Thanks!, Although the conditions for photographing planets from a balcony are sometimes difficult, there are many benefits of easy access. I enjoy planetary photography as my life's work.

@@SuperRbstar did you took a look of the Paris balcony with the mewlon 300 ?

@@MrTassadit My telescope is a Celestron C14, and I was able to watch the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics 2024 on TV. It was raining, wasn't it?

Thanks!, I think anyone can do it.

@@SuperRbstar yeah, with enough aperture.

Thanks!, My life's work is high-resolution planetary photography. Still, I'm always impressed by the planets I see directly through my telescope.

Thanks!

Спасибо.

Thanks!, Video digital planetary photography has become possible to obtain ultra-high resolution planetary images by image processing technology. This is unthinkable in the silver halide film era. I am grateful for the evolution of image processing technology.

Thanks!, The first time I wanted to look at stars through a telescope was Jupiter.

Thanks!,I don't think it's popular.

Thanks!

Thank you for your wonderful comment. I'm uploading it to KZfaq because I want people to know the excitement of being able to capture so much detail with an amateur telescope.

Thanks!

I have the opposite problem as you

Thanks!, I think that the LRGB(mono+color) method, which combines high-resolution monochrome and color information, is the best method for planetary photography.

@@SuperRbstar I agree. As convenient as a color sensor can be, monochrome sensors make more efficient use of the available photons by doing without the Bayer matrix. I chose to go the with mono and Baader LRGB + "ultra-narrowband" filters since I live just south of NYC. Currently been using my wide-field refractor more but I love using my SCT. Before summer I plan to be better prepared to to image planets once more. I can never get enough of Jupiter and Saturn.

@@DJRonnieG Schmidt-Cassegrain is very effective for high-resolution planetary photography. I wish you good luck.

Thanks!, I will do my best to take better planetary images.

Thanks!, Capturing and processing images takes time, but it's fun for me.

Thanks!, My first telescope was a single lens with an aperture of 6 cm. My desire to see more has led to this telescope.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!, When I see a planet shaking in its atmosphere, I can clearly see that we live on a planet with an atmosphere. If we went to a world without an atmosphere, we would be able to photograph planets in even more detail.

Thanks!, I believe that we will have to wait to seeing the sky, but by ventilating the telescope's tube current with an electric fan, we were able to demonstrate the capabilities of C14.

Thanks!, Yes, I'm doing it on a balcony in the city.On a normal night, I can only see up to 2nd magnitude stars, but bright planets are fine.

@@SuperRbstar amazing work, really ☺️👍

Thanks!

A tool (telescope) is required, but the technique can be overcome with practice. I believe that anyone can do it if they try hard.

@@SuperRbstar I know, my friend. Actually I own a cheap Newtown Reflector but on an azimuthal mounting which makes me crazy lol. You can imagine why

@@sigisalmen2399 I used to look at planets with a Newtonian reflector telescope using Alt/Az.

Thanks!, Also see the new Saturn and Mars.

Thanks!, The C14 is a telescope that captures the planet well.

Is not the scope that made the difference.

Thanks!

Thanks!, I don't know why, but this has the highest number of views among my KZfaq videos.

Thanks!

Thanks!

My 2021 season hasn't started yet. Japan has entered the rainy season, and it seems that it will be a while before we shoot Saturn and Jupiter. Unfortunately, Uranus and Neptune are out of scope for me.

@@SuperRbstar I understand. I lived on the 10th floor once too. Light pollution was very bad. But i managed to find Neptune once when it was right next to Venus. Maybe one day you will be lucky and be able to find one of them.

@@bazpearce9993 Thanks!, I'll do my best.

Thanks!, I would like to live in a place with good seeing, but the reality is difficult. I will do my best under the Japanese sky.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

@@SuperRbstar I appreciated Saturn and Jupiter. Very good

Thanks!, It can't beat recent probes, but I think it's on par with early Pioneers.

