I love the content of your videos, Mark, but love even more when we have commentary from you. Just my 2p's worth :)

Noted - work was getting in the way hence it was easier to add music than voice. Anyway, lots of footage from Floridas winter star party to follow. With voice of course - although my wife thinks it’s strange that someone would actually want to listen to me droning on!

[@craiglowery4427]

Thanks Mark. Personally I believe SharpCap is the new standard

[@RefreshingViews]

It's amazing, Craig. But don't tell Robin Glover as he'll put the price up!!

[@lucesextranas942]

A very inspiring video, as always.

[@RefreshingViews]

Thanks again!

[@curronhill2744]

Well done! Dust clouds in 110 with EAA!

[@RefreshingViews]

Thank you! I was pretty surprised - and get a thrill from resolving stars in NGC 206. Individual stars in another galaxy! How amazing is that?

[@AmatureAstronomer]

Nice work!

[@RefreshingViews]

Thank you! Cheers!

Excelente toma de andromeda

[@RefreshingViews]

Gracias Misael - me parece que es una escena fenomenal (lo espero que sea corecta!)

[@earthling-fh2mg]

Excellent stuff showing it from “all angles” and the detail with the SCT. I’ve taken a shot with a 70ED refractor but will have to try with my 8 inch Meade SCT, perhaps with the 0.63x reducer. Cheers. 👍

Thanks Christophe.

What is the shiny mat covering thing on your OTA and for what reason? I was wondering if that helps with some type of dew or something more special??? And where to buy? Thanks!

[@RefreshingViews]

It’s a reflective metal foil for radiators and household insulation - called reflectix in UK. It stops the tube from over cooling (below ambient) on a clear night as it limits radiation to deep space. This alleviates tube currents and helps reduce dewing.

Incredible detail with just a 10 second exposure. I'd need an hour to get an image that clear. What bortle skies are you in?

[@RefreshingViews]

Thank you for your kind words. I think it is about a 4 - village skies near a town so defo light polluted skies albeit milky way visible overhead. Defo don't miss living in the city with the orange glow everywhere!!
