Just picked up a fast F/3.9 Newtonian - Bresser N20839 and you are convincing me to get the Baader Coma Corrector vs the other brands at 2x the price!
Hey Chris. Fantastic images.. Your really knocking them out of the park lately... I'd say just keep doing what your doing with regards to how you present your channel. The thing I've always loved about your channel is your easy going relaxed fun approach to sharing your knowledge. Take care pal :)
Aah that's really kind of you to say Jason! and coincidentally the easy going and fun sharing of knowledge is exactly what I see when watching your channel! :) Thanks for watching and have a great weekend mate :)
Good video and nice image--perhaps the best one you've presented on the channel to date. Clear skies!
Cheers Matt! and I think you might be right because my wife said "did you really take that" lol
@@Astrolavista LOL😆
Nice image Chris, you'll love using the Asiair plus, I have an asiair pro and was an absolute game changer for me, simplifies everything and all under one hood, PA, guiding, plate solving is amazing and saves so much time, nebulae are my favourite to image with my sw 72ed, keep up the good work
My favorite feature is the ability to set up plans that aim the scope at different targets throughout the night. What a boon for astro-productivity! Not as useful on the UK's short summer nights, but a real treat during the long winter ones.
Hey thanks so much Lee! I am pleased with this one, and also excited about the ASI Air Plus. I've not heard anyone say they don't absolutely love it! ZWO really are smashing it with their products! Glad you're enjoying your Air and ED72 :)
Thanks chris got the same setup but with the stellalyra coma corrector. Going to try 73mm. Great vid mate
Hi Ceri, thank you for watching it's appreciated :) One of my corners looked good at 73mm back spacing, and I think the other corners could be tilted due to having the coma corrector hanging so far out the focuser? Please let me know how you get on, I will be interested to compare notes! :)
Hey Chris, great video! I like the new(ish) format, it seems more relaxed. Incidentally I also just bought a baader mk3 cc on the used market here. Waiting for it to be delivered so I can try it out.
And I also got an l enhance filter delivered today. Now we'll both have the same kind of setup. Newtonian + baader cc + l enhance for nebulae. I guess it's true great minds do think alike 😜
Thanks mate! and congrats on the Baader MPCC! I've had a couple over the years and it just seems to work well with whatever reflector I use it with so I'm sure you'll like it :)
All the videos about making better video tell you to edit the pauses and Ums out, else people will click off if you don't speak constantly as well as being hyper animated, but you're basically learning to be not yourself. I think moving forward I'm going to be myself as much as possible and just treat these types of videos as an astro hang out :)
Aah man! you're so going to love the L-eNhance! it's the best purchase ever! Excited for you :D
Hi Chris nice image I've always swore by my Baader MPCC as it always worked well in my 250PX when I used to image with it, sadly it's to big to use in the obsy so I need to find something with a long FL but more compact. Funnily enough I were imaging this target last Friday, clear skies!!
Hiya, thanks mate :) The Baader just works doesn't it! What about an RC's and SCT? These are great for tight spaces (both have pros and cons of course as you probably know). This is what I would need if going longer as I'm in the same boat (6x8' obsy) Clear skies!
@@Astrolavista I always fancied an RC scope but they seem such a pain to collimate they've kinda put me off owning one, I'll probably look for an SCT at some point an edge would be nice but the wallet says no lol.
@@dumpydalekobservatory Yeah I love the Edge HD's but Celestron prices have rocketed :(
Like with a lot of astro equipment these days sadly :-( maybe a bargain will turn up who knows on the second hand market I can hope.
Nice image Chris. I use a TS 0.95x coma corrector with my 533 + 8” F5 newt. It’s pretty solid, although the 1x is better from what I’ve heard, which makes sense as it’s a better four element design.
Thanks mate! Yeah the TS x1 is supposed to work up full frame (accepting the vignetting with a 2" focuser) which means it must correct really well with a one inch sensor.
Cool Image of The Nebula Chris. Look forward to see What You do With the Asiair Plus!
Hey Avanteesh! I knew it was a good one when my wife said "did you really take that?" lol I'm pretty exited to use the Air plus!! I need to finish a video for work next (First Light Optics channel) so it might be a couple of weeks until I properly get to play with it. I always appreciate you dropping by mate, thanks for watching :)
As always, great video Chris. I have the Baader for my 130p-ds, but I have yet to image with it.
Thanks so much Kevin! you'll get on well with the Baader, I've used it with the 130pds a few years back and yet again it just works with no hassle! :) I must have spent weeks trying to get the StellaLyra coma corrector to work with no joy. I will feed back to FLO that the Baader is a better match :)
Nice Job Chris that Baader certainly seems to help. I'm kinda surprised it can track for that long without guiding. l-eNhance always a great filter.
