Very late to the party, but congratulations! Pro tip: setting your camera focus to infinity will help it not autofocus a lot during flight.

I'd also recommend the JollyLogic chute release to reduce the drift on descent!

Oh nice. Thanks

Yea of course. I'm not HPR certified or anything like y'all yet because I'd rather wait to get my full L1 when I'm 18 in the spring of 25. But I use it in LPR all the time. Very durable and easy to use. It can also help boost your launch constraints to fly in higher wind. Overall 11/10 would recommend to everyone.

Thanks so much for the video! I'm assigned to write an article on this, so your video is an amazing help. Excited to see it with my own eyes!

@RichardsRocketry 2 ай бұрын

I'm so glad it was helpful. We quite literally made the video because after doing all the research on it, we felt it would be a waste if we didn't share all the info to save others the time! So I hope it did just that for you. Good luck catching it.

I am going to start looking for it on the 27th. I have a good view of the southeast sky. Thanks for the video. I really enjoy looking at comets. Have new binoculars to try and view it.

@RichardsRocketry 3 ай бұрын

That's great to hear. Here's to hoping that it won't even need binoculars! 🤞☄️

Thanks for this amazing guide! On the spreadsheet with details - is there a resource that lets you dynamically put in a location (say a GPS coordinate), and it updates with all the details with respect to that coordinate?

@RichardsRocketry 3 ай бұрын

That would be awesome if so. I did these all by hand and I'm not aware of such a source. Maybe at a minimum, chat GPT can give the sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moon set for particular location in a table form according to date. Hopefully someone sees your comment and lets us know!

@MikeKrafft-u3u 3 ай бұрын

would a sky tracker mount help? Does the comet appear as stationary as other stars or planets?

@RichardsRocketry 3 ай бұрын

Good question. I think it should set roughly at the same speed of other stars (and our star) that are along the celestial equator which is about 15° per hour. It's going to be slightly different, because when Earth rotates around the next day, it's not in front of the exact same stars. But it's definitely close enough to be considered at about the same speed.

@michaelkrafft7241 3 ай бұрын

@@RichardsRocketry thank you, I sort of assumed that at roughly 30 to 45 sec exposure it might be close enough.

@RichardsRocketry 3 ай бұрын

@@michaelkrafft7241 For most mid October days, I think that would be too much. If you look at the end of the video where I go over our settings for the shoot at Joshua tree, we only did 6 seconds. And Neowise was less bright than this is supposed to be.

@mjkman0101 2 ай бұрын

I’m going to be trying out a SkyWatcher. On a wide angle lens it bumps up exposure times from 15 seconds to 3 minutes, so with good calibration you can at least expect a 2-3x bump in exposure timing for a telephoto, potentially even more. Comes down to technique and your experience level with the gear you have to get good data. Would highly recommend practicing on clear night skies on random stars / constellations on the nights after the comet sets.

@RichardsRocketry 2 ай бұрын

@@mjkman0101How wide of an angle? I'd be worried about it looking too small in the picture. We caught it covering a quarter of the entire picture frame at 100mm on a full frame camera today. On the wider angle shots down to 20mm, the comet was just a speck.

@dominicc8264 3 ай бұрын

i just started understanding how to use my telescope, this video is the perfect timing, thanks you guys

@RichardsRocketry 3 ай бұрын

We're terrible at telescopes, haha 🔭. Maybe that why we mostly do meteor showers and things we can see with our high powered binoculars. At least this comet should be too big for a telescope between perihelion and late October!

You really went for it with that I motor lol I'm planning to use an H try and keep it low and slow for my first go at it. edit: Bummer only the one video was a really good one though thanks for sharing your experience! I will definitely keep my eye out for any future uploads.
