You have so cute humble and awsome personality.thanks for sharing knowledge

[@markbrown8048]

What a great video! I love how you mentioned what focal length would be best. 😊 Thank you, beautiful smile👍

[@OPTTelescopes]

Thanks for the great feedback! we will be sure to include the same info in upcoming videos!

[@CathrinMachinArt]

This video was so helpful! great work guys.

[@OPTTelescopes]

Thanks Cat! Can't wait till you're back in la and enjoying the cosmos with us.

M42 will always be my favorite

[@ianlauerastroreacts3495]

Awesome! Yessenia killin' it on the videos, way to go!

[@OPTTelescopes]

A natural!!!

[@BGoff]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing my photo!

[@OPTTelescopes]

Thank YOU for allowing us to and help inspire people to go outside and start shooting. You are changing the world one image at a time

[@robmailconway]

Great Information thanks ❤👍

[@astrojourneyuk]

Great summary video. I was looking for something like this to decide what to image ext.

[@OPTTelescopes]

All these are perfectly nice big bright targets which are perfect from beginners to experts! Happy shooting :)

[@Kinnina92]

Wow what an informational fun video. Very clear and easy to follow 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@OPTTelescopes]

Thank you so much! we try to make it easy and fun for everyone to understand and join along

[@Dylans_astro]

I was actually thinking about what to image this weekend! This gave some good perspective!

[@OPTTelescopes]

So glad this helped! There's so many amazing objects to choose from :)

[@harveythommes2847]

Great information! Thanks!

[@OPTTelescopes]

Thanks!

[@mikemccann8822]

Great idea! Need two accompanying videos : objects for focal length range 700 to 1200mm, and another for 1200 to 2200mm. Cheers

[@OPTTelescopes]

Thats not a bad idea! We might keep that in mind for future videos, or make it 20 objects with half being more widefield and the other half being long-range

[@Ziogeppo00]

I am a beginner and found this video VERY useful, very beautiful. Please, do the same for spring, summer and fall 🙂

[@miroslavk.5049]

I give you a plus but you should state the same information for each object like a constellation and distance just in order to be coherent.

[@OPTTelescopes]

thanks for the feedback, we will keep that in mind

[@scuttlebum]

Winter is coming, and it's bringing some primo objects

[@OPTTelescopes]

YUP! Hold the Door! We're bringing our telescope!

Hopefully I can go after flaming star sometime! Thanks for this video

[@DLMVegas]

Thanks for this video but I have a couple of questions. Not only for this video but the other videos that are for spring and summer. You say the information for shooting these objects is based on a 4:3 camera. Compared to my Nikon D810 that 4:3 camera is 2:1. If I use a 600mm lens on my camera it would be 600mm. If I put that lens on a 4:3 camera it would be 1200mm. For example, to shoot a particular object in the sky you say best to use 600-800mm for that object. Does that mean I need 1200-1600mm to shoot it with my Nikon?

[@bsabadifilms4439]

Aww im late

[@JonnyBravo0311]

A lot of the targets you mentioned were good for broadband really had me scratching my head. Heart and Soul? They're emission nebulae. California? Same. When you're suggesting broadband, are you assuming that the camera being used is either a dedicated camera (like the mentioned ASI1600) or a modified DSLR? Because people using unmodified cameras will likely be sorely disappointed with their results on pretty much every nebula you mentioned except for m42. It's Valentine's Day in a couple of weeks... I would have thought you'd include the rose on the list :)

[@davidchilders2150]

Nice

[@OPTTelescopes]

thanks you

[@bazpearce9993]

No Rosette nebula? NGC2237 for anyone interested.

[@stevenanderson8986]

What would also be helpful is if you could give some suggestions on exposure time, number of exposures and ISO settings for DSLR users. There doesn’t seem to be any information on this that I can find.

[@OPTTelescopes]

We unfortunately cant give that information because it changes depending on many things like filters if you're tracking, how good your tracking and polar alignment is, the amount of light pollution in the sky, guiding, even what kind of sensor and camera will change these answers. There are so many variables that will change the answer to your question. Our best advice is to use the histogram if you don't already. Your histogram will give you a good indication on if your over or under exposed on your target

[@tommasovallone24]

Is a focal length of 650 mm still good enough and an aperture of 130 mm

[@grandmasteryoda9893]

depend what you mean with good. focal length and miroir size realy dont have much impact how well made the optical preformanse are exept from the f ratio. but that (f ratio)only is about speed the sharpnes is not a part of it.

[@mikepetzold6357]

To bad the raptors are sold out for months and I can’t see any of these

[@OPTTelescopes]

We get shipments in around once a month, the best way to get one is to order it and as soon as they come in, we ship them out to you! It's worth it!
