  3. Hey folks, This is a short one, not an epic. Although in terms of the content it is an important one. I'm gonna be in a small cottage in Wales when this premiers. If I'm not online its because something bad has happened to my internet connection. Fingers crossed.

  4. Despite the wonderful comments and big long watch time this video is tanking. Not sure why. If you like the film I would very much appreciate a share, hopefully that will kick YouTubes algorithm into action. Thank you for watching 😊

  5. and it takes bloomin ages. i wish there was a quicker way but Io likes to do it proper

  6. Hi folks, sorry this video is more action adventure than NERDY but it is what happened so there we go... The next episode will be feature more astro engineering and nerdyness and its dropping in a couple of weeks: https://youtu.be/ms5gErdFT-o

  7. Voy a tener que aprender español Entonces mira el video de Dross. Entonces podría comenzar a entender lo que está pasando. pero sea lo que sea es bueno. = I'm going to have to learn spanish. Then watch Dross's video. Then I might begin to understand what is going on but whatever it is its good! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

  8. 😂 the hampster may be better looking but he's a short arse!
    126
  9. Thank you sir😃 my mate Rob will be most impressed that you left a comment
    120
  10. Hey JerryRigEverything thanks for watching😄, any Youtubing advice would be most welcome. 👍
    114
  11. thx everyone... really nice to hear the enthusiasm. Missed you😁
    110
  12. Shhh but i took all the optics out. 🤓
    108
  13. Yes I'm back ;-) Spent far too long making this video...
    95
  14. I think they're more worried about where I'm pointing my telescopes😂
    95
  15.  @alpsalish  yeh I'm a good video editor and I cut out all my crap presenting!
    92
  16. Thx for the warm feedback folks. BTW if anyone spots a link that isn't working please message me sales@astrobiscuit.com thanking you most kindly
    91
  17. and of course the question Mrs biscuit is asking now is why haven't I sold the expensive kit...
    85
  18. +exoc1 thx buddy. i like your comment 😃
    85
  19. Thx shiver ... I'll remind her of what you've said!!!
    79
  20. Happy New Year Everybody: If you really want to punish your hungover brain then watch this 🤣🤣🤣
    75
  21. +Al Dinelt hee hee... ive just bought another scope for my birthday.
    67
  22. very muxh appreciated dude. tbh i am really an editor
    61
  23. You are very welcome
    48
  24. +Dead Meme you sir have what it takes to be an astrophotographer... I can't remember how many light frames... 100, 200 - in your case with such a high iso and short exposure you will need many more frames than i did. Assuming your newt is f5 rather than the slower f8 version you should get something if you are pointing at the bright central part of orion nebula consitently. You will need to continuously move your dob and it will be very very tough but i think it is possible. Please ask another question and we'll figure it out.
    43
  25. ha be careful... it can ruin your life
    42
  26. Cool. I bet those soviet binos have great optics
    39
  27. ... then I'll be out of a job🤣
    38
  28. thanking you kindly
    36
  29. thx mate
    36
  30. hey Dylan thx for watching. 😊 I am a fan
    35
  31. Excellent 👌
    32
  32. Ha! 🤣
    32
  33. sorry not yet. lots of videos out there tho. search for deep sky stacker tutorial
    31
  34. well done Helena thought you were fab
    31
  35. 😂😂😂
    29
  36. 😂
    29
  37. excellent, makes me very happy
    28
  38. +Alyn Wallace cheers alyne, glad the weathers gonna be good tonight.😃
    28
  39. 🤣🤣🤣
    28
  40. made me laugh 😂
    26
  41. 👍🤣
    25
  42. awesome bunny and I worked hard to try and make it work.
    25
  43. thx if you like the video I'd be very grateful for a share as the video is doing astonishingly badly and sharing helps wake up Youtube's algorithm. I think I made a mistake and loaded it as unlisted for a few days and the algorithm thought no one was watching it.
    25
  44. thx Tom most appreciated ;-)
    24
  45. hope you like it.
    24
  46. +Albert Einstein glad your keeping up to date!