Hey Ollie, thanks! I have to say the L-eNhance must be one of my favourite astronomy purchases, it's made such a big difference to my imaging! iOptron are cool in that they state periodic error performance for their mounts, and it's
I used to have the revelation version of that coma corrector (they are all made by GSO) and it introduced chromatic aberration. The Baader is much better
I am planning to buy this GSO 6 inch scope. Do you really suggest this scope? Any issues dod you face could you please answer my question
I just got an Orion XT8 and I already had a Fuji XT4!
Quick question please : Is there any way to CONNECT my FujiFilm XT4 camera to my Orion XT8 Dobsonian for astrophotography ? What do I need to make these two wonderful creations to come together ? 🙂🤔😌
Hey lonut, you can connect your camera to your XT8 using a Fuji T-ring and 2" T-adapter:
www.firstlightoptics.com/adapters/t-rings/ref/astrolavista/
www.firstlightoptics.com/adapters/astro-essentials-2-inch-t-mount-camera-nosepiece-adapter/ref/astrolavista/
However the Orion XT8 is setup more for observing with eyepieces rather than astrophotography so you will need to modify the telescope slightly by moving the primary mirror further up the tube so you can reach focus with a DSLR or Mirrorless camera. My UA-cam Buddy Garnett has a video on how to go about this here:
ua-cam.com/video/vTL6wdEKyjQ/v-deo.html
Hi Chris, I like the more relaxed video style mate , and a very nice final image, can i ask what camera you are using to take your videos with, the all sky imagers are very nice
Thanks again mate for taking the time to produce these videos
My pleasure Anthony, filming and editing etc does add a lot of work but I genuinely love sharing nights under the stars with people so wouldn't have it any other way :) Camera wise I wanted the Sony A7s III which can basically see in the dark but who can afford 4k so I researched a more affordable alternative! - Sony ZV-E10 with Sigma 16mm f1.4 prime lens. I know everyone has to be hyper themselves to present on UA-cam but if I watch a video back and see me not being me it does make me cringe a little bit lol
@@Astrolavista Thanks for the information Chris
Wow! Cool image Chris! I'm looking at getting a small Newtonian (130pds or 6" F4 like this) although I have a Sony A7iii. Seeing your scope struggle with the stars in the corners even with an aps-c sensor makes me wonder if there's any point getting one with my full-frame sensor. What do you think?
Thanks! I'm pleased with this one :D The TS four element super flat coma corrector is supposed to flatten full frame sensors, however the problem is vignetting when using Newtonians with a 2" focusers. Also I know the PDS range has an oversized secondary for good field illumination but I'm not sure it's large enough to fully illuminate full frame? Maybe consider a refractor with a large focuser for full frame imaging instead, or use crop mode for the 130pds or 150p f/4?
hi would you rate stellarium over skyview thanks
Hi, I've not used Skyview sorry.
Just my guess... The Aps-c sensor is big .... That kind of scope with its comma corrector might work just fine with say an imx 533 type sensor.
Yeah I expect it would be at least better with the smaller 1" square sensor :)
@@Astrolavista all in all a very respectable pic!!!
Do you use this coma corrector on your skywatcher 200mm ?? Great content btw 👌 👏
Yes I do, and thanks so much!
@AstroLaVista cool thankgou - do you use the 200mm for planetary imaging or observation? I'm really excited to try my new 200mm (same as yours) on Saturn and Jupiter later in the year. Deffo like to see a planetary vid or 2
What’s a better coma corrector for the 8“ f4 StellaLyra? The Baader or the „SharpStar 2" 0.95x MPCC for f/3-f/6 Paraboloid Newtonian Reflector Telescopes“? I’m torn :/ Hope you can help!
What program do you use to convert the Fujifilm files. I have the X-T3.
I used to have to convert The RAF to Tiffs using one of the free online converters (free if you only convert a handful of frames each day), however the latest version of DSS lets you use Fuji RAF files (The caveat being it does take longer to stack compared to a Canon camera for example.
I just got my 8 inch StelleLyra astrograph. Have not tested it yet. Curious if it is as good as Skywatcher 8 inch. ??
It's a good question, I've not tested the Sky-Watcher Quattro f/4 so not sure which is best, but I'm very pleased with how the StellaLyra is holding collimation and performing.
Oh and congrats on the new scope!
hi would you rate stellarium over skyview
Does “kicks bottom” mean something good or bad?
Usually it means it does something well
Thank you.
You're welcome Ron, thanks for watching.
Skywatcher is made in China and StelleLyra in Taiwan ?
That's right, Sky-Watcher are made in the Synta factory in China, same as Celestron. Stellalyra are based on GSO scopes made by Guan sheng Optical of Taiwan :)
