Here are some pros and cons of using DSLR for telescope astrophotography. It has many benefits as well as many disadvantages Buy me a coffee☕ / @astroonbudget #DSLR #astrophotography
@@AstroOnbudget No i don't have one but after watching this I'm convinced now to get one. I'm thinking nikon d5300 as i can afford it and it's got all the features that i need, plus a few good prime lens, is that okay?
Hi, i have bought a Canon EOS 1100D as shown in thr picture. Eaven if i don't modify the camera it should still be pretty good for deep sky targets (brighter one particularly) and can you link me some results of taken by the camera?
After using different astronomy camera's in the last years, I'm back using modified DSLRs (not really; they are DSLMs) now. They are lightweight, portable, easy to use and capture great images. There are no problems with darks, too much noise or other issues. Just have a good lens, a good body, a portable star tracker, and enjoy the night capturing great astro photos. And I need no guiding, no manual focusing, no tons of cables.
I've just bought my second dslr, because it had a flip out screen, it stops me lying on the ground when framing an object, thats a definite pro for me.
For $1,102AUD, you can buy a ZWO ASI183MC Pro cooled astrophotography camera that will work with an AAP such as the ZWO Asiair Plus for guiding. Not worth spending it on a canon 1100d, because of the noise of non-cooled DSLRs and low resolution. They run far too hot. I've gone away from my DSLR for that reason. Anyway the 1100d is only 12.2-megapixel. You got ripped off, because Amazon has Canon EOS 1500D DSLR Camera with 18-55mm lens for $645 new (24.1-megapixel), and you can remove the filter yourself and add you own filters. Plenty of guides online.
hmm..I don't agree that in general AP-dedicated cameras are "a pain to use" as a beginner. Not at all. (I bought my first AP-dedicated cam just a few months ago.) Using the DATA of MONO cams is something completely different! And saying "most people already know how to use a DSLR" is just not true. I had WAY more problems using a DSLR than a AP-d. camera (and I know many more people with same DSLR issues). I think AP-dedicated cams are in contrast easier to use. What you did not mention as well: Application of a DSLR for AP can potentially and dramatically DEcrease the lifespan of your DSLR because they are just not built for that application. - If you consider AP a "frustrating hobby" (6:29) you should really consider something else for yourself to be honest.., I guess. Sounds very annoyed. I would rather see it as a sometimes challenging hobby, where you can learn a lot. And THIS really brings joy. As well as the problem-solving part of it... in my humble opinion.
