Hello, my name is Felix, am currently 18 years old. I've been passionate about astrophotography for a few years now. Every free minute, I spend under the night sky. If you're interested in this hobby and my journey, feel free to subscribe to this account. Tutorials, astro Vlogs, and many other exciting videos are posted here.
Such a telescope would be very difficult to use. This is because it would be extremely heavy and the collimation would also be incredibly difficult. I would not recommend such a telescope for beginners. Furthermore, to my knowledge, such a telescope does not exist
@@FelixsAstrophotography I started from such telescope 😉. ASA UWF300 f1.3 It is just 30kg. Collimation is automated and controlled by absolute encoders. What do you think? Maybe I needed to start from RedCat 51
@@FelixsAstrophotography Yes, you can. Ask local politicians about providing money for education, and funding such rig. Tell it is better to spend 100-150K for this than for useless military needs. You could also tell them “come down here, I will show you stars and maybe your military appetite will disappear; you could bring wife and children as well”.
For visual folks with a medium scope, it will likely be another quasar, not quite so far away, but still a VERY far 2 billion light years! 3C 273 at magnitude 12.9
@@FelixsAstrophotography Thanks for the reply! I mostly observe with my 10" dob, but do love and appreciate the work of astrophotographers and the beautiful images they produce!
I have observed 3C273 with an 8" dob. It just blows me away that you can see something so mind boggingly distant with a modest instrument from a suburban back yard.
I am 16 and i like your videos. I know for sure that you will be famous in this field. Keep working hard, thanks for sharing these mistakes i am actually doing 2 of them😂
@@FelixsAstrophotography 1.I always late to take photos, the object I tried to capture always is on the horizon or somewhere around it. 2. I tried to capture 2 to 3 objects in a single photo from a phone which is not a good idea🙃.I don't have a telescope
Thank you very much for your answer. I am very happy that you like my videos.If you have any questions about this hobby in the future, please feel free to ask me. I'm happy to help😊
There is nothing there. You probably need to circle object. Why are stars so triangular? What is SNR of image? It looks low. M86 and M108 are pale. You need to quadruple exposure time.
That’s cool!! Good stuff. I don’t have a set up that nice and I haven’t been doing it for very long. But just catching the galaxy I’m looking for makes me feel good so I’m proud for you bro.
@@FelixsAstrophotographyAnd if possible atleast viewers like me (i like seeing different places, if possible you could travel to dark skies sometimes.)
Especially for observing the Milky Way or entire constellations, I can recommend the Omegon 2x54. I've had it for a short time since testing it at the ATT, and it's fantastic. You can see about 30° and significantly more stars, and actually more Milky Way objects due to the vast field of view. It's a lot of fun, but be careful, these 2x, 2.1x, 3x ... binoculars vary. I looked through a Vixen 2.1x 42 in parallel at the ATT, and the image was terrible, largely blurry. I can recommend the Omegon 2x54. clear skies Felix
Hello ! I am potentially looking to purchase my first telescope and wondered if this one is as well as observation that photography. I am not sure to do astrophotography yey. I wanted to know if this one is specific and if for observation only, an other brand or model would be recommanded. Thanks and keep going 😊.
hi.If you use this telescope on a goto mount, this telescope is also ok for astrophotography.I have also uploaded a video in which I use this for astrophotography.The video is called Cheap vs expensive telescope for astrophotography
You might want to include the "pattern making" method for finding deep-sky objects that the Telrad's 3-ringed reticle is designed for. You might also want to include the use of Right-Angle Correct-image (RACI) finderscopes, as they can help greatly in relieving neck strain when looking through the finder.
Your video is very good my friend. I wanted to ask you a few things. I have the Nikon D7000 with the 80,200 lens! 2.8 stable and I would like to use it to photograph the lagoon nebula. In the Andromeda galaxy, I don't have a tracker. How possible is this to be done without a tracker without damaging the machine etc. I have unlimited evening time and dark skies, I live in a village. Thanks for any reply.
Hi.If I understand correctly, you want to photograph the Lagoon Nebula. I would say that this is definitely possible. In this case, I would use a focal length of 80mm in order to use a longer exposure time. I would use an aperture of F2.8 and an exposure time of 2 seconds. Then I would take a lot of pictures. That should definitely work.
Theoretically, that would work too. Then you would have to choose a very short exposure time. Then you would end up with significantly more images. You're not using a tracker, are you?
New subscriber, love your videos. I'm looking for my first Astro camera setup and find your channel very helpful. Currently I'm only using my Pixel 7 pro. I know it's not a great option compared to a DSLR, but it's better than nothing and let's me enjoy some nights under the stars. I'll definitely be purchasing a DSLR soon. Thanks for the informative videos. They definitely help us newbies lol😂
Thank you for your comment. I am very happy to hear that my videos are helpful to you. If you have any questions in the future or ideas for videos that would help you, I would be very happy to help you.😊
Well done, Felix. That’s the lens that started it all for me, with a capture of Comet NEOWISE four years ago! Good to get you started, and perfectly usable for star trails, but it wasn’t long before I was looking at the Samyang lenses!!
@@FelixsAstrophotography I think either the Samyang 24mm f/1.4 or 14mm f/2.8 are worth considering. For timelapse the 24mm is particularly good as it’s so bright at f/1.4, so the detail you can get in MW timelapse is awesome. However, Samyang can be a little intermittent on quality control, so buy from a reputable dealer if you can, although there are many used bargains too! Good luck!
That photo of the pleiades looks stunning❤ tho i heavent been able to look at the deep sky objects because of clouds and not really much of them is visible
Of course for expensive, you can spend $50,000 on a set-up. Realistically, you need to spend around $2500 to get a system that uses a telescope and doesn't drive you nuts with having to fix and tweak it because it's a cheap Chinese unit.
You mean because of the spikes? The thing with the spikes is actually due to the parts at the front of the Newton that cause the spikes. These are simply to big and that's why the spikes look so weird
@@FelixsAstrophotography No, not the spikes, they are normal, produces by the secondary vanes. I am talking about the weird veil of light next to the spikes.
I think you're right. In addition, there is the following fact.Because the parts that hold the mirror at the front are too big, strange spikes are created.That's why I don't have the typical 4 spikes on the cheap telescope.
@@FelixsAstrophotography Well I saw the same artefact on my 14 inch Newtonian, after I reattached the mirror to it's mounting with less force it was gone. I don't know how your mirror is fixed to its base, in my case I used just a few drops of silicone and three angles that the mirror could never fall out, these angles did not touch the mirror, just extra security. Bubble rap creates a great base for a telescope mirror, it's almost like adaptive optics because it supports the mirror on multiple points.
The Bresser telescope has very little coma, so I didn't use a coma corrector. In addition, it was about the galaxy. This is in the middle where there is normally no coma anyway.
@FelixsAstrophotography coma should be the same, based on the focal ratio. Perhaps the bresser has a spherical mirror or is under or overcorrected? A proper parabola figure will have the coma inherent to any f5 mirror. Does it handle high powers as well as the proper synta model? Low power and imaging at prime focus can sometimes be tolerated on a spherical, or not properly figured parabola mirror, the spherical abberation starts to show up at higher powers