@@SuperRbstar I mean we amateur astrophotographers and astronomers hete are limited to the atmosphereric wobbling. That's why i am impressed you can eaven get such images. I am sure that people wouldn't differ your and online images. It's just that awesome ! It's a pitty powerful telescopes cost far mor in money. My already costed 189€. Can't imagine the cost of the camera and telescope

Thanks!, The effects of atmospheric fluctuations can now be overcome to a large extent using video digital techniques. The aperture determines how much detail of the planet can be captured. A telescope with a large aperture will cost more, but you have no choice but to look for a telescope with high cost performance. I arrived at the answer of a used Schmidt-Cassegrain.

Thanks!

Mon C14 est un modèle de 1988 que j'ai acheté d'occasion, et le revêtement se décolle et il n'est pas en bon état, mais lorsque je l'ajuste et prends une photo, je peux capturer la résolution de l'ouverture. merci.

Thanks!, With Celestron Nexstar Evolution 9.25 you can shoot fairly high resolution planets. All you have to do is make an effort.

@@SuperRbstar oh yes i know but it also depends on on seeing conditions. Observations from where i is pretty poor, it's always cloudy and rainy in a very heavy light polluted area.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!, I would be happy if people knew that planets seen from the ground could be seen so much with a telescope.

Thanks!, ZWO ASI462MC and ZWO ASI 290MM are switched by a flip mirror. I can't shoot with two cameras at the same time.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!, I was also unable to capture such details when visually observing with an astronomical telescope. Thanks to today's high-sensitivity digital video cameras and image processing software, it is now possible to capture ultra-detailed images of the Martian surface. I think it's thanks to the many great predecessors that I can enjoy looking at Mars.

@@SuperRbstar Yes, absolutely, the innovations of the computer and digital imaging are the game changers. Incredible results. My comment was meant as a testament to our technological advancements. It's inspiring when you consider that Lowell's state of the art technology in 1894 is weak compared to the tools that any hobbyist can now use to explore the cosmos. How fun would it be to be able to travel back in time for a day, and bring these tools to Lowell. Imagine the sense of awe he would experience.

@@thisisreallife5086 Thanks!, I'm enjoying the planet created by advanced image processing in digital video.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!, I want better seeing.

Grazie. Sono felice.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!, ASI462MC is more sensitive than ASI224MC. The sensitivity is very high in the infrared region, but it is also slightly high in the visible light region. Since July 2020, the ASI462MC has been the main color CMOS camera.

@@SuperRbstar I assume the way you do your LRGB, the fact that the 462 and the 290 have the same pixel size and chip size simplifies the processing. But if you use an IR-cut filter, the extra infrared sensitivity is not apparent, I suspect. I have the 224MC but I am not sure it is worth upgrading. The 224MC really does have zero amp-glow so it is useful for longer exposures also. Have you tested for amp-glow on the 462?

@@douglassmith1215 The pixel size is different between ASI462MC and ASI224MC, but it is matched to the size of ASI290MM on the software when performing LRGB composition. I am using an infrared cut filter when capturing the ASI290MM and ASI462MC. I believe that both monochrome and color CMOS cameras can express the correct colors of the planet by shooting in the visible light region. I haven't tested Ampglow because I only shoot planets.

merci. Je ferai de mon mieux.

Thanks!, I can observe the icy polar caps and clouds of Mars.

Thanks!

Thanks!, Japan, where I live, is in the northern hemisphere, and when I look at the planet with an astronomical telescope, I see the south above. My planet image is south up.

ありがとうございます。街中のベランダで明るい惑星のみに邁進しています。ディープスカイには手を出しておりません。惑星撮影システムで銀河を狙っている人も居られますが、今の私は惑星のみです。

Very good excellent just shows what you can do A long way from 1980s This is great plus music was nice too

Thanks!, I think it's the same even if it was a used car from 25 years ago. I believe that a digital single-lens reflex camera is not suitable for photographing planets. I think a CMOS camera for planetary photography is good.

