The Solar System with a 6" - 8" Newtonian telescope
Переглядів 182 тис.5 років тому
The Sun & Mercury, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune shot with an Orion XT8 optical tube assembly on an Advanced VX equatorial mount. Venus and Mars shot with an Orion XT8 Dobsonian mounted. Jupiter shot with a C6-N optical tube on an Advanced VX mount. Barlows used are a Highpoint Scientific 5x APO, Orion Trimag 3x and a Baader Q-Turret 2.25x. All planetary videos are stabilized in PIPP for centering...
The saturn final image looks crazy, littearry like hubble but like in a mini version!!!
Crazy how all the craters on the moon line up perfectly with the stars in the sky. Almost like stars are sono-luminescent balls of light suspended in salt water.
Neptune can't be blue. Neptune is the color of Uranus, a light cyan. Saturn is gorgeous.
Great presentation!
Sehr schöne Bilder.
Song name?
I find it fascinating how Saturn and its rings have stayed so beautifully intact for billions of years when it is just made of gas and dust. What if one day it suddenly went poof?
Very nice for a small, amateur telescope! Well done! 😊
4:05 "good seeing conditions?! When I see Saturn wobbling like this, I pack up my things and go to bed...🤥
I think he means good seing condition as in the weather. You can't really escape atmospheric wobble unless you go to specific "astrophotography havens" (locations) like the Canary Islands.
if jupiter was that clean on your scope, im doing something gravely wrong 😂
Very nice 👍☺️
Great work.....
Through a 6 inch or 8 inch...thats the one fruitloop absolutely mad arnt you
This is beautiful, I can't wait to get a telescope like that, I always wanted to see Saturn and Neptune for myself
whoa. good job man.
Well done, it’s quite achievement to capture the planets so well with a relatively small reflector.
Muhteşem 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Missed Pluto.
Preciosas tomas d los planetas
Telescope??
What's the focal length, and ratio?
Very interesting mix of photographic images obtained for the sun and the planets of our solar system. Congratulations for the instruments and accessories used. I have a 200mm telescope with a focal length of 1000mm and I recently purchased two eyepieces, I think they are top notch: a 10mm APM ULTRA FLAT, and a 3.2mm ARTESKY SUPER ED. I also managed to make observations of the Moon and planets, but for filming I only managed to film the Moon with my Huawei smartphone. What do you recommend I use as accessories and filming tools, for planets through my telescope, a NEWTONIAN TS PHOTON on the CG-3 equatorial mount? Thank you in advance for your answer and I wish you much success in exploring the sky!
how do you get such a great view of saturn?i got 8" dobsonian and he looks much worse than yours
and how is your view not shaking?
Check your collimation
if that´s all I´ll be able to see, I´d rather watch this vid a few times, and ... good night.
exactly
that is so high quality oh my god
You have an 8" scope and put a 5x Barlow on a 9.7 eyepiece, no wonder Venus and Mars are so dim and fuzzy. That 5x Barlow is dimming your video. Save the high power Barlow for the outer planets.
Great shot!
I love the raw video's of the planet's
Can you say what zoom did you use on each planet???
Your post processing work is amazing! Bravó!
Through a 8in Newtonian...you should be on jackanory
What a nice view a out the ringed planet
Man, bro. THIS is why I look at youtube ! THIS is why I come ! This is better than EVERY sponsored content creators shit. This is better than the shit and lies nasa drops. THIS is inspiring ! Very grateful for your time and honesty ! Ty.
Oh look, a "truth seeker" claiming nasa lies for no reason. Sorry, nasa's photos of planets and deep space objects are real and everyone can take photos of them.
Thank you. This is a very good video. Keep it up!!!
How different do you think the images would be using an 8” SCT that’s F10 compared to the F5 you used? Like everyone has said, your pics are absolutely stunning. I’m just curious about what the difference would be or if you could even tell.
Yours will be outstanding the f5 is just "faster" to get the light. You are about to fall in love. Expect this though ... dont expect the nasa lies.
@@kevingumfory "nasa lies"🤣
Takes incredible skill just finding these targets, very impressive images.
The Venus stacked image is amazing. It shows what an 8" might be capable of, looking toward the sun. Imaging using a 5x Barlow might be a challenge for a crisp view, but why not try? We're amateur astronomers after all. I was amazed at Jupiter with bands or Saturn rings just with a 4.5" on an EQ mount, and it had me hooked. I just bought an 8" Dobsonian, and will be picking it up on Monday. I can't wait..........
And how is it?
@@eMBO_Gaming, it does not disappoint!! I'm ordering a couple of super wide angle eyepieces and a couple of filters for better nebula viewing. It's bitter cold up here in the Rockies at night, so I haven't taken it out in a couple of weeks since we had some unusually mild evenings. The nice nights are filled with clouds, then temps plummet again. In the meantime, I keep studying star atlases, books, forums, and videos. Lots to learn!!
