Wow, I got emotional! There’s no better feeling that sharing your telescope with others. Great video!
Those timelapses were epic! What a scope. Such a shame Skywatcher discontinued these.
The music you hear wasn't added to the video. A 20" telescope is so epic that the sky will actually burst into symphony when enough people gather to use it. 🤩
I was nervous watching all the people at the eyepiece with that beautiful 20" mirror exposed. I put a nylon shroud around my scope to keep out extraneous light and anything anyone might drop.
I agree. I think it's plain madness not fitting the shroud around the Telescope because it has a very large fragile extremely expensive primary mirror and you need to protect it from dust, moisture ( as much as is practically possible ) and obviously foreign objects falling onto it!?
It's really seldom that I like a video, but here sound and picture are just perfectly in tune. Awesome telescope, had mine for a year now. The skies are just amazing seen with a binoviewer.
Nothing on this planet can match the night sky for awesomeness.....
Aah the telescope!!! Aah the sky!!! Aah the photography!!! Aah the killing music!!! I can't stop watching on and on!!! It really took me to heavens!!! So when everything is excellent there definitely comes a complaint - Why this is not infinitely long? Please keep posting more and more like this...
Watch this with the Benny Hill music then...that should kill the moment for you! Lol
@Nikul Suthar www.skywatcher-india.com
This music is very inspirational, at least you can turn the sound down.......Simples.......
Awesome time-lapse.
Lovely video. You have well shown how to assemble the 20” telescope. Liked and subscribed.
Just WOW!!. Oh for a 20 inch telescope.
Absolutely amazing
Amazing time-lapse!! 4:16
I thought my 16" was pretty big. :) Really cool to see from 4:16 . Big thumbs UP!
I have a 5" :(
That 20" is a dream for me. I'm determined to get it.
Amazing video..P.s. the biggest telescope in Iceland is an 18 inch reflector....
Judging by the number of people watching the telescope paid off overnight.
More to the point., Oh for a sky like that !! Sadly I am in Wales not New South Wales.
Great video love it 🙂 ,, Skywatcher should just spend some time correcting the issues with these scopes and bring them back on the market eh ,,, no excuse for a awesome company like skywatcher not to do this ,, so please get the issues fixed so we can buy the stargate 20 ,, and feel free to make a stargate 25 please
Do they have a few problems at the moment?
I. A. M. I. N. L. O. V. E !
Nice video, thanks for sharing. Particularly liked the reflections of the stars on the primary. Bit of a faff setting up though?
20inches under australia sky?? awesome
Show us some ground level closeups of the moon with camera zoom + software digital zoom please!!!
I now know why open truss dob owners place them on large tarps. So no one walking up kicks dirt on to the mirror.
Awesome video! Thanks.
Excellent video! Lot of work but worth every second! :D
Beautiful scope! My only addition would be a shroud over the truss tubes to prevent people from sneezing or dropping their gum on the primary mirror. But then it would not be quite as sexy.
They do make matching shrouds, at least, but I don’t know if it comes with in the 8 grand purchase price.
@@JasperJanssen The shrouds are included with the telescope
Beautiful telescope..
Thanks for the video. Wouldn't have gotten my StarGate assembled without it.
I am just finding out about this? Very cool post! I have a Meade Lightbridge 16 that I am happy with so far, this scope appears to be much superior. I have to check these out! Trade up!
Can you use this while tracking for astrophotography is the tracking precise enough
Bellissimo video, mi sono venuti i brividi, poi la musica...
Why has this been discontinued? Surly they weren’t running out of customers?
I always like these quick set up telescopes 🤔
Then ther is the collimation process.. The most important before any seeing..
excellent video. subbed
What song...When I heard the song I thought it is frome someone form my home country,...who else could make so good song that I like it....And YES. :)
Seeing the universe with the naked eyes is amazing off course...But I wonder if we need 30 meter Magellan telescope to see the real difference without good camera gear...
5 years ago )) This is old technology already
This video almost made me cry
It was the music, its best to switch the music off , as it disturbs the logical part of your mind .
