Processing Hubble Planetary Data - Start to Finish -
Переглядів 336Рік тому
Since most of the planets are gone for now Ive been diving into Hubble processing and as people were asking me how to get the data and how to process it id make a quick tutorial about it. Sry about poor mic quality, need to get it fixed asap. One take so you'll see the random issues I face lol but makes it more interesting ig.

Haven't uploaded a vid in a long time cuz I'm always busy lol, anyways C11 is coming soon, and I'm very eager to use it :).

Blue Lake (Ina) seen through a 8" Sct, 2x Barlow, and Planetary cam. Software used: Autostakkert, Registax, GIMP
2 years ago today👍
This was AMAZING. Jupiter and Saturn were magnificient. I'm curious: did you some kind of equatorial platform or you just centered the planets on pipp?
@Tommaso_Dal_Santo Thanks! I didnt use a eq platform but the firecapture software has a "auto region of interest" function that tracks and records the planet. Autostakkert4 also does a great job autocentering the planet in a wobbly video, no pipp needed.
Impressive sir
Excellent detail on neptune, it's not much but for such a distant planet it's impressive (not being bias or anything)
I've come across a few seriously weird things up on the moon with my own eyes friend full on anomalous objects that I nor anyone else I know could explain
Okay but why does it feels so taboo seeing this? Its like you weren't supposed to see this massive colorful balls in a pitch black void
This is incredible! Amazing work! 👍

Do I need to buy a separate astrography camera for planets?
Could you inform me about the specific instruments used? Incredible Results!
I used the Celestron C11 (link: www.celestron.com/products/c11-optical-tube-assembly-cge-dovetail), AVX mount (link: www.celestron.com/products/advanced-vx-mount-and-tripod), Player one Uranus-C (link: player-one-astronomy.com/product/uranus-c-usb3-0-color-camera-imx585/), and 2x xcel barlow + adc.
@@kensastrohkGrateful for your comment, hope for the best of luck with your setup!
It’s looks real
which mount do you have for the C11?
Hey which spot did you go to in HK ?
Pak Tam Chung, but now I do it at home in Kowloon Tong
NO ACTUAL FUCKING WAY I TOUGHT NO TELESCOPE COULD SEE URANUSES MOONS
That's impressive!
Also! What is this beautiful music?
Do you recall what eyepiece/magnification you used here?
best kinda birthday gift i could ever ask for
Stunning images.👏
To be honest the live views were pretty poor considering you have an 11 inch aperture
Damn 😮
C11 and 2x Barlow?
2x barlow + adc as spacer - makes ~3x barlow
Total focal length?
9300mm

ok this is just fucking awesome. thats all i gotta say. anyways im waiting for the sky where i live to not be cloudy as fuck so i can actually use my telescope i got for christmas lol
When I was a kid sixty years ago, the best professional images of Jupiter and Saturn taken with the largest telescopes on Earth showed little more than fuzzy black and white balls. (Saturn was a fuzzy black and white ball with a fuzzy ring.) Now, amateurs produce color images of astounding clarity no one would have thought possible back then. We live in amazing times. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry, how did you get imaging to work on the Skyliner 400p?? That saves £10k on an EdgeHD14! What camera and how did you guide/track please?? ❤
I used a similar Hubble Optics UL16 dob. It has goto function so just align it to Jupiter and it would track it. Then it works just like any other telescope. I used the Uranus-C camera. Yes this is much better and cheaper than a edgehd14 - Ken
Beautiful ❤
You forgot to look at earth through your telescope :)
He’ll get it whun day
Iq -1000
It’s impossible because we live in it
@@PhoenixA1945What level of special are you? He's obviously joking.
True but it's not possible so it's not true
Simply breath taking!
Astonishing quality images !!!
holy, i have never seen someone capture mars's moons, great job!
Hey Ken, I watched it all to bump your numbers a bit 😊 Isn't it funny I find we all do lots of stuff the same but also quite a bit different and still end up with good images. Well done Damo 👌
Are all those image's also possible with the Celestron 14 inch edge hd?
Yeah, should get similar results
@@kensastrohk is the meade 16" LX200 comparable with the c14 edge hd?
Mercury: 0:07 Venus: 0:23 Mars: 0:55 Jupiter: 1:27 Saturn: 2:09 Uranus: 2:53 Neptune: 3:14 The moon (Earth); 3:44 Nice capturing and pin? So people can see. Your capturing impressed me.
OMG ! Professionnnal work ! Wonderful . Thank you Ken !
those look really close and cool you def deserve more subs
Hi, Very nice photos. How many frames did you process or capture, per each of the targets? Thank you, Luis
Jupiter I captured about 8mins worth of video so 8000 frames then stacked 20%. Saturn captured 40k frames stacked 20%. Mars captured 10k frames stacked 10%. Uranus captured 20k frames stacked 40%
This is how I typically see Jupiter.
For Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and almost Mercury, I see the same details with my telescope. I can even see the GRS on Jupiter. And Neptune does look similar in my telescope too, but I can only resolve its disk.
100% fake You didn't didn't even capture Earth
Excellent images that C11 and your equipment looks to produce some great images.
Hi, congratulation for you photos! I have a dobson 16" too. Can I ask you how did you reached 8000+ focal lenght? In the description you said that you used 2x or 3x barlow, but it's not enough to arrive to 8000. What did you use? Thank you! I have a ZWO asi 385 MC and I would like to try that
Hi Riccardo, my dobson 16" has 1800mm base focal length, I used a 3x barlow and added a adc behind it before the camera. The extra distance between the camera and barlow allows the barlow to become a 4.4x barlow. 1800x4.4 = ~8000mm. I think with your 385mc you would want around 10000mm because of your pixel size. Cheers, Ken
@@kensastrohk thank you very much. My dobson is 1800 like yours. How can I calculate the increase in magnification factor in the barlow lens considering the increase of the space beetween the barlow and the camera? Is there a formula for that? Thanks
Amazing work!! The seeing is so perfect, you must be lucky! I'm looking for a new telescope to buy, because my celestron nexstar 130slt broke and I'm gonna return it. I want a telescope for astrophotography, with high magnification for planets, but also with possible lower magnification for capturing deep space objects. I want a computerised mount, like celestron nexstar 6/8 se. But even if it's not computerised, at least with tracking..
Stunning. The detail on Mrecury,, Venus, and Ganymede surprised me.
That's amazing! Really sharp. Looks like you had a great night. Thanks for sharing this video.
