Skywatcher 130mm Deep Sky results! | Awesome photos with the Sony A57

[@TheAstroChannel99]

Make sure you check out my newest video! The first video I have made in 5 years. :)

[@Hoppy124d54]

Very nicely done! The movement effect of each photo was great and the music chosen, a nice fit!

[@TheAstroChannel99]

Sorry to my viewers that I haven't responded to with questions, I've only recently got back into this hobby. Still catching up!

[@NoNameNoFamily-n7x]

Very interesting. Maybe details? What shutter speed, how many sessions, in which tool were the frames stacked and processed? As far as I understand, the coma corrector was not used?

[@jimmyisgek]

Holy ... I just felt in love with astronomy

[@TheAstroChannel99]

It really is worth the love :)

[@vickyvonstein2331]

Does this telescope turn the images upside down?

[@TheAstroChannel99]

Reflectors are known to mirror/flip images due to the mirror layout.

[@chesstitan2167]

was this taken with a skywatcher heritage 130p ?

[@TheAstroChannel99]

www.firstlightoptics.com/az-goto/skywatcher-explorer-130p-synscan-az-goto.html This was the exact scope setup :)

[@toym8]

Super! You made these pictures with the simple skywatcher 130 mm and reistax? Awsome!

[@theswagman1263]

Would you say an 8" dobsonian could get decent deep sky views, just for observation rather than photography?

[@TheAstroChannel99]

Hey mate! Sorry I have taken so long to answer (Have only just got back into AP). It really depends on your Light Pollution level. I'm in a class 7 and anything more than Magnitude 5-6 is really just a fuzzy faint blur. But some star clusters are easier to see given their brighter, more concentrated details. I can see a vague blurry outline of M8 Lagoon with a widefield eyepiece, but a star cluster like 47 Tuc is much easier to look at.

[@stefblue416]

Hi, can you get longer exposures with the mount you have? Does it track accurate enough for it? And by the way, which type of eq is it? Thanks a lot.

[@decembersrain396]

Hello, I really loved this video. Just recently I got my first telescope skywatcher heritage 130p. And I was wondering what did you use for eyepiece or what type of barlow ? :)

[@TheAstroChannel99]

I use Skywatcher eyepieces and have a couple different for visual observing. I have a super FOV 35mm, 24mm,12mm and a 4mm.

[@decembersrain396]

@@TheAstroChannel99 Tysm for the reply!!

[@alessandrogomes6793]

You used the 130mm flex tube or EQ 3?

[@agustinferreyra7741]

Is a 130p EQ2?

[@TheAstroChannel99]

This is an AZ GOTO mount :)

you inspierd me to study astronomy

Thanks Jojos!

@@TheAstroChannel99 Hello, hope you're doing well. If you're still here, I found the song: Broken Confidence - Sébastien Cloutier

[@GitteRobertson]

wow amazing photos, thanks for sharing. I'm about to get one for my brother's 18th Birthday :D

[@rodier_ratafakus]

Which model u used?

[@timrosecod]

Hey I really love your pictures but wich telescope do you use for deep sky

[@TheAstroChannel99]

I use my Skywatcher 130mm reflector, attached to my Alt-AZ GOTO mount.

[@fixationuk]

Did you have any dslr focus problems with the 130? I can't focus mine and either need to use a Barlow or mod on a low profile focuser

[@GiMauriel]

I had to cut my focuser a bit and could manage to reach tthe focus by screwing a hole in the tube of the focuser to place de t ring adapter, it worked well!

[@TheAstroChannel99]

I don't know the actual name of the song, i just grabbed it from Soundcloud. :)

[@7Earthsky]

Glad you put that out there....There's always a twerp wants to know the name of background music now days.

[@presoonjames438]

But somehow you need to help.. I really like this track and thinking about to play this .. so if you could help with this then.... Yeah.. it's up to you

[@brettbrannon4775]

Haha Siri never fails. It’s broken confidence by Sebastian cloutier😁

[@FlyGuy870]

Hello, how would this telescope compare to the orion spaceprobe 130? (Not the ST version)

[@maddoxoffthewall812]

the sky watcher, celestron and orion 130s will be about the same no major differences

[@mathieuclerte5252]

What adapter did u use to plug your DSLR on the scope please ? Thanks

[@gowdsake7103]

Just get a t ring adaptor from ebay for your camera

[@dr.mayurpatel8709]

which telescope do you use for this photography?

[@TheAstroChannel99]

As said in the title, a Skywatcher 130mm Reflector.

[@peterszarvas6794]

could you tell me the full name of the telescope you used ?

[@TheAstroChannel99]

Péter Szarvas Skywatcher 5" Reflector GOTO www.ozscopes.com.au/skywatcher-130-650-azgt-reflector-telescope.html

[@TheAstroChannel99]

Hey Liviu! This was using an ATL-AZ GOTO computerised mount. So i cant take exposures for longer than about 25-30 minutes :P other wise the rotation is too noticeable.

[@stefblue416]

Wow, I thought you were using a GEM (I missed your other reply about the mount). The results are brilliant. Congratulations.

[@TheAstroChannel99]

Thankyou! :D

[@CzechSpiritHD]

25-30 seconds* (You said minutes - impossible with ALT/AZ mount. Even with EQ mount it's a challenge to do 30min sub)

[@TheAstroChannel99]

I didn't realise it said minutes until now! haha thankyou for pointing that out for me! :)

[@albertsiburian6406]

Please tutorial for deep sky object 🙏

[@TheAstroChannel99]

I plan on doing some livestreaming, showing the process and what goes on, how to achieve different things, etc. :)

[@albertsiburian6406]

@@TheAstroChannel99 thanks sir

[@miklostothhorgosi8293]

Hey. Dont use barlow. Try to make more exposures. What type of mount did you use? Have you got goto? You need to make 3-4 or even 5minutes of exposure for 1 frame. And if you take maybe 30, 5minutes subs, that will be enough to capture enough light. Did you use any software? I recomend Deep sky stacker, to align all exposure. Without the software you never gonna have a fully detailed image. If you have any question, than DM me. Greetings!

[@TheAstroChannel99]

Thanks mate! I've learned this over the years. Having recently got back into this my methods and techniques have changed. 5 years later haha.

[@MrRastaman72]

Wow

[@BHILL2012]

DEADLY :)

[@ayanmukherjee.7463]

I want a telescope 😭

[@onlyme6479]

I get better pictures of the moon with my lumix fz82

[@TheAstroChannel99]

I assure you my techniques have gotten better since this video. :)
