Deep Sky Astrophotography Target Guide for the Northern Hemisphere FEBRUARY

[@joeguetzloff4465]

Great catalog of targets! Pictures, best months, size in arc minutes, time of night with RA and declination charted out? This is almost like cheating. :-D Thanks Martin!

Hi Martin, it was good talking to you and your wife the other day on the Tube back from the Astrofest. Looking forwards to seeing how you get on with the Redcat. See you at Harwell soon I hope. Cheers. Steve

Great video! Enjoying your content so far. I can definitely see this channel going somewhere. I would recommend getting a new microphone, the audio quality isn't quite there. Keep it up!

[@martinsastrophotography]

Thank you Miguel. I have changed microphones three times now, but I always seem to have someone telling me to change it again! :-)

[@ridearocket]

@@martinsastrophotography Haha maybe next time! Its one of those things you cant cheap out on. What you have now is fine, just for possible channel investments in the future. Keep it up!

[@martinsastrophotography]

@@ridearocket Thanks. Actually the camera I use for the video and audio for all my videos now is a professional DSLR and it has a superb microphone. I think it’s the acoustics of my study rather than the microphone that makes the sound rather poor.

Very nice and great to learn some new targets. One suggestion, for someone new like me, it would be nice to now witch focal length needed to be able to capture them. For now I have a Samyang 135mm F2 lens. Orion and Andromeda I’ve done so far.

[@martinsastrophotography]

Please watch the user guide video. Focal length is not enough as the sensor size also factors in, plus any reducer used. That is why I provide the object apparent size at top left. The user guide videos tells you how to calculate your field of view. Then you can compare that to the apparent size and you have the information you are after! Clear skies.

@@martinsastrophotography thx I will have a look at that video

[@au66621]

Can you do this for the Southern hemisphere as well for Australia please

[@martinsastrophotography]

Hi there. I am so sorry, but I have very few viewers down under and this series has taken about 50 hours to put together…. It’s just not worth it for me. I am working on making my planner application available for purchase though, and if I do this it is better than the videos as you can include a custom horizon and use your personal lat/long… If and when I release it I will post a video about it. Clear skies!
