Colliding Galaxy Megazoom : Photographing two Beautiful Galaxies

[@mantismodels1207]

Why this guy doesnt have a million subs is beyond Me. Excellent quality videos and the photos are amazing!! I still can't wrap My head around the fact that He gets these shots from a backyard telescope...albeit an expensive one. Great job!!

[@Igrcasa-gb9hj]

I have the same concern. How is it possible just 21 thousand subscribers?!?!!?

[@tob187sr]

The thing I like about this guy he actually communicates with his audience.Great job

[@LHFX]

He is great, however astrophotography is not the most popular hobby out there...

[@JacPac]

I believe it is because he is trying too much to be too funny - comes out lame. I hate when that happens and he is a nice guy with really great content.

[@Snakeytoo]

I've been into astronomy since the mid 80's. I've never had serious quality equipment, but good enough to fall in love with Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Orion specifically. I've had a 6" Meade refractor for years and recently have gotten back into the hobby. I'm starting to dabble in the astrophotography with my Canon's and find your videos extremely informative but very entertaining too (much more than all the "dry" videos out there). Keep up the great videos and thank you for the wealth of information you put out there!!!!

[@Dead_CAT29]

how is the meade 6"? what is it capable of capturing?

[@Snakeytoo]

@@Dead_CAT29 I haven't done any capturing yet other than some moon photos. It is a decent scope for Jupiter, Mars and Saturn. I've seen banding on Jupiter as well as 4 moons, Mars polar cap, and Saturns rings from light polluted areas. I'm sure I'll get some nice pictures if I can get to dark skys. Orions nebula is beautiful thorugh the scope and I'm hoping with some nice tracking and long exposures I should be able to get some nice photos of that as well.

On a night years ago, with a sky so dark it was black as ink, I viewed m51 with a 4.5 inch Orion. That was an amazing view. The color was so vivid. The star formation areas were brilliant red and the galaxies we're cool green. Now I had a 3-10 millimeter zoom eyepiece that cost a fortune,but that scope was quite a surprisingly well instrument.
