I am feeling really down mentally and I saw this notification. It cheered me up a bit. I still have to wait 24 minutes tho for the premiere to start. But thanks for all these uploads, I love them. You got me into astronomy and it has helped a lot with my mental health.
Totally for me also, I lost my older sister to cancer during Covid lockdown last June so wasn't able to attend funeral in Ozzie...these vids have helped take my mind off her, and looking at the milky way images helped numb my grief & steal my thoughts away from thinking about her.
@@PS-ul2nmthank you, I feel happiness again since subscribing to Trevor's utube. Astrophotography has renewed my desire to learn something, thank you for sharing
Hey, I’m just a random person from the internet, but wanted to say I feel for you. The lockdown has been a struggle for me too, beyond the normal season depression I deal with. But this channel was also a huge part of why I recently took up astronomy, and it’s been such a beautiful, life-affirming way reach out beyond my suffering and feel connected to the universe. The fact that every object in the night sky is shining its light right down at me actually makes me feel very big, and connected to my world. Keep looking up, and always ask for help if you need it. There are many organizations and people who devote their lives to, and derive great joy from helping those who suffer, in the mind or otherwise. Best wishes.
I comment and like videos cos they improve their visibility and people deserve to get credited for their work. If u got any benefit from it, like, comment and share
Same. I've gotten a lot of interest of photographing Orion. In the summer, I plan to get my phone and take the wonderful pictures of the sky. You don't need much to get started. I'm not even a teenager yet and I'm still doing astrophotography pretty much by myself.
@@TheSpacePlaceYT Hey, same here! Beginner preteen here and I'm really interested in astrophotography! I would like to learn more about stacking and all of that, because I'm not sure what to use. But I've seen the Pleiades cluster, the orion nebula, stars, the moon and some planets. I think I need a bigger scope to see detail on planets though. But I'm working on it!
I became Starstruck just a few months ago after a visit to Cherry Springs. It has been such a journey!! At age 73 I didn't think there was anything left that could so inspire & capture my interest. Since then I have been looking at stars & discovered the fuzzy stars on Orion's sword. I then got a Dwarf Smartscope on Cyber Monday, and have been capturing my first images of this nebula (which totally looks like a bird to me!!) Your video is incredible. I'm so impressed with your rig & your dedication. Thanks & clear skies!
I have to say I truly enjoy and learn a lot from each of your videos. The downside in watching your videos is like home shopping. You view the million-dollar homes first (your videos) and then when it comes to actually make the purchase, it's just a modest small home that needs some fixing up. I have to remind myself that I am not tech-savvy and struggle with software programs for pic editing. And being disabled I don't have the ability to deal with long hour cold temp photography in the winter.
Saw the Orion Nebula for the first time today with my telescope. Seriously one of my proudest moments as an amateur star-gazer! Must say I'm grateful that you are making these videos. Cheers from Sweden.
Holy crap! I've seen a lot of pics of Orion but this takes the cake! I'd love to see the processing workflow on this, at least as far as the Canon goes (I haven't talked myself into buying a telescope and ccd cam yet). Outstanding job! Clear skies to all!
I have to say you are so right about missing the stars, I am here on Long Island NY so our weather is almost identical. Its been cloudy for about a week now and I am itching to really get light onto my new imaging scope. You are an inspiration to me to shoot from my Bortle 8 sky and I saw your Orion picture on Instagram, absolutely amazing, hands down the best astrophotography photo I have seen to date.
I’m just starting out, strictly visual for now but man, the first time I slewed to the Orion Nebula it absolutely sucked all the breath from my lungs and even now I just can’t explain the raw richness of emotion that hit me. And even though I just have a 90’s Celestron C8 I got off some far out dude on Craigslist, and it was black and white in the eyepiece, in Bortle 4 skies with poor seeing, without anywhere the contrast or detail of these photos, the impact those ageless photons had as they hit my retina is absolutely beyond what language can convey. What a beautiful image dude, you really are a master. I’m looking forward to taking on astrophotography, although my bank account isn’t. But for now, the magic of finding objects and admiring them as-is, in real-time, is as much as my soul can bear.
Orion is the first star system that i learned in lockdown. I like it very much, it's my favourite!! I see the Orion belt every night in Athens, Greece!
For me in Greece, it's Cassiopeia that I first learned, under the Summer-Autumn skies. I use it as a pivot point to find everything else like the triangulum, Perseus, and Polaris.
Hey Trevor! Because of you, I was able to image the Flame Nebula & Horsehead Nebula at 300mm. Thank you for everything that you do. I hope your 2021 gets clear skies!
Nicely done, and I Like the feel/mood change...more laid back feeling to this vid. You are in your element again. I think showing things below the scope is helpful as well....cables, and hook ups, as well as the close-up on the actual mount set up. I also set my Raptor 61 up yesterday with the focuser on top....otherwise hits the mount when balancing. Getting ideas from others saves time and frustration sometimes.
Excellent video and image capture of M42. Kudos to you for braving the chilly weather. I live further South in the USA (about 39 deg N). It it’s been too cold for me on the rare clear nights here!!!
