[jagged glen]

Smoke from wildfires in Alberta and British Columbia Canada have moved all the way over to Toronto Ontario and are blotting out what was gonna be a clear night. ☹️ however, the smoke made a natural solar filter and I was able to set my camera up on a tripod and just take photos with no equipment at al

ISO not sure it was set on auto
Shutter speed 1/4000
F11 or smthn I forgot

Not sure why they won’t appear as a photo

[jagged glen]

Here's some processing

[median perch]

well i was trying to get m81 and m82 with a bloody celestron astromaster 70az which is a manual scope , obviously it was basically zenith when i was trying to capture it , and on top of that monstrosity, i had foxes running up and down the next door neighbours garden , it frightened the absolute life out of me as i couldn’t see a thing , worst astrophotography experience ever

[austere parcel]

next time get a dob for visual and for astrophotography ask a nerd

[median perch]

i don’t do visual , i’m waiting on a swsa gti mount and a roki 135mm f2 lens , this is the only scope i have and i wanna do some sort of astrophotography

am i not allowed to mention astrophotography here? lmao

[austere parcel]

no you are
I was talking about the scope

I said ask a nerd becuase I am not a nerd
I didn't mean to ask in ask_a_nerd

[median perch]

ohhh sorry my bad yeah ik what u mean

[austere parcel]

I should have worded it better
my fault
sorry

[median perch]

oh no dw it’s okay it was my take on it lol i thought you meant something different, but nah i’m not asking for help or tips or anything i’m just sharing my sheer terror and fear i experienced when trying to photograph a pair of galaxies

ik i didn’t know i was goona wanna do astrophotography ngl

but i’m waiting on a gti mount to come , within 10-15 working days so that’s great

[austere parcel]

@median perch unless you're gonna take tons of exposures, the bigger the aperture the better as the more aperture, the more light can enter it.

[median perch]

are you talking about the astromaster or the roki?

but if you’re talking about the roki i’ll be spending hours outside shooting , if you’re talking about the astromaster then i use an iphone to take photos anyway

but what one was you talking about ?

[austere parcel]

astromaster

[untold elk]

Hii i have clicked these 2 images same time, same settings, same place and almost same viewing condition but while editing both images i am getting different results on mineral deposition what should I do? Thank you

Almost full moon is my first mineral moon image which is better than the first. Why is this happening?

In monochrome it's okish for me but mineral moon image its getting ruined 😭. Here is the monochrome image(made it monochrome)

[idle violet]

Moon

One image.

[untold elk]

Nicee👌

[pale tiger]

How are you all doing? I am still quite new to this and am trying to learn, so thanks for your patience lol. I was doing some shots on Rho Ophiuchi with a 55mm lens, got about 160x90s exposures at ISO 400. I did calibration with flats darks and bias, that I know I did them properly but I could be wrong about that. I do live in a city with a pretty high bortle rating, so that could be the cause of it. But I am just really not happy with how it is turning out, there seems to be a distinct lack of detail. I have included a link with my stacked image as well as the processed image (to the best of my current abilities) do you have any input? Thanks https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HYBm80pCMOi0kkRObbGd1qhna1Iejvwa/view?usp=sharing

My best pic of venus so far

taken with 4mm eyepeice+3x barlow lens on a powerseeker 70az

[twin charm]

i had the same issue. (Kinda) i just lowered saturation and brightness a little and it removed it for me

I took it with my iphone 7 btw

looked like this before I edited it

Didnt need to stack at all

(not bragging ab it)

[twin charm]

Damn

[fleet vortex]

let me try on this thang

yea idk what to do autostrech dont really show anyhting

[pale tiger]

Lol thanks for trying

I think it’s most likely just me needing to use lower fstop plus less light pollution plus more exposure time

[fleet vortex]

more exposures

what bortle

[sharp berry]

But how you did that ? mine can't even do that.

[mortal ginkgo]

You need an android that has a pro/expert mode in it

[sharp berry]

Ohh mine doesn't support that 😞

[mortal ginkgo]

Oh damn

But if you did have on

*one

[sharp berry]

Want to be friends ?

[mortal ginkgo]

This is the settings I'm pretty sure

[sharp berry]

I am just a student so I don't have mobile which can support that

[mortal ginkgo]

Ok

[sharp berry]

Does bsc student is in college or in school ?

[mortal ginkgo]

Probably college

[sharp berry]

Ohh

I send you friend req

Already

[gloomy lantern]

Caldwell 77 untracked from Bortle 8

Southern Pinwheel Galaxy

[sharp berry]

What equipment you have man

I am here waiting for my pair of binoculars 😞

You are also from India huh

[gloomy lantern]

yep

[sharp berry]

Friends ?

[gloomy lantern]

Sure

[sharp berry]

Already send req

[gloomy lantern]

Yep accepted it

Btw do you any website to buy tracker Mounts?

[sharp berry]

No man I am broke

[gloomy lantern]

🤝same

[sharp berry]

I am buying binoculars of ₹ 2,445

[gloomy lantern]

What magnification?

[sharp berry]

10x60

Offbrand

[gloomy lantern]

I had a 7x one too but I lost it while changing houses

[sharp berry]

I will return it if it's not 10x60

[austere parcel]

I'm technically from India too
My family moved when I was like 1 to the UK and now we're british citizens

[gloomy lantern]

The optics wouldn't be good too considering it's price

[austere parcel]

so...

[gloomy lantern]

Lucky

Can't find astro gear ffs in India

[sharp berry]

How's the weather in your area then ?

