I got my Christmas gift early - a beautiful 8" telescope. I really like your channel. You get to the point, no fluff and information that is very understandable as a beginner. I'm very impressed with the editing of this video, again very beginner friendly. Thank you.
I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know that and congratulations on your new telescope! Stop back by for our monthly night sky videos and let me know if you ever have any questions.
Great list! I imaged the Heart Nebula last night with an L-Extreme filter and I am going to try M31 tonight, without the filter. Love the fall! Dr B from Manitoba, Canada 🇨🇦
Excellent video …….I will go back and jot down the various points of interest to view….but your explanations are very clear and you didn’t rush ….it’s great ly appreciated
Last night I set out to get another Andromeda image. I captured about 90 minutes of data. While my astro rig was doing its thing I was using my 8 inch dobsonian to check out saturn,Jupiter and Mars. This was one of those rare nights where the atmosphere was very calm. Even with 8mm eyepiece and a 2 times barlow the planets were exceptionally clear. It was a great night to sit alone out in a field and enjoy the peaceful night.
It sounds like you hit the jackpot with your night! I was doing something similar tonight, Imaging Andromeda and catching some peaks at Jupiter through a pair of binoculars! Keep up the great imaging and observing and please share your final image with me over on instagram!
Great video! I’ve been doing Astrophotography for a while but still need to brush up on what’s up there this time of year. I completely forgot about elephant trunk so thanks to you I’m now on exposure 3 of 60 @300 seconds. 😝
@@LateNightAstronomy Getting ready to post it on Insta. This is my channel you know how you are supposed to have two, I don't get that. lol. Thanks Michael.
@@LateNightAstronomy I apologize I’m a complete moron when it comes to Instagram I have no idea how to post a link but thank you nevertheless. You have a nice calming voice On your videos I just sound like a redneck hick 😂
Amazing video this is super helpful and I hope you continue to do this for every season! I'm headed up to the 100 mile wilderness tomorrow to a class 1 dark sky site and this was VERY helpful! On a side note, is it possible I can order some of your photographs on a good paper to frame?
That sounds wonderful! I am very jealous of the sky you are about to be under! I actually already have a video like this out for Winter, Spring and Summer. Feel free to check them out and I'll let you know if I ever end up selling prints of my images! Take care and clear skies!
Thanks for the tour Michael - nice list of things for me to go after. So my question for you is: how long are you getting your exposures with the use of your star tracker? I just started to use one and I wondered what others can expect. Thanks.
Good question! I've got some tutorials on the steps I use over in my astrophotography playlist but for most objects with my equipment I am doing 15 to 90 second exposure depending on the object and whether I am using a light pollution filter or not.
Ill be sure to tag you on Instagram as I would love to share with you any Astro images I took. You along with some others like Astrobackyard and Nebula Photos awoke my passion for astronomy and Astrophotography :)) - Robert

I like this list. I am going to try to get my first images of the Triangulum Galaxy tonight as its going to be a clear dark night in New England.
I just finished with my first attempt at the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101), so that's next on my "To Do" list too ! Good luck with your imaging session.
Glad you enjoyed it. Please stop back by to let us know how your imaging goes this fall.
Thank you, cooler temps make it more pleasant to stay out a few hours.
Yes, Fall & Spring are my two biggest times to observe and image! Hope you are able to get out and enjoy the sky this fall!

i'm using the L-extreme on Friday to get more data on the elephant's trunk nebula :)
Thanks so much and please feel free to share your final images with me over on Instagram! Best of luck imaging and clear skies!

I'm really glad to hear that and it makes my day to know that you found it helpful. Stop back by if you are able to spot anything!

It's not a deep sky object, but I did finally see Uranus a week ago when it was in conjunction with the moon.
Excellent observation. I was able to see Mars close to the Moon earlier this week! The planets are out in full force right now!
Nice
Thanks
Pleiades? Orion Nebula?
Those are wonderful targets but I consider them to be winter targets. I've already covered them in the best objects of the winter night sky!
