    I have to tell you something. YOU are the reason many of us started this hobby! And I think I can say for sure .. YOU are one of the best in astro photography out there. Many vintage cars are good, but you, you are on a completely different floor. The way you make videos, and the way you talk, info, tell us how and when. I would never have started this hobby if your videos were not on youtube. I hope I can call you my friend :) Because you have helped me, and many of us, to have a new hobby, a new way of seeing the sky, the stars, hell and even life itself .. I can not thank you enough Trevor. This hobby brings so much joy, and so many good times. So I want to say thank you from my heart, thank you very much.

      Camera plus new set of 2" LRGBHaOIIISII filters plus 2" filter wheel plus new set of larger T adapters makes the total really closer to $5K or more. Much to consider.

    Funny thing is Trevor, many others (myself included) also look up to you in this fashion. I've had amazing growth for the past couple of years, but seeing what you guys do is a great incentive to keep on learning. Looking forward to seeing your new photos!

    Stunning preview images Trevor. I have the ASI1600 MM Pro and love it. Since they finally made a mono version of the 2600 I think you were right in waiting. They do have the mono 6200 which has even a larger sensor but aside from the $4K price of that camera, the file sizes are 4 times larger so you better have a super computer to do the processing. The ASI 2600 is definitely the way to go. Oddly enough I just purchased the ASI294MC since I will be temporarily moving in other direction and want to do small scale galaxies and such with the Edge HD8 that purchased 2 month ago and is probably still sitting in China. As usual, great job on the video, Cheers!

  • @endless-sky2777
    @endless-sky2777 3 роки тому

    I have been shooting with my self-astromodified Nikon D5300 for about a year. When I'll make the leap to dedicated astrocamera, that's exactly the camera I have in mind. I love my APS-C sensor field of view and I wouldn't settle for anything smaller. Full frame requires better optics, so that's out of the question, for now. The ZWO ASI 2600MM Pro satisfies all my requirements, too: same size sensor, amazing specs, monochrome (bye bye photon eating Bayer matrix!) and cooling. Definitely worth saving up for!

    Another well done video. Always expectantly waiting for the ride with new gear. Big refractor , new mono camera, Pixinsight, so much new to see. Go get Dylan and Chuck, and that next APOD. But... don’t forget the folks happy at the base and those just coming into the hobby. Once in a while break out the Raptor, a DSLR, not necessarily the Ra, stack it in DSS and teach yourself another new thing, GIMP, and takes us through those steps again and inspire us all to better and more satisfying imaging. And just a bit more Rudy too if possible, crazy is as crazy does.

    I snagged one on the last day of preorder. It’ll be my luminance workhorse on the rasa while the 294mc will be used for rgb.. until I can afford filters anyway. I have an artesky rasa adapter for 2” filters on the way so I can mount a uv/ir cut filter. I hope this camera is as good as all the hype! I’m just excited I’m finally making the jump to mono! Your data sample looks nice! Very promising!!

    Its difficult to beat the image quality of these cameras but those who are on low budget can get best output even with a crop sensor dslr. I have got better results with my crop sensor dslr by running the final image through Topaz Denoise AI. This plug-in really removes all the noise without ruining the sharpness and details.

  • @billchiles7734

    I for one can't wait to see what you can do with this camera. I really enjoy what you are doing with your channel, the range from the beginner and now what you can do with more advanced gear. Living in a bortle class 2, I really need to find the time to get out more. >

    Hello Trevor, It pains me to see you digging out a respectable area for your setup!. To be so-o-o dedicated to your "hobby" is encouraging. I show your videos to my wife, to lend support to MY craziness in the field. Well, there ARE some things about women that even I do not understand, so I am just grateful for a supportive spouse who will allow me my pleasures (even if she will not come out into the snow to share it with me). Great intro for the new camera; I have been debating between a mono and a color camera. I guess it is priorities on what I wish to accomplish. Reviews such as yours provides significant info into an expensive decision process. (Everytime I purchase something astronomical, my better half decides that "something" in the house needs a meaningful upgrade.)

    I wish I worked in an industry that made something this guy needs to review. The video provides enough context that viewers can gauge whether the product is relevant to their needs, outlines why the new item matters to him, then details the dopeness.
    I bet he gives cons, too. I wrote this before his conclusions.
    Well, no enumerated cons against the item, but bonus shovel shots? Overall, though, well-structured review.

    Great job Trevor - did you try a bright star? The 1600's used to struggle. Hard to get a clean flame for example. The brighter stars would reveal a pattern on the glass/sensor. I'm hesitant to buy this camera not knowing that. Thanks for a great job in the article. You almost have me sold with the sensor size.

    @PaulHummerman 3 роки тому +1

    Of course filters cut lots of photons too. Whether under dark sky conditions mono+filters is significantly more efficient than color is an interesting, object-dependent, calculation which you don't do. Add in the extra work and time and I'm not convinced.

    • @earlteigrob9211
      @earlteigrob9211 Рік тому

      Just split your OSC into separate RGB channels to process and you can get most the gains of mono. Mono may be a bit better, but I see amazing results from OSC and mono is not worth the extra work and cost for me.

    I have the same filter wheel and camera. Just the other night I noticed my target was close to Zenith and the wheel was about to crash the mount. Hopefully it can be rotated and mounted at a 90° angle???? I have since set some limits on the losmandy G11 mount but nowhere near vertical For zenith. It’s about 83° because of this giant filter wheel. With meridian flip I’ll lose about 15° of the sky which is about 1 hour of imaging time 🤦‍♂️