[gloomy lantern]

Mine?

[sharp berry]

Ya it's reall rare to find astrogear in india

@austere parcel no weather in his area and yours too

[gloomy lantern]

Tejraj.com is pretty good but they don't sell tracking mounts for some reason

[sharp berry]

Plus it's so expensive in india

Like 10000 ₹ for telescope

[austere parcel]

idk
ebay?

[gloomy lantern]

10K will only get you a bare bones telescope

With optics comparable to a dishwasher

[sharp berry]

10 k for crappy telescope?
Sorry NO

[austere parcel]

look used

pls

[gloomy lantern]

Used ones are pretty difficult to find here as astrophotography comes into niche category

https://www.tejraj.com/product/gso-16-professional-dobsonian-telescope

16inch Dobsonian for just 140K inr 🤤

[sharp berry]

JUST 140K !!!!!!????????
YOU MUST BE RICH!!!!!!!???!!!

[austere parcel]

That's a way better price than UK afaik

[grave nacelle]

You underestimate how expensive thing here gets. A single coma corrector which is not so big. About 2 inches wide is sold for almost 200 euros lol

[sharp berry]

Sorry my father I farmer and I am 18 year old bsc student waiting for my college starts so it's too much for ME !!!!

*father is

[austere parcel]

I understand
my dads brother is a farmner

my dad isn't tho nor my mum

[gloomy lantern]

Not really, you'll have to spend quite a bit if you want to buy decent gear

[untold elk]

Check explore scientific 16 inch Dobson it's a truss tube model also

[fleet vortex]

good call on binocs

get a phone adapter sooner or later

and a tripod to do EAA

[uncut torrent]

my humble first attempt from a while ago

Canon 1000d
80/400 achro

[gloomy lantern]

Yep I've seen that too

It's around 20K more iirc

Caldwell 80 Cluster (untracked)

[untold elk]

Ohh ok

I suggested it cuz it's transportation better than the gso due to fully truss design

[half goblet]

I DID IT

I DID THE THING

i do think it looks a tad out of focus though

Sequator4Life

[gloomy lantern]

Yeah but I'd rather buy an apo refractor or a SCT telescope because assembling the truss tube would easily take more than 30 mins (also it weighs around 40kg)

M4 cluster(untracked) from Bortle 8 skies

Sadly Histogram strech introduces a lot of noise due to light pollution

[jagged glen]

My first attempt at a long term project, 5 hours, 58 mins and 53 seconds of data, lots of calibration frames and whatnot, lots of issues with background noise as I live in a bortle 8-9 area so its pretty tricky but Im pretty proud of it. Evoguide 50 ed and canon rebel SL1 and syvbony clip in light pollution filter.

quality is bad cause i had to convert it to a jpg to send it

(Heres the full quality one if u want to see it)

[fleet vortex]

thats good

here was my first attempt with a phone, eqm-35, and my 134mm ota

2.8hr exposure

[jagged glen]

Thanks man

[jagged glen]

Nice

[fleet vortex]

i tried processing your photo too

[jagged glen]

Oooh how’d it come out

[jagged glen]

The one I sent was the photoshopped one but when I’m home I can send the non photoshopped version

[fleet vortex]

please send that instead

your galaxy was super bright and it revealed no detail, only large structure

[jagged glen]

Yeah I’ll be home soon I’ll send it then

[jagged glen]

@fleet vortex heres one i had to play with the midtone cause there was so much bsckground noise the second one is with no changes pretty sure, also might be distorted a little i have to check that one again

second one is just the stack

[fleet vortex]

Okay I'll stack it when I get home

[fleet vortex]

i do not think i can process it

[jagged glen]

yeah thats fine its a bit of a pain the data isnt very good

[sharp berry]

It's beginner place and you all have telescope and I only have 10x60 binoculars with no stand I can't do astrophography 😭😭😭

But stargazing is cool tbh

Binos are so fun to use,i use them more than my scope

[fleet vortex]

hey be happy you got the binos

next is the tripod

[sharp berry]

Yes I am happy

But Orion is not even in night sky

[fleet vortex]

orion?

there are way better things than orion

[gloomy lantern]

Omega Centauri

[sly frost]

Isn't it spelled Centauri instead of Centaurus?

[gloomy lantern]

yep my bad

[gloomy lantern]

Same photo but with less deep fried look

[sharp berry]

I was not complening I am just saying that I can't wait to see the Orion nebula 😆

[gloomy lantern]

Better processed M4

[fleet vortex]

It is bright

[slate timber]

Same dude only got 10x50 binos and a dslr with a 105mm lens

[tawdry slate]

that looks pretty good! keep it up!

[slate timber]

Mad good indeed

Been a month and a half since i did astro gosh these clouds wont leave

And now my dobis coming its still gonna be cloudy

[sharp berry]

But I don't have dslr

[slate timber]

Well enjoy bino stargazing

I did that for 3years before buying a dob

[gloomy lantern]

Lagoon and Trifid Nebula (untracked) from Bortle 7-8 skies

I do love anime

[sly frost]

Wow, what equipment did you use?

[coral frigate]

what do you think about my frist stack ever
M 13
200 frames
Exposure=190,2800ms

[sly frost]

Epik

[fleet vortex]

did you post process

[coral frigate]

yes but in gimp and i`m very bad at it

[fleet vortex]

send the tiff to me

and what you used so i can do photometric color calibration

[coral frigate]

8" dobson without tracking with asi 224mc

[fleet vortex]

good choice on the asi224mc

focal length of your dob?

