Creating a Photobook of your Astro Images

Hi, I’m Ian and I live in Surrey in the UK.
This is a short video to show how I created a photobook of some of my 2021 Astrophotography images.
I show briefly how I did this and some of the things to watch out for and then I flick through the pages of the final printed version.
The actual version does look better than as it does in this video.

Hi, I’m Ian and I live in Surrey in the UK. This is the fourth in a series of videos I’m doing over spring, shooting the Pillars of Creation within the Eagle Nebula, M16. In the first video I showed my set up and how I used Deep Sky Stacker to stack the images and at the end of the video showed the final stacked image with just 7 sub-frames and in the second video I showed how to stack multiple...

First use of an Electronic Filter Wheel

Переглядів 8 тис.2 роки тому

Hi, I’m Ian and I live in Surrey in the UK. This video shows me using my new ZWO Electronic Filter Wheel for the first time. I test it out with three filters and no filter. In combination with the Electronic Automatic Focuser it works really well to move to different filters and get the camera in focus for imaging. This will really help doing multiple targets with different filter requirements ...

Hi, I’m Ian and I live in Surrey in the UK. In this video I shoot M16 the Eagle Nebula, but concentrate really on the Pillars of Creation within it. I plan to take a series of these images over the coming weeks as the nebula rises earlier and earlier in the night and see how the final image improves with the more data I get on this target. It currently rises above a shed in my back garden at ar...

This is just a short video to show a full image of the Moon that I recently took with my ASIair Pro. I did a video are few weeks ago and some have asked to see the full image of the Moon, so as part of my 60 seconds of calm, here is this one of the Moon

Hi, I’m Ian and I live in Surrey in the UK. In this video I explain how I attached and calibrated the ZWO Electronic Automatic Focuser on to my Sky-Watcher Esprit 120ED telescope and then how I used it to image M33, the Triangulum galaxy. I’d not been sure whether to buy an electronic focuser as I’ve done really well with just a Bahtinov mask until now, but I thought the benefit of re-focusing ...

Hi, I’m Ian and I live in Surrey in the UK. So, galaxy season has started and I’m already chasing some of the best-known targets. In this video I show how I process M33 - the Triangulum galaxy in Pixinsight. Whilst this is a large galaxy it has certain complexities in processing to bring out the colours and some of the Nebula that are in the galaxy. One of the elements I used was a mask techniq...

Hi, I’m Ian and I live in Surrey in the UK. In this video I explain how to use the video mode in the ASIair Pro to capture planets or the Moon for example. In this case I took some images of the Moon. It very easy to do and I think it produced a fairly good image, even though I wasn’t using a dedicated planetary camera. I also show how to stack the images within the ASIair Pro. The final image ...

Hi, I’m Ian and I live in Surrey in the UK. This is a quick video showing some images of the James Webb Space Telescope. I suspect there will be lots of these videos as this is very popular at present amongst the Astrophotography community. Given that this is a very rare opportunity to take an image of a man-made object hundreds of thousands of kilometers from Earth it is not surprising the num...

Hi, I’m Ian and I live in Surrey in the UK. You may have seen I recently acquired a Sky-Watcher Esprit 120ED telescope and managed to take some initial images with this and my ASI294MC Pro. In this short video I wanted to show how impressed I am with this telescope and in particular in getting round stars right out to the edge of the field of view/sensor. I am using the related Sky-Watcher corr...

Hi, I’m Ian and I live in Surrey in the UK. After 3 months of waiting my Sky-Watcher Esprit 120ED it finally arrived in early December. Even better it was a clear evening for a couple of hours that night so I managed to get some first images done and again on the 6th and 10th of December. I am extremely impressed with this telescope. I promised to do a more detailed video on how I set-up my fir...

Hi, I’m Ian and I live in Surrey in the UK. You may have seen a couple of my previous videos (“Orion and Horsehead Nebulas Wide-screen Mosaic - Part 1: Planning and Accuracy” and “Important to know with the ASIAIR Pro”) where I highlighted some inaccuracies when the ZWO ASIAIR Pro plate-solves to targets. I know a number of other UA-camrs have also highlighted these issues such as Cuiv, The Laz...
