Got into this Hobby only about 9 months ago!! Been a Rabbit Hole but a good one!! Could not do it without your videos Trevor!!!
Appreciate that, Rick! Clear skies!
The transition from the red light on the mount to the core of the whirlpool was so good!
it felt good in the edit
Smoooooooooooth
@@AstroBackyardi think i saw the ISS cause when i used sterrlium the ISS was high in south and i looked up and i saw some bright thing moving east
Galaxy Season can be a bit frustrating for owners of small refractor telescopes. On a clear night, it's often challenging to find suitable targets because everything appears either too small or too dim. I can understand why you opted for the big pipe.
This galaxy season I decided to buy something with more reach. Scared of collimation,, I got the Askar 120 APO triplet.
Can confirm at 70mm f6 :D :(
@mikehardy8247 So you are into triplets huh?
Very inspirational, Travor.
What a beautiful hobby! I have a 14" Dobsonian and 12" SCT....I'm more of a visual observer ...but slowly getting into astrophotography...
Clear skies everybody!
Which one do you use for astrophotography? I know a photographer that has an manual 14" dob and takes amazing planetary images, and I've seen some amazing photos from 12" SCTs. Hope the best for you!
@@joshmccollumastrophotography I took some nice pictures of the lunar surface with the 14" and some decent picture of DSO with the 12" SCT.... I'm just a beginner...I'm learning and it's getting better and better...all I wish right now is more clear night and to get a dedicated astro camera. Right now I'm practicing with a Canon 5D mark III.
The last processing timelapse with that music track was just *chefs kiss.
WOW what a first image!!
Galaxy season is here baby!!!
Wow you make everything seem so easy. Amazing results.
Have an 8" Orion Astrograph reflector. That scope has given me so many great images! Your vids are an inspiration! Keep it up!
What an incredible image!!! You're an inspiration to so many of us!!! Thank you!
Once again your editing and music montage is effing on point ! I love the Red Light of the mount blending into the center of the Whirlpool Galaxy !! Your an inspiration !
Awesome! I love reflectors. Great video. Clear sky’s!
Great explaining and a very interesting video!
True. For galaxies you need that aperture. I am very happy with my GSO RC10. Thanks for sharing!
I appreciate your channel and videos so much, I’ve been looking to get an 8 inch Celestron Dob as my first. Your knowledge has helped me learn and even grew my interest in astronomy!
Nice! I have a vintage Meade 645 f/5 so I'm looking forward to this installment!
What an inspiring job and how lucky that you can capture galaxies from the patio of your house, here in the patio we don't always have that luck. Greetings from Colombia
Absolutely beautiful! I've been trying to capture M81 the past few nights myself, and even though my gear can't get me anywhere close to that detail, it's just incredibly enjoyable to sit outside watching the stars and seeing a galaxy appear on the screen that you otherwise can't see. Super excited though, I've finally got a 533MC-P coming my way! : D
Clear skies!
Nice shot man came out great i like to see reflector shots 👌
Wow Taylor, amazing, have watched so many of yours and others great videos, but this one with the first 120s exposure of the M51 is mind blowing! Size and aperture both matters! This is like an earth based Hubble 😂
I started astrophotography about 3 months ago and i can only say i learned so much from your channel, from setting up a telescope, choosing the right camera, photo proccesing exc. Ofcourse, i still have so much to learn but your channel made me progress much faster, and i kinda started this hobby because of your channel. It was the trigger i needed and i definetely dont regret it. I'd say this channel is best on youtube, for beginners and pro's also. Clear skies !
Great video as always.
Wow!! Wow!! Wow!!! I’m in awe and speechless!
outstanding work!
Recently started capturing moon with my small telescope and t3i, your videos are big inspiration to start with whatever available as long as the passion is there. Waiting for many more videos, clear skies!
Thanks for another fun video!!
Great video as always! I've been using my SW 8" 200P and 294mc pro. I've installed some upgrades, like a new focuser and primary, secondary mirror holder and it's been awesome for Galaxy season!
You absolutely inspire me. Last night I got my first ever bodes galaxy image. Stacked and processed it and it looked amaaaaazing!
Wow. You nailed this!
YOUR Videos are just outer-worldly, quite literally. THANK YOU!
Oh my goodness!!! Well done Trevor
Wow. Amazing how fast that scope is. nice job
I struggle with these tiny faint things but you owned it! Great image!!!
Great result!
Utterly amazing images Trevor!
Thank you, Todd!
yea my dream telescope !Thank you for this amazing video great job !! Beautiful M51 Thanks!
Trevor this is phenomenal! I recently purchased the 294mc pro and it works wonders with my 10” f/4. Similar image scale too. Your videos over the years have helped me immensely in my astrophotography journey. It was great meeting you at NEAF this year. Keep up the great work!
Truly mind blowing
It is totally new to me, that you could really take such images without an observatory. Im blown away to say the least. Great content! As an astronomy geek, you have me almost double dared to get into this hobby myself! Thx for sharing your experiences!
That is an insane scope and what a pic man!!
THAT is a great shot!!!! Way to go Trevor
Man space is Soooo beautiful, surly this is our destination
Good reflector very nice!! and eq8 the beast mount!!❤️😉💪🔭🔝
Thanks for sharing!
Nice work Trevor!
Amazing sir, we appreciate your work, and patience to create such a wonderful image
Thank you!
Trevor that is a wicked image!!!
I love watching your videos. I'm really into astrophotography. I don't have any tools so I watch all of these videos. It gives me a sense of ease.
Wow....!!! That final image is INSANE!! 😯🤯😍
Didn't expect to see a reflector especially that size. Well done!
