The Farthest Object I've Ever Captured: How Far Can My Telescope See?
zhlédnutí 2KPřed měsícem
I broke my record for the most distant object I have ever photographed. I photographed a quasar near m97. This object is over 10 billion light years away. But it has to be said that it is difficult at this range of distances to make precise statements about the distance. I used a Newtonian telescope with a focal length of 750mm. To make sure that the object I photographed was really this quasar...

How to find the North Star "Polaris" in the Night Sky
Thanks for the clear information!
I have the Hiopiaco 30-260x80 good for looking at the moon but the planets are blurry blobs
@@ryanfahrne5318 Thank you for your comment. I can't see so many details on planets too🔭😊
I did and only saw a blurr. But I also put the lens in this system it worked. Could you comment please?
What equipment did you use exactly?
@@FelixsAstrophotography I have Dobson 150/750 and NIkon 5200. It started working when I used Nikon with adapter (barlow 2x) as close to the scope as possible.
If I am correct, the focus point moves further away from the telescope when using a Barlow lens.Therefore I would try it with a spacer ring without a Barlow lens. That should work
@@FelixsAstrophotography That should be however without Barlow it did not work :/. Perhaps I did something wrong. I will do more experiments. Thank you for your advice - and your videos.
No problem😊. Try it out. If it doesn't work,feel free to write a comment again. We'll find a solution so that you can get into focus🔭
Thank you. You answered so many questions for me. I'm selling my telescope and would like to transition to binoculars. Now, I know where to start. 👍🏻
Thank you for your comment😊🙏. I am very happy that the video was helpful. For more videos please subscribe to my channel. Felix🔭
can U see color in nebulas, double stars, star clusters or planets using 20x80 binoculars? By The Way, very good video.
Thank you for your comment. I could see a light green colour in the Orion Nebula, otherwise it is actually difficult with nebulae. With stars you can see the different colours and with planets sometimes too, for example with Mars
Very good. A pity I can´t use it with my C8 which has alongated stars all around the edges. I suffer a lot when I try to proccess the pictures. Clear skies.
Thank you for your comment.Which camera do you use?
@@FelixsAstrophotography For the moment a Canon 600D, In a future I will buy a mono, cooled one
That notion about power supply is great. Mount should always be on a separate power supply.
Thank you for your comment. I personally also find this tip very important.Which mount are you using?
I got Epsilon (Newtonian) 1.5 years ago, and never collimated since, despite taking it everywhere. Surprised?! Proper built scope doesn’t need collimating often if ever. Moreover, collimating of upper end scopes must be done by experts. Scope on your background is mass produced. It has very poor mechanical construction; of course, it will need collimating after every swinging to target.
You're right. Of course it also depends on the telescope
Nice cutting 😊
Thank you so so much.I really appreciate your support 😊
great video, thanks felix !
Thank you so so much.😊🙏What equipment do you use?
4 great methods, thanks
all four of them, I confess
Thank you for your comment.I hope the video was helpful. Felix😊🔭

@@FelixsAstrophotography I understand your answer 😊 It's my attempt 😁
Interesting content!

