Why I DON'T SLEEP anymore

[@PUCOPZ]

Coolest license plate on the block!

[@Synystr7]

Nice touch with the Mass effect galaxy map music. My man. That song hit me so hard in the nostalgia gland, I set it to download in steam.

[@rewanth19]

May I know the name of the song?

[@ButtChugDoug66]

Oh and I think you spelled spaghetti wrong

[@heavensauthority1736]

What is the song

[@AstroChoob]

The song at the 3 minute mark is Mass Effect 3: Mars. The galaxy map music in Mass Effect is Uncharted Worlds, which doesn't feature in this video.

[@Johnson-Young]

Greetings from China. From an astronomy lover from China. Admire your equipment so much.Good Job! Keep on and do more contributions for human beings!🙃🙂

[@joylaine3193]

You are a Starseed.. That is why you are fascinated with the stars.. I bet you wish you could go out there pretty bad.... Love your videos...

[@davidaylsworth8964]

Sleep is for the weak. There’ll be lots of time to sleep when you’re gone. Love the videos Trevor! I’m learning so much from them.

[@garycrumrine9538]

Just re-watched your trip to the Cherry Springs star party to photograph the Milky way. Seeing the final picture sure brought back memories from a much younger kid looking into the sky and actually viewing the Milky Way with my eyes. No scope, no binoculars, just my eyes. Of course there isn't the detail you get with your photos, but WOW what a rush. I am thankful for the work you are doing and your decision to share, and continue after you lost your father. You truly are gifted. Be well and keep doing what you do.

[@LikeOnATree]

Trevor your music choices and deep sky photos are absolutely compelling! I still re-watch your Cherry Springs Star Party 2017 video and get immersed in the end photo and music by Dynatron! It's on my jogging playlist and I think of the photo and deep space as I'm running. Super inspirational!! Great work, thanks so much for your efforts to help us take in the night sky! I will eventually get some photos taken. Cheers!

[@anthonyoch8285]

That Mass Effect soundtrack. Love it! Have you thought of adding a motorized focuser attachment?

[@cassiopeg3205]

Hi, I'm from Brazil and I'm following you for a year, from the trip to the camp to test the optical willian telescope. Congratulations on the channel, it has inspired me a lot to maintain this passion for the vastness that is the universe. Strong hug.

[@supernova5712]

When you think about the grand scheme of things what's one night of lost sleep for an amazing picture you're gonna have for the rest of your life. Best sentence ever ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@haxefede]

This intro Trevor, you nailed it!

[@joelmspencer]

I've just bought my HEQ5 Pro Rowan Belt Modded mount, cannot wait to try it, just waiting for the tripod legs to arrive. I've been into Astrophotography since February this year with a Star Adventurer mount. Took me 34 years but I've found my hobby. Absolutely love astrophotography. Great channel Trevor, watched all the videos, very well put together and inspirational too!

[@kostasastro]

I have the rowan belt mod for my heq5 pro (once the second iteration of the mod came out) and i can assure you that it is a whole new mount, silent and very accurate goto. I can have under 1'' of guiding and the images i have are beautiful. BUT in order to get beautiful images you need to have a sturdier tripod, i have a berlebach tripod, a very good polar alignment and to remove the cone error from your scope, finally you need to have proper mesh of the mount's gears, i sent a couple of months (due to cloudy weather) fixing the mesh of the gears but once i fixed it the guiding was superb.

[@joelmspencer]

@@kostasastro thanks for the advice. The tripod arrived yesterday. Got a good deal on it for £60 excellent condition. The HEQ5 Pro tripod.

[@LAshotts]

Joel Spencer cool just don’t do what other people do... overloading by whacking something like a 250 or I’ve even seen 300 newts on them. Clear skies.

[@RaysAstrophotography]

Very Nice Trevor. Well worth it. Picture looks good too. Great work!!

[@johnn1474]

Trevor’s sleepless nights brought to you through Astrophotography and helped along by copious amounts of Timmos.

[@kostasastro]

i'll have to agree with some people suggesting making a permanent setup and automate things it will save you lots of time and capture more data and targets plus you will get some quality zzz's. I don't have the option of making a permanent setup but i am in the process of automating my gear. I use Indi/Ekos (and i also have used Sequence Generator Pro) for my RC 8'', Heq5Pro and i have to say that with the help of its late solver and polar alignment i have really good subs, the only thing missing, but it's on its way, is an autofocuser (and maybe in the future a rotator). At my last imaging run everything went smoothly and i could just relax and enjoy the night sky.