    23
  47. Thx buddy... Much appreciated.😉 Canada must have gr8 dark skies!
    23
  48. gosh that's good to hear
    22
  49. thx kris means a lot
    21
  50.  @XxPlagueDoctorxX1  Don't worry about the premier dude, its not a big one. you get your zzzzzz's
    20
  51. Thx fells ;-)
    20
  52. Wooooh yeh! Lets do it Martin. Thx for the comments. I've been enjoying watching your videos lately . and yes they really are a lot of work . it's very hard to fit it in with a full time job- that's why I've not made that many , i think you've done a staggering job... What is more than 100 vids now.
    19
  53. Ah mate thank you so much, really appreciate it
    18
  54. not as cheaty as juno ;-)
    18
  55. yeh but I can't make em good in 5 mins but I am going to try and be quicker.
    17
  56. 🤣nice
    17
  57. good find
    17
  58. +Xavier H 😀thx mate
    17
  59. thx bud, yeh fingers crossed they sell as it would be a game changer for the channel. Making these vids is not really a successful YT model. I already know this one won't get a huge number of views just bc of the subject matter.
    16
  60. no... also the budget set ups don't last as long bc they get hurled over cliffs fairly regularly
    16
  61. 😂
    15
  62. +Alorulz Mc yep lots and lots of work. hope you liked it.
    15
  63. Yeh it's one of my faves too
    15
  64. Thx fella. So the final bit of the mega zoom was done in my old copy of a program called after effects. The animations of galaxies colliding came from nasa😃
    15
  65. cheers fella Peter did a good job
    15
  66.  @michaelmontgomery6388  🤣🤣
    15
  67.  @Pekay_one  oh yeh. It was dark so every frame is in fact a second or two long exposure. I expect this is a satelitte.
    14
  68. ​ @opsiialpha thxbbud means a lot. more videos coming - with telescopes in em too😂
    14
  69. shhh or riktenstein will want a pay rise😂 thankyou😁
    14
  70. hey Patrick gonna have to look up the LOFAR-method. sound like you knows your biscuits
    14
  71. wow that is good
    14
  72. i can't possibly do it again.... can i?
    13
  73. The thing about dark matter is that we can't find it. Either its there and we just can't find it or its not there and general relativity is wrong. More and more scientists are beginning to question general relativity. Wolfram however predicts that dark matter is hiding somewhere we haven't yet looked. His oligons are particles at the teeniest scales imaginable, something like 10 to the power 20 times smaller than an electron. Wolfram believes his oligons are the missing dark matter we've been looking for. If we find them then physics will be shaken to its core... so my fingers are crossed. Glad you liked the film. phew!
    13
  74. well im glad i now know how to pay my morgage.😂😂😂😂😂 but seriously youve got 16 mins of well explained newtonian collimation advice for free why are you complaining?
    13
  75. sounds cool, its something i might try in London
    13
  76. Well said and thx everyone
    13
  77. yeh I'm about 8million in debt now!!!! thx bud
    13
  78. oh crap i did a Google studio animation to chile but ahh well the edit ended up linking to the old animation to california. doh
    13
  79. +NubeX Lara Gracias por venir y gracias Dross
    12
  80. Riktenstien will be pleased!
    12
  81. cool thx Jackie
    12
  82. yeh... Good luck. my head still hurts
    12
  83. he's at riktensein s playing chess
    12
  84. Thx buddy i plan to get back to a bit of astrobiscuiting in sept
    12
  85. May I just remind my dear viewers that without patrons I wouldn't be able to make any videos. So I have made a longer advanced video as a way of thanking my patrons and as a way of gaining more patrons. If you don't think this is fair on those without the funds to become my patron then please post what you consider to be the best free newtonian collimation video below. I happen to think there is a lot of misinformation out there but I'm happy to support fellow youtubers who get it right. The video should include aligning the focuser, secondary mirror offset and how to check it, testing to see if your focuser can handle the weight of your camera and of course a good method of star collimation as those are the most important topics in my advanced video...
    11
  86. Thank you. That is very rewarding to hear. 👍
    11
  87. can be a bit embarrassing at 2am 15ft from my neighbours window on my roof in london. New mount purrs tho😁
    11
  88. bunny is obsessed with chess and the moment and doesn't give a carrot
    11
  89. thx mate
    11
  90.  @Sharpless2  wooooooooooooo! Yer baby😃 and you resolved the trapesium too! Awesome. I'm gonna do a deepskystacker tutorial when i do milky way with a phone but its been too cloudy to shoot it. Ill try and dig out someone elses tutorial and link it here.
