Great video! I just started Planetary Photography and have the ZWO 662mc I use it with the Celestron 9.25 SCT and a 2x TeleExtender. I used this setup once a few weeks ago successfully but still need to work on processing for better results.
I’d love to see some unboxing vids when you get new equipment. Also I would love to see what it looks like when you are in the field! What’s it like when you are actually taking the photos?
Great camera review. I was curious if you've had an opportunity to review these two full-frame ZWO cameras: ASI2400MC Pro & ASI6200MC Pro? Thanks for your time and insight.
Sir, please consider a video on the BEST color and/or B&W VIDEO cameras FOR Planetary work - Thank you: this video is extremely helpful. I am a subscriber - again, thank you.
Great video. I took your thoughts and bought the Player One Saturn-M for solar imaging with my dedicated solar telescope. When planet season returns, I’ll put camera on my 14” Edge HD. Thanks. I subscribed
Ok, now, how about a new video on what you would suggest as good quality cameras for guiding - as in adding a video camera to an accessory telescope, used for guiding - thank you - or one of the auto guide packages. :0))
I am very new to this area and just trying to get my head around all of the tech needed and figuring out what I need and can afford to get. Cuiv, the lazy geek had a video about a Touptek planetary camera with the IMX662 colour sensor. He found it worked very well as an off axis guider for his telescope, outperforming his 290 and a guide scope. But he hadn't tested the 662 with a guide scope. Do you think the 662 or any other similarly performing colour sensor could be used with a guide scope? I'm starting off with a mirrorless main camera, so won't be using an OAG. Thanks.
I think the 662 could work as a guide scope, although your results could be mixed since it has the RGGB filters over the pixels. Star intensity might vary depending on where it is. Mono sensors like the asi174mm or asi120mm don't have that issue. The 662 is certainly better than nothing! Thank you for your thoughts!
I would like to start moon and planetary fotography. I have SW 150p Quattro 600mm and was thinking of ZWO ASI715 and a 2x and 3x focal extender from Explore Scientific the 2” version. Would that work?
Great setup! Definitely go for the 3x focal extender with this setup as that will get you closer to the ideal balance of brightness and detail. A 4x may be the perfect focal extender but 3x should still do very well.
No, those are final images, likely stacked with 100s -1000s of frames and then post processed. People don't tend to post raw frames as they don't look that great and the goal is not to get 1 goof frame in lucky imaging. Even the lunar images contains many subs.
It is also great! I thought about that one a lot, but ultimately, sample images convinced me that the 662 was the best value in that category/price point. If I went mono, I'd have to go all the way with the Saturn M, but that's me.
@spacetechtips I have 174 MM Cool, 462 MM, 533 MM Pro and perfect 585 MC. Never again QHY 😅 I think of those cameras It is an excellent choice for planetary and DSO imaging. I have everything I need and some of the cameras in your selection are also not missing😅

Great setup!
Great break down, can't wait to see your planetary captures
Thank you! I can't wait too!
It makes me so happy to see you doing this!

Thank you for the ideas and watching the video! I'll work on it!
The ASI585MC is the best i have tried and i have tried quite a few.
Thanks for your input!

You just got another sub❤ i love your videos
Thank you so much!

Thank you for subscribing! I will definitely think about that concept. Thank you!
GREAT video - thank you.
i got the saturn c on a evolution 9,25. Its amazing!
Fantastic! Thank you

Wow, your setup is amazing! Clear skies!
Can you do a playlist for the gear you need for astrophotography at different budget tiers?
Yeah, that sounds good! I'll start thinking about it.
Hello, I just found this channel as I’m putting scissors to the celestron neximage 10. I paused. What’s wrong with it?
This may be a dumb question, please excuse my ignorance but are these actual cameras or just attachments for cameras?
@@stephenraines2365 actual cameras

@@spacetechtips Thanks for your advice!
What scope are you using with your camera choice
I'll be using the EdgeHD925. I also have a x2 powermate, though, to get the focal ratio to f/20.

Thanks a lot.
I would assume for honesty all the images shown are straight unprocessed unfiltered images?
They were the images I found off of astrobin. I only have access to the final images.

224 is discontinued..
And ASI 462 MM too...

Why did you add noise to your audio track? Explain to me how that makes it easier to hear what you saying. Use your brain ..
A lot of youtube videos add music, so I tried it out. Good to know it doesn't add anything.
