If you have a lower budget, honestly a telescope for astrophotography is a waste of money. Priority should be your mount/star tracker, and then your camera and lens. If you can't afford >£1000 for the mount alone, you cannot properly track with a heavier payload, such as a telescope. For around £600 you can get a decent beginner star tracker such as the Star Adventurer GT. That can hold a DSLR and a lens. I recommend a Rokinon 135mm lens and an astro-modifed DSLR camera. This will give you good widefield shots of things such as the entire Orion Molecular Cloud Complex containing not only the nebula from this video, but many others such as Barnard's loop, and the flame and horsehead nebulae. Other good targets include the Andromeda galaxy and Rho Ophiuchi
I remember looking up at the night sky in Fuerteventura Beaches back in 2007. I always wondered what these stars that looked like an arrow were... Every time I see this arrow, it brings me back to my holiday memories of this. And now, here I am today... Finding out what it really stands for and why I was so drawn to it. A beautiful Nebula 😍😍😍😍
I have been watching this since my childhood. Sice then Didnt know its an orion. It look more beautiful more than what it looks without telescope. Thanks to you
Your RAW video looks like my Final 20mins exposure image of the Orion nebula 😂😂Because I used a fully manual beginners telescope and had to take 600 single exposures with a smartphone
Very very interesting Make many more videos. Everyone can't effort telescope🔭 of quality, so I have subscribed.ln childhood l usued see sky for ⭐stars.
Wow, that raw footage is pretty badass just by itself! So, for the raw, what were you doing for exposure times? Also would love to know what you're using for an imaging camera. LOVE the final, that's glorious. M42 has always been my starting object when I had my telescopes out for a night. Super easy and always pretty even in a small refractor. The more aperture you throw at it, the more impressive it becomes. For those that are wondering, in a telescope of around 8" diameter by eye it looks like a sort of half hemisphere of delicate blue-green light with a hint of pink and full of glittering, closely packed stars in that brightest spot.
I have been recently thinking of getting into this now that I have a grandson , it would be something we can do together while he grows up .. how much is your set up ??
I have a quick question. Since you said raw video, then what recording settings are you using to get that much detail? Also, how do you stack the video later on?