So talented! I tried to shoot M51 before with a reflector telescope. In the end, it came out as a very noisy, unclear image. I tried processing it more, and it got even worse! I might try some time again thanks to this helpful video. Thanks Trevor. Keep the great videos coming!!!
Thank you my friend! Clear skies
@@AstroBackyard Thank you for the reply! I appreciate it.
@@AstroFrontyard He doesnt give a damn of your poor results.
Don't be so salty
awesome you two
I love my 200mm reflector! From DSLR to dedicated astro cameras, it has always performed, as long as it is colimated and cooled before imaging.
I have the 200P and the Starizona reducer and that’s a beast. Dread to think what this feels like! Great video as usual and M51, Trevor.
This is my favorite galaxy and this photo is crazy gg
wow, thats some power!
I'm still a beginner in astrophotography after getting deep into observing, but I don't need any reason to watch Trevor's videos, even if I'm a beginner and don't have all that equipment. I just find this channel kind of addictive. Just keep it up ❤
The word great fails to describe your photo of M51. As always, you have inspired me to keep going! I look forward to seeing more from you.
With a "cheap collimator" make sure it's actually collimated or the telescope won't be either. You can also try using the big Newtonian for planets (with a PowerMate instead of a reducer).
Looking at the image you got makes me want to see a lot more from that telescope. Wow.
Great video. I love big scopes. I hope you try it on planets this summer
Mind blowing 😮
Love your all your videos! Are you planning a video about the ASKAR 65PHQ? I'm looking at small refractors and I was wondering about your opinion..
So nice 😍
Great results, can you make a video also explaining the editing? thank you!
Great image!!
Hello Trevor.
I'm glad to see a mirrored telescope in this video.
Clear skies.
That final image is CRAZY.
👏awesome
That's a wow!
So timely! I got an 8", f/4 newtonian (mostly as "very portable visual scope") and now of course I want to use it for imaging ;D Plenty of good tips here, such as "camera down"). The pic is outstanding!!
Wow what a picture
Those SW Quattro telescopes are quite amazing instruments. I got my 10" Quattro a couple of years ago and paired it with the Starizona 0.75x corrector. My APO refractor has been collecting dust since that time 😊😊
F/3! I get goose bumps just thinking about it!
Hi Trevor. Thanks a lot for this great video. Can't stop watching it. I just received my Quattro 300p. I ordered it thanks to you. I will install it this weekend on top of an EQ8-R too. My ROR observatory is in southern France and the sky is pretty good here. I also loved the timelapse music at the end. Could you please let me know which one it is? Regards, Cedric
amazing photo trevor! cant wait to get my first galaxy. one day soon
Thank you, clear skies!
It pleases me to no end to see You stricken with aperture fever.😮
Good job. ( building a 600mm dob here)
That's been my next scope for a while That's is very nice
Awesome photo bud. We always pick the same targets haha. I’m excited to show you mine, hopefully this weekend provided tonight and tomorrow night remain clear for me to finish RGB.
Other than aperture, we are similar in focal length+speed. I like to run anywhere from 60-90sec exposures on mono for good results, and just put up with storage space after the fact. I’m sure you could get away with the same since yours is faster with bigger aperture.
Finally! I've been hoping you would do Newtonian for years haha. I bought a $300 coma corrector years ago and still haven't figured out how to use it correctly. If there's any way you could do a video about coma correctors and backspacing I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one that would be in your debt haha 🙏🤞
Loved this video.
Aha, a storage unit!!!! Was wondering where you stashed all your stuff.
Hi Trevor! Love the image you got, the detail in it is awesome, and the amount of deep, faint parts of the galaxy that you can see... anyways, I have a few questions.
I'm still on the hunt for buying a newtonian, and from many different forums, I've heard that collimating and getting to work an f/4 newtonian is a big hassle, even compared to f/5. This also includes the coma corrector, which if it is actually good and corrects the full image circle well, is going to be expensive. So my question is, what is your experience with using such a giant, how's the collimation, which is even worse at f/3, did you have any tilt issues? I've heard that at f/4 using a cheap laser collimator doesn't work precisely enough to get the full potential of the telescope's detail. One last question, with the 4/3 sensor camera you used with the nexus 0.75x coma corrector/reducer, how were the stars on the edge of the field, are they well corrected? Thanks in advance.
Alright, this just won, my favourite deep sky astrophotography pic I have ever seen. Thank you for this Trevor and Wife.
Hey Trevor I started Astrophotography in November but because of your videos my astrophotography is a long term. And also what Barlow lens you recommend?
Awesome job!
So you use the goto function to find things or slew manually?
Epic!!!
Wow! That is a crazy beautiful image Trevor. And that scope is a beast. Too intimidating for me and my mount. However, 12” of aperture and f/3 is tempting! Dr B from Manitoba, Canada 🇨🇦
Hi there, nice setup and final image. After initial focus , How did you manage focusing with an F 3 setup throughout this session without an auto-focuser?
The man I thought was immune to aperture fever falls... Nice image!! 👍👍
So jealous of some of the targets you get in the Northern Hemisphere.. I have had 1 go at that one but where I am it never makes it more than about 30 degrees above the horizon. Great shot.
I want to get a 12" reflector at some point, after my ROR is built. I just bought an ASI2600MC Duo, it eliminates a separate guide scope and camera. Keep up the inspiring videos.
10:50 oh my f*ing God !!!!!!! this is amazing
Wow! 🤩
That was... insane. 900mm at f/3? I felt your excitement over that first 2m sub.
A huge newt like that belongs in a permanent observatory though. I can't possibly imagine myself hauling that monster in and out every night.
NICE!!!
YO. That's an absolutely mind-blowing result: both the 120s sub and the final image! 🤯
NEWTS FOR LIFE!!!
Wow 😳
muito Bom Parabens.
Awesome
