been there, done that ... I can perfectly understand your pain ... On the positive side, now I know immediately what the problem is when I see those crazy starts ;)

I did shut off the VR on my Nikon lenses using a DSLR. Now I am using a mirrorless Z8 and it has built in image stabilization, I keep it on and never have any problem. It will drain the battery quicker.

Atlas was the first naked eye comet I've ever seen. I think the comet was very disappointing to those who waited for it to climb higher in the sky. I saw it on 10/15 out at a dark sky location (spiral Jetty Utah) and I thought it was amazing. I took the whole family out to see it and everyone had a good time and thought it was impressive to see. I think the hype was good, but they needed to be more honest when it started to become less visible.

I completely agree with your point of this comet which is disappointing compared to the hype sir

Great video :) I'm writing this comment by the end of October and still nothing. I try to observe and document the T CrB at clear sky for about 2 months nothing. Hope to see it before it goes too low and disappears from my night sky here in Quebec, Canada. ;)

Glad you’ve managed to see it in the States. I’ve been going out for the past 11 nights here in the UK and haven’t seen it once, not once, due to cloud cover! I’ve now given up! Complete waste of time!

What lens and focal length did you use?

Thank you it’s been great viewing here in New England, definitely will try to get Sunday. I have some good captures with a bit of light pollution so with real dark sky’s should be a bonus. Have a great day thanks for sharing this.

Nice pics! Looking good for tonight! Down under. If the clouds stay away!

Beautiful shot!

Thanks for this. It is worth noting that Brisbane doesn't have daylight saving whereas most of the rest of the country does. That puts Brisbane an hour behind places like Sydney and Melbourne.

Thanks for making this video for Rachel because of the information you provided. I decided to purchase the Skyguider pro mount with the iPolar After reviewing numerous videos, reading countless reviews, your video gave me confidence to purchase a skyguider pro. I’ve watched many of your videos. Your presentation and information make it easy for a beginner to understand what you're explaining. Thanks for the great videos and keep them coming!

Wonderful video, thank you for sharing. I'm just in the infant state of getting involved with astrophotography. I'm still trying to decide on what mount to purchase. I’ll be using a Nikon z9 with a 17 to 28 f/2.8 and my 180 to 600 f/6.3 lenses with the mount I choose. The mounts I’m currently considering are iOptron SkyGuider Pro and the Sky watcher star GTi or wait an save for the EQM-35. With the iOptron SkyGuider do I need to purchase the ipolar or can I purchase a Autoguide setup. Also read there’s issues with the wedge on the. Sky Guider.

Great information. Loved that you turned the Astro Venture logo the right way up ✌🏻🇦🇺

Never even considered this :( thankyou

Make a wish right now(wish right now)

Many DSLRs, certainly the Canons I've used and owned, have a small rubber piece about the size of a postage stamp attached to the neck loop. This can be slid into grooves on the viewfinder while taking your lights and calibration frames to block out light from the viewfinder and prevent this light bleed.

It absolutely can leak thru the viewfinder. Took one time with all of my darks ruined for me to keep tape close by.

Been having fun imaging comet atlas down under...22nd, 24th, 1st and 2nd..used my 200mm lens, nifty 50 and a 14mm. 50mm frames it well on my fujifilm x-t2!. 👍🏻

Starguider Pro / Asiair mini user here, most of the issues felt very familiar. ;-)

I really wish I could get out there and image. I'm the middle of a 2 and a half week stretch of clouds. I won't have a break until Thursday and Friday. It'll be first quarter moon by then.☹

Planning to see comet from this weekend lets o Hope for the best sir thank for information

Thanks again for your videos

I"m in Washington State. I think I might try the comet on Monday morning.

I have no choice. I will try on the 12 or13 October with binox. I am in North NSW.

Good video! Dumb question: when doing the polar alignment, is the star tracker on or off? Ie: is the RA motor running?

Please go clear your throat

My best dates: Sept 29/30 & Oct 1st -- after that, it's competing w/the sunrise -- Then October 20th until the end of the month (probably will try more during this period, IF the comet proves to be worth it). I'm at the equator (on an island), so hopefully that helps me w/ viewing.

nc video

Nobody believes in the bible and god no more wow

just so you know, Tsuchinshan is pronounced soo-chin-shan

What time will i see it from India?

Shot for the excellent info bro! I'm in New Zealand, everything crossed for good weather! Loads of luck to all trying to view.

We've had our share of smoke from California here in Nevada. If it's not that then clouds. Glad to see you back.....

No problem George. I understand completely. Just glad you were able to push out this video.👍🏾👍🏾

Ty for another video. No excuses required :)

Why didn't your flats get rid of the dust spots?

Thanks George. Lots of partial videos on the tube, but few go end to end

Thank you so much for the video! I live in Brazil, just saw the your response to my comment in the last video asking about my location. It will be my first time trying to image a comet and wasnt sure if most content about best time and dates I was finding would be applicable here.

Thankyou from Brisbane

pls answer will it be brighter in the east or wait for a bit longer when visible in the west after goes around the sun?

( thank you )
