    You just got 501th Like, and 441th Subscriber 😊 Very nice and informative video. I came across your video just because I am looking for a nice planetary camera. Well, I already possess ASI224MC, ASI533MM, Touptek's ATR2600M cameras for my 3 different rigs. Now, I am looking for a NEW planetary camera to go with my 8" f/3.8 ES Newtonian reflector. I have 2 options (on the basis of Barlow calculations). Either I can go with new IMX533 color (Saturn-C SQR - 3.76µ pixel) and 5x Barlow, or IMX676 color (2µ pixel) and 2.5x Barlow. Here, I am confused! Somewhere I read that 5x Barlow on 8" diameter reflector will produce too faint image to find and focus on planet! What's your suggestion/opinion? Thanks.

    • @spacetechtips
      @spacetechtips 23 дні тому

      @pinakoza thank you so much! Personally I'd so with the IMX678 WITH THE 2.5x barlow, since its typically a better value. Snce you already the ASI533MM it seems like a shame to get the Saturn M. It does have 45 frames per second but you pay for it and the 678mc can do 47.5 frames per second for less.

    Some things to consider. If you have a lighter mount covered, and the wind picks up, you could be in trouble. I’ve been to countless star parties over 35 years. Scopes blow over. And that always is expensive! My setup consists of a Losmandy heavy duty tripod, which is 3 aluminum legs and the head. Say 10 pounds each. The mount head is 35 pounds. I have 33 pounds of counterweights, a c9.25, Optec rotator, focuser, and focal reducer. Camera is a QHY 268m with color filter wheel. It won’t blow over. It’s survived 60 mph winds at Cherry Springs in Pennsylvania. I don’t travel light.😊

  • @starpartyguy5605
    @starpartyguy5605 5 місяців тому

    In the $4000 range, the Losmandy G11 G at $3899 holds 60 pounds for astrophotography and 75 pounds visual. The Gm8-g, its little brother, holds 40 pounds and is around $2800. I’ve owned my G11 for 23 years. I bought it for $2800. Upgraded both worms and the computer over the years. Made in USA. All gears, no belts. And support is a phone call away. Sub arc second tracking, easy to maintain. And goto is dead on, especially if using Nina.

      No, those are final images, likely stacked with 100s -1000s of frames and then post processed. People don't tend to post raw frames as they don't look that great and the goal is not to get 1 goof frame in lucky imaging. Even the lunar images contains many subs.

    I would clarify the non-counterweight versions for the harmonic ZWO mounts: AM3 + tripod = 6.2 kg (13.7 lb), and (mark 2) AM5 + tripod =7.8 kg (17.2 lb). I agree with your conclusion, the ZWO's are expensive, but exceptionally lightweight for their capabilities. The ZWO mounts (I recently acquired the AM5) does take some getting use to vs. conventional GEM mounts; you can't move/slew them by hand since they have no conventional clutch, and they really need the ASI-Air system (and hardware to plate solve) to get the best out of them, otherwise they are rather dumb/blind out of the box.

    Is less weight always better? Maybe ... Maybe not. Does the extra weight *increase* tracking accuracy? If yes, then the extra weight is worth it! Your chart just shows weight vs cost = meaningless. Payload vs cost is good measurement. Tracking Accuracy is most important for astrophotography. Also, ease of polar alignment. How about 3 Star Plate Solve alignment. This could have neen 3 videos - beginner, semi-pro and observatory grade. Contrary to your description of the video ... At the end if this video, nobody has a clue which mount is right for them. You did not discuss any real features, just payload, weight & price.

    • @spacetechtips
      @spacetechtips 8 місяців тому

      A lot of this is my opinion at the making of the video. Unfortunately, which is the right mount, I'd say, all depends on the individual and their priorities. Tracking accuracy is the most important feature for the picture itself, but if you are constantly moving, your setup weight is no small considering and might dissuade someone from shooting at all. If I make it again I'll probably break it down further based on priorities like weight, cost, or payload. It is surprisingly complex.

  • @h.n.4060
    @h.n.4060 9 місяців тому

    Something I'd really like to see more of is a comparison of mount accuracy especially at the lower end of price with longer focal length scopes. It's one thing to hold a weight, it's another to do so with finesse and precision. No one really goes into how well these mounts handle longer focal length scopes, like with SCTs and Maks that are often over 1000mm. You see a lot of people going back and forth on various forums, ZWO for example suggests a limit around 900mm for the AM5, leading some to totally discount it from handing something like an 8in SCT without a reducer or hyperstar, and then you see others saying it handles it just fine, and no one seems to agree or trust each other on this. No one has really sat down and documented a proper side-by-side between a bunch of different mounts... which admittedly would be both really hard and potentially very expensive.

    • @spacetechtips
      @spacetechtips 11 місяців тому

    I am very new to this area and just trying to get my head around all of the tech needed and figuring out what I need and can afford to get. Cuiv, the lazy geek had a video about a Touptek planetary camera with the IMX662 colour sensor. He found it worked very well as an off axis guider for his telescope, outperforming his 290 and a guide scope. But he hadn't tested the 662 with a guide scope. Do you think the 662 or any other similarly performing colour sensor could be used with a guide scope? I'm starting off with a mirrorless main camera, so won't be using an OAG. Thanks.

    • @spacetechtips
      @spacetechtips Рік тому

      I think the 662 could work as a guide scope, although your results could be mixed since it has the RGGB filters over the pixels. Star intensity might vary depending on where it is. Mono sensors like the asi174mm or asi120mm don't have that issue. The 662 is certainly better than nothing! Thank you for your thoughts!

    Unless there's a major community outcry I don't think they're going to be implementing a pricing system like with money. My guess is that'll only come into play when making stuff in colonies using resources, so from Kerbin you get unlimited resources but from other places you get it from setting up infrastructure. Though that is just my impression and a bit of wishful thinking.
