Capturing First DSO with Dwarf 2

[@nekite1]

I've had a Dwarf2 for a few months now and have got to grips with Siril for more processing options, then run the final image through Gimp for the finishing touches. The Dwarf is a great little scope that is easy to use.

I've been playing around with processing some data in Siril using a script. Planning on doing a video to show how in the near future. For now I've been trying for focus on extreme basics for those who might be brand new to the hobby.

@@thedigitalastronomer6442 I understand that you are targeting newcomers to the hobby, and I appreciate that. The more the merrier!

Great demo thanks greeting from UAE can i just go AF instead of MF? as mf process confuses me by shifting between the two lenses

[@moodyquo]

So easy to use love it 😊

[@thedigitalastronomer6442]

That's why I think this is a great first scope. So often the learning curve has discouraged people and caused them to quit the hobby.

Its a good tutorial. Thanks so much for the effort that you put in to create it. I appreciate it. :) Anyway, I've ordered the Dwarf 2 last month, but seems that it will take some time to arrive.

[@thedigitalastronomer6442]

Thanks. Hope you enjoy it when it arrives.

Excellent tutorial. Very well done. I have a Dwarf2, however haven't used it yet and I just got a Seestar S50 today. So looking forward to using both of them. Thanks for the video.

[@thedigitalastronomer6442]

I haven't had a chance to use the Seestar but everything I've seen about it looks good.

[@starsandnightvision]

Nice video sir.

[@thedigitalastronomer6442]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed

[@mallermedia]

Thank you!

[@thedigitalastronomer6442]

You bet!

[@brent6518]

Can you tell me what tripod you are using or what tripod you recommend... Love your videos!

[@gloomiehoodie]

Great video, thank you!

[@retirednavychief6983]

You provide really good instruction. But...my version of DwarfLabs appears to be completely different than yours. I can't find any way to access any library of stellar coordinates. Are you using iphone?

[@lcjr2002]

Great video. Does the orientation matter? I noticed the original image shows another bright object at the top and the completed version shows it at the bottom.

[@thedigitalastronomer6442]

Orientation is not that important. Changes over course of the night and I generally flip and rotate to suit my tastes.

I've just bought the dwarf 2 and planning my first attempt at the m31 with your settings 😊 My question is i saw you do the darks then the m31, does the darks automatically stack at the end of the shooting process or do you need to add them in when processing? Many thanks for your help on all your videos also 😊

[@thedigitalastronomer6442]

They will subtracted automatically

Thank you for the tutorial. From the looks of your bookshelf, you have an interest in theology. The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of his hands...

If you keep messing up, I change the channel