[@Ambassador_Kobi]

Hey there... another indi/Ekos user!

[@RobB_VK6ES]

remote control done right not some crude remote desktop hack.

[@alanmason2864]

Indi/Ekos lets me get sleep...Gotta love plate solving, autofocusing, and auto meridian flips all in cheap package (free if compiling it) The scheduler is a life saver!

[@straightasl]

You are awesome. You never cease to inspire me. I ask a question, what kind of specs your laptop is? I will plan to buy other laptop for ccd camera, Astro tool sw, etc. if you recommend me for the specs, I ll appreciate your comment. Thanks!

[@galacticus9845]

Great Trevor, this is perfect for helping me understand the benefits of an Esprit set up for the 150 I'm thinking of getting.

[@Kedaoka]

Are you going to do any livestreams in the future? Maybe when youre up at nights like these so you can talk with your viewers?

[@rickylovenuts7466]

Congrats man! Good job

[@mathieubertholet5682]

I Really love the way you're sharing our passion. You've made such a giant step since your first videos. Keep this feeling. Wish you clear skies from Reunion Island.

[@FluffH1]

Great image. You got me interested in astrophotography and astronomy this year and I am working with just an old DSLR and short zoom lens. It's what I've got and, with two daughters at university, all I am likely to be able to buy for a while. I'll be joining our local astronomy society this week so I should get to play with other kit too. Anyway - thank you for the inspiration and thank you from my 12 yo daughter who is also getting in to it with me.

[@fantomfoto]

Loved the stranger things style music in the intro. Great vid as always!

[@peterleveillee1321]

Great video. Subscribed. I also have an Esprit 100 and its corresponding EQ6R mount coming tomorrow. I am going to be starting astrophotography. Your channel will help out a lot.

[@BlueNeptune84]

Great work! & I like that Mass Effect music!

[@rjSampaio]

I have never notice you had a website, im realy gonna read every single one of the articles, this is perfect for my commute, learn on the morning and pratice at nigth.

[@mtnphot]

The flattener connection is the same on the esprit as it is on the ed 80. I purchased the nikon lens adapter for the asi series cameras (1600mc cool pro is the same chip size). There is a 48mm filter holder built in to the adapter so it doesn't screw up the spacing between the adapter and flattener. I connect it with a 48mm T adapter on the flattener. The adapter fits the t adapter snugly so there is no play. I find it useful as it makes it really easy to disconnect the camera from the scope if required.

[@coltenquackenbush23]

I'm so glad you got clear sky's, here in Arizona during monsoon season it is ALWAYS cloudy. Best of luck!

[@NikonJax]

Totally worth it! Love the plate:)

[@makers_lab]

Another great video. Been up til 4am here in the uk the last couple of nights as it’s been wonderfully clear. Your image result was totally worth it.

[@Adevill20]

Excellent video as always ! From someone who doesn't have a telescope setup yet, I really get to experience it through your videos. Keep it up.

[@derekrobson8855]

Great video. You should get one of you trying to stop yourself nodding off at the PC at 4am ;)

[@farrjarr]

Excellent vid Trevor. Love to see the set up and results. A clear sky tonight in central Europe. Many thanks. Clear skies. 👍

[@eclipse369.]

Do you have any raw footage of planets? If so i am unable to find them!

[@jfmaniac5118]

as always, a nice treat! thank you Trevor!

[@ClimbToSummit]

Why did you set the back focus to 55mm (I suppose it is the ZWO recommandation) instead of 63mm (SkyWatcher Esprit 100 recommandation) ?

[@browaruspierogus2182]

Photographing dots....very addicting

[@markstanford2315]

Great job Trevor, it was worth it!

[@kylekrinninger8548]

Your videos just keep getting better and better!

[@maxinelakins]

Great Video

[@carloshs1818]

Hey trevor! Excelent video, as always. One question, why do you have to be up to do a meridian flip? Can't it be done automaticly?

[@thomasgonzalez7965]

Hi trevor, amazing video, i want to ask out of curiosity how much time do you spend finalizing the photo from your computer. I assume there are lots of hours on top of the many hours capturing the light outside. Hope you get to see my message. Cheers. Loving your channel, very inspiring.