    11
  91.  @geert5811  thx bud. it will help a lot. the YouTube algorithm gets sparked into action when is sees the video getting shared on twitter or fb or anywhere else. it'll help loads. thank you👍👍👍
    10
  92. ahh🙄... yes. if I'd a known..
    10
  93. fine with me? bloomin brilliant. thank you so much😁
    10
  94. thx fella appreciate it.
    10
  95. Lots of good points in this thread. I would just say that like it or not astronomy will and already is getting more robotic albeit with systems more flexible than stellina. The evolution of the nerd is to harness the robotic power and use it for even more extreme nerdyness!
    10
  96. Yeh pink bunny is never that willing to be filmed unless I bribe him with carrots
    10
  97. Cheers bud
    10
  98. yeh i know
    9
  99. cheers si love back at cha
    9
  100. I borrowed the laptop... Honest😂
    9
  101. thx bud, thats what I'm aiming for.
    9
  102. maybe don't watch it... although i supect you haven't
    9
  103.  @Jazzynet100 Ahh thats sweet. i need to see if amazon sell pink bunnies
    9
  104. yeh i got hooked with a simar view, thx bud
    9
  105. Aye she's a keeper
    9
  106. actually next vid is about the best mount for astrophotography...
    8
  107. Ah mate my dad died 18 months ago
    8
  108. 😂
    8
  109. AHH buddy thx and sorry I missed this❤️
    8
  110. yeh I forgot my tape measure but to be fair I get it more right later in the video
    8
  111. 🤣
    8
  112. Thx clive!
    8
  113. Thx bud😁
    8
  114. mate much appreciated . you are an inspiration 👍
    8
  115. Thx bro👍
    8
  116. computer fixed will check uploaf is ok in morning👍
    8
  117. Ummm... In your case with short light frames i'd say Yes. Thing is you should be getting something with just 1 image... If you're not then you need to look at other factors like focusing and alignment and your camera set up.
    8
  118. Cheers gary
    8
  119. Great!!!!  yes it was very cool!
    7
  120. Great video... I photographed the apollo landing site from london! Couldn't see the tracks though!
    7
  121. I need to try using a phone. I'm experimenting with eyepieces
    7
  122.  @JAKOB1977  thx jakob I'm sure you can explain quantum mechanics in 3 sentences much better🤣
    7
  123. hopes so😜thx for your support
    7
  124. Yeh i was looking at mto's the russian ones. Good call😜
    7
  125. thx RANDY, please inform mrs biscuit😂
    7
  126. So sorry for not replying earlier, thx bud really appreciate it.
    7
  127. Yeh mrs biscuit isn't really interested unless its about plants. Do what I do an make up the answers 🤣🤣🤣
    7
  128. Sorry for your loss
    7
  129. 🤣🤣🤣 yes. I have no idea why we do it. I think all uk astronomers sre a bit mad.
    7
  130. Ah thx for the support
    7
  131. Ahh thx for getting one cheers bud
    7
  132. Cool... Yeh seeing andromeda with these binos was one of those wow moments for me
    7
  133. yes it is mind blowing 🤔🙃
    7
  134. ok i'm being a bit thick...found your channel and look forward to watching the vids
    7
  135. AHH thank you mate. Annoying that there is no Starbucks up here😂Next vid drops in 8 days😁
    7
  136. Awesomeness... Dude, I love you too🤣
    7
  137.  @gertjanvandermeij4265  wow gertjan your spending a lot of time trolling me.
    6
  138. I don't currently have enough money to make my videos. I have set up a FREE discord server which helps everyone who comes in. Why no go there. If I can't pay the mortgage then the free videos will stop too...
    6
  139. errr... dude I cock up all the time😂
    6
  140. True... Iets do it! 😂
    6
  141. is it because they are quite dim so a single exposure takes 10 seconds and normal speed video is 25 fps 🤣
    6
  142. So I think it is a good design because it makes use of modern low read noise, small pixel, small sensor cameras. I think its clever. I also think eq mounts are better. Here is my take on it. https://www.astrobiscuit.com/roboscope
    6
  143. good luck ;-)
    6
  144. +Astrophotography Emagazine cheers , i'd like to say it didn't take long....😂
    6
  145. I do use gimp actually and I was planning on doing a processing video using only free software... but I know nothing about linux
    6
  146. i think that the dark side of the moon would be a great place for a scope. Problem is that you can't communitcate with anything on the dark side yet... or at least not easily
    6
  147. yeh tbh this vid is def not going to be everybody's Cup of tea. Some will not like Theoretical physics sitting next to a pink bunny for example.
