Aww, so sad that you’re gone Antoine but good to still see you in the video, LOL. Hope you enjoy your family & Dalia looking forward to whatever videos you bless all us Subscribers with. Be blessed & safe….
Since I'm half German, I knew it was Georg (Gee-ORG with a hard short G at the start). Safe travel Antoine. Looking forward to seeing solo videos Dalia.
@@GalacticHunter If the PE is smooth enough, yes you could use a longer exposure. The only way to know that for sure is to run PHD2 without guiding to get an idea of the maximum drift rate in RA. Also, you'll need to have a polar alignment that is spot on. Clear skies!
Congrats on being gifted that fine mount. I will be getting mine around Nov. Which is fine since I dont like imaging in this high Vegas heat. I look forward to seeing more videos of your 10Micron experience.
It's nice to see some of the "not-as-popular" targets featured. Nearly everyone has a "Check out my North America Nebula!"... I had to look this one up because I'd never seen or heard of it. Of course, since this is my first year with the mono camera and narrowband filters... well, I'm the guy shooting the North America and Eagle and all the popular targets 😂. Safe travels to France, Antoine, and looking forward the the Dalia solo videos!
I’ve seen guys get the EQ6 down to sub 0.4” RMS. 0.6” isn’t great out of the box for this mount (no PE and backlash because of the absolute encoders). I’m looking to get this mount so I’m really happy you guys have one. Looking forward to seeing how guiding improves over time. MountWizard4 especially.
We used to live in an apartment and had to drive out of the city every time :/ When we bought the house, a good enough backyard was the #1 priority lol
Even with what you describe as less-than-optimal alignment, and with a 130 payload on the mount, your total RMS was at one point 0.16? 0.16?? 0.16??? Im both sincerely happy for you and overwhelmed by shameless jealousy! Anyway, congrats!
You motivated me to image NGC 6820 and it turned out great. But this nebula needs a name! I see a head facing left that looks like Shrek. What do you think about naming it the Shrek Nebula? I think I'll try posting my image on AstroBin and see if the name gets any feedback.
Nice video! 2 questions: - Do you think shooting flats using a large screen tv would work? - The spots on your pictures look just like mine. Have you had any luck cleaning them out of the optical train? If so, how did you do that?
I would think with that mount, unless its the 2000 that can do it. You can do unguided imagery. I have seen on forums some can do 30 minute unguided subs, be curious if you can do that with that 1000, again unless its the 2000 on up that is capable of that.
I live in Tucson and my ASI533 can't reach -5 in the Summer. During the monsoons, I reshot my darks library at 0*. Did you notice any difference? I haven't had a chance to check yet.
I also have a GM1000 and you really don't need to guide, it is completely unnecessary with a mount that has encoders and can do sky models. I've imaged up to 5 min subs with a CDK12.5 completely unguided. That scope has 2541mm of focal length and I get perfect stars. You should really look into building a model and dumping that woefully inadequate guider!
I definitely need to learn to make models, but I just don't want to have to redo the models every time I setup. I have no issue with guiding for now but yes I should make models and never look back I guess 😅 Which modeling program is your favorite?
Bro what are you doing with that Chinese piece of dirt use the software you got do 25 points is well enough is like All-Star alignment from Celestron your tracking will be way better and polar alignment join the Facebook group I got my GM2000 in March 2020
😍😍😍😍😍 very nice photo from NGC
So cute to see Gilbert expertly using the stepping stones. Please show more of him. And congrats on the new mount. Love your channel.
Superb video 💖😍😁 thank you for sharing 🙏😀🎉🎉🎉 clear skies 🎁🎁🎁
Hope the trip to France went well. Please be safe and mask when you go out.

I think the colors are beautiful. Stay safe, clear skies.

What an amazing image great job guys. I just got an asi533 mc pro. Soo excited. Clear skies for both of you.
Thank you and great camera!! have fun
@@GalacticHunter stay safe on your journey
NINA has a great polar alignment plugin and you can even use your object for the night as part of the 3 star polar alignment.
I’m looking forward to watching Dalia’s solo videos! Also, bad polar alignment cannot cause spikes in DEC, it was probably just seeing…
Thank you, that might have been it then! With this mount I should probably do 5-6 sec on PHD2 instead of 2-3s

Those pillars and Boc globules are gorgeous. And from the Bortle 8-9! Happy travels Antoine.
beautiful rendition! lovely looking target.
Beautiful shot of the nebula, those dark pillars are fascinating!!
Awesome image (as always). Enjoy your time in France!
Congratulations on your new equipment
Beautiful image! Safe travels!
Excellent work
That's such a nice picture, I haven't seen this imaged a lot and it looks really cool, those pillars are my favorite.
Thanks! Yes a beautiful nebula!
You probably Should Hug Your, "Associate", who seems to love the same things you do. Great Team Effort. Thank you for the share
Haha good point :D
Nice job guys... might need to add that target to the list :)
Beautiful!
Thanks!
Have a safe trip, congrats on the mount.
Thank you!!
Amazing.
Very good

Very Nice Thumbnail pic 👏☺️👍
Nobody else in the Astro community is doing these kinds of thumbnails! Keep up the good work and videos 😉😊😊🙏👍
Thank you!! I actually was very happy with how that thumbnail turned out hehe :D
Wow. I have an AZEQ5 - 10% of the cost - and I usually get ~0.6 guiding… maybe my setup is better than I thought!
Great video as always guys!

I saw your ‘Tangled Up In Blue’ image in the September issue of Astronomy. Very nice💫
You already have the September issue? I need to get it because I haven't seen the feature yet :D
You two are adorable.
Wow !!! Amazing image! So how do you like the Rolls Royce... actually Toyota Land Cruiser of mounts (10Micron)?
👍 Nice but we miss the french channel 😉
Living in las vegas as well but my backyard is not big enough to photograph. Will definitely be looking for a new place with a bigger backyard

Next video unguided high-res imaging?
At some point I can imagine that micron mount on a pier in your….Observatory!

He misses his mount more than his other half?!?! J/K, enjoy the trip.
Nice video!
2 questions:
- Do you think shooting flats using a large screen tv would work?
- The spots on your pictures look just like mine. Have you had any luck cleaning them out of the optical train? If so, how did you do that?
Which program do you use to visualize the field of view at 0:50?
I would think with that mount, unless its the 2000 that can do it. You can do unguided imagery. I have seen on forums some can do 30 minute unguided subs, be curious if you can do that with that 1000, again unless its the 2000 on up that is capable of that.
Just a few notes... it seems that you didn't use the balance routine... nor the modeling... and I'm surprised that you had to use a guide scope...
Thanks for the video...are you going to sell the atlas mount?
Oh no we're keeping the Atlas for life, it never failed us and we plan on using the Atlas for about half of our videos as an entry-level mount
I live in Tucson and my ASI533 can't reach -5 in the Summer. During the monsoons, I reshot my darks library at 0*. Did you notice any difference? I haven't had a chance to check yet.
Sorry about the airplane.
Do you take darks and flats for each of the 3 filters or without any of them?
For flats, each filter. For darks, doesn't matter at all
@@GalacticHunter Thanks for your answe!
What's the point of buying a 10.000 Euro mount if you still need guiding .... 10micron is supposed to work up to 20 minutes without guiding ...
“Guiding was good at 0.6”. Seriously? I get it with AVX.
What about modeling sky with 100+ points and making 30 min unguided shots?

When I come back in 2 months I'll try using models, haven't had the time to dig into it yet but yes for sure it will help! Facebook group joined also
yo antoine i just realised who you look like. you should shave your head and you'd look like triple H from the WWE lol
