[@MrGp3po]

Great video. I am always impressed with the enthusiasm and dedication of astronomers in the UK. Fighting light pollution and weather, you do an amazing job. Thanks

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

Hey thanks for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the wonderful feedback.

[@ianmacdonald2307]

A simply stunning result. I’ve nothing like your equipment but imaged M101 last September from my home in Scarborough. It was my first ever target with my Skywatcher 72ED on the star adventurer . The result - very similar to your 2019 image! Thanks for sharing your setup and the results you achieve 👍

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

Hey Ian, thanks for the comments, I do appreciate it, and from a fellow Yorkshire man

[@billchilds4261]

A great video and excellent results!! Keep up the good work. I enjoy all of your videos.

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

Thank you very much! I do appreciate that Bill

[@KevinMurphy0403]

I have been tinkering with astrophotography on and off for a few years and this video has really inspired me. Quality content and superb imaging. Keep up the great work.

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

Hello, thank you for the kind comments, it does really mean a lot. Stick with it, some nights can be frustrating, but they are soon forgotten when you have the good nights.

[@Astrobloke]

Very nice image. Its great to see the comparisons from before and shows great progression in kit improvements and abilities as an astrophotographer. Well done.

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

Thanks Astrobloke, I do appreciate you taking time to watch and feedback

[@OlliesSpace]

Great looking result can really see the difference between the two years. Love the outtakes sometimes in front of camera it's funny what our brains do. 👍

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

Hey Ollie, thanks for watching and taking time to comment. Think my next video's might be inside off camera. :-)

[@CosmuzzAstro]

Nice set up, very tidy. Great video! The outtakes give me a tickle. I always seem to get a loud car go past when I'm filming so I know that feeling.

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video

[@IcedReaver]

Brilliant end result, you must be chuffed with that! Whilst watching the first outtake I immediately thought "aaaand demonitised" haha.

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

Hey IcedReaver.. Glad you enjoyed the video.. Yes Its probably one of the best galaxy results i've had. Thanks for watching

[@SimonsAstro]

That’s one of the tidiest rigs I’ve seen! Great idea with the handle, you should patent that!! Love your setup! Cable management at its best, those LynxAstro cables are good! Fantastic end result, funny outtakes 😀

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

Thanks for the comments and watching the video Simon. It did take me a while to get the cables like that and to be honest theres room from some more improvements. Glad you liked the video

[@savtheastroguy]

The progress between ur old pic and new one is outstanding, good job!

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

Thanks for the comment, i do appreciate it

[@JoesAstrophoto]

Great video and capture Hogarth! That's a spectacular M101, I find that target hard to process compared to other galaxies for some reason.

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

Hey thanks Joe, appreciate the comments..

[@tamrich7762]

Excellent setup, love your DIY handle and your cable management, I need to fix my cables. I got the ZWOAir pro plus in November to help with my cable management, unfortunately the weather here in York has been unkind. Beautiful M101 ,love the outtakes at the end. Looking forward to seeing your next video.👍

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

Hey thanks for the comments, I do really appreciate it. I’m also in York too. Spooky

[@tamrich7762]

I’m only a few miles from Monkscross here in York.

[@lukomatico]

Wow mate! what a great video, I enjoyed it start to finish, and the outtakes at the end were hilarious :D - what a wonderful m101 at the end! cracking job mate, keep em coming!

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

Thanks Luke, really glad you enjoyed it and thank you for carrying me through that first night.. I really do appreciate your comments and feedback..

[@janb.7698]

Great Video thx greetings from Germany

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

Thanks for watching!

[@crm114.]

Excellent kit overview and of course final image superb. I’ve just got an Esprit 100 myself but yet to get to use it anger. I really like the handle idea. There are clear skies tonight but a near full moon. I might try some globular clusters as a first go.

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

Thanks Cliff, you'll love the Esprit 100 its a great a scope. Glad the handle idea might help you. Appreciate you taking time to comment

[@ACEOFSPACE2000]

Nice final image

[@dumpydalekobservatory]

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

Thanks Dez for the comments, I do appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it

[@darshanamalekar8260]

Nice image of galaxy ❤️❤️

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

thanks for the feedback.. glad you like the image

[@DSOImager]

Great results! Really nice job processing. SGP will let you sleep at night :) I've got mine setup to hit multiple targets in a single night. The recovery mode is also very nice.

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

That’s for the comments, I do appreciate your time to watch and feedback. ah the recovery mode, you learn the hard way sometimes. First time PHD2 lost a guide star, imaging stopped.. then I discovered recovery mode 🤦‍♂️👍

[@astrojourneyuk]

Great image, video but especially the outtakes. :)

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

Hey, thanks for watching, really appreciate it.. Glad you enjoyed it and the outtakes.

[@evacousticmusic]

Great video and amazing photo!

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

Hey EV Cover band, I do appreciate you taking time to comment and its fantastic, you enjoyed the video.. Thank you.

[@jrags35]

Loved the out takes, and really like the idea of adding the HA data. do you use pixnsight for this or photoshop ?

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

Hi thanks for the comments, appreciate it.. I use Pixinsight only..

[@siegfriednoet]

Nice video, great image and love the outtakes at the end. One question though, if you always remove the guidescope, is it still aligned with the Esprit ?

[@HogarthsAstrophotography]

I did a lot of research into this and the general consensus was that was long as the guide scope is pointing in the same area as the main scope, the results are fine. You’ll notice I have clam shells on the scope as well, which grips the scope far better than traditional guidescope rings The scope is with 1-2mm of its place each night at a guess.

[@siegfriednoet]

@@HogarthsAstrophotography Thank you, didn't know this 👍

[@stephan9427]

Nice picture from google