    6
  148. yea at riktensein s playing chess post watching the queens gambit
    6
  149. My family has zero interest in astro so they are safe
    6
  150. there are a lot of good eggs in this hobby
    6
  151. its a talent
    5
  152. oh mate thanks. Really appreciate it.
    5
  153. thx fella, as it happens Mrs astrobiscuit suggested I sell them in the local cafe!!! Be great if I could get some money coming in.
    5
  154. mee too
    5
  155. thx Garnett... very much appreciated as always
    5
  156. Thx Martin very very kind words from the man with nearly 3000 subscribers!!!
    5
  157. yeh thats right Last big leap forward happened b/c of a telescope... now the James Webb will be looking right back nearly to the big bang
    5
  158. No one likes a smart arse😂
    5
  159. I think that may have been the lip of a crater catching the light...
    5
  160. we have a scope you can do that with on the discord https://discord.gg/astrobiscuit👍
    5
  161. you wouldn't want to use a barlow lens as that reduces the brightness of what your looking at. through a 10inch dob orion looks good but tbh most galaxies look like faint smudges. Sounds bad but there is something about witnessing the infinite that does make you catch your breath anyways.
    5
  162. thx Jason much appreciated 😀
    5
  163. 🤣
    5
  164. Thank you and glad you've started😀
    5
  165.  @atxhooligan  that is true actually... amazing how much ad revenue yt must make as 100k views only earns me a couple of hundred
    5
  166. Great. Laser collimator are good when you are close but not if your not. However if you can colllimate you are in a good place with a powerful scope
    5
  167. about the same wobble as a 30sec exposure... anyway forget atmospheric wobble until you are using 1000mm + focal length scopes
    5
  168. 🤣
    5
  169. hope you used my affiliate links they really help me make videos👍
    5
  170. thanks mate
    5
  171. Yeh im sure fyi the advanced video takes you thru how to get it back into collimation.... but of course that is only available to patrons for £3 a month which judging by some of the comments makes me the prince of darkness😂
    5
  172. As if my family would enjoy the stress of me dropping a film on Christmas day. I think not.
    5
  173. well done you're doing better than rik !!!
    5
  174. yes lots more stars
    5
  175. Brian Cox?
    5
  176. yes👍
    5
  177. the edit took weeks to put together, and yes that shot took me a while. It all takes bloomin ages tbh!
    5
  178. you need a reasonably strong roof to hold it... otherwise I'd def of get a couple
    5
  179. I think that's being kind😂
    5
  180. thx martin appreciate ut
    5
  181. thx mate 😁although this video is currently tanking... 🤔
    5
  182. you haven't watched the video have you
    5
  183. Oh thank you
    4
  184. 😂im always thinking about what im saying...
    4
  185. I shot the footage on 20th Aug. The comet was a bit dimmer than the week before but it was high enough to see over the roofs.
    4
  186. Thx bud
    4
  187. i have bought some new binos... but been stuck in London during lockdown
    4
  188. I'm not cool so...
    4
  189. Thx @mr mac. Honestly its kind words from people like you thay keep me and rik going. 😁
    4
  190. its is slighly better than the 60mm I do mention it on the website and in america I found some similar for under $100 https://www.astrobiscuit.com/best-budget-telescope
    4
  191. ahhh cheers bud much appreciated
    4
  192. +cryo115 cool yep its a shorty😃thx next one will be longer
    4
  193. fair point. I would just add that if we are in some way creating what we experience including space and time then we have no way of proving what real reality is bc we can't measure it... and that makes traditional science less effective at probing this deeper truth. But I know his quest is to guess what is going on beneath our observable reality and show with rigorous maths that general relativity and quantum mechanics emerge.
    4
  194. Maybe one day!
    4
  195. Thx again buddy. Love your comments 😀
    4
  196. good idea
    4
  197. Hey Garnett, how ya doin! Yeh very very cool, glad I stayed up to watch it!
    4
  198. well, I'm trying to get the next one out before christmas... editing it now!
