@retiche 3 месяца назад

instead of a laser collimator, either use a barlowed laser collimator for enhanced precission and best for that beast you would need an autocollimator like the one astrosystems sells in conjunction with a artificial star. Both will help you collimate the scope before the astro session. Also how are you taking the flats after the session? since everything can affect the flats if you do it afterward?

@noreaction1 3 месяца назад

What makes you take three fifteen minute long exposures instead of five 9 minute long exposures or nine 5 minute long exposures? How do you know what the sweet spot is? Is shorter more frequent exposure always better? What determines the limit?

@rickarmstrong2476 3 месяца назад

For one hour that looks good. Nothing wrong with that!

@Rocketeer_777 3 месяца назад

Hi @AstroBackyard, nicely done! Looks great. Quick question on getting setup tips from you - is that a Starizona Filter drawer attached to the Nexus Reducer? Did you use any spacers/adapters between the filter drawer and reducer? I have the same reducer and am trying to get the spacing correctly for use with my ZWO camera, filter drawer, and Nexus Reducer. Thanks!

Great video Trevor , love a fast Newtonian, & liked your comment about the 365 cover , I notice you have not put your observatory back up yet , I have a pod but 60 next month and increasingly difficult getting in and out although I still love it, I was contemplating getting a roll of roof type , but just something about a telescope in the garden with a 365 cover covering every angle of the sky ! No zeniths or walks to worry about ! Ps .. star clusters the underrated wonders of the night sky 👍

@michaelevan9184 3 месяца назад

Very nice! Just wondering ..... would be nice to do another video on Astronomy books if you've come across any New one's you've encountered

@ogshotglass9291 3 месяца назад

That looks absolutely stunning for only 1 hour! Btw, what would your tips be (if any) to help protect a telescope like that from extreme temperatures, especially if you permanently mount it? It's going to possibly get 120°F later next week and it gets down in the 20's or even high teens in the winter. I'm worried about possible warping if I were to mount one in my yard.

@jamiesmithnc 3 месяца назад

Nice job! You started from the finish time of your first image, not the start, which I think accounts for your dithering time (~2 extra minutes based on your timestamps) I'd sure be interested in seeing an image of the _rest_ of the subs compared to the first hour

@Lacquerhead-TX 3 месяца назад

Uhhh, the pain. I wanted Edmonton to win but of course I knew Florida would take it in 7. Also, for a Newtonian *nothing* is a better tool than an autocolimator. When the optics are aligned the light circuit is closed and the image in the autocollimator goes dark. There's no doubt that the optics are in alignment.

@josh_za 3 месяца назад

Hey Trevor! I think the reason why you managed to get 20 subs within the hour is that the time on the photos is recorded at the end of the exposure, so your timer only started 3 minutes after you actually started taking exposures. Still an amazing image nonetheless :)

@AstroBackyard 3 месяца назад

Ah yes that makes sense!

@rschellie Месяц назад

I have a dumb question concerning subs. Each light sub we take has all the data needed to make an image. If two subs that are identical are stacked, the sum of data from two subs is better than the individual sub viewed alone. So, let's say we take 30, 5 minutes subs that are all sharp, free of atmospheric distortion, and contain about the same SNR. Say you stack these subs and get a decent image, how would that be different than taking one good 5 minute sub, duplicating it 30 times and then stacking and processing that image?

Great video by a true artist! Trevor, you really should look into getting an OCAL Electronic Collimator Pro for your large Newt. It’s a bit tricky to use at first, but the results are absolutely spot on! I’m sure a lot of your viewers would appreciate a video by you on how to use it. The current vids on it are not so great.

@3dfxvoodoocards6 2 месяца назад

Interesting video. There is something I don’t understand about refractors and DSO. If I use for visual observations for example a 150/750 mm F5 achromat and a 150/1200 F8 FPL53 APO, I understand that with the APO the Moon and planets will look 10x better and sharper but how about galaxies ? Will the galaxies look better in a high-quality APO than in a same-aperture short F5 achromat ? (For visual observations only, not astrophotography). Also is the contrast on galaxies better in the APO than in the same size achromat ? Thank you!

@HeavenlyBackyardAstronomy 3 месяца назад

Great video, Trevor. Yes, aperture counts. Question: How long did it take to stack in PI using WBPP? I'm guessing it was longer than the total integration time. - Patrick -

@777themoose 3 месяца назад

Regarding your question at 7:50 in the video, 20 subs in an hour is not possible with dithering, it's just a math error. 10:42pm is when your first exposure *ended*, so you actually started shooting at 10:39pm. 20 exposures from 10:39pm-11:41pm makes sense - it's actually an hour and two minutes of shooting. 60 minutes exposure time with 2 minutes overhead.

Very nice final image Trevor. I have just got back into the hobby this year and the weather out here in SE Utah has not been cooperative at all ! I have only had one night (with a full moon) that was clear in June (crazy). I'm pretty sure that I'm the cause of all the cloudy weather after my interest peaked and I spent quite a bit of money to get up and running...Murphy's law at play. I'm looking forward to longer and clearer nights in the months ahead. Lets hope the weather gods cooperate with my plan. LOL... Anyway you do inspire me and I appreciate your videos...Cheers from Moab.