[coral frigate]

1200mm

but i have only procesed image

i delelted orginal from stack

and i didn`t use flat or bias

[fleet vortex]

oh dang

please do calibration frames, bias frames are the easiest

[coral frigate]

ok i will try tonight

[fleet vortex]

take darkflats too, i use NINA to take my flats

[coral frigate]

can i take flats darks and bias in sharpcap

?

[jagged glen]

does this look like a gradient or a cloud strucure to you guys? Its of cygnus, Im pretty sure its the bottom half i was trying to get NGC 6781 which is a star cluster just for some practice.

[abstract pulsar]

that's a gradient

[jagged glen]

🥲

[abstract pulsar]

you also have some serious lens aberrations

maybe stop down the lens a bit?

[jagged glen]

Yeah no the abberations arent fixable rn

Im using a skywatcher evoguide and a dslr that doesnt focus with a field flattener so until I get a dedicated astro cam i gotta deal with it

[fleet vortex]

that coma makes it look like im going warp speed

[jagged glen]

its true

[fleet vortex]

also

[jagged glen]

oh

so wrong one

hmm

[fleet vortex]

i think i know what your going for

[jagged glen]

maybe i got an outdated app

wait'

it was like IC67something

[fleet vortex]

this?

[jagged glen]

yeah

[fleet vortex]

this picture may have it

[jagged glen]

really i was just trying to get some of the milky way

[fleet vortex]

feel free to astrobot it

and you wouldnt get any details on na nebula

[jagged glen]

it doesnt i used astronomy dot net

[jagged glen]

Cropped version so it’s not so abberated or whtv

[fleet vortex]

are you sure you were going for that star cluster

because that is WAY off

[jagged glen]

i dont remember

i think I just thought "hey look cygnus" and pointed it like the lower half

[mighty kelp]

The Moon was the first photo that I was able to get well with my Mak 70mm and my cell phone, Venus, although I could see it well through the eyepiece, when I took a photo of it, it looked very bad, so I adapted a webcam and the results are amazing, Venus is now looks much better.

[tawdry slate]

dang! thats a nice moon!

im sitll trying to figure out how to get rid of that greenish glare on the perimeter of the moon for my photos

[sly frost]

You mean chromatic aberration?

[tawdry slate]

yep thats the one!

[sharp berry]

Hello beginners I am here without astro photography setup nice to meet you 😉

[idle violet]

Bean

[fleet vortex]

your phone works too

[mighty kelp]

Thank you, the funny thing is that I tried it with several programs to take photos such as DeepSky Camera and Camera FV-5 Lite, and the photos really didn't turn out badly, but with the cell phone camera enabled PRO the photo was better, it must be like Beginner I didn't know how to adjust the other programs well, but I noticed the real difference when I used the webcam, I was surprised, the difference is abysmal, I could never take a good picture of Venus, too bright and I don't have a filter, but with With the SharpCap program I can regulate the intensity and I was able to see Venus in all its splendor, as can be seen in the photo below of the Moon.

[fleet vortex]

do a hdr moon

[mighty kelp]

I need to learn about that because I don't know how to do it.

[idle violet]

I have a question. What is better. Having few high exposures images stacked, or a lot of shorter exposure images

[grave nacelle]

High exposures images stacked, much less stacking time and less noise.

[sly frost]

There's no straight answer, it really depends on your magnification and light pollution level

From my experience I recommend high exposure

[idle violet]

Hi All. I’m quite new to Astrophotography. I only started this year. Luckily in my younger days I bought a really nice Takahashi which sat in a peli case for 16 years while children and other things got in the way. This year I decided to give this hobby a bit of a go. I know I have a lot to learn about but I wanted to post a photo I took over a couple of nights of the crescent nebula. I’d just like some feedback on how I can make the image look better. Thanks for all your help.

[sly frost]

That looks awesome!

[slate timber]

WOAH YOU SURE YOU NEW TO THIS?!? well the processing seems a bit overstrecthed add a bit more contrast to the colors and the black space

but damn that is hella good

[grave nacelle]

Holy shit, not bad for a newbie.

[slate timber]

ikr

[remote anchor]

Thanks so much. To be honest I think the scope is the winner. I’m still learning about processing the images. I think that is the hardest part. Also I’m using an ASIAIR and I think that also really makes it easy for everyone that is starting out now.

[slate timber]

damn

well makes sense the gear does wonders

while i only have a 105mm nikon dslr

but hey your processing needs work but still great wonders indeed you produced

[remote anchor]

It’s really another huge learning curve. I’m using pixinsight and there are loads of YouTube videos which makes it easier, but it can also be frustrating when I don’t get the same results.

[slate timber]

oh pixinsight very good

well there are alot of nerds here to help

[remote anchor]

I’m trying to build a dark/flat/dark flat library. Should my flats be white?

[fleet vortex]

lemme see this shit gang

[fleet vortex]

what do you use to take flats

[remote anchor]

I’ve tried sky flats and also a drawing light panel. I seem to get a lot of vignetting and green and red wash.

[fleet vortex]

its pretty good, just the greens and stuff

but its unique

[mighty kelp]

Jupiter Yesterday

[twin charm]

Going down to the isle of wight on Saturday for 2 weeks. Which allows me to escape bortle 7 and escape to bortle 4 skies. Sqm 20.90. Will the milky way be visible from where i am? I wanna get decent milky way pics for the first time. (Thorness bay to be more specific) im unsure if the milky way core be towards Newport or away from it. Just want clarification : )

The camera i have is a canon eos 500d btw and no tracking mount because im too poor to buy one.