    4
  199.  @washinours  thx Pierre for you honesty. FYI I have a 2.1 degree in physics with astrophysics from Manchester University. I think its very challenging to find metaphor's which won't bore an unscientific audience. I think or at least thought the pixel metaphor was quite good. And I don't agree that we can see the code. The code lives outside our realm. we would have no words to describe it. Space does not even exist in the realm the code inhabits. Hoffman told me our only chance of finding the what might be going on with the code is to is to guess what the code might be and hope our guess reproduces physics as we know it within our virtual realty headset.
    4
  200. i make tv shows but im about to do a corporate
    4
  201. Because I'm selling stuff in the next video and I need time to get everything ready... Also I want to spread out my uploads so I don't have another long spell of no uploads.
    4
  202. That is so far from the mark as to be hysterical
    4
  203. tis something to think about
    4
  204.  @dumbass6329  its not a problem for the planets and moon (and sun obviously) as they are so bright anyway... but for deep space bunny has to stay in his hutch
    4
  205. +Fat Roo Productions well i didn't like to say🤣
    4
  206. Yes forgot tape measure on that one
    4
  207. thx for that good point. Fyi I didn't think that the focuser not pointing at the optical axis merited being in the basic video as most scopes have oversized secondarys which partly compensate for the error. However of course its better to have it squared off so i do run through it in the advanced video and I found a poorly aligned focuser can cause the sensor to be tilted with respect to the mirror and this can potentially make star collimation very difficult. Plenty of free videos about squaring off the focuser out there. feel free to highlight one if you wish. and thx.
    4
  208. Everyone talks to the pink one on my street. It's not weird.
    4
  209. gr8😁 im looking forward to making a video about shooting the milkyway with a phone
    4
  210. dunno... do you live near a train track?
    4
  211. I have got a star adventurer and I think they're great. I plan on doing a vid about it... in fact I am going to test a dual imaging setup on my star adventuer... but I have many plans and not much time ;-)
    4
  212. +Riktenstein 🤣🤣🤣i took the mirror out thank goodness
    4
  213. I have saturated it heavily... really it is a pale blue.
    4
  214. By chance it was 385000miles that night as it was at apogee (prove me wrong😂)
    4
  215. maybe... but I'm now a reformed astrovandal
    4
  216. thx mate
    4
  217. yeh ruktenstien who exactly are you and what have you done with my rabbit😂
    4
  218. Well ! I did try out a number of security cameras which contained ccds and i bought a point grey ccd which i adapted for deep space... But tbh you really need a cooled ccd to do well and they cost quite a bit ... Although your dsi was cooled wasn't it? Essentially the set up would be the same apart from, of course, you replace the dslr with the ccd.
    4
  219. no it was from the mirror guy
    4
  220. i don't understand. How could i possibly tell Pink Bunny
    4
  221. Nebulas and galaxies... you need a pair of binoculars and a dark sight - I can just about see the orion nebula from London but orion is very bright. Planets... the more zoomed in the better but jupiter looks awesome with its moons through a fairly small telescope... actually having a stable mount is more important. My first scope was a skywatcher 90mm with a virtuoso mount. Riks actually gone and bought one (he's turning into a geek too)  https://youtu.be/oySbet53cnI
    4
  222. Hi, clearly you need to sell your car😂
    4
  223. Im not gonna let the cat out of the bag😁 but that was the most popular guess on fb
    4
  224. yeh that is what i think as well, a bad shot of space that has been fought for is worth more than a fancy shot where you just press a button
    4
  225. +Jim Cumming hee he! Rik and I are going to attempt to put out a video every week... Lets see how long that lasts😜
    4
  226. Thx Buddy 😀
    4
  227. thx Garnett... what is your channel? I'll look it up.
    4
  228. +Feik Cuenta Gracias por venir y gracias Dross
    4
  229. +Mohd Nizam Sazali good idea... 😆 ive actually done some tests for my next vid about it and i can rule that one out.
    4
  230. +Mohd Nizam Sazali ha... Yes . Actually isnt thay supposed to be heading for Mars!
