Thanks very much for your constructive feedback and the tip with color saturation. Will keep this in mind ....and since this video one year has past and I got better. :)

Thanks a lot! :) Yes, could be that your camera will change what you can see and the field of view.

@@tullyfisher I have a full frame A7r3 and APS-C one a 6000

Hi, since I'm not familiar with this CC I can't help you unfortunately. I recommend to ask the service team are your bought this CC. I'm sure they can help you. clear skies

Thats great. Thanks so much for you feedback. :)

Hmm... Did you install first BX or StarNet2? And did you also update Pixinsight? What exactly is happening, so you can open StarNet2 or is it not opening at all?

Really happy about your comment. Thanks so much! I'll do more of those videos in the future.. :) Clear skies

Sorry to hear that. Yes, maybe you are right and it's something with Windows 11 (I am working with Win 10) and/or your specific system. Unfortunately I can't tell what's the problem exactly and how to solve this issue in your specific case. (The tensorflow.dll has nothing to do with StarNet installation. StarNet installation and usage would also work with that one. It's related to BlurXTerminator.) Best regards

@@tullyfisher I have traced the cause of the problem to the processor in the computer. It is an Intel Celeron J4125, which does not support AVX instructions, and so Starnet won't work on it. If anyone else has similar problems it would be worth checking to see if their processor has the same issue.

@@stevehowell5410 Super interesting. That's in fact nothing I thought about with regard to this problem. Thanks a lot for the feedback!

Thank you! 😀

Hi. It's really hard for me to tell from here. I actually didn't hear about any issues when following this process. Just some things to (double) check: Did you copy in the Pixinsight (PI) "bin" folder? Did you really download the version of StarNet for "PI versions 1.8.9-2 and higher"? I also have to say I did this (as shown in the video) with PI version 1.8.9.2. (not 1.8.9.3) and never tried with the latest PI version since I didn't update PI. Maybe there is a newer version of StarNet on the StarNet website (?). Maybe the team at StarNet also has to update first which may take some time (which was the case in the previous version)...although they mentioned this current version is for "PI versions 1.8.9-2 and higher:". Best regards

Hi there again. I just updated Pixinsight (v.1.8.9.3) myself and did the StarNet 2 update. Everything worked. I also did a new video (actually because of your issues) showing how to update step by step. Hope you like it. The video link: ua-cam.com/video/zHTnWy2eNIY/v-deo.html Clear skies

Great! Thanks for the kind comment. cs

Hello It's a Baader Planetarium Q-Barlow lens 2,25x / 1,3x. I've got it from astroshop.de - Hope that helps. Thanks for watching & clear skies

Yes, it is. :) But: If your main targets are deep sky objects I would rather recommend to buy a reflector telescope or a apochromat refractor.

@@tullyfisher thank you very much, i think ill go with 130 mm slt

@@melihbayleon749 Really nice! You'll have much fun with that one I think. Clear skies.

Thanks for your valuable comment. Maybe I will do some video like this in he future. So far there are really many great videos on how to work with N.I.N.A. on YoutTube. :) Clear skies

Hi there! I'm so sorry for my late response (just found your comment today). Cool that you also tracked a single Starlink satellite. Seems that you are more into that. I didn't so any more research about that one. Interesting it was launched in 2020. Unfortunately I never saw a complete Starlink train so far. Thanks for watching and commenting! Clear skies

Thanks for you kind comment. Great that it worked/ helped. :)

Thanks so much for you kind comment. I#m so happy that my video(s) has been useful for you. Thanks also especially for subscribing. 👍🏼 Yeah, masking is really difficult sometimes and needs some time..but it's also really helpful and personally I think it's good to invest some time sometimes. I'm planning to do more PI tutorials in the future. Hope you will like them as well. 😊 Clear skies and thanks again!

Glad you enjoyed it. 👍🏼 Thank you so much! :) clear skies

What do you mean with "not as active as skywatcher heq5 mount"? The one from the Maksutov is azimutal mount and the heq5 is an equatorial mount.

Thanks so much Simon! ☺

Thanks so much! I hope to get everything done for the video within next week..but I still want to capture another ISS flyby..to get even better results. ISS fever.. ;)

Thanks so much Simon :)

Hi. Thanks so much! Yes, you just have to do the 2/3-star alignment and then you select a target and press "go to". If your target object is not right in the middle you can use your hand controler and "re-align" the target in the middel. I explained that in one of my Maksutov videos. :) Hope that helps. Clear skies

Hi. Thanks for watching and your comment/ question. Yes overall I'm still really happy with the scope I have to say. I'm using my ZWO Asi 2600 MC Pro camera with it. The overall image quality is very good. But I also have to say that the optical quality of the 0,8x flattener/reducer I bought from TS optics is "improvable" - really some star trails in the corners clearly recognizable when using this camera. I can't say anything about the long-term quality of the zoom wheel because I'm using a motorized (ZWO) focuser -> Working very well. Overall I'm really happy with that one but I would really not exclude that there are now better (/cheaper) options for your money with regard to optical quality, especially since the price increase here from 1.300 to 1.550 Euros (also little increase before the whole economic crises, inflation etc.) Recently I thought about getting the SVBony SV503 102mm refractor scope. I don't thing it is optically "better" than the TS APO but seems to be a really interesting a good scope with people on a tight budget. Hope that helps. :) Clear skies

Thanks a lot for that detailed answer. I am considering also Omegon (Produced by sharp star/Askar) the 94EDPH. It's also a bit older but I have no idea, which matches the CF90 or 94 EDPH nowadays?

