Video View of Comet Atlas A3 Through a 5 inch telescope and a sony A7s

This was the 1st night I found Comet Atlas. Oct 12th Western Wisconsin
I used my old 5 inch Orion Cassegrain Telescope and my Sony A7s
No eyepieces. Just prime.
C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) is a comet from the Oort cloud discovered by the Purple Mountain Observatory in China
Won't see it again for 80,000 years

Nice, my sister in-law could not see it in north Alabama. I sent the video to her. Thanks

[@scannerguy1968]

Cool, thanks much

[@steveengleman9257]

Great photography! The best I've seen on YT.

[@as680783]

Some of the best landscape shots I've seen of the comet. Those clouds make it look awesome!

[@MusicMom123]

Gorgeous. Thank you ! ☄️☄️☄️
I hope you're doing well.
Thinking of you !

[@scannerguy1968]

I am. I'm just happy all my kids are doing good. Life gets in the way of videomaking though. Thats for sure. Hope you are doing good. and thanks

[@MrPapergti]

Cool video. Was waiting for you to get us one. Thanks

[@scannerguy1968]

Thanks, have 2 more videos coming where it dimmed more. Wish I would of done the 12 inch scope on the 1st night tho instead of waiting until the comet dimmed too much

Wow!! Fantastic. I haven’t seen it yet. Too many apartment buildings in my area.

[@TysonD916]

This is super awesome. Your camera does amazing work

[@robindauzat6756]

Amazing. California here. I think we saw it too.

[@Chaos-Dynamics]

Nice 👌🏼

[@rudytheastro.5023]

Been observing this Comet here in the Philippines since late Sept, it was just surreal seeing it with the naked eye (i got pictures too).

[@falcon4548]

Just ran outside with my 10x binoculars… I spotted it !☄️

[@scannerguy1968]

Thats cool. Many people don't realize it is there

[@sheenamoffat6703]

Really interesting thanks

[@scannerguy1968]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@notozknows]

Sure is a lot of things flying around, are those all satellites? Nice view of the comet, very nice!

[@ThatOpalGuy]

most are starlink satellites

[@freddyking8742]

@@ThatOpalGuy They probably are, those satellites are really bad for astrophotography.

[@notozknows]

@@freddyking8742 I never knew this, maybe things I saw were sats, then.

[@freddyking8742]

@@notozknows If you have binoculars or have very good eyes you can see this buzzing around the skies all the time, there are so many of them. It is ruining astronomy. I am surprised this video picked them up so easily though.

[@Twobarpsi]

Great photo and footage!

[@scannerguy1968]

Many thanks!

[@mariannelabanane2589]

Thanks a lot for the video. I saw it (the Comet Atlas) from Quebec in Canada but it wasn't like that. The direction was different and it became black after maybe 10 minutes. It remained visible for approximately 25 minutes (like 10 minutes bright and 15 minutes black - did I see it right? I'm not sure for the black part ... ). It's nice that those who couldn't see it can see it on video :)

[@markhirsch1782]

Yes Thankyou!

[@nonsensicalnonsense4260]

@ 2:27 there are two flying crafts that when they cross paths, they immediately shoot across the sky. Located at back end of clouds by comet.

[@earthling-fh2mg]

What video settings are you using on the Sony A7s? That’s a very clean video.

[@scannerguy1968]

Ran in manual and 1/60th shutter speed and Iso in auto from 100 to 25,000. I think ISO was sitting at around 5000 only while through lens. Scope I turned ISO up to 40,000

[@goflyrc]

Vary cool! How do you do it?

[@Ike_C]

Great images from the Sony! What lens were you using with it?

[@scannerguy1968]

Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 Lens

[@bobsambo7543]

What the heck are all those stars moving every which way in your video?
Those are more intriguing than the comet!

[@scannerguy1968]

Some are satellites. Some, its hard to tell just what's going on

[@lornaz1975]

You got a shot of the anti tale at 2:30. You still have your 12in dob?

[@motionsick]

What is this "dark night" lens you speak of?