    4
  231. No I don't and cool

  232. hey garnett thx for watxhing bud. Hope your keeping well. 👍

  233. yes

  234.  @actros_l8567  course bunnynis real... i dont know why he said that.
    4
  235. yeh we all luv a bit of drum and bass really...
    4
  236. thx your a bit mad like me tho!
    4
  237.  @greybeard4034  well thats good then😂👍
    4
  238. It'll work on bright objects like orion nebula and hercules cluster remeber not to use a zoomed in eyepiece. Wide angle is better😁
    4
  239. sounds like you've met him😂
    4
  240. Bunny splits opinions... Glad you like the pink one😃
    4
  241. yeh if I want to pay the mortgage that is def true... 😂
    4
  242. Tbh I hadn't forgotten about it... I just ignored it (mostly)
    4
  243. i too think the sct is the best all round scope...see end of this vid https://youtu.be/Na-aBhc_gTY but its more expensive and it doesn't quite sit at the wobbly atmosphere resolution limit like an 8 inch newt does... so for pure deep space astrophotography i think the 8 inch newt def hits a sweet spot.
    4
  244. yeh all said and done it prob took 3 months to make it, thx 👍
    4
  245. if you eat enough carrots....

  246. HI Garnet, (I took the mirror out before tossing it about !). I'm going to try and shoot the milky way with just a phone but then I think I'll leave budget astro for a while and try a few more general space astronomy vids . I've got loads of ideas but not enough time to do any of them.
    3
  247. yeh thats what I like to hear! I was born in kidderminster! Good luck and better hurry up as orion nebula is past its best...!
    3
  248. if your camera isn't modded the why not go for the Andromeda galaxy. Unmodded cameras work fine on Galaxies. If you get it it'll knock everyones socks off... its right above us now in the early evening (high targets  help  with the light pollution too although if you can get somewhere dark even better)
    3
  249. yes st80 is great for this. 30 seconds but if the stars look funny you may have to come down a bit. Don't forget to level the mount. GOOD LUCK!
    3
  250. I'm amazed you even got anything through double glazing. I think a lot of very cold astronomers will be very jealous!
    3
  251. i think nasa has been worrying about me showing up hubble so they quicky put the james webb up to give them a bit of a cushion.
    3
  252. Thx mate. Work is sooo busy at the moment I don't have time to make any more vids... But hopefully I'm gonna tKe a month off in June and blast a few out😃
    3
  253. well there's always the holidays🤣
    3
  254. I think i might actually be the living dead. I only come out at night and I'm pretty sure i married the blair witch😂
    3
  255. @Aditya Desai  ahh the secret is out : OK 20th july ;-) sozzas
    3
  256. tbh I wasn't very experienced when i made this vid but now i am I can say that I still don't use a bahtinov
    3
  257.  @will2see  Used a batinov mask last night with an 8 inch newt and I did find it useful. With other scopes I've found simply 400percent digital zoom on the computer and focusing by eye works well (in fact its more reliable than using the FWHW computer aided focusing routines like you find in sharp cap) but with the dodgy focuser on this particular newt the bat mask was a god sent. Not sure you should be using it for planetary tho. Damien peach doesn't use a BAT mask. FYI I am now better/ more experienced than most now but 3 years ago i wasn't.
    3
  258. hey bud, thank you so much. Really appreciate it
    3
  259. could do but you font need it when shooting straight up
    3
  260. Excellent 👍
    3
  261. thx hels... looking forward to heading up to your neck of the woods this autumn
    3
  262. it's just an app called skyview and a home built phone holder that just keeps the phone flush to the scope
    3
  263. @Juan Rial  lucky boy 🤣
    3
  264. Yeh they are cool aren't they. Lock down in london tonight but i might pop out onto the roof and see if i can spot a globular cluster
    3
  265. 🤣
    3
  266. cheers my friend🍺
    3
  267. Hope so
    3
  268. thx

  270. 🤣
    3
  271. algo como esto 😜 o 😵
    3
  272. i wasn't trying to be cool I just ended up with them and there all I had in the car... quite funny tho
    3
  273. I'll need to do another vid about that but stars are very useful blurometers and software checks them
    3
  274. Thx buddy, can't wait to do more... But gonna have to wait a bit as work is pretty full on🤔
    3
  275. Thx for helping make this happen
    3
  276. good man👍
    3
  277. well actually rik the sequel will be shot when we're in the canaries... in sept if we get the mo ey /so after that