[@rtpman1953]

Great video Trevor. I also use the SW Esprit 100mm APO and by coincidence, mine is on an Ioptron CEM-60 EC. I wish I had the portable pier but it wasn't available yet when I bought mine. The focuser is nice but thinking of replacing it with a motorized Moonlight focuser that I can autofocus in SGP. Every time I image I have to load things in the SUV drive to a location, setup image, etc. My setup time is an hour and a half. Something to reduce another task and reduce possible errors with temperature change in focus.

[@graysmith4732]

I'm in absolute awe at the images you capture.

[@b0v1n3]

Hey could I ask where you acquired that lovely start chart you have hanging in your shed/den/astrocave?

[@tombutts919]

Nice image Trevor!

[@jeetsharma6326]

What book do you use for reference?

[@cowboygeologist7772]

Just amazing. Just found your channel, watched 2 videos and subscribed. Thanks for posting.

[@TurnFullCircle]

Awesome vid...... Cheers Chris

[@caroliensche13]

Hey Trevor, i like and share your enthusiasm, and i wish you a pleasant autumn!

[@InfraredSpace]

Wow all are Interested on this that intro Music Heaven and Hell author is Jeremy Blake Background Music LOL I also Posted a Video about Hurricane Florence along with this same Music XD , Great selection of Music By the way I Think we should make Astrophotography and Amateur Astronomy as the Job in Future Because We have so much threats in Space but there are only 2 Million Professional Astronomers in the Earth so they can't manage vast and past part of Space , You know that There are Amateur Musicians , Amateur Soccer players and Amateur Racers are one day becoming Professionals? So How they Earn Money? By their Racing, Playing, Music Skills , So How can't we Make this Astronomy Skills to Earn Money?

[@ati3x]

I put out my scope too.. Today was 24 celsius here in sweeden. Now the sky is verz clear, it seems until 1.. And i get last chance for my EQ5.. I have modded, hypertuned, changed out all bearings, but the guiding still hm... Not perfect...

[@tomcwik4898]

You are an artist.

[@joep1551]

Great image Trevor! So in the end, it was worth it!

[@lxke.v3457]

I have a feeling your excited for October 17th

[@ateebzzz]

Great work. Absolutely loving it. I have a request. Plz shoot Pleiades open cluster.

[@connarcomstock161]

Hey, last time we saw your wheels, it was a Corolla, now you've got an SUV thing, grats on the new whip man!

[@makahaj341]

Trevor, what size bahtinov mask do you use for the Esprit 100? I have the telescope on order but haven't been able to find the diameter of the dew shield. I enjoy your videos, thanks very much.

[@monicark6771]

I don't sleep as well, but I see OVNIs, love to watch the skies.

[@sambarber9294]

You really should try out a plate solving program, it makes everything much easier and saves time.

[@jimmcdonald9244]

Trevor, newbie question if that's okay...why are your shots of deep sky objects invariably reddish? They are great shots but they are always magenta, or pinkish, or whatever, something out of the R sector of the RGB spectrum

[@alanmason2864]

Go get some sleep Trevor, slap a moonlight focuser with high res stepper on your fav OTA, and get Stellarmate out there. Polar align, schedule your targets, and get some sleep! :)

[@stephensteward2087]

wow im just starting and wish I could produce pictures like this , my setup(skywatcher 127 cas, sony nx1000, wifi dongle) any tips would be great

[@gabewrsewell]

hahaha that's the exact same justification I use to stay up all night taking photos :)

[@Max6785]

Beautiful shot! Any reason you haven't switched over to plate solving in APT? It's super easy to set up with the gear you're using and would likely speed up your setup time, and flip time! I was floored by how accurate, and how cool it is the first time I got it going.

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

Hi Trevor, was the back focus correct on this video? I thought the ED100 should be 63mm not 55mm? As per the Skywatcher recommendations

[@fcjr1362]

As always, great work, Trevor...I have enjoyed each and every video. I too have a Canon 5D Mark II, modified by Hap Griffin...what full frame, drop in filter do you use on that camera?

[@raehauck4737]

Thank you! Beautiful, and well worth a sleepless night.

[@Micke240]

I would like too see you try out to make an Hubble palette (sho) sometime. Pacman nebula or elephant trunk nebula would be cool if you could pull it of :)

[@WhiteWulfe]

I have to disagree with all the various people that are suggesting just having a remote rig, and/or mostly/fully automated setup... Sure, it can be handy when it comes to things like getting more subs, but... It kind of removes most of the hands on aspects of things that you clearly enjoy. On top of that, it then kind of goes from "a hobby I enjoy having a beer with" to more of a case of spending a good portion more cash to have something sitting in the back yard that does all the work for you, and removes all that fun... that challenge... that thrill when one accomplishes a task that was difficult, or giving you problems...