[sly frost]

Yeah, the milky way is clearly visible from Bortle 4

I took this from Bortle 5

[twin charm]

Damn

so i could get something like that if i positioned my camera looking south

[sly frost]

Yeah, if you're talking about live view, it'll appear a little bit faint and colourless.

Point at Scorpius or Centaurus. not directly towards south

[twin charm]

i can see the head of scorpius from my bortle 7 yard no problem but houses block the view just after it appears also Birminghams glow is where the milky way core is so there is a no go for milky way core pics

I can just about get the great rift from my back yard

its so faint it’s basically not there on the camera

When i manage to upload it to my laptop sometime next week i will try and bring it out more and compare it from my bortle 7 garden to the bortle 4 skies of the isle of wight

School is getting in the way of my astro sessions

[sly frost]

Ok

Good luck 👍

Great image. I struggle with photographing planets so you did better than me

[mortal phoenix]

Three days ago I went to see the milky way with the naked eye for my first time. Needless to say, I was impressed

[sly frost]

Venus

[mighty kelp]

Thanks you, There are the first photos with dignity, the previous ones have been a disaster, but I have learning little by little, Yesterday SV 105 camera arrived, I hope to get better imagens, in the preliminary settings the imagens look much better than the webcam I was using.

[fleet vortex]

got this with the sv105

[mighty kelp]

Fantastic image, I had heard that SV 105 was only for planets but for deep sky it was not very good but that globular cluster looked incredible, have you tried with another object, like a nebula.

I have the weather against me, I only had 5 minutes today with a Venus among some fine clouds but even so I tried to see how the camera worked and I think it works very well.

[fleet vortex]

its not for deep sky

500ms exposures max

[mortal phoenix]

Turns out I don't need to travel and hour away from home to get a picture of the milky way

From my backyard, where light pollution is a problem, I am suprised

[mortal phoenix]

Saturn

[surreal minnow]

It’s not much, but I’m pretty happy that I got to shoot it from b8-9

[ashen nebula]

What equipment

[surreal minnow]

150/750 newt (from heritage 150p) + eq3 pro + asi 224mc

Processing mainly in siril + a few touches in gimp

[quaint depot]

Not expencive equipment for a good pic finally 🫡

[ashen nebula]

Sheesh thats nice

I canr wait to get my Mars-C

Cant*

[sly frost]

Is it too bright

[abstract pulsar]

Do you know what bortle class your backyard is in

[mortal phoenix]

I am not sure what it is, but I'll look.

I think anywhere from 7-6 bortle, out of nine, (nine being bad, and one being great, of course

[abstract pulsar]

Bortle is up to 8

Wait no 9

Lmao

Milky Way is technically visible in a 5, barely

[mortal phoenix]

Visible to the naked eye visible, or in a photo visible

At 5 bortle

[livid yarrow]

Is astrophotography possible with an alt az mount?

[quaint depot]

Depends on what mount what gear and what target deep space or planets

[livid yarrow]

I was thinking about getting a celestron nexstar 5 slt and a uranus-c and doing mostly Planetary with a bit of dso

[quaint depot]

We cant do both unfortunatly... You sure can do planetary with alt azimuth but not deep space

[livid yarrow]

Oh okay, thank you

[fleet vortex]

you can do deep space with alt az

its like having a bad mount, it doesnt really track all that well

so your capped at around ~5s exposures

[abstract pulsar]

naked eye

you can get a pretty good photo of the milky way from b5

[grave sun]

First time ever stacking Saturn using PIPP and autostakkert. Pretty happy with the results, I'm using a 114mm Meade newtonian reflector from the 90's. Footage was shot from my phone then exported to PC for stacking.

[quaint depot]

I reccomend using registax...

[grave sun]

Instead of what?

[quaint depot]

Pipp and autostakkeret

[grave sun]

It does both for you?!?

[quaint depot]

Yeah just you do star alignment and stacking and then proccesing

[grave sun]

ok thanks :)

[quaint depot]

I use it myself 😄

[long pilot]

im pretty sure pipp and autostakkert have better results than registax, that’s only for sharpening

[quaint depot]

Idk just rexistax sound like a more solid option

[long pilot]

example

[quaint depot]

Rexistax just showed a bit less saturn but still not bad

Not as good ofc

[long pilot]

yea but pipp and autostakkert give better results, why not go for the best results with your data? that’s my opinion at least

[quaint depot]

I think its a great opinion i just dont like putting all the stuff back and forth

[long pilot]

right yea makes sense

[grave sun]

Thank you!

[grave sun]

I don't mind if it means I get a better pic :)

[analog hollow]

Use autostakkert for stacking ok I use it and then sharpening with registax

[grave sun]

👍

What telescope?

[analog hollow]

130/650 newt and Neptune-C II

[grave sun]

130mm?!?

[analog hollow]

Yes

I have the animation I got in #older_system_pics too

[grave sun]

Wow

[fleet vortex]

How

[analog hollow]

What

[fleet vortex]

How do you do that, I can't get sharp images like you can

We got the same everything

Only difference is camera

[analog hollow]

You sharpen them and take more footage

[fleet vortex]

How long do you usually take

[analog hollow]

I have good seeing and can get away with 50% plus

[fleet vortex]

And how do you do collimation

[analog hollow]

Around 2000-5000

[analog hollow]

Star collimation

[fleet vortex]

5000 frames?

