    In this video, we use a DSLR camera, a telephoto lens and a tripod to take a picture of Saturn and Jupiter. Sure, the images are far from incredible with this setup, but as a beginner, it feels very nice to see these pop up on your camera!

    For planetary photography like this a remote shutter is really helpful. They are inexpensive and they usually let you use autofocus on bright objects like planets

    Using ISO 6400 on Jupiter - I don't think so!!

    đŸ’„ Fun video, thanks.
    I really wanted a t shirt but at the cost for the shirt I felt that shipping was included. 8 bucks more just wasn’t going over well with me.

    I was amazed when I first tried to shoot Jupiter years ago that I could capture all the Galilean moons. Hopefully I will have a clear night this weekend. I'm going to try my sigma 600mm lens adapted to an Olympus EM-5 MK3. With the 2X crop factor on a M43 sensor, I will have an equivalent focal length of 1200 mm. For comparison, that Canon camera with the 300mm lens gives a 480mm equivalent focal range. Just need some clear skies!

      No it doesn’t, the sensor is just smaller. Sensor size doesn’t have to do anything with focal length, it only affects the FOV

    You should be able to take a picture of Uranus with a camera lens...

    C”mon guys, get serious. All you need is 4-6” telescope and a webcam-type came, I like the ZWO brand myself, but there are a ton of cameras under $200. Then you’ll get some really nice images.

      Can't tell if you're serious or not lol. They have a video from like 3 years ago where they use their planetary camera and their 8" newt and got some pretty nice pics for a first time. This video is obviously aimed at people just staring out with astrophotography.

      @@seriousbassface Didn’t know about their earlier video, so sorry about that but I started out with a digital camera, too, and while it worked, I think they might be setting up people who don’t live in the greatest astrophotography areas for failure. Planetary imaging can’t be done with a single frame unless all you’re looking for are the Galilean moons and maybe a fuzzy view of Saturn. The moon, ok, the planets, not so much. Then again, digital cameras have come a long way since my old Canon20D

      @john No worries you’re good! That's a fair point, but I would suppose as an absolute beginner that could be exciting to just get the moons (it was for me when I started).
      it also might be possible with certain setups as you were saying too. I can't confirm as I haven't uploaded to my computer yet but when Jupiter was at opposition the other night I could see the two bands of Jupiter on my screen off a single shot from my 500mm lens and mirrorless camera. I'm sure it's going to look like shit though haha but it still surprised me and made me excited.
      Having said that, I still desperately want an 8” reflector (or upgrade my mount and go bigger) to try and get some good planet shots too lol.

      @@seriousbassface đŸ‘ŒđŸ» good luck! I built my first 3” reflector in ‘57 so I’m an old timer
started out with film in the 70’s, kept my first fuzzy Jupiter and Saturn just for giggles! I have a 16” tracking DOB for planetary and lunar (too big, should have gone for a 14) and I use Firecapture for video capture, PIPP and AS3 for sorting and stacking and Registax for post-processing plus photoshop as needed. Doing more h-alpha solar imaging now - the sky in Ohio hasn’t been very good for solar system or deep sky for a couple of years now.

      @@john-or9cf That's the whole point of the video, to show people who only have a DSLR and tripod that yes, it is possible to shoot some planets. When we were students and had 0 money, this is all we could do and were very happy.