    3
  278. Thx green jaw, i think i prob need to post a lot more vids...
    3
  279. You should
    3
  280. I want to set up on my very turkish street in London outsode the salisbury pub. Light pollution isn't a problem for the planets
    3
  281. i got sent the svbony to test... but yes I'm sure the tak will be fine once collimated
    3
  282. cheers fella
    3
  283. thx, yeh i was suprised. could just be i did more sharpening tho. either way its close
    3
  284. awesome I was worried about this one. thank you
    3
  285. Ah thx G, very kind😁and much appreciated.
    3
  286. thx bud (i'm an editor really)
    3
  287. cool. TBH my talent is editing, not astroing, not presenting, not being smart not anything else. I'm a good editor. Glad you spotted it.
    3
  288. 🤣
    3
  289. awe thx mate
    3
  290. +Blapi Darious hee hee. Only a little one this... You could watch it in an ad break🤣
    3
  291. very true especially if he's offered a carrot
    3
  292. ah thx mate... i think a lot of the biscuit followers aren't interested in this. its had a very low uptake so glad you liked it.
    3
  293. Ok but Jupiter is 15light minutes away and this exo system is 1000 light years away
    3
  294. actually surprisingly close... you'll see🤣
    3
  295. I think earth would be the best planet of the all
    3
  296. You better believe it bud. And I have reasons for it...
    3
  297. more coming soon
    3
  298. Im coming back😃 sept. (just doing a pig of a job at the mo)
    3
  299. sadly bunny was visiting his aunt...
    3
  300. 🤣I must admit I'd like to liven up the sky at night.
    3
  301. that made me laugh... clearly you must have been less than a whisker away from completion😂
    3
  302. interesting,
    3
  303. 🤣🤣🤣no I didn't know
    3
  304. Yeh 😭
    3
  305. Can't tell you how bad its been this winter🤤😂
    3
  306. hi I use the zwo asi 178m link halfway down this page https://www.astrobiscuit.com/best-all-round-telescope
    3
  307. yeh. shame he was awesome
    3
  308. ok, make that after Christmas...
    3
  309. im gonna cop a lot for that...
    3
  310. its got to exist. i was pleased when i found out that alien tv signals would be too weak to detect... so it meant they could be out there and we just haven't found them yet.
    3
  311. Yeh good idea... Need to find a good holder that people can buy as I made mine
    3
  312. cheers bud, thank you very much. I'm hoping the time and effort put in will allow us to poke our head above the crowd but we'll just have to wait and see if it works. 😉
    3
  313. It's the name of where the observatories are...
    3
  314. 😂
    3
  315. cool, im the editor btw... takes me bloomin ages😂
    3
  316. ha i remember running up to rik to say we were on 98... only 2 to go to get to 100🤣
    3
  317. Glad you enjoyed it!
    3
  318. yeh that'd be something huh
    3
  319. +cryo115 thx man... Rik normally sorts out my audio and was a bit miffed when i uploaded this quick one without his input... And here is the proof of the pudding! I hope he doesn't see this comment😂😂😂 thx for ringing that bell much appreciated.
    3
  320. 🤣
    3
  321. thx bud... i did work in a number of discoveey shows 🤣
    3
  322. true apart from when your lucky imaging. next video will look at this.
    3
  323. 🤣exactly and it was an interesting interview. Great shame.
    3
  324. too much information...😅
    3
  325. yeh... i feel that too
    3
  326. cool thx mate
    3
  327. Ohh true
    3
  328. yes its enough
    3
  329. We did and it is especially when it's cloudy but stars are still better as your focuser is in the correct position.
    3
  330. I'm actually trying to find out how to make enough money in order to make more docs... straight docs earn me nothing. Amateur Telescope docs earn me something through commissions but terrible weather meant I haven't gotten a telescope doc out for xmas so we have to make do with what we've got.
