Awesome video, Steve. I love being able to see folks doing a good job capturing these wider fields of view around galaxies too. Yeah, it's great seeing the galaxies close up with the big scopes... but... these views are priceless too (IMO).
@@enteringintospace4685 I have an ES 80 triplet and an HEQ5, ASI1600mm pro, ASI 290 for guiding and I just got a new atik filter wheel for shooting NB and LRGB. What software do you use to drizzle?
@@300BLKSUBSONIC very cool! That 290 is super sensitive! I use apt to control my mount and camera and dithering between it and phd2. I stacked and drizzle my subs in dss. I'm getting bright corners in all my narrowband images....its more prevalent in my oii and sii data. Are you seeing the same thing?
I have yet to shoot anything in NB because the weather has been uncooperative, but I did manage to shoot a couple hours of LRGB a couple days ago. I'm actually using this video at the moment to mess around with the data in PS. I will let you know if I get the same thing after this weather clears and I can shoot some NB. NGC 7000 is just starting to rise up above my neighbors trees.
I also have a 80mm refractor, so yeah, not great for small objects, like M51. But, I am getting close to buying a dedicated astro camera. One thing I am looking at, is a camera with BIG mega pixels. So, one can crop the shit outta a shot like M51 and make it 'bigger', but without loosing much detail. Hmm, just my current thoughts. Of course the best alternative is a longer focal length telescope. LOL, unfortunately outta the question for me right now!
Yeah my 80 has been great! I really think 800 to 1000mm is probably max for someone like me me who is setting up each night. Those longer focal lengths I think are best for either planetary or an observatory where your pa and alignment remain fairly constant.
Thanks!! Uhm...not sure....I would have to say my first videos would be fairly basic. But I guess I dont have a video on "photoshop basics" give me some suggestions on what your looking for and make one !
@@enteringintospace4685 i like your how to videos, get so much from them and down to earth. but i am new to photoshop like many others. It would be good to have someone to show how to setup photoshop that way we could follow along step by step on the same page. Procession is the final battle i am learning. Five *****
@@enteringintospace4685 I found a workaround for that one, in DSS you ignore the autosave and save the loaded image as a 32 bit tiff file instead. The photoshop will open it, but yes you need a decent machine and a shedload of RAM in order to work on those huge files.
I’ve learnt so much from your vids - thanks!
Wow!! Thanks, that's great to hear.
Great tutorial on post-processing. - Thank you!
Hey Thanks!
Nice job. CTRL L will save you time while stretching.
Thanks! yeah i should use hot keys more. Thanks for the tip!
Very well done! Glad I found you! Like the guitar music.
Hey Right on! Thanks for watching!
Cracking vlog, as always I’ve learned a great deal on APT and PS. Great detailed image for widefield 👍 thanks
Cracking indeed!!😊 Thanks!!

Good stuff as always. I will photograph a galaxy, I will. Keep this stuff coming. Thank you.
Appreciate that....thanks for watching!
Dude love your videos. Your shooting with almost my exact setup so it’s really interesting to see. Subscribed!
Cool and thanks for subscribing! Whats your set up consist of?

Hi Steve, great vid. Why don't you use your 150/750 Newt?
The 150 isnt really made for imaging...lots of light refraction. My back is rough to get right.
Hopefully I'll have a 8" astrograph soon.
again good stuff, do you have real basic video on processing for beginners using photo shop

Did you drizzle the image at all?
Yep...2x drizzle. Since I've started shooting mono I'm able to drizzle. For some reason ps couldn't handle the file size of an osc drizzled image.
