How do you find planets in your phone with your telescope?

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

If you think $799 is too much, you should think this way that you can at least sell it half price when you are done with it so your cost will be 400. Or you can buy used ones and probably sell it when you are done with it with same price and your cost is 0

What is with you people. He didn't promote an "apples to apples" comparison. Of course the more expensive scope was going to have completely different specs and would enable a better post-processing. It's a very generalized comparison and interesting nonetheless. This isn't a gotcha moment for the astronomy nerds.

Are you saying just with that basic setup? That's actually your picture that you got, wow!!

bro did not take that

Astrobackyard you are a lucky men because i have a 60 milimiters of aperture😔

I think the real world "budget" is very different to yours

Your video was the best I found for AD8. I was still in a split mind whether to get this or a smaller Dob with a Goto. After watching your video, this is going to be my first telescope. You explain things very clearly !

When I first saw Jupiter and Saturn, I was disappointed to see such small marbles haha… the size of the solar system and the whole universe is mind blowing

It would look funny if you put it on a massive mount

I often wonder what is out there. What planets that are similar to our and what has evolved on them. It’s incomprehensible….as I sit in Los Angles traffic, the irony. Surrounded by such vastness and yet compressed here.

Interested

I was looking at one of the planets between Mars and the Moon and surrounding this planet were three groups of what appeared to be twin stars on the above to the lower left and the lower right. Can someone please check this out with a bigger telescope and verify what this is?

Damn dude that camera angle in the beginning puts me in the seat of Ana Steele from 50 shades of grey.

No equatorial mount? Any may be tracked but EVERY object will rotate as additional exposures are made. Stacking may happen, but they will be stacks of ROTATING objects. Without some digital derotation, the final image will be an arced smear.😮

A beginner would do far better with a cheaper telescope.

Magnific ❤

Really hope this thing gonna fit in my bag lol, its very hard to tell how big that thing is in some parts of the video it looks huge while at others it doesnt

10k likes on this video then astrobackyard has to make a reflecting telescope

Damn It’s Stunning ✨ You did a great Job ❤

Please tell me this is fake, cause my heart breaks, knowing there are many planets like ours that are also with hamans on them

Do you own a celestron c14 edge hd?

You didn't say why. Do you have a regular video explaining it? I'm subscribed to your channel, but I don't recall seeing one. Of course, it could be that my memory isn't all it's cracked up to be. Squirrel!

hey man i am just starting to use telescope dont have much knowledge and professional gear but i want to make a start and i watched a lot of videos about capturing videos from my mobile through my beginner telescope and then stacking them but i am still very confused i watched a lot of your video and you explain things very simply so can you please take out some time and make a video about capturing photos through beginner telescope and mobile and stacking them ik i dont expect very i high quality and detailed imaged but yk if it even does a little better then i wanna give it a try and i am sure a lot of other people would too

Omg, 😱 that's a huge apparatus . . . Very nice, dude🎉

With this camera + telescope the effective focal length is 288mm. Is there a TPO you would recommend for use with a full-frame camera, Nikon Z6ii in my case? Also to get the final image did you have to crop in? If so how much?

❤

Can an 8 inch capture Saturn well?

And, it’s almost in focus! JK. Amazing shot!!!!!!!

Thanks for the review! I have a dwarf 2 but it's wide field camera view is not light sensitive enough for what I want to use it for (special use). I wish you had shown a few images to demonstrate how well the wide view did at night. I am sure it is fine for the day as you demonstrated.

You should use a 5x Barlow

Im really lost as to what telescope to get first. Eventually I want to get into astrophotography but first I want to start with visual. Id love to see saturn and Jupiter with ease, and maybe some DSO (I know theyll be faint). Is the virtuoso gti 150 tabletop telescope a good start?

How many frames did you do?

you can't beat seeing planets with the naked eye one reason I wouldn't like the 3rd one, smart telescope.

I tried taking a photo of the Orion nebula last night. I am completely new to Astro photography and even telescopes. But here is what I have for gear. Can someone please let me know if this is good enough I have a canon eos 4000D not modified in anyway. 35 to 55 mm lens and I have a svbony sv503 80mm telescope when I took the picture you can kind of see Orion but there’s also a lot of star trails.

800 USD for an 8" telescope? Can it wash, cook or what the fuck? I bought a 200mm (8") Skywatcher here in Europe 1 week ago for 500? And that includes VAT.

Very good!

From the pictures in the thumbnail you start instant at 5 years with those smart telescopes like Dwarf 3 or Seestar S50/30

go to the villages in india they have NO light pollution

Did my first time yesterday on m42 orion, sadly with just 200mm focal lenght, cant wait till i get my 150-600 for better zoom

OMG this is too much awesome 😮😊

Frod no original vew?

This is super amazing Trevor. Loved the After version.

Paisa ho toh kya kuch nahi ho sakta

I currently have a no name 120mm refractor. Looking at the popularity of small refractors these days, would you go with a 120mm william optics or something like the redcat?

I have the Apertura AD8. Great scope but the tube wall is thin. I dimpled the tube where the finder base is attached by inadvertently applying force to the finder stalk. Now the finder rattles and wobbles badly and is therefore unusable. I have added a Telrad reflex finder, so the dob is usable. I also have a Celestron C8 in the Celestron Evolution altaz goto mount and tripod. It is far, far sturdier than the Nexstar tripod and mount shown here (I used to have one). The Evolution mount is $600 more but well worth if in reduce frustration and vibration.

Hi thanks for all your videos . I really like them . Can I ask your opinion on upgrading from a canon eos 700d to something a little better without going into crazy money ? I was looking at the canon r7 but I’m not sure if they are a good option for nightsky shoots and thunderstorm/ lightning shoots ( my other area of interest ) I also would have to buy a mount for my old lenses to fit it . Thoughts?

One question. Where did you buy the zwo seestar S50
