@@RefreshingViews I am lucky enough to chat with him a bit over the last few years. It's one of the reasons I also share my help so freely because we all benefit in the long run 👍
I love the humility of this man! Mark it must have been a joy to talk with him and see that telescope he built he is an incredible astronomer and innovator
Hi Richard - hope this finds you well. So glad you are trying EAA - although you have to blame Lawrence as he got me into it! Best eyepiece I ever bought!
I made a 60mm finderscope right-angled 40mm Bresser eyepiece with a helical focuser it is far better than a 50mm finder. Can be used as a guide scope also!
Ah Kelling started off warm & dry then wind & rain but Friday night was the best night we had as it were clear all night if I recall, at 16mins 19 seconds I can see our stonewall wind break I think myself & my better half walked by you both when you were recording this.
Ah lovely - I am looking forward to catching up when our paths cross again. Yes that Friday was amazing wasn't it? My friend from our local AS brought his 100mm binos and I can remember just getting lost in all the dark nebulae in Cygnus. Great fun!
Thats a great interview....thanks for sharing! That step ladder reminds of the one in one of your previous videos "want a big telescope?" The american guy had a ladder with big steps that was american made but he got it from europe because it wasn't available in america
That was funny wasn’t it? I’m a big fan of systems engineering thinking (and remembering that the User is part of the system) so a comfortable experience is paramount.
You really have to be a hardcore fan of stargazing, and astro imaging when living in the UK. How many clear nights do you have in a year in this country?
What I find frustrating is not the total absence of clear skies (certainly for the last few months anyway) is that they coincide with family commitments, work trips, when I am busy etc. And if you miss it you miss it!
Hi Terri - do you sharpen your videos a smidge more after WinJupos? I find if I have say stacked ~5 of my best from the night, I can give the derotated image a quick unsharp mask (not tried gentle wavelets in Registax) in photoshop and another level of detail appears (and this is the key bit) without revealing the noise. I'm just doing a more detailed cut of the processing and will add this in. Oh and have your booked WSP yet?
You're right - looks like he missed a zero when describing the filter! On his website Martin's Venus images have 1010nm in the caption. Thanks for the clarification.
