ignore this if u made your drive mount but wouldn’t it be possible to take an exposure of just the stars. then take a long exposure of the dso you’re imaging. then remove the stars from the picture and add your star layer to the top to prevent trails? obviously your star layer would need to be short exposure but i think it could work to bring out more nebulosity in nebulas and more detail in galaxies
Ok so i just found this video by randomly having youtube autoplay on and the song at the beginning is awesome but i cant find it anywhere.. Whats it called?
Great shots, I've got an old 10" Newtonian on an EQ mount and as it happens a google Pixel phone. I've managed to shoot Jupiter and 4 of its moons. You've inspired me to have a go at a few DSO's
@Griff Evans I am having an EQ platform custom made for my heavy scope. It will track for 90 minutes, so longer exposures and stack will finally be possible! Good luck, the pixel is tricky to get the shot at first . Make sure the lens is directly in the center and squared. Thanks for watching. Please share this video.
@@GamesEveryday heya! did you make an EQ platform for you 12" dob scope? wow! Do you have any details on it? I`m with an 8" orion dob (203mm) and i think would be nice to mount it up on an EQ plat. Thank you in advance!
This telescope really brings you into the scene. It's worth every penny and they're on sale right now. Thank you very much for watching the video I have other videos on this telescope but with a ZWO camera really cool too please check it out.
@@GamesEveryday yeeyyyy, this means that I will still be eable to capture some nebulae and galaxies with a Dobsonian, cant wait cuz I bought a 10 inch dob
It's longer exposure. Live view is not long enough. You must balance between exposure time and brightness with this setup. Thanks for watching, really appreciate it.
@ M.J. O thanks for watching. I have stacked some photos, but without tracking it is a daunting task to manage. With a custom platform I will be able to get those nice long exposures... Soon.
Thank you for sharing. I had the opportunity to see a rocket launch in 2018. Incredible experience. I shared a pretty fun video of the trip to my page.
Great images, thanks for sharing! I recently purchased my first telescope, 10in Apertura dob. What eyepieces were you using to get some of those cluster and nebulae visuals? Looking for some recommendations as I'm ready to upgrade to better pieces. Thank you!
@TheMnewman93 thanks for watching! I use a 32mm plossl for most of these images, however I was using a smart phone adapter. Everything changes when you get into CMOS cameras. I suggest you do a lot of research and find the best eyepieces to match your aperture and focal length. I love using large 2"eyepieces @ 14 and 11mm to observe deep sky.
hi! i bought a 10", 254/1274 dobsonian, I will see more or less the same through the eyepiece? or i can see nebulas details (as in the photo) only with exposure of camera (processed images)? i want my telescope only for observation, not for astrophotografy
@SevnTV great to hear about the scope. Remember, your eye will have to become accustomed to that scope for a period before you can see DSOs well. You can see many nebulae and DSOs without long exposure. Great viewing!
@@GamesEveryday thank you for the answer! i will not use long or short exposure because i dont have a camera, my interest is only about observation, with my eyes ahahah so after this period my eye can see nebulas as in your photo? sorry if im bothering you but i bought this telescope because im in love with dsos, and it would be great for me can see colours of a nebula for ex. by naked eye
@@sevntv6818 no you can't, without increasing the exposure, even the Hubble won't be able to see. This is because the night sky is very dim for the human eye. With naked eye you can observe our solar system (planets and moons), but deep space needs processing and increased exposure even with the biggest and costliest telescopes. Hope that helps.
@SFS Films I used the Google pixel XL 2. The 'night sight' setting is about 3 to 4 seconds exposure. The telescope is: Explore Scientific 12 inch Dobsonian truss telescope. It is an amazing f/2 with a focal length of 1575. Thanks for watching. I have more videos upcoming with some more incredible shots with a Celestron 114mm EQ mount. Stay tuned.
@@GamesEveryday thanks for the info and good luck with future astrophotography. I hope to get a 12 inch apertura soon. Also the picture of the moon at 1:46 is absolutely stunning
@Christian P , I never use stacked photos. These are very short exposures. I do not have tracking on my telescope , so anything more than a few seconds causes star trails.
Very nice video. Thank you for posting great pictures. Also, can you make a future video with the astrophotography mode enabled in the pixel phone? Pixel 4 has astro mode in camera but I believe you have to download it for your pixel 2 phone. I dont have Pixel phone but heard good things about astrophotography mode. I see pixel astro photos on tripod but no one has attached their phone to a telescope like you did. Are these images processed on your pc? Can you show how it looks raw from phone compared to post-processing applied in your computer? Thanks! Liked and subscribed
I have tried the pixel 4 astrophotography mode. It doesn't work well with the telescope because it literally takes at least 10 seconds before you can shut it off therefore all of the stars are swiped across the picture. So therefore, even the Pixel 2 is much better in that respect because astrophotography turns on automatically with the p4 and the only way you can shut is off is by turning the compensation down. I do , however like the pixel 4 for wide angl sky shots, which I will be uploading very shortly. Thank you very much for viewing.
