Every purchase of streamyard for your own streaming helps me cover the cost of my internet bill so I can stream (vs. basic internet which is too slow). I really do enjoy Streamyards so this is easy for me to recommend the service streamyard.com...

Just found your channel, great work mate….. :)
Welcome aboard!
Thanks mate…. Im in Albany, Western Australia, about as far south as you can get, nice dark skies… I have both the Seestar and DWARF 2, I prefer to use the Seestar more than the DWARF.
This was a fun livestream. I have a SeeStar and have had a chance to use it yet. So, this was great.
Glad you enjoyed the stream! The SeeStar is a great smart telescope, extremely user friendly!
Nice video Graeme! I would like to try a messier marathon and stream witht je Seestar but i have a lot of obstructions here
Thanks Ioan! Yes it would be hard here too unless I went to a clearer spot or moved around the property for various targets.
If you have a Ryobi 18V one+ system, you can buy SYMIK 100W USB Charger & 145W Power Source to charge your ZWO SeeStar S50 while using it, it works pretty well.
Oh that’s a good suggestion! Right now if I want extra power I bring a USB power pack with me.
Mikey Smith horizontally appozed on you tube has taped Betelgeuse, Sirius, Orions belt, Capella and Vega with a green frequency coil white base and twinkling colors
Nice, is he using a spectroscopy?
Did you view his stars. Are the colors of his coils always so perfect like any astronomer has
Mikey Smith uses 20x80 celestron binoculars with his cell phone camera mounted to it. Binoculars show a true image. With the binoculars other eye piece he can find stars in around 20 seconds
Binoculars are great for visual observations!
Have you figured out a way to do Mosaic's with the Seestar???
That feature hasn’t be added yet. You can do it manually (I’m doing a moasic of the California nebula) but you have to combine the photos post-processing on your computer afterwards… and hopefully not miss anything.
What astronomy chart do you have on your phone? I'm having a hard time finding nebula to image between midnight and dawn in February. I should say I'm at 43 degrees north.
I'm jealous, as it's bortle 8-9 here. I should say I'm at 43 degrees north.
The Seestar is great for grab and go. Don't always have time or room in the car.
SkySafari Pro (6?) right now a lot of nebulas are in the western sky at night and heading to the horizon as March_April is galaxy season as the Milky Way swing around to the summer side.
I have the free version of sky safari. With so few clear nights last couple months, every second of imaging time is precious. With 360mm scope, and light pollution, galaxies are all I seem to find after midnight. Owl nebula in
O iii, Sii, is what's up tonight. Small. Galaxies and full moon. You know. Before midnight the southern nebula are slipping away. I'm tempted to purchase a larger mount and OTA soon. Thanks,!
Yep, but good news is in about 2 months the summer nebulas will be arriving and those are pretty snazzy! Trifid is one of my favorites and you can't not image the Lagoon Nebula!
AM5 and Askar 120 Triplet are on the way@
Oh that's a good combo, you going visual or photo with that set-up?@@mikehardy8247
Do you know if anyone uses Telescopius to do framing of objects for the Seestar S50? If so, do you know what settings they use for the telescope........I tried putting in the specs for the Seestar, but the telescope simulator in Telescopius comes no where close to the view I get in the image that the Seestar captures, got to be something in the cropping or program parameters that causes the disconnect. I found Telescopius helpful in picking targets for my Nikon DSLR and 300mm zoom so I could pick things that would show up a decent size and was hoping to do the same for the Seestar. Thanks.............Bill
It’s 9x16 framing at ~1600mm FF equivalent (it’s 250mm but with the tiny sensor).
Ok, but how do I get that information into Telescopius...........I see no place to set "framing"........I have a place to enter 'Telescope' and a place to enter 'Camera'. Is it just not possible to get Telescopius to show what Seestar would capture somewhat accurately? And what about Stellarium, will it show a representative frame if I use the 1600mm you suggest along with 50mm for the aperature? Sorry for the confusion, just trying to do a better job of picking targets. Thanks...............Bill
Got the settings to work with Stellarium by removing Seestar data from the sensor setting and just going with the numbers you gave me for the Telescope setting. I get a near exact frame view of the images that actually come out of the telescope..............great help, THANKS! Now I can do a much better job of planning what object to shoot knowing what I can expect to get. Still working on Telescopius for when traveling............will keep trying.
Super! Glad to of been able to help@@billmeador215
The filter is not good for galaxy photos.
I think the filter is primarily for nebulas, when the moon is out go with it anyways but I try not to use filters if I can.
would like some help on the station mode.
I can make a video showing the setup process, is there any specific you are having issues with so I make sure its explained?
@@EmberSkyMedia i just want to be able to be effective when showing these items to our outreach events on a screen or projector. as well, how are you interacting with the unit in your current video. i see a "tablet" view in the middle?
Did you ever work on this question?.
From reading, there is a RTMP mode @jay which can have multiple devices connect to it; I haven't tried it yet as I went with station mode for my videos. I use Reflector 4 to image my ipad / iphone to my computer; so you could then connect the computer to a projector.
I'll have a video soon but life is busy at the moment and the sky is cloudy.
@@EmberSkyMediaall good my friend.... was just curious as i had an event this friday and was trying to make some headway.
Don't wast time. You are doing segment on the S50...first...do your updates before you start. I have no interest in watching % going up...start you video when you are ready to go. I can understand UA-camrs who fail to edit or prepare for the clip they are about to make
This was a live stream… the goal was to show the whole process so people who know what to expect.