Vielen Dank🙏
Which tripod/head are you using in this video?
I am using the cullmann Primax 390 tripod.Thank you so much for your comment😊🙏
Great video !
Thank you so much🙏
Felix, where are you from? DK? Thx for video
Hi.I am from Germany 😊
Word of caution to any newcomers to this hobby: You will not see stars/nebulae like the ones in the photos in this video. It's completely inaccurate where he says "These are some objects you can observe with these binoculars" and then shows photographs. These types of photos require long exposures (2-5 minutes) with significant processing, often with specialty cameras. Visual astronomy can be a very fulfilling hobby, but it is super important to understand the limitations of physics before making any purchase or decision. This stuff is expensive, and many people get led astray.
You are absolutely right. Some of these images have an exposure time of more than 8 hours. As far as I know, I also mentioned that you cannot see the objects exactly as in the image and that it could be difficult with some objects. Nevertheless, I chose these objects because I have already observed them through binoculars
Hey Felix nice video. Im new to astronomy I dont really know where to start can you recomend some binoculars? Or even a telescope for a begginer? Cheers man!
I can recommend 20×80 binoculars. I have been using such binoculars for years for astronomy. I have already uploaded a video about these binoculars. I can absolutely recommend them. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask me.😊🔭
@@FelixsAstrophotographyI watched the video and I just bought the Bresser 20x80 on a discount, thanks so much man, cant wait to try them out. Keep up the good work Ill be following.
No problem. I am very happy that I could help you. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask me.😊 Felix🔭
@@FelixsAstrophotography can you recommend a tripod for the Bresser 20x80?
I personally use the Cullmann Primax 390 tripod and can absolutely recommend it. I can also make a video about it.
very good but work on your background, it looks a little weird almost like a bad noise removal program, also get more h alpha on that it would look very nice
Thank you so so much 😊 I will try to get more exposure time in the future 🔭
widefield, not deep sky
Deep sky means that you photograph objects that are outside our solar system. The objects in the picture are outside the solar system. That's what I thought. Of course it's also widefield astrophotography 😊🔭 If I am wrong please correct me
I like the description of your equipment. Nice explanation.
Thanks a lot🙏
A great video there Felix, and a fascinating target to capture. I noticed when you zoomed into the target there looked like there was a bit of walking noise. Were you dithering during your session? All the very best.
Thank you for your comment.😊🙏 Unfortunately I forgot to turn on dithering.🔭
Dude you gotta work on your accent. I really have trouble understanding what you’re saying. 😅
Thank you for your comment. I will try to pay more attention to it in the coming videos😊
Thanks for this video , I have bought it and I wait a good sky, it is cloudy now :-( to test it with my ASI 2600 DUO and my 200/800 Skywatcher with 13 years old 😀 I already have the Baader MPCCIII but it appears by my reseller , the Max Field 0,95x is really better !
Just a question : can you confirm where is the back focus of 55mm : from the 2mm spacer ? Thanks ;-)
I use a 1mm spacer ring. This means I get almost exactly 55mm. I can definitely recommend the coma corrector
Definitely!
great review!
Thanks a lot😊
I have a question. At the 10:10 mark what is the blue dot with the blue aurora around it? Will you zoom your telescope in on that?
I'm not entirely sure what you mean exactly. However, if you mean the Blue Nebula then it is the planetary nebula m97. Is that what you meant?
@FelixsAstrophotography what's in the middle of it. Sorry my question was confusing. But I see the galaxy. I see the blue dot. My question is what's in the middle of the blue ring? Can your telescope see what's in the middle? Is it a star? A solar system? I was just curious. I love watching your videos..
If you zoom in a little more you can see some stars in the nebula.
While i also do astrophotography, i don't own a binocular. I do aurora chasing however, so i've wondered if using a bino would enhance the naked eye visibility of auroras- Do you happen to have tried that yet? :)
I haven't done that yet but it should definitely work. I would look for binoculars with a large diameter. 80mm should be perfect less should be enough too😊👍
What reflector did you use?
Thank you for your comment. That's right, I unfortunately forgot to say that. I used a skywatcher 150/750PDS telescope.😊🔭
good content, maybe I should also buy a comacorrector 🤣👍
Thank you very much. Maybe this is a good idea😊👍
I liked your Video. It amazes me that your focus for the nights' imaging session was the quasar. That is so cool. Most other imagers would process that little smudge out of the image. You understood what it was, and made a video about it. I think you have re-discovered some much needed enthusiasm for our hobby. I've always said.. "its not what you see, its what you are looking at" that makes our passion so interesting. Great stuff. Joe D
You are totally right. Thank you for your comment.Your support means a lot to me😊🙏
hello felix, Could you help me with a question about two models of binoculars?
Hi.For Sure I can help you😊
Do you also often see airplanes flying through your pictures?😊
It all depends on the direction I am photographing. Sometimes airplanes fly through my picture😊👍
Amazing
Vielen Dank😊
bresser have spherical main mirror and built in barlow lens, so why dont you take some cheap parabolic reflector without any additional optical structure on it
This telescope does not have an integrated Barlow lens
The Bresser telescope also has no spherical mirror
Hey Felix, nice video. I have a question for you. Do you have problems with the eyepiece rubbers(eye relief rubber cups) of your 20x80 binos? I have the same Bresser 20x80 and those pieces of rubber have start to tear. Left one is tear all the way and the right one is starting to tear. Do you know if i can replace it? I searched to buy and replace them but i didn't find any.
Hi. Thank you for your comment. Yes, I actually have exactly the same problem. Unfortunately, both are no longer attached to the binoculars. Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution yet. As soon as I find something, I'll write to you again.
@@FelixsAstrophotography oooh this seems to be a general problem for those binos. I'll try to glue them with glue for shoes( it works with rubber and it remains elastic). I'll return with feedback. thx for answering and clear skies :D
Unfortunately, I have already thrown the parts away because they could no longer be used. I wish you clear skies too😊🔭
“Catch object high in the sky”. What if I would like to take picture of M6, M7, M23 or many clusters in Scorpius. They ain’t going above 20-22 degrees.
Thank you for your comment. In this case you have to photograph them when they are very close to the horizon. Unfortunately you have no other option
@@FelixsAstrophotography Maybe there is an option. Locate rig in the South Hemisphere: Australia, Namibia, etc.
Of course you can do that, but unfortunately it is a bit expensive😊🔭
You are in a top shape. One video every 2-3 days. Awesome! What about quality of motorized focuser?! Focusing every 30-60 min with bad focuser (like on your scope) could be counter-productive.
Thank you very much. Yes, I am currently putting a lot of work into this channel. I will probably also get a motorized focuser😊
@@FelixsAstrophotography I could recommend Moonlite focuser. It will substitute entire focuser in your scope: focuser, motor and controller. Zero backlash, never let me down for years.
tip: get a bahtinov mask theyre awesome
Good tip.Thank you for your comment 😊👍
Good one, Felix !!
Thank you very much 😊 🙏
Thanks for the information. I hope that I will avoid the mistakes.
Vielen vielen Dank 😊🙏
👍
Vielen Dank 😊
so all you need is the camera , tripod and software ? you don’t need telescope? this looks awesome
yes you can take pictures of deep sky objects with just a lens tripod and camera.
My left ear!
At that time I unfortunately did not know that you have to switch to stereo in the software
