In this video, I’ll prove that you don’t need an expensive camera to take incredible astrophotography images. The camera used in this video is an old Canon EOS T3i, which is actually a great little astrophotography camera.
To be honest, knowing HOW to capture great data, and image processing skills are much more important than the camera you use. I hope you enjoyed this video, and subscribe if you haven’t already!

Don’t get me wrong, I love watching your videos but to say it’s not bad for a “$200” camera is a bit misleading when you have a $400 tracker, $500 lens, $150 light pollution filter, and various other expenses like tripod, dew heater, and remote. Easily in the $1500 range if you pick a cheap tripod... a budget rig when compared to using dedicated imaging equipment for sure but still misleading to say a cheap DSLR did this when the real magic happens with a steady tripod, tracker, and modded camera with a filter... all I’m saying is $200 and eBay is t getting you there. And yes, it’s still expensive. However, still love to see your videos, keep them coming.

Is it more expensive than nature, landscape, wildlife, wedding, architectural photography? If you haven't noticed, photography itself can be expensive. And remember the old adage; you get what you pay for. In other words, this is an inexpensive SOLUTION to the expenses associated with higher end astro-photography or maybe, just maybe, astro-photography isn't for you.

Patrick Guilfoyle what the heck are you talking about... I simply said that saying a $200 camera from eBay will not get you those results alone. You COULD say for under $1500 including a self modded camera from eBay, you can do this... also, don’t presume to know what is and isn’t for me... I have several William Optics, Orion, Celestron, ES, and Meade scopes along with a few iOptron and Celestron mounts, ZWO cameras, etc... I know EXACTLY how expensive this is and can be. Although $1500 is an INEXPENSIVE entry into this hobby many will consider it expensive because it is an expensive hobby.

@@patrickguilfoyle8884 Agree that photography is an expensive hobby. But the point here is that, it requires a of investment just to get started in deep sky astro photography (tracker, filters, heater, good tripod, dedicated lens etc.)! Any other type of photography can be started with a cheap camera, kit lens and cheap tripod at best. Anyway, great video as always. :)

Keep doing the amazing work that you are doing not just for Astrophotography but for science in general. It's the people like yourself that will truly influence the world of science.

Very informative and well presented video. In the early 90's I built a barn door tracker with a curved rod driven by an old turntable motor. Balanced everything as best I could, pointed the hinge at Polaris and used an old film camera to photograph the Constellation Orion. I managed to get a few passable photos out of 2-3 rolls before the motor burned up. Most were over or under exposed or smeared due to tracking error. I considered it a success but nowhere near what is possible today with limited means. If you are here watching and interested in astrophotography I would definitely advise considering the Sky Watcher.

@marcagostini3051
@marcagostini3051 4 года назад
Depends on your lens; On some lenses, you won't be able to reach infinite focus without a replacement, beacause a piece of glass like a filter will alter the length of the optical path by ~1/3 of its thickness. This is of course vital if you want to do astrophotography; I modified my Nikon d3200 without replacement, on my Samyang 24mm I can't reach infinite focus anymore, but on my Sigma 50-150 I can, it all depends on where the lens manufacturer puts the stop for focusing. On an astronomical telescope this usually isn't an Issue because you tend to have loads of focuser travel.

That‘s incredible. Your video will genuinely make me look up at the night sky differently. I‘m wondering now about all that I can see if I could only not blink for an hour

Shop around $400 IS cheap for a computerized mount. You only said the camera was cheap anyway. I'm wondering if people try to drill holes in the camera for cooling tubes or the like?

The star tracker is the most important accessory. Most people think it's the camera but lens and accessories and most importantly a person that knows what they are doing. Great video.

Great video. I'm thinking about getting back into astrophotography. Could you post a video on how you polar align the mount? My only motorized mount is an old Meade 8" SCT.

I didnt realize you could see a nebula with a 135mm lens. I figured something longer would be required. this is inspiring!

As an owner of an older DLSR camera (Nikon D3500) this video gives me hope yet for the life of my lil camera. I do plan to buy something more upgraded eventually, but this means I can still use my current camera even further into the years to come!

Nice image! Even M78 is in it on the left bottom corner. I have also the SW Star adventurer, a canon dslr (aps-c) and a Samyang 85mm. I can't wait to try this target myself. Unfortunately, the weather here in Belgium is bad at the moment. Keep up the good work, Trevor! Clear skies! 👍😃🌌📷🔭

This is the video I have been waiting for. I have the canon 650 (rebel t4i) and am saving up for this type of set up. I know that it is not just the camera or the lens bit also the after processing and am going to be on a steep learning curve. I really love the video and will use it as a guide.

Another great video! Your channel is what gave me the courage to take the plunge into deep sky astrophotography. Since this isn’t a goto mount, I was hoping you’d show the steps from polar alignment to locating dso manually. Regardless, grateful for your videos!

I'd be in heaven at -17°C! Last time I was out, it was -18°C but horribly windy. The time before that, it was -32°C and calm. It was cold, but layers are the answer! Nice image, by the way. I'm very impressed! Great channel you got here, Trevor.
