Thank you :) I'm glad you were able to see it from Adelaide. My freinds back home in Canberra were not so fortunate as they were under cloud.

@@Y.Shishani when I had this camera it was stock. No mods. Occasionally I used a CLS clip filter. Now, I use a Camon EOS RP but only for Canon lenses and not on the telescope. I use a cooled ZWO ASI1600MC camera on the telescope now. More pics I’ve done can be found here: www.astrobin.com/users/SOL_Sky_Observatory_Lanyon/

Thanks! :)

Thank you Mark. I felt very blessed to have that oppurtunity for sure.

It is definitely a lovely spot. Well worth visiting :)

No E.T.'s around here sorry. 😉 But I'll let you know if I find one! 😁

Thank you :)

Thanks Doug! Yes, I was surprised at how many were detected.

Thanks Mark. Sleep is important ! 🛌

Sorry to hear Doug. The cloud was a bit frustrating for me too as I would of liked to do a complete timelapse. I thank God that the clouds parted enough to allow some imaging. I took 500 frames @ 18mp ROI to about 12mp each emage. That gave about 20 seconds for each burst to avoid cloud wiping out the image for stacking.

Or is it just "meteors run from Romania?"

I use a CCTV system with motion detection. The cameras are low light, low noise. Makes it easier to search each night’s footage. My system are Dahua. Currently the best camera they have for low light is a dual lens model is the one on this link. Being dual lens it will need to be calibrated on first use, otherwise you will het double stars. You will need to log into its web gui to do this. www.dahuasecurity.com/au/products/All-Products/Network-Cameras/WizMind-Series/5-Series/Full-color/IPC-HDW5449H-ASE-D2

Thanks Mark! 😁

Thanks Mark! :)

These were captured using Dahua Low light cameras connected to an 8 channel pro recorder.

Thank you :)

I certainly enjoyed the outing as well. The mosquitoes were relentless though!😂

Thanks Doug! Yes, I agree, it was definitely a bonus to get it from so high up in lattitude

Thanks Ian 👍

Thanks Ian! Wait until you see it on the 75" in 4K!

Your welcome :)

Thanks my friend!

Thanks You! :)

Thank you! :)

Hi Ray. The one I use is a GSO RC8 telescope with an adaptor for the 750D. Type in Google: T-ring and M42 to 1.25" Telescope Adapter Hope this helps! :)

@@DMsFunWithPhotography alright man thanks a lot but im still a newbie photografer so maybe i need too watch some tips and tricks

The location and aspect can be found by pasting the following coordinates into Google Maps -35.404377, 148.983925

The Camon 750D will work fine for the Northern Lights as you don’t need high ISO to image them. However, I now have the Canon EOS RP which is the most affordable in the Full Frame Canon Range. Couple that with a 14mm f/2.8 Samyang RF lens and you are set.

Samir Poudel for the moon use at least a sigma 70-300mm lens to do it cheaply or get a bird lens with higher magnification. But then you may need to track the moon with a motorised mount if the magnification is high. If that is the case attach the camera to a telescope with a motorised mount. I progressed through the years and got a 10” telescope and used ZWO ASI1600MC Cooled camera for most of my astro imaging. DSLR is a good start to learn about imaging that’s affordable then it’s up to the individual to step up to more serious imaging with a telescope.

@@DMsFunWithPhotography really appreciate your advise. thanks alot

Swizzelsticks the Canon 750d does quite well as a cheap DSLR solution for astrophotography. I have never had sensor issues. I have now moved on to the Canon full frame mirrorless EOS RP.

@@DMsFunWithPhotography OK thank you for the info! when did you purchase the 750d? I bought mine in 2018. as i read the problems occurred with the first models on canon then reacted and provided further series with a different sensor. I can't find anything about mine either, but I'm a newcomer in astrophotography :-)

Swizzelsticks I think I bought mine around 2016

Patch Adams cheers and thanks!

It’s on Mount Tennant behind Tharwa. Community in Banks are safe and the fire has moved in the opposite direction for now.

DM's Fun With Photography Oh thank God, I’ve been asleep last couple of hours was about to look for update, thank you!

So far all suburbs including Kambah are safe. Please refer to ESA for info: esa.act.gov.au/

Hi Jason, Thanks for your question. I did find the Canon 750D a bit noisy but certainly not too bad for the price. Processing techniques have helped to smooth the image as my processing skills developed. I have since moved on to the new EOS RP mirrorless full frame camera. The 750D I would definitely recommend for anyone beginning their adventure into wide field photography. It did serve well on the back of a telescope. One piece of software you may like (that's free) is Sequator. It has some unique ability to get rid of noise by stacking wide field space (even with the ground in view) and stacking timelapse frames (extremely useful). If you had 500 frames it will stack the 1st frame with the 5 leading frames and make a single stacked frame. Then it will do the same with the second frame and so on until you have almost all the 500 frames recreated into cleaner frames. You then use a PiPP or equivallent to make an uncompressed avi file. the following links were done with ne EOS RP: facebook.com/david.marriott.165/videos/vb.100008153520869/2475027609445666/?type=2&video_source=user_video_tab facebook.com/dmfwp/videos/432537110753029/

djldn5 thanks for reply, yes I have seen your latest images and they look awesome. I have the 750d and also Panasonic GH4 and Gh5s - find that most of the software seems to like canon better for some reason. I will check out that software, thanks for the heads up