I can probably do like 7500

[analog hollow]

That’s on the high end

If you have bad seeing you gotta do more

And also, low shutter speed

Like 100th of a second

[fleet vortex]

I gotta get a really good picture of jupiter

[analog hollow]

Just send your stacks in dms and I’ll try them out

Stack in autostakkert

[fleet vortex]

I will

[mortal phoenix]

Mercury

[quaint depot]

Looks like venus because crecent

[mortal phoenix]

I see what you mean

But im positive it was mercury

[long pilot]

what'd you get in the 2nd image?

[mossy beacon]

After hours of mistakes and errors, I finally got my settings as I wanted to and tried a first session. 60x 1min, Redcat51 + Uranus-C and I tried to do things on DSS only for now. Any advice is welcomed ♥

[mortal phoenix]

Jupiter this morning

[mortal phoenix]

Saturn (still working on getting better images)

[calm isle]

Moon

[analog hollow]

Collimation

The mirrors are off

[quaint depot]

I am not sure is the focus okay too

[candid tangle]

m6 m7 m8

[opaque mist]

My first shot of the andromeda galaxy

[quaint depot]

My first two dso shots. Dumbell and west veil

With dwarf 2 and uhc filter bortle 7

[opaque mist]

I’m bortle 4-5

[quaint depot]

I want for you to laugh at these and dont be non judgmental

[quaint depot]

I am bortle 3 when not in town

[opaque mist]

When I’m in town it is bortle 9-10🥲🥲🥲

[quaint depot]

7 for me

[quaint depot]

Dayum i am going to warsaw soon its like bortle 8/9

[opaque mist]

I live in Athens

[quaint depot]

I live in lithuania

[opaque mist]

What’s your telescope

[quaint depot]

150/750 newton but i use my dwarf 2 more

[opaque mist]

I have a 6inch dob

[quaint depot]

I have friends now

[opaque mist]

Niceee

[quaint depot]

You have lizards.

I think they are cool too

[opaque mist]

One of my cats just ate a bird😐

[quaint depot]

Put a bell on em they will scare the pray without harming them

[opaque mist]

I won’t because it’s super rare for one of my cats to eat a bird and in my 13 years of owning one it has happened twice

The mostly eat spiders

[quaint depot]

My cats are scared to even go outside

[calm isle]

First time here 🙂

[grave nacelle]

Nice! Want tips?

[calm isle]

Yeah!

I use a telescope Csr vision 50mm,Not the best but it's my first

[grave nacelle]

Use recording feature which will greatly allow you to take more frames that you can stack in autostakkert I think, then you can edit like combining both RGB and such to get rid of the chromatic aberration effects. And 50mm is not bad choice, get a dob or other in the future 👍 good luck and I look toward to your growth

[calm isle]

Thanks :DD

[grave nacelle]

:D

[calm isle]

Not so cool like other but that it's for today:)

[sharp berry]

is it focused?

[ashen nebula]

Looks unfocused

[calm isle]

Sorry I don't know how to focus

I'm felling a bit embarrassed to send photos here

Cause you guys images are so bright and cool

And mine is this

[ashen nebula]

Dude, next time call us, ask us... You need to know how to focus, do you see 2 knobs where you put the eyepiece? If you do those are the focusing knobs, you spin them until you have perfect focus.

[ashen nebula]

Dont feel embarrassed, everybody starts somewhere

[grave nacelle]

Don't be. I've been here since 12th March 2023 and I've still not made a single image. All because of constant problems after problems and endless praying to the Ouranus won't help. Also more embarrassing is that I have really quality Newtonian and a HEQ5 Pro and it's been gathering dust.

[ashen nebula]

💀

I left my newt on the rain, its soaked

I found the optical tube full of water

[sly frost]

If you're talking about your phone, does your camera app have a manual mode?

[grave nacelle]

If that happened to me I would hate myself forever

[ashen nebula]

I want to die now

[marble swift]

same. the mirror now has salt flats

[ashen nebula]

Yeh, its covered in minerals

[quaint depot]

Free food i mean

I hope your mount isnt goto because then thats just a death sentence

[ashen nebula]

Yeah its an old eq2

[patent raptor]

hey guys curious to know where the best place would be to find out what cables plug in to what when i want to power eqm35 , zwo533mc, 120mm guide camera and asiair . I am not sure which cable goes where ive watched few videos but cannot see what tehy are pluggin in - hope someone cam help

[grave nacelle]

Pretty sure it would be in their spec sheets?

[patent raptor]

the only spec list on the mount is about the handcontroller and the onboard computer etc

[grave nacelle]

Weird

[patent raptor]

yeah it tells me about the mount connectors one in the DEC and RA etc

but does not tell me how or what i connect to the ASAIR etc to the mount / guide camera

[sly frost]

That's the reason why I never leave my scope outside

[grave nacelle]

@river rock my man help this guy out

[river rock]

Have you a eqdir or usb port?

Can you send a pic with the ports?

Newer mounts have a usb

[patent raptor]

Lynx Astro FTDI EQDIR USB Adapter for Sky-Watcher Mounts (see description for models) i have this that i bought

[river rock]

Ugh was there a instruction with it?

[patent raptor]

That on the computer on the mount

[river rock]

Ok there is a usb port

[patent raptor]

It’s a weird usb tho isn’t it?

