Budget Astrophotography - My first Year in Images

[@omelletedelastreet9969]

wow i was really amazed by the last moon pic good job

[@Cheapass-tro]

Thanks. Just between you and me (and anyone reading this), I missed 2 bits of the moon with my captures and had to cheat with GIMP. The missing bits can be seen on my channel's community tab.

Great tunes and and great images, keep up the great work you do, Merry Christmas and happy new year with clear skies.

[@Cheapass-tro]

Thanks very much and the same to you!

Nice to see the journey. Love the detail in that moon shot.

[@Cheapass-tro]

Thanks. That made me a nice desktop background. 😁

[@Tony-Elliott]

Wow Nugsy brilliant progress mate, that new planetary camera has made such a difference

[@Cheapass-tro]

Thanks. Picked it up for only £55 new.

[@cosmojames7710]

That last moon shot is epic! Thanks for sharing

[@Cheapass-tro]

Cheers matey!

[@philipedwards8963]

Brilliant, great to see your progress!! Some fantastic stuff there, I'm sure year two will bring impressive things. Oh, and thanks for the full intro track, really enjoyed their stuff :) Now if I could get some clear skies............. ;)

[@Cheapass-tro]

Thank you, and yes. It's about time we all got some clear skies!

[@derrymurphy3944]

Excellent pix mate good to see you enjoying things.

[@Cheapass-tro]

Thanks Derry. Clear skies bud.

[@alexsoma3720]

Great job! Love your work especially DSOs, my favourite. Keep it up

[@Cheapass-tro]

Thanks. As long as the clouds allow I will keep it up.

[@KevinRudd-w8s]

Some good first attempt images. The main thing is your images are improving and you're enjoying the experience mate.

[@Cheapass-tro]

Quite right. Many quit when their first few images don't turn out like Hubble's.

Hi, Looking to follow in your footsteps, thank you for posting this. We are really trying to work with what we've got and build a budget go-to astro rig with my 12-year old son. 3d printing/building a EQ mount and wanting to add in the onstep controller and motors. We have a couple of DSLR's and a beginner Meade telescope.

[@Cheapass-tro]

Then I wish you all the best and if you need any help, ask away.

[@michaelklemm-abraham7298]

Great progress. One thing about the video: at 3:08 you show a wide field picture with two galaxies clearly visible and you write: The Leo Triplet. Are you sure about this? It rather looks like M81 and M82 to me. Clear skies.

[@Cheapass-tro]

Damn! You're quite right. The Garland galaxy is the third - I just saw three and labelled it so. My bad.

[@michaelklemm-abraham7298]

@@Cheapass-tro Don't worry. This can happen to all of us. Thank you for checking.

[@chikrumba]

Great results.

[@Cheapass-tro]

Thanks!

[@actudoran]

good job buddy! keep it up 💪

[@Cheapass-tro]

Thankyou, will do.

[@azimuth2142]

I love all this. I look up and wonder what is out there, who is out there. I want to get a goto mount but with me being tight I won't find anything cheap enough.

[@Cheapass-tro]

They do come up, even for the likes of you and I but you've gotta be on the lookout for bargains 24/7/365 as they get snapped up quickly.

[@HyperX07]

Nice images

[@Cheapass-tro]

Cheers HyperX, hope all is well.
