What does scanning and tagging a Messier object with a telescope during a Messier Marathon look like via time lapse? Well, here is the video to show you! Here is what a time lapse video of the 14" f/8 ACF with the Meade Series 6000 80mm ED APO on the LX850 mount looks like when scanning the sky. Yep a lot of sky is covered for a Messier Marathon! This video was taken on March 19, 2021 from New ...

Hey Andrew - it's Lex - Love this !- subscribing now :)
Thank you @lexxyred!
Awesome pal
Thank you!
Jupiter
Not sure the point of this……
Thank you for sharing this awesome event with us. I saw it around 3am CST. What a treat to be able to see the eclipse in its entirety.
Thank you for joining us for the entire event! Looking forward to seeing you at future events!
Thanks man I was just out side and salll the end of it and I wanted to sea the rest so I looked it up and you were the only one I found keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you joined the fun! Looking forward to see you at future events!
I can't believe it just doesn't exist any more :(
Which cover is appropriate.
Telegizmos 365 cover is the best
A good demonstration of the Herschel Wedge but a wind filter on your mic would be really helpful in cutting out noise and "kill the background music - it's not necessary". As Jack Webb said in Dragnet "Just the facts ma'am."
Pretty cool....!!
Watching a star like our sun!? Can anyone tell me if this view is possible through an eyepiece?
Seems like solar filters vary. The one I have just makes the sun look yellow with no sun spots showing. Might be too dark or something. This one works well.
Hi! Do you have instagram ?
approx what freq spectrum are they TXing on?
1610 - 1620 MHz We lead the assistance on the licensing for space use. They are fully licensed for non-space use.
WoW. Nice pictures. Thank you for sharing. Un saludo desde España
"slew rate set at 1 deg/s due to the temperature". More details on that statement would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
I can't believe you didn't record my solo.
Cool man great production thank you
Is that a spot you use regularly?
Nice setup and really nice results. Scott
Thank-you!! I enjoy working with the Meade Herschel Wedge!
@@spacetravelerx I have the 2" Lunt wedge and it is a solid performer. Keep producing great videos! Scott
Excellent video. The PST puts up a nice view of the proms. Scott
Impressive accuracy. HPP seems like it works really well. Scott
Wow! Fantastic work! It's amazing to see it's motion. Thanks so much for sharing this 😀
Thank you! It was amazing for me to see too! Also, it was nice the weather cooperated... ;)
Impressive. Can you provide details. I thought that would be millions of years worth of galaxy movement, not Tuesday from 10pm to 4am.
LOL, well normally this process would take 100s of millions of years. I took the original pictures you see here and then used the application Zoetropic on the iPhone/iPad to animate the motion of the galaxies. The video segments were then combined to make this movie.
Hi a great video. I notice you have an Eagle hooked up to a sesto senso motorised focuser. How do you find this works? Is the Eagle worth it?
Hello Galacticus! The Eagle 2 is definitely worth it! I have had it operating outdoors for the last 7 months or so virtually non-stop (I shutdown the Eagle 2 for OTA changes). It is robust and has handled the elements very well. I use it for imaging system control and power management (I will be adding more functions soon). I am still trying to get the Sesto Senso to work with the Meade ED APO; I am experiencing some slippage in the focus - the weight of the camera pulls things out of focus. I can lock the screw for the focuser down, but then I can't focus. I hope to have this figured out in the fall. Stay tuned!
@@spacetravelerx Great video. I have a similar WL setup using the Baader wedge. They all work the same way. The Solar Continuum filter and k-line filters are good options to explore. Your info on easily seeing what the eye sees at the EP is a good one. The SESTO SENSO was something I tried too. It has a direct drive mechanism through the mini/micro 10:1 or 11:1 Reducer on your scope. The slippage that you have is a function of how good (or otherwise) your focuser is. I found my refractor would slip when pointed at the zenith (if not in the Home position) - the scope was replaced. The SESTO SENSO is good for moving up/down the focus range but not for setting up and using "presets". You may have noticed that it requires "calibrating" - that is because the step counts do not match the physical movement of the focuser exactly. The combination of a slipping focuser and this type of design will limit the accuracy you can achieve. Alternative designs e.g. the Pegasus Astro version use an internal gearbox with a 120:1 reduction. The motor can drive the focuser but the weight of the focuser does not have the ability to move the motor. So the gearbox also acts as a giant brake. So the step count does translate exactly to a position on the focuser. One disadvantage is that you can't use the manual focus controls but this is a small price to pay for reliability. There is an electronic equivalent function on the hand controller. A second advantage is it bypasses the 10:1 or 11:1 reduction so it also bypasses any backlash in this part of the system. One thing to be wary of is the amount of reduction that the polarising filters achieve. An ND filter reduces light and IR by about the same amount, but a polarising setup is largely transparent for IR. If you require the polarising filter to act as an extreme ND filter, it may be a good idea to introduce an ND filter to limit how much the polarising filter cuts the light - safety first. Simon
what software do u use to control your lx850 remotely
Will it work for a reflector and can you see convection cells?
