I think the next video is going to be about editing astrophotography images. Hopefully I'll have some time to work on it this weekend. Thanks for the support 👍
Man this was literally me in March 2021. Me being completely new to astros got completly overloaded with the amount of equipment needed for astrophotography. Got sad a bit but then started astrophotography on my mobile. Started with random stars and learnt how to do it good enough. Did some star trails,etc. Recently, I captured the milky way on my phone for my first time. I am so excited with my journey. Hope to get a basic camera in a year or so.
I love it. It's nice to know I'm not alone in that initial sense of being overwhelmed. It really is such a rewarding hobby. And it's addictive too. Once you start seeing your images getting better, it makes you want to grow and push it to see what's possible
@@MrWilsonsChannel thank you. I am certainly getting that feeling to improve it more and more. Like I live in a bortle scale 8 region. I get decent amount of stars. But since i have improved a bit. I want more darkness. So, i go to outside the city on the highway. Click some good images. Later, return home to mom scolding me why did i go to a random dark road alone. But, my inner self is satisfied with the images i clicked and couldn't wait to process the data🤣🤣.
My scope came with a free camera which is similar to the ASI 120MC-S and no instructions. What should I download in order to atempt using it? I have another similar camera that connects to my phone via Wifi that I have been able to capture the moon with a blue ring around it. Filters don't seem to attach to the camera. How do I eliminate the blue ring without attaching filters? What do I need to do to see Jupiter and Saturn through that same camera? I am able to find those objects as well as many others with regular lenses with attached filters and get beautiful views, but when I switch to the camera I am unable to view/find them. Thanks in advance .... The ASTROimbecile
I use a device called the ASI air pro. It's a small computer about the size of a deck of cards. It only works with zwo, however. It doesn't have a screen, so you access it with your tablet or smartphone using an app. It makes taking pictures much easier. You can use software and a laptop if you prefer. I did that once, but found it far more complicated. An app you can use with your laptop is called sharpcap. Take a look at my channel if you want. I've made quite a few tutorial videos. One you might want to look into is called "I'm new to astrophotography and don't know what to do". I'll walk you through a lot of the steps in how to use the ASI Air pro in that video. What kind of telescope are you using with your camera?
@@MrWilsonsChannel I am using the Celestron 120 EQ3M-R5 It is not sold in North Amnerica. I live in China. I watched that video a few days ago. It was really good. I may get the ASI air pro one day, but will try using what I have to get started and see where that leads me.
If I'm looking at the right one, that's a refractor telescope. Those types of telescopes can be subject to chromatic aberrations, but that doesn't really sound like what you're describing with the blue ring. Can you post an example photo of this blue ring phenomena to Instagram or something so that I can see what exactly you're working with? I'm also trying to think about why you wouldn't be able to find the planets, but can find other celestial objects. If I'm looking at the right scope, yours has a focal length of 1,000 mm. That's pretty long for a refractor, but still a little shorter than we usually use for planetary photography. But that doesn't explain why you can't find a planet at all. You should still be able to get a picture of one, even if the planet is a little small in the field of view. The only thing I can think of, is that your go-to Mount might be slightly off. That happens to my ALT AZ mount frequently. You might try adding a finder scope device like the telead. It's an unnecessarily large device, but lightweight and absolutely amazing for finding things. You'd be able to look through the little reticle to see if your telescope is off, and then use the hand controller to manually get it centered on your target. If that turns out to be what is causing the problem, then we have to look at what is causing the amount to be off in the first place. Could be a balancing issue, incorrect time and date, or incorrect location in the hand controller? When shooting planets, we don't usually take photos of them like we do with deep space objects. Instead you take a short video of them and use a software program like Registax to stack all of the frames of the video into a single picture. That technique will get you a sharper image compared to a single still photo.
This is going to be an interesting series of videos.
Omg this is great!!! I wish your future self would visited my past self before expending too much
!
This series of videos will definitely save nerds like you alot of money, and frustration! Well done! Love the jokes too lol!
I generally never comment on videos but this was very well done! Good job and super informative!
Such a great video, thank you!!!
Looking forward to the next episode!!

Pretty cute.
Very, very good. Had me laughing too.
Genius Mr Wilson!
Fantastic editing
So glad I found your channel!
Nice! :) and the second number..... 42
I was wondering if anyone would catch that reference 😉
Affinity Photo over photoshop everytime, cost effective and new updates you dont pay extra for
I haven't heard of that one before. I'm going to have to check it out 👍
Are you related to Aurora Lipper from supercharged science ?
No. But now I'm curious and have to look up who that is 😉