[river rock]

Its normal usb a

[patent raptor]

so i need to buy a usb A cable?

[river rock]

Yes

[patent raptor]

so where would that plug in on the other end?

[river rock]

Usb

Usb A to usb, 3.0

[patent raptor]

so plug the "normal" usb end in the usb place?

[river rock]

Whats that cable you have at "Hand control"

[river rock]

Yes, normal usb port from mini pc or asiair

[patent raptor]

that was plugged into the hand controller

[river rock]

Ok, can you send a pic of your eqdir cable?

[patent raptor]

That’s the 2 ends

[river rock]

Yes, plug it into where the hand controller cable is

[patent raptor]

ok so connect the end to hand control and other in asiair?

[river rock]

Nono, instead of the hand controller cable

[patent raptor]

yeah so replace that with the eqdir

[river rock]

RJ45 -> Hand controller port
USB -> AsiAir

[patent raptor]

perfect and the camera and guide camera straight into asiair?

[river rock]

Yes

[patent raptor]

ok perfect ty sorry im slow with this type of thing im dyslexic so learning alot haha do i need to buy any usb A cable or ignore that now

[river rock]

If you have a Eqdir you dont need usb

[patent raptor]

thank you sooooo much mate (yet again)

[river rock]

Its ok, as you just start out you can allow yourself to have some problems 🙂 not everyone starts directly into the hobby with control via minipc

The learning curve is steeper

[patent raptor]

haha i dont do things easy it seems lol

thanks for your patience and help again mate ❤️

[opaque mist]

We all start somewhere

[sharp berry]

The difference practice makes ❤️

[sharp berry]

Taken 2 days apart

[opaque mist]

Nice

[opaque mist]

Your scope?

[sharp berry]

skywatcher heritage 130p, 5" dobsonian

[opaque mist]

I also have a dob

[sharp berry]

nice

[opaque mist]

Sky watcher 6”

This is my first and only time I shot Jupiter

[sharp berry]

i havent done jupiter yet

i really want to

[opaque mist]

Have you shot orion or andromeda?

[sharp berry]

no

ive only just started ap

and am in southern hemisphere so not visible yet

[opaque mist]

Ohh right

Is Orion visible?

[sharp berry]

only in early morning

[opaque mist]

This is my first orion and it looks like a joke

[sharp berry]

good first start id say

[opaque mist]

This is my latest they are a month apart and this one looks a little less like a joke

But it’s still shit

The stars look like golf balls

[grave nacelle]

I take it's taken with a phone?

[opaque mist]

Yes

[grave nacelle]

Ah, since you have good telescope. Your focus should be getting a DSLR.

[opaque mist]

I have 6inch dob

[grave nacelle]

It'll improve your pictures so much, also look into astro cooled cameras if you're willing to guarantee that the astro cooled camera will be your last

[grave nacelle]

Good for planetary, kind of good for DSO

[opaque mist]

I’m new to ap what does Dso mean

Oh deep space?

[grave nacelle]

Deep sky objects

[opaque mist]

Ok

[calm isle]

Thanks Guys 🙂

i will try it tonight

[opaque mist]

Try what?

[calm isle]

.

[opaque mist]

Oh

[opaque mist]

When did you start ap

There is a tutorial that helped me a lot when I started and I think it will also help you

[calm isle]

like, 1 year ago with phone, and with telescope like 5 months

[opaque mist]

@calm isle just type: how to use a telescope on YouTube and watch the video by: Very Intresting Chanel

It will help you a LOT

[calm isle]

Thanks

[patent raptor]

Not done any cable management yet or any actual polar align just testing and works via my iPad now with ASIAIR

[calm isle]

Not space and anything but it's Light pole 👍

[patent raptor]

quick glance looks like mars 😄

[calm isle]

My Barlow lens just mess up with the image Even if I focus

[opaque mist]

Try without Barlow

[calm isle]

Thats it

Barlow it's just a white image

Wait

[opaque mist]

What eyepiece and what Barlow you use

[calm isle]

Erecting eyepiece is the same as Barlow?

[calm isle]

25mm and 1,5x

My focal length it's 360

[opaque mist]

Ok

[opaque mist]

Have you watched the tutorial I suggested?

[calm isle]

Yes

[opaque mist]

And how thick is it

What scope you have

[calm isle]

Csr Vision with 50mm aperture,360 focal length and coated lens

It's what is in the tube

Roof

[opaque mist]

Is your scope a dob?

Refractor

?

[calm isle]

It's an refractor

[opaque mist]

What do you want to shoot?

[calm isle]

Tree

[calm isle]

Well, planets and stars

[opaque mist]

No nebulas??

[opaque mist]

Andromeda?

[calm isle]

It's the only thing I can see with the things I have

I would like to see everything but planets and stars it's the only thing that I can see

[opaque mist]

What bortle you in?

[calm isle]

I might be talking nonsense

[calm isle]

.

[opaque mist]

Not exactly

[calm isle]

So my erecting eyepiece it's 1,5x

[opaque mist]

I’m not sure

What bortle you in

[calm isle]

If it's not the same I don't have an bortle

[opaque mist]

Bruh

What are you talking about

[calm isle]

I'm talking about my telescope

[opaque mist]

I’m talking about light pollution

[calm isle]

OH IM SORRY

LOL I confused

[opaque mist]

Bortle is a measuring unite for light pollution

[calm isle]

My bortle it's 8 or 7, something between

I confused Barlow with bortle

[opaque mist]

It’s ok

In bortle 8 I don’t think you can shoot andromeda

Gtg bye

[calm isle]

Bye

Thanks for everything

[grave nacelle]

@calm isle oh absolutely you can.

