Excellent results, you sure seem to be very happy, as you should be. Congratulations. 👍 I have been doing AP for about 10 years, mostly using an ASI-1600mm Cool. I'll be purchasing a "2600" mono soon and I can't wait to see how well it works.

Blown away with the shot from a Borate 8.7 - well done !

[@GediAstro]

@@astrodad-simonb277 thank you, I really appreciate that! It’s hard sometimes but I do what I can from what I have :)

Found your video from just looking at pretty astrophotography on Reddit, and this was quite enlightening to watch for someone who knows practically nothing about astrophotography! A very nicely done video and quite the stunning results, the final result is incredible. Thank you for sharing this!

[@GediAstro]

Welcome! I’m glad you liked it and thanks for watching! It’s truly a fun hobby and to share my results here and on Reddit sometimes :) I’m still blown away by the performance of this camera, unfortunately I’ve only had clouds after this video! 😅

[@othonbenavente1876]

You remind me of myself! I love the passion. I happen to have the same camera. Nice work. Where are you located? Just curious.

[@GediAstro]

Glad to hear that! Welcome! :) I live in the worst area in the northern Europe for astrophotography - Center of Stockholm, the capital of Sweden and the largest city of the north.

Great video. Can’t wait for more.

[@GediAstro]

Thanks man! I hopefully have some great stuff coming up! :)

[@johnkulczycki3021]

Hi. Great info. I’m in a B9 sky as well in Edmonton. Quick question: How did you set up Stellarium to give you just that narrow slice of sky?

[@GediAstro]

You need to take a 360 degree panorama of your location and then check landscapes folder in Stellarium (if I remember correct) and just create a new zip landscape using one of theirs as a template!

[@RhodySeth]

Must to be tough to work there on that balcony in town. Probably limits what you can shoot? Or not - that's a pretty awesome shot you got in the end!

[@GediAstro]

Thanks man, I appreciate that! It's definitely limiting, but with planning I can optimize the photography. Also - I have a pretty portable setup, so I will take my stuff out to dark locations and chill in the car for a few hours :-)
