Thank you. I’ve been surfing for the past two weeks looking for a video that was really for beginners and countless of them say they are but they assume way too much. I was able to follow your work flow which is the first time I think I’m beginning to understand.
Ah good news! Let me know if you got any question 👍
I may be a bit late to the party but this video was very helpful. Perfect for a beginner. As stated before in the comments- just the right level and flow for a beginner.
Great news glad it was helpful! 👍
Gotta love the asiair 😎. Nice video!
Cheers mate! I’m new to it but loving it
Looks ace fella!! Well done absolutely great effort considering the hands still healing.
Cheers buddy!
Well I knew you’d go down that bloody rabbit hole mate! Worst still you’ve provided me with a shopping list! Your image of NA nebula was sound Howard.
Haha it was just a matter of time unfortunately. Hope you are doing well mate
Great vid dude. Makes me really want to get an automated set up like that, but the wallet says absolutely not.
Cheers mate. I’m loving it. Only good thing that came out of the thumbby incident
Nice vid Howard. The ASIAir looks like a fantastic bit of kit. I’m still faffing around with PHD2 and APT, on an old laptop, and it’s nowhere near as slick as that (although at least I don’t need to setup from scratch every night). But that ASI…. 🤔
It’s so frustrating having to set up every night! Cannot recommend the ASI enough. It’s been game changing for me in the current circumstances. It is pretty closed off tho so only works with certain gear. I would say that’s the only down side of it
Hi Howard, thanks for the video. I came to see the ASIAir Mini work with the Star Adventurer GTI. What guide scope and guide camera are you using in this setup? Thanks again!
They work great together! Zwo 120mm camera and the FLO Astro essentials 50mm guide scope👍
Hello thinking about buying the ASIAIR Plus, I do have a Sony Alpha A7 with a 300mm Tamron lens, I was wondering when you setup the shots, does the program account automatically for the Processing time of the pictures ? For example on my Sony if I take 5 min exposure, I then need to wait 5 min for processing before taking another photo, does it account for that ? Or do I set the intervals manually ?
You need to turn off the internal noise reduction setting I think it’s called. You don’t want the camera to do this as it removes stars thinking it’s noise. You set the camera to bulb and the asi does the rest
@@AstroHBF Awesome, I tried taking one 30sec photo and it displays it right away :D What a difference :D
One more thing I have an older Sony Alpha A7, how do I connect it to the ASIAIR Mini ? mini-usb to usb-a, or can I use sony-multi to usb-c, what cable do you use ?
First.... *gushes with moistness
lol
Hey man great video, I'm just after buying a Williams optics zenithstar 73ed and was wondering if the gti mount would be ok with the scope and mirrorless camera? Do yoh know what weight all your gear was? Cheers
I don’t know the weight of that scope but all my gear is just less than 5KG including the camera. I have bought a second counterweight (the ioptron ones fit) and it balances fine but I’m deffo close to the limit
@@AstroHBF Cheers man, I know it's probably wiser to get a Heq5 or 3 but I really want something a little more portable. If it turns out to be a pain I'll downsize to a redcat51 or something similar. Great video too, very helpful to a beginner 👍
@simonpower6591 I think the redcat might be too heavy also! The 72ed nice and flimsy so light 😂
@@AstroHBF I'll give it a shot anyway 👍thanks again man
Ah, i had an A7iii and didn't realise you could connect the ASIair directly to it.
It’s a fairly new addition being able to run certain Sonys 👍
