[@pynkfloyd8105]

Dunno. But the tech is cool

[@simonj48]

I know right. Bloody tech kids and all their toys. What he needs to do is create his own paper from tree mulch, and then create a photosyth dye from the tree leaves, and then create a pin hole camera box out of the paper and infuse the paper so he can take a picture. Then forge some sand to create glass, and then make telescope tube out of the paper he made, and use some of the sand and paper to lip the glass into highly defined focal lens and put them in the tube. He can then use the telescope with his glass lens to focus the picture of the moon on his photo paper in his pin shoebox camera. Then he'll be able to hold it still enough over the course of 20 minutes manually tracking the moon with his 100% home made camera setup, and he'll be rewarded with a blury mess on a bit of paper that he can burn, along with the rest of the shit he built. Because that'll not impress him, nor any one on youtube ... ok maybe a few people it'd impress, but the majority of his subscribers want gadget gadget and more gadgets. welcome to the internet. *hands you a star*

[@T5Zplayer]

you need to pay attention and choose a more accurate assessment, this gives you options, you can use the output processed by stellina, then, and/or, downlload raw data and post process as is the norm.

For that price tag you can build a very nice mid-range, dedicated astrophotography setup, that not only will let you get more into this wonderful hobby, but let you make pictures that are worlds better, than ou can do with this _thing_ AND you will have some spare change left

[@T5Zplayer]

dont see how this comment is totally accurate to be honest. yes you can spend less, or more, but the reality is down to what you catch on the day, and what processing you use post stack. The stellina data can also be processed in the same way. The set up you refer to is often messy, prone to error, and output quality is down to post processing and no stack is the same. Not all astrophotography has to follow your view of what counts as right or wrong.

[@christoph4977]

@@T5Zplayer What part is not accurate? I can post dozens of setups, that will let you make better pictures for a much lower price tag. Yes, you are correct in what you say about the ease of capturing. I have yet to see anything better for just setting up on the balcony or garden and seeing some quite nice pictures a few minutes later. But I wasn't disputing that. I am all for making the wonderful science/hobby accessible to as many people as possible. My personal oppinion is, that this is the wrong way to go. Spending 4k for a STARTER setup is not my idea of getting into something. My intuition is, that this thing, with all the great things it can do, is bought as a gimmick to show of at a cocktail party for rich people, not something that introduces new astrophotographers to the hobby. But maybe I'm wrong. If only one guest sees such a picture and starts browsing cloudynights asking how to get into the hobby without spending thousands ofg dollars, we have the birth of another enthusiast. So even though the buyer might be left with a toy he hardly uses, the stellina could still have had a positive impact overall :) peace

[@allnamesaretaken]

The Stelina has been around awhile, take it from an Astronomer, its over priced for what it does. You can buy considerably more aperture for the price (this means you can see so much more and in more detail than this thing) and still have boat loads of money left over to buy a ZWO/Canon or the budget SvBony cams if you really want to use a camera or you can learn to hook up your phone to the eyepiece. This is after you bought your eyepieces, Sun filter etc. It depends on electricity, the internet and an app. If you run out of electricity or can't get an internet connection, it won't work. If they go bust, its going to be an expensive paper weight because once the app stops working, so will this over-hyped toy. When you get bored with a telescope, you can buy a larger one and use all of your equipment on the new one, with the Stelina, once you get bored with it, you are stuck with what you bought. It doesn't have anywhere near the same enjoyment as you would get from looking into an eyepiece or a binoviewer. Honestly, if you just want to look at pictures on a phone or tablet, then astronomy is not for you. Just Google them. The Stelina is like buying a second hand KIA at brand new Porsche prices. I can setup a rig for a quarter of the price and give you better results than this can. I can list many more reasons but we all know that very few people are going to buy these, they are for rich people trying to look relevant, to impress the clueless and to show the world that they have money, even though its old tech. The guy in this video however, hasn't a clue what he is talking about and talks like he is talking to 2 year olds and acts just as surprised as a 2 year old would. Typical of those who are easily impressed. You ripped yourself off in your pursuit to look cool on the internet.