[@gavinlynch1048]

I love your videos Trevor. Started AP about 5 months ago and your videos have been a huge help for me. I use similar gear to you (esprit 100, CGX and an ASI071mc). Was just wondering when you said 30 degrees did you mean Celsius? I thought it was much colder in Canada. Also I just set up plate solving in SGP and I was hoping it would take care of the flip for me. Do I need more gear to automate that?

[@michalcaganek8287]

Absolutely awesome 👍👍👍

[@gengotaku]

Man, thanks for the inspiring videos!!!If you think 35ºC is hot you would die in my native town Rio de Janeiro, where we have 30ºC in winter!!! Keep up the good job with the videos!! Greetings from Japan!!

[@ppi57]

Does the field corrector add 15+/-mm to the focal length of the scope?... great work, keep'em coming.

[@wa1zlv]

You do great work Trevor. Hope you also spend a lot of time with the wife!!

[@Tweaky-yp4bd]

Could you photograph the eskimo nebula or ngc 2392

[@sheilahorton6396]

Would love to see your photos in a book. Would be great . Or is that already done?

[@7wt]

Stunning

[@Steve_The_Ignorant_Astronomer]

Question , When you are in the house or garage do you use 2 computers , one at the scope and one in the house ? Also I got the ASI294 mc pro also but the weather has been so bad here in New Jersey have not really used except on planets. Have a lot of learning to do so overwhelming . Thanks and love the channel

[@erikmardiste]

Question why not use a Eqmod cable direct from scope to laptop?

[@triangulumpubg6295]

The coolest license plater I ever saw

[@alpinewonders]

at the other extreme I read the other day that Roger Federer sleeps 12 hours a day. Now I`m torn Trevor

[@dylanslater83]

Question is a bit of topic for the video, when you were using a DSLR what kind did you use ? I'm thinking it's better to go with something cheaper if I have to astromod it or is something more top of the line more worth it?

[@revadan]

Been starting to this hobby from expensive ham radio.. am afraid doing sleepless nights.. our liver needs rest..

[@derekderek2570]

Would love to have a poster of "If you're going to lose sleep over something... it better be worth it"

[@espritastrophotography9925]

Hey Trevor. I have the esprit 100 with a qhy 168c camera. Had a heck of a time cause i have moonlite focuser. But me and a buddy found....The baader UFC. Its a filter drawer system. Check it out. Works great

[@rodbatman237]

Mass Effect music < 3

[@LAshotts]

Awesome work man. Still looks a little noisy but great work.

[@ganymedkallisto5561]

Amazong picture. Did you know, that you could easily do Platesolving with APT?

[@kevindickinson3600]

Insane image!

[@CarlosLabastida]

I wonder what is the cover you use to keep your setup outside?

[@13_cmi]

I know that first song. It’s in the youtube library

[@wojtus9135]

what is the title of the book about nebulas?

[@murf411_4]

Do you leave your scope set up outside with a cover or do you break down and set up each night? I’m looking into building a slide roof observatory because it’s a pain breaking down and setting up my 10” Orion Astrograph each time I want to image.

[@weschilton]

I image all the time AND I get sleep. It’s called automation! I use high end software but you can use SGP Pro and automate your imaging for a lot less. You will need an autofocusing system (which you should be using anyway.) But I guess automated imaging doesn’t make for very exciting KZbin videos.

[@Sharpless2]

it doesnt and its also not even close as fun as doing everything manually is.

[@Sharpless2]

thats 100% opionion based. So... explain what kinda videos he's supposed to make then.

[@noureddinebenakrim5458]

You have to sleep trevor... great job

[@xXShadowhunter]

And i have cloudy nights for 3 weeks now.... :( Enjoy it Trevor!

[@83jbbentley]

I know it’s easy for people to say, “it’s just a picture.” They don’t understand what goes into it and what you really see and the reward. At least I know that’s how it feels with Milkway for me.

[@astrofotografiatemuco4155]

Se lo que es estar hasta muy tarde en las sesiones de fotos👍👍👍💪💪💪👋👋

[@v44n7]

Amazing video, to any astronomer up here, why is that nebula's have such an amazing luminosity?

[@DaleRoossien]

Would the Sony A7s with its insane lowlight sensor give you a cleaner outcome rather than a dslr? just curious.

[@DaleRoossien]

Thanks for the info, good to lnow