Very beautiful picture of Orion 👍🏻😃 looks awesome! We in Switzerland are not lucky with the weather, since 3 weeks cloudy... well hope soon to catch Orion as well 🤩 Your videos are always TOP!
Trev/Ash, I just wanted you to know that no matter how much anticipation there is to your new upload (and it's a lot) I always let the ads run first and don't skip, so you deservedly get paid. As usual a lovely lovely shot. Looks like a big raspberry!
Great pic, Trevor! I smile at you guys and your "winter problems". I'm South African and currently live in Dubai, so I generally don't have the cold weather and cloudy skies to worry about. Sadly, the light pollution is a problem, though. Luckily, it's a short drive to the desert, where we can get Bortle 4.
Rudy is such a good dog! Just hanging out in the back yard with dad!!! Lol. Great video as always. Cool seeing the monochrome and filter wheel on the small scope!
Your videos are bloody fantastic! You have inspired me to start looking into this hobby. I've always been interested, but it's been put off. Well not anymore. Please don't stop making videos and explaining things to us newbies. Your videos' quality is literally "out of this world" pardon the pun. The music you choose, the way you manipulate the camera and angles you use, creates a thing of beauty that is very difficult to look away from. Thank you, from South Africa.
Wow! What a fantastic capture! This is the most detailed M42 I’ve seen. I have never seen the the dust and dark nebulae details before in a photo of this. Just Wow! I only have a Canon EOS 70 D and kit lenses and Rokinon 14 mm on a Skywatcher adventurer tracker
Trevor, I wanted to thank you for the tip on the hand warmers. They are awesome and a hand saver on the bitterly cold winter nights we have in the high Colorado desert. Also, I've been a fan of your site and work for sometime. Living in a Bortal 2 site I figured one day I'd get the gear to photograph DSO. Well with my wife's encouragement I took the plunge. Keep the content coming and know that you do make a difference.
Well done man, this looks really great. There have been clouds here in Niagara for so many weeks now, that its been a rarity to get outside. Cant wait to see what you put out next!
I recently made a trip to a Bortle 3 area just to shoot my first Milky Way pictures... bought the rockinon 14mm more than 9 years ago and believe it or not, I never got my feet in dark skies during the milky way season, so I never gave up and sold the lens, Tau Herculids was my incentive to go out and shoot it in kissimee praire national park 2.5 hours from Orlando, since then I rediscovered my passion for astronomy and rediscovering your channel, man your work is fantastic, thanks for all the lessons, beein watching your videos non stop for a couple weeks
Your best orion yet!! Love it! Please give m106 another shot this galaxy season! Ive been shooting Orion nebula with my 8" astropraph and my cell phone but am having a huge pain with the coma corrector. Cant seem to get the back focus even close to working lol.
That's why I as a beginner skipped the normal Newtonian stage altogether and jumped right into the world of a Maksutov-Newtonian. It was a considerable financial issue, but in the end, I think it pays off beautifully. Now, still being a beginner, I own a small 90/1250 Mak, a 120/600 achromat refractor and a 190/1000 Mak-Newt. What I am lacking now is a tracking mount, as my EQ1 and EQ5 are still static. But I am not in a hurry, the tracking will come some day.
Jealous that you are north of me and you were able to get clear skies. I have been without for over a month now with nothing good in the forecast. So, I will have to settle with living vicariously through your channel and with you continued Clear Skies. By the way congratulation on your wife joining you to run the business. Can we expect daily updates from you now ;-) Keep it coming I have been at this hobby less than a year and have learned a lot from your channel and website.
Absolutely astounding that an amateur astronomer (as opposed to an observatory) could get such detailed image of a nebula. I raise my hat to you and thankyou. PS don't neglect Betelgeuse and Rigel spectacular and colorful giants as well as the many multiple star systems in there and all approx 1000 Ly away.
Trevor will you be going to Cherry Springs this year? Me and a close friend will be come June bringing along my newly acquired Meade Lightbridge. This will be my only second dark sky site and his first! Excited! Great work and great videos, if I can learn half as much as you know I’d be ecstatic!! Clear skies
M42 is one of my favourite objects and one I want to get a good pic of. I'm lucky being in the southern hemisphere and it's nice and high right now. Sometimes I just go and sit outside and look up just to enjoy it with the naked eye but I do plan to do a minute by minute full map of the whole constellation with all the DSOs just to capture it all. It'll take some time though cause I'm just a beginner and starting my journey.
Another great video. 2 points: I lost my first dslr to dew. I attached a 12v PC fan to my second dslr and it still survives. Secondly, with the larger scope so close to your house, the light from Orion has to wobble through any convection currents rising from the house. Minor points, please keep the videos coming!
I'm so excited to get into astrophotography, I just ordered my first EQ mount and telescope, along with the L-Pro filter and other doodads, so hoping they ship sooner than later because I have wanted to do this for such a long time. Watched many of your videos for inspiration!
Great pics, great music, keep up the good work! I’ve been viewing this vid for a few months now, over and over, down here in Australia I view Orion through my 15x70 binoculars, so to see your pics of Orion are wonderful!! Thanks✌️
Long time sub, first time commenting. Absolutely breath taking!!!! I love watching Astrobackyard. I always get excited when I see a new upload. Trevor thank you!!!!
