something odd that I and a few other astrophotographers have encountered with this lens though is that sometimes the optics in it might shift and the stars will get absolutely disastrous coma, like straight up completely unusable kinda coma.. fiddling around with it a bit should fix it though, it's just something to watch out for to not waste a whole night basically :)

I made a mistake in the Sirilic section. I should have gone in to the ‘properties’ section of the Flats tab, and checked the box to subtract bias. I thought this was on by default, but it’s not. Thanks to Alan on Patreon for pointing this out.

I'd love to see you compare the latest iOptron HAE29C compared to the AM5, it's a closer competitor to the AM5, it has dual strain wave motors, Alt/AZ+EQ and has WIFI and USB without a handset. It's $2148 so more expensive than the AM5 by a little bit, but seems to have all the advantages of the HEM27 and AM5 and non of the disadvantages or either? This is a great video, but the HEM27 is kinda old news a mere year later?

Hello !!, another excellent video!!! Finally, for your experience and better performance. What brand of dual filters would you recommend and how many nanometers? The Ascar color Magic, Altair Dual band 6nm or 4nm? I live in the City of Barcelona which could be a Bortle 8/9.. my equipment: APM 130/780 F/6 - ASI2600MC DUO - AM5 Thanks for your good advice in all your excellent videos.

On the 7r2 i can shoot at iso 636 to be under 2. I also have the a6500 and that can go to iso400 and the a6000 never is close to the performance of the other two cameras. Good info to know.

Looked like fun. A few questions. I assume there's room for a filter drawer. Did you use insect repellent? Any fear of things that go bump in the night? Is it just dark skies that allow the nebulosity to come out in M45? I can't eak any out in bortle 9.
@NebulaPhotos3 күн бұрын
Yes, there’s room for a drawer. No insects this time of year at night in NH (too cold), but if it had been earlier I would have. There are bears and coyotes and stuff, but if you see one, you can yell at them and they go away. We don’t have anything aggressive out here. Correct, sky darkness makes a huge difference for results, especially reflection nebulae like the Pleiades where a filter doesn’t help since it’s broadband. You can see my challenge video with Cuiv for more on that RE: the Pleiades. He shot it from Bortle 9 and I shot it from Bortle 4. He showed with enough integration time it is possible to get a good result from the city, but definitely more work.
@mikehardy82474 сағат бұрын
I watched Cuiv's video, and enquired about filter. He said he used a UV/IR cut filter. I wonder if the GNB by IDAS (I thinnk?), would work. I'm in bortle 8-9 as well. Here in Wisconsin's northern forests, is probably similar. Irrational fears of critters can't be helped. You're lucky to live in such a perfect place. Thanks!

Holy moly that unprocessed image of Orion is crazy! What Bortle class is your sky??? I'm planning to move across (across the ocean...) next year, so I really need to be very conscious of any new equipment I purchase now, because moving it will be miserable. I might just invest in a setup like this one to make it easy in the mean time!

I guess you need to repeat that to me, so I'll remember Nebula Photos, click unlike and whenever I see your video suggested, I'll click on 'do not recommend' and in tell us why I'll say: trash, or something like this.

Oh no!, I own a bike shop and heybikes are terrible they are expensive for what you get then the company's is no help with service and warranty. Also most bike shops will refuse to work on them or charge extra (my shop is the only one in the area that will work on them but theres an extra service fee) you said something wrong in the video hub motors can not torque sense. only middrive ebikes do that. Example of how crappy they are: Heybike Mars $1100 bike comes with a 6 dollar derailleur!!! Please go to your local bike shop, $1100 gets you a hell of a bike with dealer support and service to match plus most likely a lifetime warranty.

Thanks Nico, I hope the exhibition went well! Yours is the first video I’ve seen on printing Astro photos. I only print out my Astro images for my own pleasure, and have struggled to find any helpful information on line. Your technique of using compensating layers to make the printed image look more like the screen image is particularly interesting. I use Affinity Photo to print my images, not photoshop. So it’ll be interesting to experiment to see if I can reproduce a similar technique. Thanks again, Andrew.
Nico man this is such a great video! As an east-coastie, a lot of the truly dark sky sites are not easily accessible by car. I’ve been saying for YEARS that my #1 goal is optimizing the portability of my rig in case my setup site is a mile or two hike from my car. Assateague Island is a great example - your car can only get so far down the island and you still have OC MD broadcasting city lights into the northern sky. With this rig I could bike another 4-5 miles down the beach and get to the best site. Or I could find more interesting foreground subjects for nighscscapes off the beaten path.

I spent $400 on a telescope Didn't realize I would want $1000 of lenses and filters lol, but it was a good time. I remember seeing the Andromeda galaxy for the first time. This was before you could hook up a laptop to it (I had find it all manually). Knowing how far away it was and being in the middle of some field 1 hour south of town on a brisk late fall night. I got SO weirded out. It just looked like a smudgy finger print, but dang. so cool. Best telescope night ever.

Really really cool, Nico. Ease of use and portability are what got me into this hobby two years ago and it's great to see what new advances are making it even easier to enjoy the hobby. Not sure I'll strap my rig to a bike though to take it into the countryside. But it is a neat idea. For sure it has been and will be with me for weekend outings with the car. Takes up no space at all.

Hey Nico, big fan and thanks for all your work! I have a tip for using your phone while out doing astro, if you're an iOS user, you can easily set up an accessibility shortcut (triple-click the power button) to tint your screen red! - Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Colour Filters ON - Intensity to full, Hue to full then turn OFF - Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut > Colour Filters CHECK Now you can triple-click side to toggle a red tint and save your eyes :)