@@petset77 That's great to hear. I wanted to ask that, because I wanted to buy an 8" dob for myself. Now when I bought it, I have similar experience.
@@eMBO_Gaming, we had a nice couple of evenings this past week, and I brought it out to view some of the winter favorite DSOs, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, and dim Saturn. In the meantime, I had bought a used little Celestron FirstScope for breaks in cloudy nights and dashing out. I wanted to experiment with the little 76mm scope, and have the XT8 out as well, for "better" viewing. With better than supplied eyepieces, the little scope will do what I want it to as a small, portable unit, and I actually used the 8" as a spotter scope most of the viewings!! (using the red dot on the 8 to start of course). ...I got the XT8 on craigslist, used once and still in it's original box, for $325. Keep an eye out for used scopes if you get the chance. Just take a look at your choice before exchanging funds. Clear skies!!
I will devinitivly get one even if it's just for Saturn and jupiter
I'm Antonio from Italy, fantastic video, congratulations. I have the telescope "Skywatcher heritage 130/650" with parabolic mirror high quality, from AMAZON for 188 Euros (price). Jupiter and Saturn sharp images.
Oh.. ciao! Sono anche io italiano! Spero che domani riuscirò a guardare bene Urano e Nettuno col mio telescopio 90mm Celestron.
@@dimensio_italian_magician Sono Antonio, il tuo canale e' con scritte in inglese e quindi ho scritto in inglese. Quel telescopio da 90mm che focale ha ? E' acromatico ? In questi giorni ci sono vari pianeti ben visibili tra cui Marte, Giove e Saturno, osserva anche quelli e fammi sapere i dettagli visibili e usa vari oculari e fammi sapere in dettaglio se e' possibile grazie. Sul pianeta Saturno sono molto curioso in quanto io con il mio telescopio newtoniano con specchio parabolico 130/650 credo di vedere nella zona equatoriale una fascia chiara ben visibile a 180X con il mio oculare "Super 3,8 mm". Quella fascia chiara la vedi con il tuo rifrattore da 90mm ? Fammi sapere delle tue osservazioni planetarie grazie.
@@eterenostalgia5088 buonasera. Col mio telescopio ho visto un po' di cose. Giove, Saturno, Sole, Luna, Galassia di Andromeda, Nebulosa di orione, Marte, le lune galileane e qualche stella doppia o lampeggiante colorata. Riesco a vedere le fasce su Giove e la grande macchia rossa. Su Saturno vedo bene gli anelli, il satellite Titano e forse ogni tanto anche una fascia. Urano e Nettuno si vedono come scuri puntini Azzurro/Blu ma sono riuscito a fotografarli nonostante la poca luminosità dei pianeti. Sul mio canale puoi vedere le mie foto astronomiche. :) Buona notte
@@dimensio_italian_magician Grazie per la risposta, ma di Giove quante bande vedi ? E le due principale riesci a vedere che quella in basso e' piu' spessa ? E riesci a vedere l' ombra dei satelliti e se si, appaiono come capocchie di spillo o sono dei tondini abbastanza grandi ? E la fascia di Saturno che ogni tanto vedi e' chiara ? E il Tuo telescopio da 90mm che modello e' ? E la nebulosa di Orione quali dettagli hai osservato e quanti ingrandimenti hai usato, a 100X la nebulosa appare troppo scura o la fluorescenza rimane visibile ? Sono curioso di confrontare le mie osservazioni che sto' facendo da circa un anno che uso il mio telescopio "Skywatcher heritage 130/650" con specchio parabolico comprato su AMAZON per 188 euro e spese di spedizioni gratuite. Fammi sapre grazie.
@@eterenostalgia5088 ho il telescopio 90mm Celestron AstroMaster, ma quello è in prestito. Quello mio è uno Skywatcher 60mm... Ma è sempre buono! Dopo cercherò di rispondere alle domande
Spectacular!
Thank you!
@@leemyersastronomy1867have you ever tried photographing pluto?
What was that blink during uranus ? A burst of light came out of nowhere
aliens and reptile pll
encore encore encore du vrai de vrai reel
Newtonians are the Best type of telescopes!
What eye piece did you get up closer to see the planets...
Thank you.
And mercury
Wow yes newton
for those wondering why its so blurry and dim, he's using a 5x barlow. usually you'll find a 2x barlow.
lol I was wondering why he was using a 5x barlow on all the shots as well. Higher isn't always better
@@toadkillerdog6009 true but very surprised the detail of the Jupiter shot.
Sir is that software for image stacking AUTOSTAKKER 3 has free access for us ? Can we use that software for free or it's paid ?
PIPP, Autostakkert and Registax 6 are completely free to use
Did you use go to mount ?
