Ok, a couple of things: 1. You're a great astrophotographer and your images and astrovlogs always inspire me. 2. There are are really only a handful of good astrophotography youtubers; you and Trevor are two of them. 3. What really impressed me is your humility by saying you're not in a position to give editing tutorials and shouting out Trevor. Respect. 4. This gets thrown around a lot on youtube, but I want you to know I really mean it: THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge! I can't wait for the skies to clear for me to get my ass into gear! :) All the best from Slovenia!

As always well produced and informative (and personable!). Interesting to hear about the lens hood and lens warmer preventing frost and dew - I have made up a super-long black lens hood (four times the length of the Canon one) which slides over the proprietary hood to provide a lot of extra shielding. Of course this is only good for long focal lengths - anything wide shows the hood at the sides. It works well though - leaving the camera out to take frames all night down to -10C sees no frost on the unwarmed lens.

Huge thanks for this and your other videos. Astrophotography is a subject I've always been greatly interested in but never taken the plunge, until now. I do have a Canon 7D with a couple of telescopic lenses covering short and long zooms. I've also purchased your Lightroom presets - nice work. I'm looking at that Skywalker tracker (can't find the damn thing to buy though...all appear sold out). Hopefully this will allow me to get started with some reasonable photos.

Alyn, I also get a similar 50/50 keeper rate with my setup (300mm F4 with 1.4x extender) at 1 minute exposures with some trailing and "double stars". Glad to know I'm not the only one with these problems. :) There tutorials online on disassembly and cleaning of internals/tightening screws to improve gear slippage, but none of these helped me. Thank you and keep up the good work, this channeling is fantastic!

It will be interesting to see how you get on with auto guiding the star adventurer, I have recently set my rig up with an ST4 cable from guide port to a pulse control module with USB cable to my Lenovo SSD laptop using PHD and appropriate Ascom software. The thing to remember is to turn off the Dec and use just the RA pulse in PHD. There are not many people doing this on line as yet, Not sure if Trevor Jones has. Anyhow Good luck,look forward to see the results..

Anyway, this encourages me to start trying this field of photography. Just a question.. what are the settings used? 120 seconds is the exposure time but what the about the focal length, aperture and iso? TIA

@micr75i 3 жыл бұрын

really good stuff! A couple of things: Deep Sky Stacker if I am not mistaken can give your light frames a score (higher = better) based on the average start circumference. That should catch the frames that you eliminated manually right? In other words you shouldn't need to use lightroom to go through 100 photos to throw away the bad ones but then I don't know how good Deep Sky Stacker is in doing that. Other question: any thoughts on the new Sigma 100-400 for Sony when it comes to Astro? thanks a lot! Look forward to your next videos :)

Glad I'm not the only one to get the camera lens misted up. I've lost a couple of long sessions that way and it's no fun when you've been in the cold for a couple of hours. Those lens heaters are ace. Stay off grass wherever possible and absolutely avoid being downwind of trees. They kick out a ton of moisture.

@joeshmoe7967 4 жыл бұрын

Just for fun and learning, you should stack all the images. Even with off round stars DSS will stack. It will give you an idea of how much the extra data will add to the details. Also what ISO did you shoot at. I have the star adventurer and it is a great little rig. Shooting with 300mm and Canon 7D mkii. I use 2 minute subs with no guiding and get good results. I typically shoot 15 frames then check settings etc, just in case something is off.

Hey Alyn I've just started with deepsky photography and yesterday I tried to photograph the andromeda galaxy for the second time in darker area. I'm using the skywatcher staradventurer 2i. I've used the Sony 200600mm objectiv and 30sec exposures and all frames where sharp but andromeda moved slowly but constant out of my frame. What could be the reason for this problem. Thanks for all answers🙌🏼

@ralphwatson7036 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for another great video, Alyn. I hope you'll be able to demonstrate the new ASI Air Pro that's coming soon. Do you think the periodic error you describe increases with the weight of the camera/lens?

@joeshmoe7967 4 жыл бұрын

Weight of the rig is a factor. Ensuring proper balance is crucial. The Star Adventurer is rated for 11lb. For heavier set ups the 'pro pack' counter weight kit or equivalent is absolutely a requirement. I shoot a Max of 20 subs, but usually 10-15 subs then double check things. You can waste a ton of time if things go wrong and you don't catch it until you get to processing.

I have kind of this setup A7R3 and the 100-400 and a mount. Been thinking about picking up an extender not only for astro but also for wildlife. Would it be beneficial to get either the 1.4x or 2.0x for astro or is the loss of light from a higher f-stop not worth the extra reach?

Hi Alyn, what software are you using to control the camera for those long exposures?

@davidmartin8724 4 жыл бұрын

Alyn, I am still learning the Star Adventurer (as well as this part of astrophotography in general) and last night was one of the first good nights I've had even with clouds (getting 2.5 - 3 minute exposures w the 24mm on Orion w gorgeous reds popping out) - but I had issues two nights ago with it when I thought I was aligned and then had other issues (with a suspected lens decentered) the previous weeks and I was paranoid that I had a tilted sensor after my camera was modded - so I think some of it maybe what you say and some of it is still me learning/user error. Appreciate your videos!