This is all well and good but you really need a dedicated Observatory for this size of scope. Setting up in the daylight is long enough, it's the teardown at 5am when you are completely knackered that really gets forgotten about. Oh and the uncomfortable stepladder for viewing.
This video is so freakin fantastic....
Holy cow, does this thing come with a house!?, Beautiful Scope and piece of machinery, though!
Is a "light bucket" or long focal length needed to view anomalies on the moon?
Sky Hoon! $8k US - actually thought it would be more expensive than that. I'd build a beautiful little house for it. I think they call those "observatories." Is there any astrophotography posted from this puppy? Love it, mate.
Not really, for astrophotography you need an equatorial mount and a much rigid tube.
No, you don't need an equatorial mount for that . Remember, The world's largest astronomical telescopes no longer use it.
@@testaraustralia
All nighter and what a sky wow :-O
How well are you able to see Uranus and Neptune through there?
Yup
Barely, need a bigger telescope.
That was spectacular
Fantastic video
Не телескоп! Мечта!
Самый жирный из скай вотчеров
О бог ты мой!!!! Это же сколько всего нужно кроме финансов для такого монстрища!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice video, thanks for sharing.. Strikes me that critical collimation must be very difficult to achieve? I suppose the long focal length helps..
very nice
I'm always a nervous wreck watching the masses invited in to look through a truss dob. That exposed mirror creeps me out and the first thing I'd do with that scope if give my wife the dimensions and flat black cloth with velcro to sew up a protective shroud. Beats doing life for murdering a kid that dropped that ... on the mirror. I was at an outdoor star party just like that when my friend took the podium to give a presentation, I looked over at his 24 inch truss and kids were hanging off of it like it was a set of monkey bars. Took a lot of self regulation to not lay a beating on them or their parents.
That wide open mirror is scary...needs a shroud ASAP.
Which would be more valuable a giant dob or a smaller stable equatorial imaging mount....The eternal question...How big, big has to be in order to beat the best imagind cameras...?
Jaws dropped.. Goose bumps.. Where can I find pictures taken with it?
Is it parrallactic mount and EQ or alt-az. Goto like Skywatcher Goto
Awsome video!! Should be nice you to make a new one with the sky views from the telescope.
My biggest telescope is a 12 inch reflector.. I plan to upgrate to a bigger dobsonian or german equatorial as soon as possible...
That is a damn nice scope and I only have one issue with it, it's the handle's that anchor the bars at the bottom and the ones used to anchor the bars at the top, are they plastic or metal, the reason I ask is because the plastic will strip out over time and also they are subject to the heat and cold if their plastic, I have dealt with those same handle's on a printing press, we replaced all of them with the metal type, for the price of the scope I hope they are metal. :)
Can Skywatcher not do away with the truss clamps with a more robust set of trusses or an 8 pole system.
very nice video !
Awesome video! Very very existing after 4:15! What camera did you used for record the Milky Way?
fantastic video!!
Photo planets???
video grandioso! Congratulazioni
I gotta get me one of these!!!!!!!
denn haben wir auch in unsere kleine runde.da geht der himmel auf.
Is it much better than f.ex. 16 inch Orion ?? Or an 11 inch SCT on an EQ mount ? See any details ? Clusters ? Nebulae ?
How difficult is step 3?? Is not that cradle with the mirror around 60kg?!
This telescope price in malaysia around RM31,000 wow
Thank You for this amazing video! :-)
Only stupid people can dislike this.
Robbi Rob I totally agree with you
you right!
Excellent, lol
You forgot to show us the hour lost collimating it ..LOL
très belle vidéo !!!!
AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!
@Rakesh N www.skywatcher-india.com
I'm guessing that , after spending that much money on this mirror there was no money left over for a shroud ? LOL
What is it best for ? Planets ? Deep sky ?
show us the picture you have taken from the universe, mars, jupiter,etc,
Excelente video!!! y ni hablar de ese traga luz!!
Awesome scope need to grow some wage
would be nice to see how big things look through it ? like the moon
With a 2000 mm focal length, it is not a question as how the Moon looks, it is a question what crater details you are seeing.
