detection and support are so important. When I was a teenager and young adult, I had no one. My life would have been different if I had support for my mental health back then. But that's okay... i'm making the best of things now which is good. Cheers to you and astropunk!

Agree with both of you on here. Wishing you all the best and happiness today and into the future.

@@emmapasqule2432 Thanks Emma :)

I do plan on going back to that area again, I'd love to spend a weekend up there camping.

Even with bad weather we ended up with one clear night & that timelapse i got from it made it all worthwhile

The buried treasure location of all the best milkyway timelapses

So am I! Hopefully I get it right

That's actually a very good idea. I'll work on one of those videos this weekend

@@The_Astro_PuNk That's great! I have a Redmi Note 12 device and unfortunately the app has some problem related to the focus sensor of this cell phone model. But the tutorial will be of great help!

I'll run through it using 3 different phones to show people the differences each phone can have and any issues I have with my versions

Thanks :) i will do a video in the next week or so showing the course i will be walking :)

I haven't imaged for 3 weeks because of cloud and the one night I did it was cloudy for half the night 😭

This darn weather is super frustrating

It's always difficult to speak out it, but it needs to be done

It really does vary day to day.

I'll continue to do so :) It is an important topic

I am the same, Life of the party, Always putting on the smile or attitude that everything is ok when deep inside it's dark & gloomy. Struggling with depression & anxiety is tough enough & when you throw imposter syndrome in, it's a struggle every day to get out of bed. I will do a longer one on this next week. I think it's important we openly discuss our struggles.

@@The_Astro_PuNk Huge respect to you. Thank you for sharing. You're speaking for a lot of us. Takes courage. Always enjoy your videos. You keep well man. And thanks - good to know i'm not the only one.

I love them!

Cool story bro... nice of you to out yourself as a homophobe.

@@The_Astro_PuNk im not scared of you bruh

Uumm... ok...

We need warm days with clear nights

Nice comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah.. damn fine scope indeed

I most definitely am having a heck of a lot of fun

@@kayasper6081 I do what I can

Thankfully no bugs here tonight.... I am dreading their return

This is true.... But i am quickly running out of room for all these wonderful toys

We all know i'm a Richard Cranium

It was a lot of fun, I'll be doing a lot more of this soon with an aim of becoming proficient enough in it that i can work with the team at Sidereal on a more permanent basis

I think i copped the luck of the draw this time. Last time (about 3 months ago) i wasn't so lucky.

Great comment Greg :) That's pretty much exactly how i see it and my videos & work while i enjoy them are there to show others that it's ok to go your own way, use phones & have fun doing astronomy. I'll always call out those who gatekeep this hobby whenever it happens, whether it's to me or to others. There's just no place for that kind of negative thinking in this or any hobby. Trolls will be trolls for sure & i will continue to call them on it.

Oh I totally agree. I wouldn't have it any other way in this hobby. Absolutely love it

Hmmm... That's actually a good idea :) I will put some thought into it & see what is out there & how i could go about reviewing them... thanks!

I figured it would work... but to what degree is another thing. Also seems I don't have enough bits and bobs with me here so I'm off the LMDSS tomorrow for the night and I'll have a play around there again

Diego works me hard....

Ahh see i'm not using it to guide with. Since i use my phone to image with, I still need a camera to move to each target & make sure it's centered, especially when it meridian flips. So technically i'm using the guide camera as my main camera. So yep it needs to be perfectly aligned so i know what's in the middle of that camera is in the middle of the eyepiece :)

That huge empty shed was the Murtoa Stick Shed. Was built to store grain in WW2, marvelous piece of engineering

Yep... Was very annoyed with myself over that one. Won't do that again!. I also found the guide camera (Which i use as the main camera to polar align with) was not parallel with the telescope... So i'm working up a fix for that at the moment as well. 3 nights of clear skies predicted at LMDSS this week :)

The company that will be building the telescopes in this clean room is CFF Telescopes which are part of Sidereal Trading in Cambellfield. cfftelescopes.eu/ www.siderealtrading.com.au/

It's all under control :) I'm a qualified building designer with 25 years experience. There will be bracing on the external wall in the form of ply as well as the beams over & sheeting on the beams locking it all together :)

Or... and just hear me out... I could just use a phone because it passes people off when I do 🤣

@@The_Astro_PuNk you do you my man. Btw where is this awesome dark sky site you use? I'm based in Sydney and good dark sky sites here are few and far away

The site i go to is in Victoria. It's owned by the Astronomical Society of Victoria. A very cool site & one i'm lucky to be able to access :)
