The Best Refractor Under $400? | PLUS GALAXY PROCESSING TUTORIAL

Check out the awesome SVBONY SV503 70ed! I was absolutely blown away by the structure of the telescope, quality of the lens, and even the quality of the images after only a few hours of exposure time with a DSLR! Imagine what you could do with an even better astro camera with this scope!

Great video! Your explanation of the processing is incredibly clear and insightful. I appreciate how you've shed light on the accessibility of astrophotography, especially highlighting the potential of the SV305 70ED telescope. It's inspiring to see how quality doesn't always have to come with a hefty price tag. Keep up the excellent work!

I have the SV503 80ED and it's great! Especially when imaging in monochrome. Since it's not a APO you may not want to do detail work using a color camera, though I had decent results using a DSLR before I bought a dedicated astronomy camera. Excellent value for the money. As always, for imaging put 3x or 4x the money into your mount than you put into your telescope.

Love that you are expanding from the Seestar! I have No hate for for the s50, but its pretty rad that you wanna get more hands on with a rig.

Thank you! Trying to expand the content to gain more audience. Hope it works! 🤞🏼

Wonderful video, Scott. I'm using a SeeStar and want to do post processing to my images for more detail. I own Photoshop CS6, and understand there are some astro plugins available. Or, should I just download dedicated astro software like $$ Pixinsight or free Siril? Your thoughts please.... Michael Edmonds

[@ScottCastrophotography]

Pixinsight definitely has some cool extra features, but I'd definitely work on learning Siril first if you haven't done processing before. It's definitely a gateway to learning pixinsight

[@michaeledmonds3027]

Thanks so much, Scott...I will do that!

[@michaeledmonds3027]

Hey Scott....I'm trying to learn Siril (for SeeStar). Pixinsight lists some "fantasy" PC requirements: 16 core i9, 32GB ram, 27" 4k monitor....as minimum. Is that for real, or can you run Pixinsight on a standard laptop? I have a 13th gen i7, 16GB ram, and 2K 14" screen. Thanks, Michael

The SvBony sv305 70ed is a fine optical tube! And, it is inexpensive. Every one should buy one.

Agreed!