The Moon's apparent size is half an arc-degree at the sky. With an 28 mm eye piece, you will get a magnification of 2000/28 = 71.4 times. You do not need more than 40 x to see the entire disk of the Moon, so, almost twice that magnification is showing you only half the Moon.
Of course, you could take an eye piece with larger focal length, but you don't need a huge telescope as this one to properly view the Moon. If you have such a monster available, you want to dive into the details of it all.
Besides, the sheer aperture size of this monster is virtually going to burn your retina when you take a peek through an eye piece without filter. This enormous telescope is gathering that much light intensity that it is almost like looking into the Sun directly. Anyone with a normal amateur telescope has made that experience, I guess. Just looking at the Moon with a fast scope is hurting your eye, so that you want to put a filter in between.
Do you have any pictures from the telescope?
Very good looking. What is the eyepiece height(in cm) at zenith? thank you
thank you
Looks amazing. Curious if there are any pictures or videos out there on the images from this type of telescope. Would you reccommend this setup over smaller EQ setups ?? Not comparable ? I managed to get very nice still images of the moon from my 12 inch manual Dobsonian, even if dobs are not supposed to..
unless you're far from any major cities, I think the larger apertures just work against you. More light gathering means more light pollution gathering.
If you want to do astrophotography, EQ setups are better. These huge telescopes are typically on Alt-Az or dubsonian type stands and I don't even know how they can solve the field rotation problem when do astrophotography. EQ stands haven't this problem.
Хорошая вещь. Но использовать её конечно хорошо где-нибудь в горах, иначе нецелесообразно покупать такую дорогую хреновину. Я я бы её установил в какую нибудь маленькую обсерваторию из сруба где нибудь в горах.
почему обязательно в горах? что за глупость
I setiously consider this
Grande Adriano! :)
what cameras where used for the timelapses ?
Can you tell me the name of this song, please?
Hi! Is it necessary to collimate it every time you use it?
A quick collimation is raccomanded
@@testaraustralia Thank you!
Is this "grab and go"?
No, definitely not
What no collimation?! 😲
The collimation part would probably have been too boring for a video like this. He did the collimation procedure for sure.
i was wondering if all the comments were sarcastic...then it got to 4:16.....
+1
Is this good for moon pictures?
You will gather details of the Moon most definitely with such a huge scope. It has a 2000 mm focal length, so that you can expect craters and such in high resolution.
The Moon's disk will appear as a 17.5 mm disk image on a camera sensor, if positioned in prime focus. With a 36 x 24 mm full frame sensor, it will just fit onto your imaging. But, with an APS-C it will barely fit, or be cropped somehow. Of course, you could apply a focus reducer, but with such a huge aperture, why would you want to do such a thing?
You can make quite nice pictures of the Moon with much smaller scopes than this monster.
@@Guido_XL I know. I was joking. But thanks for telling me so I know in the future.
@@dirtytreerat14 Does that mean that you can tell how large your image on the camera sensor is going to be if you take into consideration as to how apparently large your targeted object in the sky is? Like in this example of the Moon?
@@Guido_XL no but that’s why i said thanks so I know in the future.
@@dirtytreerat14 What I actually meant was to ask whether you understand as to how I got to my statement that the Moon will be imaged as a 17.5 mm disk on your camera-sensor in case of a 2000 mm focal length scope. Can you acknowledge that you know how this figure is produced from the example of the Moon (half a degree arc in the sky) and the f = 2000 mm data?
Very bad.... not see the pictures of the sky!!!!!
Потрачено такое большое время на сборку, охлаждение ГЗ. А ради чего ? Бобры счастливы?
Этот идиот даже не показал фотки космоса через этот телескоп
Чего вы злые такие? Ну хоть бы и бобров порадовать!
hermoso
How much?
Oh, $7k for the 20" non-goto!
With a 20" mirror wouldn't dust particles be a concern?
Photo planets?????
Awesome telescope music is by who please thank you.
👍🤤