You can image Andromeda in that Bortle, the finding process won't be easy. But it's bright enough.

[drifting hull]

hey all - want to share an image i took over past few nights, around 1hr40min total time, 300 images at 20sec exposure on a QHY268C and a 80mm/600 skywatcher. Tips welcome on how i can improve. Using Siril for processing, but finding it challenging to remove noise when i amp up the details

birtle 1/2 sky (for the most part)

bortle even

[sly frost]

birtle?

[drifting hull]

Bortle 🙂

[sly frost]

Oh

[calm isle]

3 tries(not edited)

[calm isle]

Saturn(what a cool image right)

[sly frost]

Nice!

[quaint depot]

Begginer M31

[sly frost]

That's looks epic for a beginner

[slate timber]

Real for a beginner just getting the spiral arms is cool

God i have been inactive on astro for months

I practically died in this server lol

[sly frost]

I see...

[quaint depot]

[slate timber]

There is like 2 typhoons on my country

Lol

[sly frost]

Philippines?

[slate timber]

Y u p

Never seen a star in a month now yeah

[sly frost]

South east Asian struggles

[slate timber]

My dob and camera are just sitting there

Waiting to be used

[slate timber]

Real

[sly frost]

Btw, may I edit that :)

[quaint depot]

Ofc

[quaint depot]

Can i use these?

[sly frost]

Sure

[quaint depot]

Thanks

[sly frost]

Stacked?

[sharp berry]

yeah

[sly frost]

What percentage?

[sharp berry]

i forgor 💀

[sly frost]

Hahah

[calm isle]

Wow

[ashen nebula]

Bro forgor

[calm isle]

😐

[calm isle]

This is my best photo : )

AAAAA I FINALLY GOT TO FOCUS MY TELESCOPE ON SATURN AAAAAA

I SEE RINGS

I SEE RINGGGGGGSSSSSS

FIRST TIMEEE

Idk if I can make it a photo but I will try

AAAAAAAAAA ITS THERE

HAHAHAHAH

RINGS, RIINGSS

[analog hollow]

Remember zoom in and use your eyes to focus not the phone

[jaunty fable]

1000 5s shots
man i need a tracker

[sly frost]

Woooow

[slate timber]

Finally after a month of clouds and rain i get to use my scope

Waning Gibbous
Orion xt6 and my phone

Imaged saturn aswell

I need to get my hands on a barlow and the tadaptor and ring

[calm isle]

Saturn

[jaunty fable]

I can see the moons of jupiter!!

[sly frost]

[tawdry slate]

finally saw the andromeda galaxy with my own eyes, managed to snap a picture, it is an A-Grade smudge of a galaxy

just waiting on my guide scope to arrive and then we can make some real progress!

[mortal ginkgo]

Are these from your phone?

[finite flame]

My best photos of saturn this year

[sly frost]

Stacked?

[finite flame]

No

[slate timber]

woah cooll

[sly frost]

[mortal phoenix]

Milky way

Darn discord compression

[quaint depot]

Least compressed discord image :

[grave nacelle]

I see nothing 💀

[calm isle]

phone and scope

[calm isle]

Saturn taken from A SCOPE( Doesn't seem like it, right?)

[sharp berry]

More colour and sharpness than the last one

[mortal phoenix]

Saturn and jupiter

[mighty kelp]

A little Saturn.

[sharp berry]

Took this through an iphone 13 10 second exposure in bortle 8 during winter

[cyan violet]

Moon, i took this picture around month ago, 15 stacked, 14 mb of weight in total. Gear: calestron up close 10x zoom+ 5 camera zoom

[fathom badge]

my best saturn yet

[sharp berry]

very nice! how many frames?

[fathom badge]

900

[sharp berry]

sick

[fathom badge]

but i cant get a better image with my telescope

[sharp berry]

what scope?

[fathom badge]

60/900 refractor

but I tried everything i cant get better

probably bc a lense maybe has moved? when I was moving my telescope my sister bumped into me and it fell out of my hand

[sharp berry]

more focal length than me

[fathom badge]

thats why I am gonna buy myself a new telescope next year

[sharp berry]

what scope you thinking?

[fathom badge]

a skymax 127

[fathom badge]

well I use my phone

[sharp berry]

id say the skymax 127 looks reasonable

[sharp berry]

ah

i use a 5" dob personally

[fathom badge]

nice

[sharp berry]

this is what my first saturn looked like

[fathom badge]

well refractors have more focal length than reflectors XD

[fathom badge]

woah

i can send a pic later of my first saturn. but i dont have my phone with me rn

[sharp berry]

then recently ive done this, learning the programs helps a lot

[fathom badge]

XD

what camera do you use?

[sharp berry]

canon 200d

[fathom badge]

ah

yea thats why urs is better

i have a huawei p40 lite XD

[sharp berry]

xd

i might end up buying a cassegrain too

[fathom badge]

nice

skymax 127 isnts a cassegrain. its a maksutov

i think cassegrain still has the X

like at the front

[sharp berry]

the skymax 127 is a Maksutov-Cassegrain

[fathom badge]

wait what?

