    Trevor it was so very pleasing to meet you and Ash at starfest 2022. I did end up getting my rig running for the second night and shot the lagoon. I always love to see your ever improving images of Andromeda c s!

    I remember watching that first Andromeda camping video you're referring to. I actually watched it again the other day and I'm aware that other things happened not long after to change your life. So I can only imagine how profound and impactful this image must be to you and I'm sure you're going to treasure this trip for many years to come. Thanks for the fun vlog mate and absolutely great image at the end. Amazing how far we can progress in the time given

    It was so nice to meet you man, and Ashley! You guys are so great. Starfest was such a blast. Meeting the ones i've been talking to for months was awesome. This event was unforgettable. Great shot of M31. And thank you for taking the time to chat :).

    What a great example of how you can progress if you stick to something for a long time! And how cool is it that you have filmed everything in between for 5 straight years? That's dedication for you :-). Thanks so much for the vlogs, keep 'em coming!

    And just like that, once again the bar is raised! - Holy mother of progress man, I remember watching your 5 years ago M31 vid (seems like last week, lol!) and I have to say not only has your photography gone to another level completely but your productions are in another galaxy of their own! You're out here making Netflix quality productions at this point, it's absolutely wild to see and near impossible to appreciate the effort this must take!
    Just incredible man, mad respect :-)
    Clear skies!

    Fabulous result, and another wonderful video!
    I’m sure I’m not alone in wondering - even asking - if you would do a video showing your gear & settings you used to shoot the Andromeda galaxy at the starfest, and how you processed to get such detail, contrast and also bring out the ha and blue star forming regions.
    And of course, some more of Ash’s imaging results too!

    You just have to go back to those old favorites as your skills and equipment improve. We are never satisfied with our current work for long. Great image! A recent article in Astronomy magazine (Aug 2022) has inspired me to do a series of M31 images over a month or so to see if I can detect the Cepheid variable M31-V1. After 9 days, by golly, I think I see the little bugger.

    Thank you so much for posting this video. You are an inspiration to me to take the best astrophotography picture I can do. My wife is supportive with this hobby so I’m able to get a decent couple of days per month under clear skies to take some photos. They’re nowhere near what you do but I’m sort of getting in the ballpark of what can be done. You rock! Can you at least like this video so I can show my wife I’m learning from you! (which means I can justify spending time on UA-cam lol)

    After seeing your videos constantly, I decided to do astrophotography as my hobby. I purchased most of the things but I’m not sure which tripod is good for my setup which is not very expensive and sturdy with all the stuff that I have. I’ve already purchased star adventurer 2i pro pack, skywatcher Evostar 72 APO Doublet refractor, Canon 6D and few accessories.

    • @jameschase9002
      @jameschase9002 2 роки тому +1

      Just a thought... I started-out with the 1st model Star Adventurer, and picked-up a used Meade telescope tripod on CloudyNights Classifieds. I built a mount-point adapter out of wood, and it worked great! I think I got that tripod for under $125, and then sold it 2 years later for the same amount.

  • @werdsmyth
    @werdsmyth 2 роки тому

    Clearly a big difference over 5 years. But how much of that improvement would you put down to your better experience in capturing images vs better imaging equipment vs improved skill in post-processing? I'm sure it's a combination of them all but is there one that has shifted the needle more than the others?
