    "Depressing, complete failures, freezing cold, with no result" I still have those sorts of nights now and then even after ten years of imaging!!. Great piece of outreach Tim, the utter splendor of the night sky drives our addiction.

    I love this. I only have a crappy telescope from my childhood, and now, I really want to upgrade. I'm trying to buy a 150/750mm reflector with my first salary, and next month I'll hopefully buy the DSLR (though I'm thinking of a mirrorless so I can achieve prime focus easier) plus all the accessories like the T-ring, the motor for the mount, collimator... By now I've been the last 6 weeks watching astrophotography videos and I can't wait a minute more to have all the equipment together and finally start my trip. It seems this hobby came to steal all the money I'll make with my first job! 😂😂😂

    Tim, thanks for the Informative astrophotography video. I've enjoyed photography and astronomy for many years. However, I've only recently entered the realm of merging the two hobbies--astrophotography. Not long ago, I took quality photos of our nearest neighbor, the moon, but plan to go beyond that target to include deep space photography. I subscribed to your channel and will be learning and growing my new hobby.

  • @GaryMCurran
    @GaryMCurran 4 роки тому +1

    Your comments about 'depressing, complete failures' are known all too well to me. Right now, I've fallen to a low place in life, being homeless and unemployed, but I still have some of my gear in storage. Once I get myself back up and running, I plan on replacing the missing gear and starting over again.
    I've watched your channel, now subscribed, Trevor Jones, Slymin, Peter Zelinka and others to gain the information I need to produce some great stuff.
    I have a William Optics ZenithStar 71 with a flattener/reducer and a GSO 6" Ritchie Chretien. I also have a Celestron AVX, which I notice you didn't mention in your video. I've disassembled mine, cleaned it and 'finished' it, and it's quite good, actually. I hope to be able to get some good guiding out of it.
    Currently have two Sony Cameras, neither of which I would recommend for AP. Get a dedicated ZWO camera if you're going to be doing this, or an used Canon T3i/T5i or something in that range, and Backyard EOS. You can have it modified if you wish, but between the purchase and modification, you could easily spend $700 or more. A modification to remove the IR blocking filter and install a "Full Spectrum Mod" is $320USD, and a T5i on ebay is $300 or so, plus shipping. You can get them for less, but at that price point, you can get a ZWO ASI183MC Pro camera for a couple of hundred more.
    One day, I will return to astrophotography. At least I hope. :-)

  • @paca_bill4863
    @paca_bill4863 4 роки тому

    The discussion for the lens selection is interesting. For modern DSLRs, prime lenses with AF can be fairly pricy. But if you don't need autofocus capabilities, and the camera is running on manual settings, it sounds like getting an older style prime lens sounds like it actually the better way to go. For a DSLR such as one of the Nikon D3XXX series, which are APS-C format, finding an older compatible Nikon prime lens can be much less expensive. I'm assuming then what is most important is the quality and condition of the glass elements at that point.

    Hey! So I've had my 150/750 Newtonian for a couple of years and have been trying to take some shots once in a while when I have the time / can afford to lose a night's sleep. I got myself a ZWO ASI 178MC for Christmas (would've obviously liked a cooled DSO-aimed camera or just one with a bigger sensor, but unfortunately they are out of my budget :/ ) and so at this time my setup is my 150/750 Newtonian with a EQ3 mount and a small motor for rough tracking. I've had my go at M42 and was amazed by the result out of the camera, and im still figuring out the editing process (im on Mac so I use Siril for stacking and the Gimp for editing). My main issue is the fact that I live under a boatel 7 sky and I don't have the freedom of going out to darker places very often at all. I managed to capture a glimpse of the Flame nebula, but a real obsession of mine would be to produce a satisfying (objectively, but amaaaazing to me ;)) image of the Horsehead nebula. Do you think that with my setup and location its an achievable goal? Also if you had any links to editing with Gimp guides ? Ive looked around but havent found too many :( Love your vids and photos, keep it up ;)

    Have you used the idas NB1? I own it is a wonderful filter especially in class 6 skies. I can't wait for clear skies to experiment more. Fast optics is now without it's challenges though. I am at F/1.9 at 390mm with a 203.2mm aperture "8in for the US" using a v4 hyperstar. I love it but it is definitely not something I recommend doing like I did inn the first year of Astro Photography. But if you give it effort an patience the rewards are beautiful.

    Hey guys, hopefully Tim, I'm in need of some help regarding which telescope to buy on a budget. I have my eye on both skywatcher virtuoso 90/1250 and 114/600 since they have a tracking mount and are quite affordable (my range is max 350 usd). Anyways, I was wondering which of these is more suitable for astrophotography using a phone with manual controls of up to 3200iso and 32s exposure time (can use google camera (astrophotography mode stacks while imaging)). I know I wont be able to capture anything magical with it, but I'm trying with what I have. If you know of something better for the price, don't hesitate to tell. Thank you guys. :)

    • @AstroAddict
      @AstroAddict  4 роки тому +1

      That's a tough one. Think about the focal length. The 1250mm can also be used to image Planets, but many deep sky objects will be way too close. The other one will do the opposite

      Meine Favoriten sind natürlich Refraktoren, keine Newtonians. Man kann mit denen auch gut fotografieren, allerdings brauchen die mehr Aufwand und "Zuneigung". Desweiteren, den Hauptteil am Preis macht die Montierung aus (1100€). Mit dem HEQ-5 macht man nix falsch, aber dann so ein 300€ Ding draufzuklatschen erscheint mir fragwürdig. Je nachdem was du fotografieren willst empfehle ich einen kleinen bis mittleren Refraktor, sehr einfach zu benutzen, breites Sichtfeld, im Bereich von 400 bis 700€. Oder, andere alternative, mit einem dieser kleinen Refraktoren braucht man keinen HEQ-5, mit nem SkyGuider würdest du günstiger weg kommen. Ist dann auch ein leichterer Einstieg.

      AstroAddict I see black I was wanting to know if I could see galaxies. It is hard to use I point my finders scope at a star but all I see is black. It is rather to much zoom or my field if vision is to small with it.

      theres some apps for your phone that will show you what is above you whenever you point it up at the sky. You can see the andromeda galaxy, the plejades and the orion nebula with just your eyes, so every telescope should pick them up. Make sure to calibrate your finder! Point it at a tree or house at daylight and adjust it until it's ready to be used at night. Then look at the named apps on your phone, find the stars surrounding the objects and use "starhopping" (finding a bright star in the surroundings and jump from star to star until you find the star your object is around/behind. This works very well with the orion nebula and the andromeda galaxy). Good luck! :)

      Zitro ok I’ll try this when sky’s clear. What I think is Orion is low down in the sky so I might find something.

      @@garrettcollins8579 Yes about that... it's perfectly possible to see or atleast kinda see them in light polluted areas, but make sure they are not too close to the horizon. Because objects close to the horizon are behind so much of earths atmosphere that they might appear pale and flickering. Also be aware that you won't see any colours, most deep sky objects in telescopes with no digital output will look quite different than the pictures you saw in this video. You will only be able to see the outlines of certain objects if they are illuminated by stars. A nice view anyways ^^