[sharp berry]

so kind of a cassegrain

[fathom badge]

but it doesnt have that x here

and I see the X on cassegrains

[sharp berry]

there is different types of cassegrains

[fathom badge]

ooh

on astroshop I see cassegrain and maksutov as 2 different categories

[sharp berry]

idk

i use ozscopes and they put all the cassegrains in one catergory

[fathom badge]

the ones without this X that holds the secondary mirror is called schmidt cassegrain

the skymax 127 is just in the normal maksutov category

hm

[sharp berry]

the maskutov is the maksutov-cassegrain, isnt it?

[fathom badge]

i dont really know

there are many different types of telescopes XD

[sharp berry]

indeed

[fathom badge]

i just know that maksutov have a big focal length but a short body

like the skymax 127 has a focal length of 1500mm but is very short

[fathom badge]

Here's mine

@sharp berry

My first Saturn

[sharp berry]

[fathom badge]

Lmao

That was my first Saturn image with my phone floating over the eye piece

[analog hollow]

Trust me I wasn’t the best when I started either

[quaint depot]

Me realising my past was a "bit" worse

[analog hollow]

Mine was really bad

I didn’t use the scope until 8 months after getting it

And I quit until October, then I came back MARCH

[quaint depot]

Sraturn and pijter

[slender gate]

Saturn and Jupiter from a few nights ago, happy with both turnouts but still want to improve both

[fathom badge]

can you send me the video of jupiter you took? I wanna try and stack them myself and edit them

[slender gate]

Yeah for sure I have two sets of videos: I have Jupiter with just the 12mm or Jupiter with a 2x Barlow and 12mm

[fathom badge]

can you send both? I wanna get better at editing in registax :D

thanks btw

[slender gate]

Yeah for sure, and no worries glad I can help

[fathom badge]

:D

[patent raptor]

After some professional advice from u guys - so clear night for a bit so set up outside I can see 100s of stars my phone can see it but when I take shot on the ASIAIR it says 0 detected

I can’t see any to zoom on to focus

And can’t align cause not seeing stars

Taken from my phone

If I take a pic and press detect it says 0 if I press this it detects then fails

[limber geyser]

hi

i' m a starter and this is my best photo of saturn yet

i used the camera from a Samsung Galaxy A13 and a celestron atromaster 70 az

there

btw how do i remove that thing above saturn

[quaint depot]

Nicee

I got a simmilar image imma find it rq

[sharp berry]

This is a photo of the Milky Way from my redmi 10C with ISO 1250-2000 30s

[quaint depot]

Here ya go

[sharp berry]

Thank you and I've been trying to take a picture of the Milky Way for a long time and I finally got it

[quaint depot]

What bortle are you in?

[sharp berry]

Wow

[sharp berry]

I am in Italy

Sorry I'm Italian what does bortle mean?

[quaint depot]

I got a betyer setup so i take images like this

[quaint depot]

Bortle is a scale of light pollution

I can send you a link to a website which shows you that

[sharp berry]

Ok

[quaint depot]

https://www.lightpollutionmap.info/#zoom=1.88&lat=37.6955&lon=18.7483&state=eyJiYXNlbWFwIjoiTGF5ZXJCaW5nUm9hZCIsIm92ZXJsYXkiOiJ3YV8yMDE1Iiwib3ZlcmxheWNvbG9yIjpmYWxzZSwib3ZlcmxheW9wYWNpdHkiOjYwLCJmZWF0dXJlc29wYWNpdHkiOjg1fQ==

Click on your "approximate" location and it will tell you

[sharp berry]

Ok thanks

class 4

[quaint depot]

Thats a good bortle!

I live in class 3 but sometimes in 7

[sharp berry]

Even for me sometimes there is a lot of light pollution but I go to a place where I can see many stars even if they are not many but already the fact that I managed to take the Milky Way

[quaint depot]

Here is a comparison between bortle 7 and 3

[sharp berry]

Anyway I'm trying to save money for a good telescope but I still don't know which one to start with I know celestron are the best but I don't know which one to get

[quaint depot]

Are you doing visual? And what are you watching the most? Maybe i could help

Planets or deep space?

[sharp berry]

I'd like to look at the planets because I've never seen them well with the naked eye or with a telescope and it seems like a good place to start

[quaint depot]

https://www.astroshop.eu/telescopes/skywatcher-dobson-telescope-n-200-1200-skyliner-classic-dob/p,4440

This is your choice

[sharp berry]

Ok thanks, I'll take a look at it

[quaint depot]

Or if size isnt a problem you can get a bigger ones but they cost more

https://www.astroshop.eu/telescopes/skywatcher-dobson-telescope-n-254-1200-pyrex-skyliner-classic-dob/p,5025

Like this

DM me if you have questions

[sharp berry]

Ok no problem with the money there are with the first I just need to be able to take some pictures and be able to see the planets

[sharp berry]

Ok thanks you have been very helpful thank you

[quaint depot]

If you arent doing those pictures for long you can get a phone adapter for an eyepiece

[quaint depot]

No problem . And welcome to the hobby!

[sharp berry]

Ok I'll take that into consideration

[quaint depot]

Sorry i made a mistake i meant" if you arent doing these picures for long

I fixed it already

[sharp berry]

Ok thank you so much don't worry

I was already thinking about getting an adapter for the smartphone

[quaint depot]

Well then See ya. I will go to sleep . Its cloudy

Or is it

[sharp berry]

Well I also think that now I'm going to sleep

I've been out watching the shooting stars now I'm a bit tired anyway thanks for everything

[quaint depot]

Tommorow and after tommorow is a huge meteor shower. Dont miss out!
