Can you share any tips on how to observe deep space objects?

[@TheAstroChannel99]

thank you so much :)

@@Starlii_ Observing with the eye is always going to be different to looking through a photo camera. Depending on what you want, the bigger the aperture of the scope, the more light you can receive, and the more details you can see. Large scopes 8" and up you should be able to see a lot of DSO with the naked eye, but anything under you probably would need cameras to really see things, unless its something super bright like Orion. Binoculars are also a cheap starting point for viewing very bright objects like the Pleiades, brighter nebula and clusters. :)

@@TheAstroChannel99 thank you for the advice, i’ve been new at observing and trying to capture a image of the planet Jupiter and saturn.I will try my best and practice about this, wish me luck :)

[@waynegarrett1614]

what magnification eye piece were you using for that picture of Saturn?

[@TheAstroChannel99]

NO eyepiece, just the DSLR body with a T-ring adapter.

[@jyruspanotes6961]

Hi I'm new to Astrophotography do you have auto alignment to stars nebula? And how you capture it good like you don't have to do anything just to setup your camera?

[@NothingSussed]

What eye piece are you using ?

[@TheAstroChannel99]

There are no eyepieces used in this video, purely my scope, the Canon 5Ds and an adapter for the camera to the scope. :)

Hi,Love from india Kolkata I recently bought a Celestron 130eq is it possible to do deep sky photography like this or your previous videos plzz help..I already got a T-Ring 2x Barlow and a nikon dslr

[@TheAstroChannel99]

It is definitely possible! You just need a half decent camera, and a mount that tracks for deep sky, otherwise you can still get good planetary photos without a tracker.

[@rageofyouth569]

@@TheAstroChannel99 Yeah I got a Nikon D5200 and also u meant that a goto mount is needed for DOS,s right...

[@TheAstroChannel99]

@@rageofyouth569 For 95% of Deep Sky objects, a tracking mount (GOTO) will be almost always be necessary.

Where are you from, and is there a rocket launcher nearby?

[@TheAstroChannel99]

Australia, and no we don't really have rockets.