Hello James, unfortunately the Herschel Wedge ONLY works with a refractor. Yes, you can see a granular surface on the Sun in White Light. Of course the SolarMax II shows all the surface details on the Sun.
Advice from manufacturers of these is under no circumstances point a reflector at the sun. That's any Newton, Cassegrain etc. Use refractors only and take extreme caution during setting up and remove or cover any lens based finders.
Amazing very good
Hey Andrew, great broadcast and great photos!! Super cloudy in Australia so didn't get a chance to see it, but was great getting to see it on your live broadcast! Is that a meteorite that passes by your infrared camera at 2:56:29- in the top left hand screen of the infrared of your telescope?
Actually if you look closely there are different streaks, some curved (tough to see in the small cam views). I noticed this early on with the NestCam. My guess is it is either a bug, "warmer" dust particle blowing through, and/or artifact from the camera.
Wow! I watched your livestream of the lunar eclipse and it was awesome. Nice work!
Thank-you! I am still working out the tweaks on all this broadcasting stuff. I appreciate the support!
That is an incredible view.
Thank-you! It was emotional being there in person!
Wie verhält sich das bei der LX 850 mit der Laufruhe bei sehr grosser Brennweite? Bei meinem LX200 gab es da Vibrationen , die eine saubere Auflösung verhindert haben. Weiss hier jemand etwas darüber ?
Translated: "How does that affect the smoothness of the LX 850 with a very large focal length? With my LX200 there were vibrations that prevented a clean resolution. Does anyone know anything about this?" I have notice NO vibration problems with my LX850 mount using the 14" f/8 ACF when doing video astronomy and astrophotography, unless of course it is windy out. ;) The LX850 is a very heavy, solid mount. You can easily image in good seeing down to 1".
Thanks for your answer. But I would like to have more resolution down to 0.3". Because I'm interested to see more details p.e. in Rutherford or Vallis Alpes.
Down to 0.3" is incredibly difficult due to the atmosphere. At the high altitude observatories they are lucky to get 0.4". The trick to getting detailed images is using the "Lucky" method for imaging. Of course it really helps having a prime location, such as high altitudes.
Very nice! Well done! The earthshine came through nicely too!
BRAVI!
Congrats Andrew
How much is this telescope
$7,299.00
Thanks, but I am from Iraq how can take or buy this telescope
maybe ebay I'm sure if not ebay ill look for a company that will send it to Iraq if youd like just let me know and ill do some research for you and see what I can do or find for you

Thats a UFO!!!!
Very nice demonstration. Very accurate.
whats your favourite eyepiece then?for this scope.
Paulkazjack, When not using my cameras, I like to scan and start off wide field with my Meade Series 5000 UWA 24mm eye piece. Excellent port hole views of the night sky, and everything is nice, sharp and clear - a joy to look through. Depending on sky conditions, I like to go to my 8.8 UWA for closer views of objects. The Meade UWA Series 5000 are excellent eyepieces, however impossible to get right now, and rare on the used market - folks do not like to give them up! I then play with my Meade HD-60 eyepieces when I have no UWA to go to. These are also very good eyepieces and at a reasonable price - they just have a smaller FOV compared to the UWA (60 deg vs. 82 deg apparent FOV). Hopefully these will all be out of back order soon.
Thanks I like my Hyperion 36mm on my 12"Lx.
2845 mm. The 14" f/8 ACF was used. The field of view is approximately 7.8'.
Do you get such accuracy as a matter of course? I'm not against GOTO scopes but it's so variable - some nights good, some not, that I tend not to bother with it. If it were consistent I'd use it more. And yes I'm careful to polar align via bore scope with some accuracy. I think it has to do with what alignment stars you pick.
I have found with the LX850 I always get this level of accuracy, 1 arc-minute, every night of observing. The only time I nudge the field of view is when trying to frame the picture to my liking. It really makes my life easy!
What was the focal length of the scope?
I just caught this question! The focal length is f/8 or 2845mm
I'm doing that play tonight!!!!
