It was so nice to finally meet you in person! Loved seeing how this video came together with all the excellent visual aids!
It was a total honour Nico! Can’t wait for the next visit 😁 maybe it’s my turn to do the travelling!
Really good to see you on our shores!!! You must do more with @helea'sastrophotography she is the future or Astro
Great to see you back Helena and to see Nico over here. Intrigued to see what's next...
Thank you so much Andy!
Excellent interview! Thank you!
guys this is an amazing video! so well put together and so helpful....everything you talk about (being quite fresh to the hobby myself) are things I struggle at times to remember or understand. thank ya 😊
So glad you enjoyed it Amber and found it helpful! Love ya my lass ❤️
This was awesome! :-D I really enjoyed watching every single second! Can't wait to see what you have planned in the future!

Great speak easy interview, loved it! Look forward to see what your future collabs are 🔭✨️📷👍😁
Thank you so much Dave! 😁 Clear skies as always 🌌
That’s how I got started. I just taught a beginning Astrophotography class to 4H students in our local Astronomy outreach at a local college. We all had a lot of fun then went outside to view the night sky with telescopes. I am with the Tacoma Astronomical Society.
Wow, fantastic video guys. Very informative and especially for anyone starting out you’ve covered all the bases. Very well put together and I’m so glad yous got a lovely dry day in Scotland to film it 😊
Aw thank you Katie! So glad you liked it my girl ❤️
Good job girl and nice interview. Platesolving from a screenshot, excellent!
Thank you so much Guy!
Great to see you guys get together in person!

Nice Nico interview Helena! Very informative. - Cheers
Thank you so much! So glad you found it helpful 🙂
pure wholesomeness ngl
Great interview
Really good questions and information given Helena! Thank you so much for talking about dslr's.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Nice job. You guys make a great team. Thanks for sharing this great information. I’m retired and worked for Zeiss Photo. Every picture NASA took in space or the moon was with a Zeiss lens.
Thank you so much Steven, it was a great time! Wow! That is incredible 😁
The two of you make a great Astro team! Dr B from Manitoba, Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you so much Dr Kotak!
I really enjoyed watching and learning from this video. Thank you both! :-)
This was fantastic, great to see you back.
Thank you so much!
2 of my favorites together, fantastic.
Cheers John! That is so kind of you to say :)
Enjoyed the video. Thanks guys! :)
Mam, i have been seeing your videos from India, I'm a student of M.Sc in physics.
Excellent, always wondered why you never imaged inside your observatory, hope you get it fixed soon
This was very helpful. Thanks a lot!
I’m glad you found it helpful! Thank you for tuning in!
Great video. Nice to see you both in the same video.
2 years ago, I got really interested in taking aurora pictures, but I would have to travel far to do that. Then the pandemic came and I never was able to make the trip.
This year I've been learning about astrophotography and I want to start with what I currently have.... my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Every time I've tried to take pictures, clouds popped up, but tomorrow I'm going to a dark sky location for the first time and it says 0% clouds for 2 days. I'm going to try longer exposure pictures (20 - 30 seconds), but I want to try using 1 second exposure pictures and stack them.
Once I master using my Smartphone, then I want to move to a Telescope setup with tracker, but it's going to be a lot of money.
A smartphone is an excellent way to start and is more than enough to get you hooked! All you need to remember is to put the phone on a tripod and set it to a timer to avoid shake and you are winning :)
Before you buy a telescope look at mounts because a shakyscope isn't helpful. I use an Explore Scientific Twilight AZ manual mount for my 150mm f5 Newtonian. Depending on my magnification I take 1 to 3 second exposures. I mostly just observe, but I'll take pictures sometimes to put up on FB.
Great to see you two together!! 🙏
Thank you so much Simon! Was a blast 🙌
@@HelenasAstrophotography Oh no really good to see you both - I recently bought the ED 120 Super APO which I know you have as well, but I still love taking MW pictures which I am off to Majorca to do soon. My son last year saw the MW for the first time there, we are going to do the same again so watching you and Nico was fantastic ! Best Simon
excellent!! :)
6:55 The EOS 1100D (unmodded) was also my first astro-camera, but unfortunately, I can't get a Bortle 2 sky anywhere in my vicinity. Bortle 5 is standard here. :-(
1100D is a very underrated beginner camera! Bortle 5 is very workable, using solutions such as clip in light pollution filters will help to bring the deep space object out from the city lights.
@@HelenasAstrophotography I do use a UHC clip-on filter when photographing nebulae, but when trying to photograph those ones, which never rise more than, say, 35° over the horizon (the Trifid, for instance), the filter won't longer help you, especially when the light pollution comes from broadband LED units.
Nice. Very interesting talk. Greetings from Germany
Thank you Frank! 🙏
She's back! ... and how did you get Nico over there?
Haha! Nico was on a trip travelling around the country and we arranged to try to meet while he was here ☺️
Genius ^ 2
Thank you Adrian!
Good team!
Very cool that you guys got to meet in Scotland!
Question though: What is the site you're using for the screenshots around 9:32 where it projects a FOV over the night sky to help with composition? I feel like I've seen this tool in Nico's videos before too but haven't had luck with google searches or going through his old vids.
Thank you so much! Ah! I should’ve noted that in the video. The website is called ‘Telescopius’ but there are various other options too. I know Nico uses ‘Black Water Skies’ 🙂
@@HelenasAstrophotography Thanks!
你长得太可爱了
Cool...lucky nice day..
Coolio
It almost took you 6 months to post this video..i thinks you should atleast post 1 video a month for your viewers..
You need to wind your neck in mate. People do have lives outside of UA-cam! Do you post one video a month?
Hi Ribhav, I have had major exams on since January and as a student it's hard to find the time to post! These videos are a lot of work to put together, especially with the editing. It would be different if this was my full time job, however it isn't and I have to prioritise my education.
@@Katieyhughes no reason for you to act like this. And i am not a youtuber. It was a suggestion as i know many astrophotographers who post multiple times a week. So it was just a suggestion. And you better mind your own business as it’s not your channel. So stop poking your nose in everything.
@@HelenasAstrophotography no worries I understand. But usually you were posting videos more often and so i was just wondering as there was no new videos for long.
@@MysteryMan101 I don’t poke my nose in everything 😂
So so amazing guys!! Such an awesome video and I can’t wait to see what you guys do in the future! :)
Thank you Dylan!
