I have just recently taken up astrophotography as a hobby. The complexity and steep learning curve of most of the acquisition and processing software is fairly intimidating. You did an outstanding job of presenting this useful information in a succinct and logical manner. Thanks!
Hi nice lunar imaging, I have the 9.25inch USA version of your 11inch, the views and imaging excels in lunar and planetry, I'm still amazed at the image I have hanging in the hall of Saturn using old hi res Philips modded web cam and early registax back in the 2000s, I bought the scope and mount from David Hinds in the day, maintained and still in vgc. Regards Tom... (wish those darn clouds would go away😒)...
Realise this is from a few months ago but just came across it. In it you talk about hopping between moon processing software programs (Firecapture, Autostakkert, Registax). If you don't want to have to do that why not try Astrosurface? (which has wavelets too) or if you want an "all in one" then since v4.1 last December Sharpcap now does absolutely everything - it even has Wavelets too (and an even better contrast enhancer too).
Can someone explain to me why there are no satellites around the moon , not a single one except Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter . You cant see it , but you can see a flash of light in certain position, so why is there only one Satellite around the moon Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, that you will never see and you should be able to see , i dont see Earth satellites as well but i see flashes of light , similar would happen with Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter when it crosses the shadow side , reflects the sun light we should see a faint flash of light , not see the satelite , but a flash of light . In predictable and periodic moments . But there is none . Its strange that there is only 1 , just this year or last few years there were more then 10 moon landings , none seen with a telescope of course but the point is , supposedly there were 10 landings at least in last year , and there is only 1 satellite and you cant see even that one . Not even with a huge scope , but i belive this one shown here should be able to see a flash of light , predictable due to known orbit and positions . But you cant . this is something very fishy there But very nice shots indeed . But no rock in the universe falls at 90 degree angle every time , nor does it roll and leave lines across the moon that can be seen . I happen to know what you are looking at and its not what you think , that is how i can debunk it , find me a 90 Degree meteor falling on earth , you shell find none . There was one in Russia recorded very good and it was like a plane whoosh bang , its not like it falls like a ball at 90 degree every single time .
You would not see LRO from earth. At most you'd get a dot if you did long exposure imaging, even if you did try that, LRO is next to a bright big moon, so that moonlight would overtake any of the incredibly dim light coming from that orbiter
Great video Mark. You continue to make the best moon images. Thank you
Glad you like them, Craig!
Amazingly explained and detailed as always Mark - me and Harry loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it - and big shout out to Harry too!

Thank you for your kind words, really appreciated.
Great video Mark, keep up the great work
Fantastic Mark, your knowledge of the moon is unbelievable.
Thank you kindly, Keith.
Super video, thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍
Gran trabajo. Admiro tu tenacidad. Saludos
Gracias por tus pensamientos - saludos a ti también.
Goodness....... a... Clear nights.... Viewing..... Enjoyed the content*

Hi Tom these older Celstrons do seem to punch above their weight don’t they? But yes, we can’t see much with the permanent grey skies.
A great video as usual, you were creative my friend👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent 👌..!.
Thanks a lot 😊 Christophe.

Thanks for that - I’ve yet to use Astro surface. I’ll look it up - particularly as the planets are now returning.
Interesting.
If I use a cooled camera in Firecapture is there a way to control my cameras cooling? If not could I use ASCAP to control cooling?
I’m not too sure, none of my cameras have cooling. Does the manual / guide have cooling control?

You're pointing the telescope the wrong way... the lander is inside a hangar somewhere on Earth
Of course, how silly of me. I’ll try that next time.
