Video

Not a fan of the clamshell opening, but can't wait to get a dome.

Done it in Hubble pallet and HSO

Wow!! Excellent information!

You think 400mm is crazy? I'm shooting at 1,150mm!

Haven't seen you post videos in a while, how are things

The step of copying values from flats to dark flat doesn't work in the ASIAir mini. Anyway, thanks for the review.

My hd8 will be in Monday and I’m so excited

Beautiful image. Hoping to start Astrophotography with that same scope

You could get the f/3.9 reducer for an even wider field

Wow, It looks so good

RIP Russell

Knock Knock, anybody home!

Which telescope and go to mouth details please

Hello Russell, Excellent shot and use of the scope. I am thinking about pulling the plug on one of these and have a question for you if you don't mind. I will also be using the WZO EAF focuser and was wondering how you handle the mirror locks, do you leave these unlocked so that your focuser can adjust the focus as needed when switching filters or do you go through a focus routine with each filter change? I know you are using ASIAIR where as I am using NINA and it has a setting you can use to focus after each filter change. So just wondering how you deal with the focus lock if at all? By the way, congratulations on your first light with the new to you scope. Fantastic shot if the galaxy.

i dont see a filter field for auto run and am i suppose to cover lens with cap

Superb, exciting, awesome to watch--all I do is look through my vintage Classic C8/C5s with my aberrated old eyes :-) and even that is still thrilling...

とても面白く、参考になりました。ありがとうございます😊 どれも綺麗な画像ですね redcatはお値段以上の実力がありますね 動画、頑張ってください

Very helpful, thank you. Worked first time when I tried it just now.

Hey Russell, enjoyed the video but it gave me a question. I just received my MN190 and was setting it up to image last night but the focuser was not holding the camera securely. Not that I thought it was going to fall out but it wobbled side to side pretty badly. Have you had this issue? How did you overcome it? Thanks!

What if you used one shot camera with just light pollution filter.

The dark flat method is great. Thanks!😊

All I can say is Well Done!

Well what fucking is it? Auto exposure or using the exposure you took the light picture at ? like wtf kind of video is this?

thought yuo wanted the flats to be the same exp as your lights?

Nice I will try doing it with my 5” telescope it doesn’t have an automatic mount so I will have to do many photos and stack them

Why type of mount are you using

Great video Russell.Please make a video of the dome in action with the telescope installed,thanks..

Hello sir what size is your filter ? 2” or 36mm ? Thank you

Hows it holding a year after

All starless once are really good. Need your input on Redcat51. Have you tried it with dslr and how diffrent would it be framing the same target?

Nice can you look at it with cheap telescope?

When I use the panel, I take the sun shade off the Edge HD. Have you found better results with the shade on?

Thx for this. Can i ask why you just don’t go to Live mode and select the flats and darks to be autocalibrated and made directly into master flat and master dark fits?

Thanks for this...I am relatively new to this, and what I have been able to glean from other YT videos is that "darks" is accomplished by placing the cap over the scope and exposing for the same length of time your lights used. So, if your lights were 180 seconds, your darks would be 180 seconds with the cap on the scope/lens. Are "dark flats" the samw as "darks?"

I wondered what the ar option in skymaps was for. No i know and will actually use it, ty :)

Dunno about others, but id find "failure" videos valuable.

I like the look of your mahoosive tripod pier combo. It looks solid af. Is it supplied with your mount (whatever it is) or available separately?

A 280mm Matsutov-Newtonian at F4 would be nice.

So you do not shoot bias frames? Ok so now when all of your frames get added to pixinsight, you add your lights, flats and do you add the dark and dark flats together?.. I am confused

What camera are you using? I have a similar tracing pad and at the lowest settings I can't take flats with longer exposures than 0.5 with a 533MC PRO and a 3600MC PRO.

Does ASIAir stack the flat frames and dark flat frames with the lights? Or is that done on the PC?

Wow. I literally spent over $4k for this, with accessories. This is my first telescope and it's supposed to arrive tommorrow. I'm so excited.

Redcat 51 or askar 400? Which better?

Muchas gracias desde España. Al fin he podido realizar el mosaico, y muy sencillo. Eres un faro en este mundo de la astrofotografía

Hi. Thanks for sharing. I have just bought an identical SkyShed Pod set up from ABS, and will be putting paving in place shortly. I am wondering which screws you attached the pod to the pavers with, and how they have performed? Thanks , Paul

Hey man, well done! Planning to buy one very soon, not sure about the size to choose, which model is yours? XL1 ...XL2...XL3...XL4? Thanks in advance...

Honestly I'm not quite sure what this video is supposed to show me about 4 different telescopes. I could not follow any of the comparisons at all. Just a bunch of images a you quietly spewing numbers out that made no sense to me at all. I am a novice so I'm sure you must have been making this video strictly for your subscribers so my apologies for lack of knowledge of the model numbers you were spouting off. Great images obviously but not much help to me as someone trying to see differences in equipment or techniques. Thank you anyway for the beautiful images!

Why is there oil in the camera ? I was just about to buy an ASI 6200MM and this video popped up. What is the oil for? Thermal? All cameras I've ever used are dry with a desiccant of nitrogen purged.

Is this part of the local group ?

Hey Russel, hope you are well and back on CZcams soon! Miss your work. Rgds from Florida. L
