Thank you Mark, glad you like them

Appreciate that Mark, thank you

@@Twlight-Astrophotography first question is what scope are you using? Focus is normally the biggest issue and have you tried focusing during the day?

It’s a newer version of the Aperture 8” RC. My guide camera is a asi290mm mini.

It’s a newer version of the Aperture 8” RC. My guide camera is a asi290mm mini. I have the basic OAG no matter what I do I can’t see stars and when I do get them they are distorted and a lot of glare.

It did come out really well, thank you

Thank you

Thank you, appreciate your support

They caught us out good and proper. We live to fight another day but cloudwatcher high on the priority list

Thanks mate. damn clouds

@@astrostufftomtrubridge7915 you will love them mate. I use them all the time now, walking the dogs and just out and about when it’s a bit chilly. They work so well at keeping the cold at bay

Excellent. I am very pleased for you and glad my video helped. Clear skies.

@@geoffnash3098 hi Geoff. Main things to check are that the location settings and date and time are correct, this can cause a lot of accuracy issues. The big advantage of astrophotography is the process of platesolving always perfectly centres the target. I would have thought it should get close enough with an eyepiece though.

Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to comment. I am very pleased the video was some help for you. That’s a lovely scope you have bought and will get you some great captures. The methodology as you rightly thought is exactly the same, the corrector plate on the front is the only difference to a standard Newtonian. That will be the coma corrector meaning you will not need to add one to the image train like I do for my scopes. Best of luck and clear skies

Thanks Logan. The Sony A7S is fantastic at video in low light. I think if I had longer I could have improved on the quality of that video capture. I’ll be better prepared for the next one.

My pleasure. Really pleaded the video helped, all the best and clear skies

Very kind, thank you

Hey Siegfried, hope you are well. Thanks for watching, glad you liked it. Clear skies

Hi and thank you for your message, I unfortunately soon after doing this project dropped Adobe and moved to Davinci Resolve. I just could not justify the cost of Adobe anymore. I need to try and emulate the same effect using Davinci now. I’m sorry I cannot help you further but Shivering cactus who was the after effects wizard on this is very approachable so send him a msg. Good luck, Glenn

Thanks Woody. I’m mixed about Starlink myself. It’s a spectacle to see when in their chain on the way to orbit but not happy with the amount of satellite trails streaking through my images every night I want to image. Frighteningly this is only the start as Amazon are launching Kuiper which is to rival Starlink with another 3K+ satellites in low orbit. They are slowly littering the night sky, sad.

Thanks Kevan. I had a few attempts ruined by mist or clouds but kept going and glad I did. How is the observatory working?

@@Astrobloke Loving my observatory. More opportunities with partial clear nights where I wouldn’t have bothered to drag everything out and in again. Got one Mele Quieter 4c on the CEM120 pier with NINA but still getting up to speed with setup and advanced sequencer. Will try a test run soon. Have a TS ONTC 12” Newt being delivered very soon. So more setup. Will move onto an Arduino install after that for the roof. Getting there. Looking forward to showing you around when it is all complete.

Thanks Geoff, I am loving the new hand warmers. OLD! To some I am and to others I am not. I feel young at heart but will be 60 in 2 years, that to me feels old . Thank you for the kind comment, glad you like them. Clear skies

Will take a look mate

Thank you.

@@Astrobloke No Glenn, thank YOU !!! 🙏

Thanks so much Tom. I feel very lucky to be into this hobby in a big way and I love big projects that return images I didn't think were possible unless you had the Hubble.

Hi Tom and thank you. The MSM Nomad is a brilliant piece of kit. So simple to use to which is refreshing. The hand warmers are great . If the Sigma is an E mount I don’t think you can get anything to adapt to the A mount. Its has to do with the flange focal distance point, the adapter would need to be negative in thickness. A mount is 44.5mm and the E is only 18mm.

@@SimonsAstro thanks mate. Not a bad shot on the end, love the little Nomad, perfect for this. The Sony is better than I thought, going to be fun. The handwarmers were really good, add em to your xmas list 👍

Hi Mark. Glad you liked it. Elon is ruining the night sky, really annoys me but money wins. As for X, that can do one too. Good luck with the phantom mask. Quite faint and only the Ha shows the shape. Clear skies

@@Astrobloke Glenn, forgot to ask, what make are those hand warmers from Amazon?

They are excellent, you will be pleased with them.

@@jeremyhigginson9307 thanks Jeremy. Have you managed to see it at all?

Now there’s an idea. They actually sell a whole heated suit you wear under your motorcycle gear. Why suffer the cold hey? Focus can be a right pain, I use a field monitor on the camera now to help with that, works super well. Clear skies mate

@@arnsteindale5531 thank you Arnstein Comets and Auroras, its been an eventful year. Clear skies mate

We have had quite a year to, 2x Aurora events. Looking forward to the next challenge. Thanks for watching, clear skies

@@Drone-bloke thank you

So nice of you

Many thanks!

No worries I am glad you could see my version

Glad you like them!

Thank you so much

Thanks for the visit

Really appreciate that, thanks for watching

Thank you Tony. I was very pleased with the longer time lapse, came out really nice

Thank you very much
