Alyn's passing is really a great loss to the world. He had such a passion for what he did. He'll be sorely missed. Nice of you to dedicate the video episode to him.

I didn't know until watching this video about Alyn's passing. I remember finding his videos about a year ago and listening to his story about his life and getting into astrophotography. It really resonated with me because at that point I was also dealing with personal issues of my own and even though I've always been interested in astronomy and photography, I never really jumped deep into the hobby. After watching his videos I really tried, and still trying, to step up my astrophotography game. I am still in shock.

Great video Alex. I still have the 2nd gen MSM, which your videos from way back when helped me getting set up. This one for the nomad is also good, and I appreciate you setting expectations, the MSM has never really been suited (or designed) for longer focal lengths. Lovely tribute to Alyn. I suspect many wide-angle astrophotographers were inspired and taught by his videos and tutorials on nightscapes. Myself included.

Great test, thanks for sharing! I should seriously consider getting a Nomad. So portable. Any 14er videos in the making again also? Love watching you progress through that project 👌

The 14ers have been slow this year... dumb life has had so much going on. I think I might go for an adventure later this week

Are the Nomad batteries Lithium? Can they be replaced - consumer standard?

Nice of you to dedicate this video to Alyn. His passing is such a loss You’ve got me stumped. Is that the EF 200mm lens? I believe that it’s been discontinued.

How often do you find the MSM has to be charged? Can you get through 4-6 hours of shooting or a full night before you need to charge it?
@chasingluminance2 ай бұрын
Depends on the temps. 4-6 hours probably All night no. But it can run off of a battery pack