@moosa toor thanks for viewing. These shot are taken with a smart phone and an adapter for the telescope. I am in class 2 sky. Please like subscribe and share thanks
so i keep seeing online people recommending an 8" dobsonian as an ideal beginner telescope but am i right in thinking you get everything an 8" can do like planets etc but with the bigger size you also get the deep space stuff and also with higher detail and clarity? so what i am asking is if i save for something bigger than 8" do i get better planet viewing plus access to more distant space? or with the larger size do i lose something in terms of views of the planets? i hope this makes sense haha
@Fender Tone I have a smaller telescope and I have the 12-in dobsonian. The 12-inch dobsonian allows me deeper contrast and clear er images. You could still see the same things with a smaller dobsonian but it doesn't collect as much signal. The more signal you can collect the better contrast and clarity and detail. I'm glad I got the 12-in rather than the 8 because I feel like I would just want to go larger anyway. I hope this helps and thank you very much for watching I also plan on doing live star watching streams soon so please stay tuned.
@@GamesEveryday thanks for the reply, i am thinking i might save for something as good and as big as i can get because i doubt i will be getting many or ever more than one telescope in the foreseeable future, i'm just getting into this stuff so i appreciate the reply.
So, I suggest that you save up for something that you won't need to upgrade. Please keep in mind that you want to consider some kind of tracking. With my scope I had to purchase a platform to track the sky. It is expensive, but well worth it. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.
I purchased a 6 inch EQ mounted reflector (Orion Skyview 6) used for $200 2 years ago as my first telescope. I love it. As a full time RVer, it travels well and can be set up easily anywhere. I'm now looking to upgrade, knowing that packing/traveling will be harder. The 6 has been a great tool to learn with, and from, but I'm ready for more. I was once told that the best telescope is the one you'll use vs the one you hang your laundry on. Clear skies!
Hey man, love the content. I’m looking to purchase a telescope but I am completely new to astronomy but I am very interested. I have been looking at a few but am really unsure on what I’m actually looking for. I might go for the apertura d12 dobsonian, how would that compare to the sort of pics in this video. If you have got any other to tips for me it would be much appreciated. Thank you and keep up the good work🙏
@Eddy Taylor welcome to astronomy. The apatura is a good telescope. If you are looking to pursue astrophotography, I suggest a mounted schmidt cassagrain style. Thanks for watching.
Also, you want to keep in mind mobility. For example I like to take my telescope on vacation. I use the explorer scientific because it breaks down nice it's easily portable.
@@GamesEveryday thank you! One more question: could you share your photo configuration? Like exposure time, iso, focus. And how many frames to compose them ? Thank you in advance!
@Alexey Honorio I am in the process of producing a few videos and I have a lot of great new shots to share. I will gladly share my photo process as well in these videos. With the smart phone I believe that the focal length was greatly effected. With my more recent photos , using the ZWO camera, the photos are much closer to the object and FOV is more narrow. The smart phone was ,in a way, more easy to get cool photos. My process is still evolving as I am learning more about capturing the cosmos. Cheers and keep the questions coming.
@@GamesEveryday Nice! Im looking forward to see your shared content here! Im starting at this astrophotografy world and its really helpfull to check your tips. Clear skyies for you!
@Commonwealth You can use a camera that uses software on the laptop. I use the ZWO now, however, these photos were taken with a phone and a special smart phone adapter. Thanks for watching!
@Kekesushi Yes and no. Focal length plays a big part. This telescope is an f/5.5 , that is relatively fast. Make no mistake, a 10" can collect good signal. Be sure to cover all light that can lessen your contrast for those deep sky objects. Thanks for the sub, I really appreciate it.
@CosmicCow yes, the 10 inch dob will come close to this . It really depends on how dark your sky is and do you have artificial light to contend with. Use light shields and get the most contrast will make a big difference. Thanks for the sub.
Single pictures, taken with a Google pixel 2. There is a 4 second exposure on the night sight camera. Thank you so much for watching. I am working on some cool stuff for future videos.

Is the dob with a goto mount? This very important
It is not with a go-to. I am having a few platform built with tracking. Thanks for watching.

@Savjol Kanto. Yes, you will just have to play with exposure times. Good luck with your new telescope.
Great photos through a phone. How long were the exposures/shutter speeds. especially for the DSOs?
Is this a quick picture (live view basically) or a logner exposure
It's longer exposure. Live view is not long enough. You must balance between exposure time and brightness with this setup. Thanks for watching, really appreciate it.