Hi Mohamed. The mirrorless M50 is a compact camera ideal for touring and doing landscape photography. Not much is said for astrophotography. One thing to keep in mind is the useability of the product. What lenses are available? Does it have adapters for connecting to a telescope? Low noise... I have found that for usability and satisfying results, the Canon 5d MKIII performs very well for atrophotography. This may be out of price range for a lot of people. My happy medium was the Canon 750d :) I have since moved onto Astro imaging cameras like the ZWO ASI1600MC and have adapted it to be used with my Canon lenses. If you are starting out with Astrophotography then I still recommend the Canon 750d. Cheap, packed with features. Easy to use.

Nice M50 come withe lens 15-45 f(3.5-6.5) I hesitate between it and canon 750d because m50 has higher iso and 8 processor but I found all astrography in canon 750d not in m50....so your recommend helps me to be in safe side thank U

Ray's Astrophotography Thanks :)

Ray's Astrophotography thank you :)

Thanks Ray for your comment. Since then I have improved imaging, equipment and processing techniques. I plan to upload new videos soon. Cheers

Hi, There was no modification to the camera. On occasion I would use a CLS filter to reduce local street lighting in my images. I now use an astronomy cooled camera (ZWO ASI1600MC). In fact these cameras can be adapted to canon lenses!.

Awesome. Good to know. Are you a lot happier using the cooled camera? I have not bought a camera yet and I'm torn between a dslr and an astronomy style cam?

I moved on to a bigger telescope and guided imaging since then. A DSLR is a good allrounder for landscape and Astro Photography. That is a good starting point and more affordable. If you like, visit my photography page to see more up to date stuff. facebook.com/dmfwp/

BTW (By The Way) this is Nate!

You Welcome! :)

If you are interested in astrophotography please visit my Facebook page. Since owning My Canon 750D I connected it to a bigger telescope. From then i used a cooled camera to do deep space imaging

Awesome! Sure will do 😃

Willo's Australian coin, relic and gold detecting thanks :)

Aniket Pawar sorry about the music but KZbin free music is somewhat limiting. Cheers. Ps. I’ll find another piece of music that’s less tacky :) soon

sure bro.. (y)

Music changed More amnient

thanks buddy, by the where are you from ?

Australia

Gagandeep Singh I used Canon 750 D and Celestron 4SE telescope. Close ups of the moon I used an additional 2.5x Barlow lens.

Holy Moly!! That Telescope is very expensive.

Gagandeep Singh that was my beginners telescope. The one I have now is more sophisticated. Details are on my Facebook Photography page: m.facebook.com/David-Marriotts-Fun-With-Photography-1603695136607769/

Paul Fensome trying to remember what was on the scope at the time. I had a t ring adaptor for the 750d and a 5x Barlow. I used lucky imaging for the moon and planets to obtain more detail. I tend to push the limit of what a scope can do. I currently have a 10” carbon fibre f/4 Newtonian and have to use 5x powermate to get a larger image. I would gladly go back to a Celestron, say a C11 or C14 as I am fixated on imaging Jupiter and it’s moons. astrob.in/406264/0/

Paul Fensome from memory I had the camera set to NTSC 60. So the frame rate would be 60 frames per second on video mode. Then I used a program called PiPP to convert the video into a ser file and to sort the best frames first. I then moved that file into Autostakkert for stacking. The video was originally 60 seconds long. So 60 seconds times 60 frames per second is 3600 frames for Autostakkert to process. The resulting final image was put into Registax for sharpening.

Hi, Thanks for your question. I still have the 750D and use it for more for landscape photography. I also use it sometimes for wide field astrophotography. As far as video it's ok. Ideally you could get a 4k handy cam or full hd video camera that does better video in low light and has anti shake reduction.But if your main interest is Canon 750D for pictures and perhaps a bit of video it is a great economical choice. I have found it to be a trusty piece of hardware at a low price. I now use a cooled astro imaging camera for my telescope shots.. If you would like a bit more out a DSLR maybe the Canon 5D with full frame sensor would be ok. It's lower noise and a larger sensor. Most impressive astrophotography pictures ive seen has been done with a Canon 5D :)

Thanks for the advice! 5D is a kind of too expensive for me as I don't have a job. A toss up between the 750D vs 70D which is a little out of my price range.