Thanks!

Thanks!, A 2-inch 2x barrow is used for magnification. Composite F = 37 and large shooting. ROI is Mars = 800x800, Jupiter and Saturn = 1400x1096.

Thanks!, I try to keep it as inconspicuous as possible by watching the stars at night, and I try not to make any noise as much as possible.

Thanks!, When I look at the universe through a telescope, I feel like I am inside it.

Thanks!, The viewfinder is 5 cm x 12, which is slightly higher than normal.

Thanks!, I will do my best not to lose to Jean-Luc Dauvergne.

Thanks!, I only play planets and don't play deep sky much.

Thanks!, The reason why the planet shakes and sometimes becomes blurry is because of the atmosphere.

In my case, I am doing LRGB composition (monochrome + color) using both high resolution 290MM monochrome and color information acquisition 462MC, so I need both. If you don't want LRGB compositing, we recommend the 462MC color camera.

Thanks!, Seeing in Japan is not so good by global standards. However, the planetary image by moving image processing has become much more detailed than the planetary image of a decade ago. I will do my best in the future.

Thanks!, The stacking software I use is AUTOSTAKKERT!3, which is for PC. I don't know anything about smartphones.

@@SuperRbstar thank you very much!

Thanks!, Jupiter is a gas planet, and what you see through a telescope is clouds.

@@SuperRbstar oh I see. Is that the same for Saturn etc? The end images look too perfect, almost like they're over processed. Almost animated. Is that from the software? I'm talking about all the images I've seen, not just these.

@@richandkidarcheryandoutdoo4372 Thanks!,Saturn is also a gas planet. If conditions are good, craters may be visible on Mars. Whether the image processing is overdone is a matter of personal judgment.

@@SuperRbstar thanks for the replies. That's what I was wondering, if the images can be overdone.

Thanks!, I use a flip mirror to connect two video cameras to the telescope. Switching manually.

Thanks!, My C14 is fixed to the edge of the balcony. When not in use, it is covered with a plastic bag and a bike cover. It also receives sunlight, rain, and snow. I don't think I can invest any more on my small balcony.

@@SuperRbstar thanks for the feedback. Can you explain how you are using a crayford focuser on your SCT? That seems very interesting for auto focus.

@@stephanegrosjean4990 Thanks!, I am using Clayford Focuser. I use my own step motor controller to focus while visually observing on the PC monitor screen.

Thanks!, 1988 used, $2500 in Japan (at today's rate).

Thanks!

Thanks! Seeing is said to be bad in Japan worldwide. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to demonstrate the capabilities of C14.

Thanks!, Saturn is in focus with my C14. Seeing (air currents) is what makes it look blurry.

What is it?

Thanks!. I'm using WinJUPOS Derotation.

Thanks!, I don't photograph the moon very often, but I try my best when I get the chance.

Thanks!,　I do not understand

Thanks!

Thanks!, I am stacked in AUTOSTAKKERT!3.

Thanks!, I purchased a used Celestron C14 made in 1988. It was 360,000 yen in Japanese yen. The pedestal is one I made myself a long time ago.

@@SuperRbstar ok sir thank you for sharing

Thanks!

Thanks!, Hexagons are difficult to photograph unless Saturn's northern hemisphere is facing the Earth.

My C14 is a used one made in 1988, and the mount is homemade.

What is "How much?"

@@SuperRbstar perdón, cuánto te costó el telescopio?

@@McLOVIN..... Compré mi C14 de segunda mano fabricado en 1988. Fue alrededor de $ 3000. En Japón, el Schmidt-Cassegrain de Celestron es aproximadamente el doble del precio de venta en los Estados Unidos. El pórtico lo hago yo mismo, y el C14 también está equipado con un ventilador y modificado.

Thanks!, Please watch with the sound off.