[@allnamesaretaken]

@Nora DarrharI have been to a lot of star parties and outreach events, i have yet to come across any genuine astronomers to see any value in this product. Don't get me wrong, it does what it says on the tin but you are missing the point. Anyone with an ounce of knowledge in astronomy can set up a rig far far cheaper with much more aperture (optics), less restriction on magnification, that means you can go deeper and record the planets (can go from as low as the telescope would allow to much more than Stelinas limited 50X, try recording a good image of Mars/Jupiter/Saturn at 50X, they are already small in the field of view but at 50X, they are too small). Digital Zoom is a computer gimmick that we have been able to do on computers since the 90s, Digital Zoom is not the same or even in the same league as optical zoom. As someone who has been in astronomy for quite some time and a web developer/designer, it annoys me when companies try to conflate optical and digital zoom to confuse the public. As for filters like a Sun/UHC/OLLI/H-BETA/Colour filters and others. No support. We have been using automated systems for a long time in Astronomy, the Stelina brings nothing new to the table in respect to tripods/optics. A Celestron LCM 90 Computerised Refractor Telescope (10mm more than your 80mm) can do what the Stelina can do with a astrocam/DSLR/phone hooked up to it, as can any of the Celestron NexStar 5/6/8SE Computerised Telescopes and are more versatile because you can use eyepieces, filters, barlow lenses etc. True hybrids that don't skimp on functionality. There is no "spending a lot of time installing material", your claim sounds like you haven't a clue about astronomy or the products on the market. You can easily use Sharpcap and Registax (all free) on any device, all automated, select the cam you use and set it and that's it, for free with almost any camera that hooks up to a telescope, its no different than using your app and can all huddle around the device you use it on if you wanted to. I can give more reasons as to why this product is over priced and bulky for what it does. You are fooling no one except those who who know little to nothing about what astronomy and the astronomy market has to offer. Case in point, the person in the video. Might i suggest you try sites like Stargazerslounge and Cloudynights (both very well know and full of professional astronomers) to learn a bit more. Fact still remains, Stelina is over priced for what it does.

[@ohhellno8759]

AllNamesAreTaken - Agreed. If you’re serious about astronomy, a regular telescope is BY FAR the best path to go.

[@Guido_XL]

As a starting astronomy amateur, I couldn't agree more. This stunningly looking device (very reminiscent of Eve in the movie "Wall-e") is certainly a beauty, but it begs the question as to why an amateur would buy it, whilst there is so much amateur gear already out there, supported by a world of experience from the community of senior amateurs. Yes, I feel very tempted by it, but I also know that there is always a price to pay for taking a shortcut, and it's not just about money. Getting into a vast hobby demands effort, stamina, persistence, interest, time and patience. There is no substitute for the awe and inspiration that every amateur-astronomer feels when Jupiter and Saturn are observed in full view for the first time, staring through a 1.25" eyepiece, soon to be replaced by a 2", accompanied by a 2" dual focuser, after which the diagonals are replaced for better quality devices and the first camera is tried, with the first guiding attempt on the recently motorised equatorial mount axes. That is living a hobby, not buying it at the first day, after which there is nothing left to covet.

[@jujubean7664]

@@T5Zplayer I personally think that this is a poor choice of telescope for $4000, simply because the image quality is not worth the price tag at all. A $2000 astrophotography setup would give results MUCH better than Stellina. If you prefer to do visual, a 16" Dobsonian would give you amazing views of space with your own eyes, also for 1/2 the price of Stellina. Stellina has a 3.15" OTA which you can purchase for

[@burnt_toast_astro7180]

@@T5Zplayer Dude this telescope is a ripoff. Ive been able to take just as good pictures with an old $200 telescope, $150 eyepiece, and my cell phone. For $4000 you can get an amazing setup that is capable of taking photos of nebula and galaxies. This telescope is something some rich guy bought who knows nothing about astronomy

[@Goalatio]

@@jujubean7664 how do you figure? My previous setup was cgem 2 ($1750), ed80t cf($850), various pieces/starfinder (about $250), DSLR $700, laptop to run it all about $700, battery pack $400... With all that gear it gets to a point where everything it automated anyways? I'd rather have this stellina now as there's no setup involved and the f/ratio and ota specs are similar to what I used to use. Maybe you can do it cheaper than I did, and maybe my setup took slightly better pictures, but this is still awesome and saying it takes the enjoyment out of it because it does everything for you is wrong. You set up all your gear enough times, it becomes a simple process and rarely do you need any human input.

[@simonj48]

Basically, you've paid £4000 for a picture of the moon you could have downloaded from google. Your picture is going to look pretty much exactly the same as every other moon picture because the moon always faces the same way to earth. Probably the worse use case of this type of telescope is to take a picture of the moon. What you want to do is use custom app/firmware to take gigapixel panoramic of things in the day time. At least you'll be able to make use of it in a more fun and entertaining way. Have a look at www.gigapixel.com for some examples.

[@IIIIII-ke3lo]

I find it difficult to believe you actually bought this.
