I’d buy it without hesitation. Except my wife seems to have this idea about living in a real house and buying groceries. A real kill joy.

The only problem with all alt az mounts is they do not accommodate for field rotation... So you are limited to how much you can stack before field rotation becomes very prevalent... Astrophotography is a bottomless money pit, just depends how hooked you become... This scope is unfortunately over priced the seestar S50 & S30 are probably a better starting point due to their price...

Orion Nebula looks like what the 500$ seestar s50 gives, without editing

Wouldnt it be fun if the telescope is actually not showing anything but instead the app is downloading images from the web resizing them on your phone.

I can confirm your experience. The pictures are awesome. However, with my Origin after about 1.5 hours of use, the internal WLAN connection becomes weak and the response time to an input command too long. I hope the next update by Celestron will change this.

Smart telescopes are cool, But i dont think they should take over astrophotography

❤❤❤

Great video Craig, and wonderful images thanks

Good review mate. The orion nebula image is awesome. Makes me want a telescope! Love to see whats on offer to use my R5 with

Insane

Orion is my favourite! Really awesome piece of gear. Thanks for the video!

Just had time to watch this and just like many others in the comments below, I do agree with what you've said mate and with the other comments below. Enjoy your new trip to Japan mate and I look forward to see the results. And I say that for the sake of my own curiosity of what photos you'll be proud to share because you enjoyed taking them, not for the sake of algorithm "bangers".

Great video mate.

In all seriousness a really interesting video - showing the amazing images that can be obtained Very impressed.

My title idea was better

This Captain C Pitts of the Starship Nebula 😊

Well done! Great video. I love a well put together running video. I seen myself on the start line with you. I loved it! Possibly going back in 2025 as I liked the route and it’s handy it’s a loop. Also not far from Bristol. I’ll keep my eye out for you on the next one! Great achievement mate! 👍👍

Great video....awesome shot of the small red and white boat!!! DD

I really enjoyed your video! Great work at the end with those fires and wow, what shots this camera produces! Many greetings from Germany. Merry Christmas! Alfredo

I can assure you every photographer on Instagram feels the same way… I myself felt the pressure to go shoot every single Tokyo location I had seen on Instagram like everybody else haha … enjoy your next visit to Japan ;)

You are right but keep up with the great work dear 😊😍 🙋 Greetings from Istanbul - Turkey 🇹🇷 💛🤗🙋

I can't keep watching, the noises from your mouth make me sick

What sim are u using to learn on?

I started posting more on YT

Good times man! Reels & TikTok, and improving phone technology has lowered the bar of entry for anyone to create content, and have a voice on social media, which isn't a bad thing. I look back at those early years where engagement was 5 times what it is now, but I often chased 'the shot', instead of remembering to document life around me. My engagement dropped off dramatically, but I love photography more than ever. It's the process I enjoy most, as it's one of the only outlets in life that forces me to be present. Remember to shoot for you and not the platform, or the outcome.

I couldn’t agree with you more Craig. Like many others, I’ve also lost faith in IG. BTW, I’m loving my new Q3 that you sold me :-)

Great video Craig 👍

Hi Craig, great to see you back. You're right, social media drive people nuts. Be selfish, just keep shooting for yourself. That's what I do, I love the whole process of going out and taking pictures but I barely share them on Insta or FB. Enjoy you trip to Japan 😉

la has utilizado con ISO alto?

Well said mate, cheap entertainment seems to be the currency the short form algorithms trade-in. Good Luck with Japan, I look forward to seeing your work which comes from it!

Nice one man, look forward to the new content to follow 👏🏻

Been almost 18 months since I threw a wobbly and deleted IG, FB, Linkedin, threads and Twitter in the spur of the moment. Never going back. You don't realise how ridiculous it is until you're off it. Kept KZbin, but I upload most my stuff with the publish to feed turned off, so it limits my distribution. Considered turning comments off, but keeping them for now. Anyway, just to say that you're onto something important. Had 2 months in Tokyo in 2021. Wonderful experience. Enjoy! Nice watch (7X Pro?), and bring back the 2019 beard!!!

No need to apologise at all mate, I’m looking forward to seeing the shots you take in Japan

You hit the nail on head with this one, mate. So many of us photographers feeling this way. Hope the Japan 2025 trip goes well and you get some great shots out of it!

Hi Craig how do you find the h2 as a walkabout camera ? not to heavy ? I do a lot of wandering /street photography and that does concern me

Thank you, thank you!! You made it easy to find. Keep up the great content.

It happen teh same thing to me, . A crashed, a continue, switch to normal mode, then the drone go away and crash badly. Now I undestand why.

I can’t save shit on my x-t50. The save option is always grayed out 😢

Is this trip a good one to do in the fall? October?

Doubt you’ll see my comment considering this video is 4 months old but can you tell me what the sim is and if you need an actual pc set up or a laptop? I’m still saving to buy the avata 2 but I definitely would like to practice in the mean time I will buy the controller separately to practice before a full purchase of the drone etc.

Where’s the story?

Great video and well done both 👏🏻👏🏻

wow thats a nice portrait. great job sir. the compositions, the color, the lighting, this all actually harder to archive without mentioning bokeh

Kind of hysterical and ironic that someone that looks like he could beat the fuk out of whoever he wants to is so worried about his fpv drone flying. Drones bring back the inner child for sure!

Amazing effort. I did the race to the tower several years ago on the Cotswold way and this took me back to how hard the night time was and how unforgiving the Cotswold way is. I'm hoping to do this one next year. Well done.