I'm excited to finally get into this your videos sparked a passion in me over a year ago and that passion burns brighter then ever soon I get my first refractor telescope the Orion AstroView 120ST equatorial refracting telescope im so excited to get it but sadly its back ordered until the end of March due to covid. But I wont let that get my hopes up cause my drive to do not just astrophotography but astrophysics and more is endless :) I just wanted you to know that you changed my life and what I want to become and that I thank you for that! Keep up the fantastic videos your doing an amazing job and again thank you! :)
Agree that here in Melbourne Australia we are spoiled for great sky views like Orion and many others. My poor view equivalent is M31 Andromeda, that barely is 10° from North horizon. Best seen from Northern Territory here.
Last December, I could see M31 Andromeda with the naked eye, almost at zenith. When I take my Celestron 20x80 binoculars, look to Cassiopeia and then to Mirach, I can easily find M31 in between. It gives me a sore neck, though ;) So, to compensate for this, I pan towards Orion and M42. Not now though, we are suffering from heavy clouding lately. Perhaps this weekend will be better. Greetings from the Netherlands @ 51.88° N.
Astonishingly beautiful work Trevor. Absolutely jealous but more proud. I'm from Niagara but live in Vietnam. I can see the haze of messier 42 through my small dobsonian in light polluted Saigon. Strangely my fujifilm telescope mount is called an M42 mount - is there a relation? I wonder.
Amazing video as always Trevor. I think I'm pretty much as South as you are North. Orion gets very high in the sky here. Imw 43 degrees south (I think that's what I'm supposed to say lol)... We only get 5 hours of darkness in January and summer is quite cloudy so it's not always plain sailing to shoot it. Hearing you speak about it getting to - 20 degrees is crazy to me though lol. In winter here the coldest it ever gets is - 2. When this covid stuff is over you will definitely have to visit NZ. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
In Germany, it has been cloudy since 2 weeks now and it will be cloudy for another week, not even a single night was suitable for astrophotography or stargazing.
Yes, I experienced the same grief here in the middle of the Netherlands. Perhaps this weekend, skies may clear up. It cannot remain like this forever... Irgendwann möchte ich auch Mal wieder meinen 190/1000 Maksutov-Newton rausstellen und dieses Mal M42 aufs Korn nehmen, jetzt wo ich 12V Autositzheizmatten dran gebastelt habe, damit er draußen nicht auskühlt.
I am feeling really down mentally and I saw this notification. It cheered me up a bit. I still have to wait 24 minutes tho for the premiere to start. But thanks for all these uploads, I love them. You got me into astronomy and it has helped a lot with my mental health.

This one had to be hard
no answer yet...mmh processing from raw to that colorful result seems to be a hidden mystery ;)
I'd be really interested to know how you align multiple images from separate setups and line it all up in the end it's definitely an art
I'm amazed you got that result under basically a full moon. Great job!

Amazing video as always Trevor. I think I'm pretty much as South as you are North. Orion gets very high in the sky here. Imw 43 degrees south (I think that's what I'm supposed to say lol)... We only get 5 hours of darkness in January and summer is quite cloudy so it's not always plain sailing to shoot it. Hearing you speak about it getting to - 20 degrees is crazy to me though lol. In winter here the coldest it ever gets is - 2. When this covid stuff is over you will definitely have to visit NZ. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
New to it all love your videos still trying to put the right equipment together. Hope to get half the quality of yours thanks for the videos!!!!!
Still remember my first time seeing M42, was a beautiful moment that’s for sure
Hi Trevor,
great video and wonderful a result.
Clear Skies ✨🔭
Marco
Always got some fire tracks!
HOLY SMOKES... One of your best images to date... I know my next target for sure!
@AstroBackyard! Can't believe you were down here in Costa Rica! The views are astonishing from here! Amazing shot, by the way!!
Super image, phenomenal detail! Well done Trevor 👍🏻
You never cease to astound. Awesome job as always, Trevor. Clear skies and happy new year!
In Germany, it has been cloudy since 2 weeks now and it will be cloudy for another week, not even a single night was suitable for astrophotography or stargazing.
Yes, I experienced the same grief here in the middle of the Netherlands. Perhaps this weekend, skies may clear up. It cannot remain like this forever... Irgendwann möchte ich auch Mal wieder meinen 190/1000 Maksutov-Newton rausstellen und dieses Mal M42 aufs Korn nehmen, jetzt wo ich 12V Autositzheizmatten dran gebastelt habe, damit er draußen nicht auskühlt.
Saw the orion's constellation on december of 2020..love it
You need to travel to Sydney Australia. At 8pm Orion's belt and nebula are directly over my house n on a clear night look's absolutely amazing.
Come to Australia to see it, awesome x Thank you for sharing your brilliant pics x
Just a stunning image, you inspire me.
An absolutely stunning image. Incredible detail and colours. Breathtaking. I'm running out of superlatives!
Great captures! Keep up the content
Keep up the work bro
I always love when I get a recommendation for one of your videos and to see what you shot and the final results