This scope is really a very good choice for beginners. I highly recommend it. It's easy to use, quite affordable, mobile and you can connect a DSLR or a astro-camera...and it's also very nice for visual astronomy. And you also don't need to buy an expensive mount. I never tried to image M104 with that scope so it would be pure speculation. What I can say is that this scope is really made for relatively bright objects like planets, the moon and bight nebulae like the Orion nebula or even M31 the Andromeda galaxy. You can also image fainter objects but then you'll most probably need very long exposure times and a more sensitive dedicated astro camera. It is possible to image other objects as well and I also made several videos on that topic ua-cam.com/play/PLQqF3ZT-ZThXbXpXgbY8s0hyXqAiJyXI3.html but I would not recommend it for that especially when you are a beginner since you might be disappointed. If you are only or especially interested in galaxies (also less-bright ones) I would buy a scope with a smaller f-ration (this one is 1500mm/127 = 11,8 which is very slow that means it need MUCH longer to image dimmer objects) - For dimmer objects I would rather search for a cope with a f-ration of at least 5 I would say..or at least 6. You should also take into account that this scope has a very high focal length of 1500mm. Not suitable for some objects - but great for planetary imaging. You can use Stellarium (free program) to simulate the size of an object in your field of view. - Hope that helps! Best regards & clear skies

@@tullyfisher thank you so much, yes I do not expect amazing results but I saw some decent images people took. I saw a video that came out a few days ago, a man was able to capture an okay amateur photo of m104 with this setup and just a dslr. I'll definitely think about it yes, I'm also thinking about getting a newtonian reflector OTA, and a motorized eq mount. But that seems kind of expensive.. anyways thank you, and yes stellarium is great I've used it

​@@rd_0939 No problem. Yes, you can do that. I also saw people getting good results but I think it's also good or even necessary to have the right perspective and/or expectation...which you have from what I read. 👍🏼 Reflector is also really nice for beginners because you can gather a lot of light in a short time for a relatively low price (speaking about the OTA) but it also needs more handling (collimation - alignment of the mirrors). And you said it already: Really quite expensive buying a mount. Not sure I would start with an OTA & mount as a beginner. (although it's most probably much better for imaging galaxies.) - It really depends on what you want to image with the scope. In my opinion there isn't really an "universal scope". - For planets I would definitely go for the Celestron Maksutov. - I would be really interested in what you decided in the end. I also did extensive research on that.. ;)

Hi. I explained it using my Canon EOS M50 camera in this video. ua-cam.com/video/MbJmoCMQJi4/v-deo.html Hope that helps 😊

Awesome. Thank you! 👍🏼

Gute Frage...

Thank you!

Thanks so much!

Your comment made my day. Thanks so much for your kind words. THIS is exactly why I'm doing videos - this means a lot to me. So great that you're happy with your results after your first steps in Pixinsight. 👍🏼 If your are interested how to get those star catalogues (for image solving 17:51) please also watch my first Pixinisght tutorial. (If you have narrowband data or will have in the future: I will release a new video this Saturday (part 2) in which I will show the principle on how to add Ha and OIII data to your already processed image.) - Thanks again & clear skies. :)

😅 да это верно. 😁 Спасибо за просмотр и всего наилучшего

👍🏼

I've never said in the video it's exactly the same thing. What I did is talking about what the optical pieces are doing in general (optically!). It's on purpose not talking about details since it's for beginners. - Thats's right, Barlows increase the eye relief, a focal extender will increase the focal length as well. It's a more complex optical system. Focal extenders usually have an additional glass element.

Sure.

@@tullyfisher I'm more than sure!) Photoshop allows you to work even with the infrared range, the only limitation is the digital limitation raw a file from which it is possible to extract only what is recorded; other nuances will appear when you delete the parameters of the scanning sensors and, accordingly, the parameters raw bit depth and frequency range and resolution

I can not really comment on that since I never worked with Photoshop for astro image processing. I'm really happy with Pixinsight. There are great plug-ins, it's a dedicated astro program and I only have to pay once for the software. If you are happy that great 👍🏻. cs

Awesome Simon. Thanks very much mate. 😃 CS

Thank you. cs

Thank you! Bortle 8-9 (center of a big city - 16:09) 😉 Clear skies & thanks for watching! Soon I will release an image re-processing video for Pixinsight...maybe you are interested... ;)

Awesome! 👍🏻 Thanks for watching