    3
  331.  @omulet29  is it a motorised eq6, if so you're laughing 😃
    3
  332.  @Riktenstein  new tunes😮 awesomeness... Astrobiscuit will recommence in July 😃
    3
  333. Yes you are right. Although I dithered my processing which helps a bit
    3
  334. +Hey Optims YT 2.03 xd thankyou and thankyou dross😁
    3
  335. thx mate much appreciated
    3
  336. 15x is quite high mag. You probably wont want to go more than a second anyway. I'm guessing you are using an iphone. Im afraid i don't know about iphones. There must be a way. I heard something about an iphone app called spiral cam which even stacks the shots😮 bortle 5 should be ok. Good luck
    3
  337. thx fella
    3
  338.  @bigbadwolf200335  yeh I was just being a err annoying...
    3
  339. +Sebastian Dittmann it was a c9.25 with a 2x barlow and a asi120mc clone called svbony t7 camera.
    3
  340. 😂
    3
  341. 😂 hope ricktenstein is catching this. thx fella
    3
  342. I mention the 72ed on my website https://www.astrobiscuit.com/easy-mobile-astrophotography I don't know the ixos mount but I suspect the two will work very well together
    3
  343. yeh i think its something to do with needing the wires to be slightly elastic
    3
  344. Astro pixel processor, then pixinsight, then affinity
    3
  345. Well i did get it insured lets just say that😂
    3
  346. One of the things I remember from talking to the scientists who made the Rosetta probe is that it's hard getting the data back from space... It's a long way from the phone network. You essentially need a number of radio telescopes dotted all over the globe as well as a powerful transmitter and a way if aligning the transmitter so it points to earth in the first place... All of this takes time to figure out and I guess Mr musk was concentrating on other things. Even so a 3d camera in space would be amazing...
    3
  347. yeh those old tasco scopes were made by vixen apparently...
    3
  348. cheers bud, I did spend far too long making this
    3
  349. +THE ALL ROUNDER Cool Man man thx for watching it 1000... Oh wait hang on!.🤣..hope your good😜
    3
  350. i used to work for Discovery
    3
  351. Ah thx mate, canary video just dropped😁
    3
  352. 🤣
    3
  353. Are you sure... That clip came from archive material...
    3
  354. Cool😁. The app is called intervalometer. You will need to keep your exposures short bc you are more zoomed in. Prob about 0.5 secs at the widest x 20 setting. And good luck 😃
    3
  355. i think it was the mirror guy 😆
    3
  356. except that this is dim deep space rather than bright planetary which modern cameras are just begining to make a possibility...
    3
  357. +Jan Peter Jansen hi jan... Yes it is a fan. Just a cheap computer fan. It reduces the temperature on the sensor by about 10c. The camera isn't actively cooled by a peltier cooler - that is much harder to do and i actually killed this camera by trying to fit a peltier cooler🤣... And yes the camera is modified which i did myself. There is a good youtube video about it. Ill try and dig it out
    3
  358. thx for your support martin
    3
  359. Martin Pyott I’ve subscribed 😜
    3
  360. yes it was sorted in the end... thx
    3
  361. AHH mate it's a slippery slope😂
    3
  362. Thx mate😁
    3
  363. i do feel slightly ashamed that its just a bog standard video but it does what it says on the tin so hopefully few complaints
    3
  364. yes you are honoured🤣 occasionally he talks to me
    3
  365. tal
    3
  366. thx bud
    3
  367. could do with you om the big amateur telescope? you coming?
    3
  368. good luck if you need help then the astrobiscuit ask a nerd channel is gr8 for fast advice from my community
    3
  369. I might get it finished tomorrow ... If not itll be next weekend 😀
    3
  370. Yeh sure did you see my cool space pics with a phone and binoculars vid?
    3
  371. you know your stuff thx... biggest problem is the ra and dec won't lock.
    3
  372. Rik did it with some help from AI
    3
  373. i have a plan... fingers crossed it works🤣
    3
  374. thx funny valentine ;-)
    3
  375. Yes. True. I should have got out my tape measure b4 hitting record
    3
  376. Thx craig. New vid out in the morning! 😊
    3
  377. thx marcus😄
    3
  378. Hmmmn. Have you performed the alignment routine? Have you told it that its summer time and the hour has gone forward? Did you use a spirit level to get the mount perfectly flat?
    3
  379. cheers bud👍
    3
  380. no i used an old 6mm orthoscopic... the kit eyepieces are not bad... exceot for the first scope - those are terrible. 🤣
    3
  381. oh no OK thx will change now👍
    3
  382. Intervalometer by mobile photon for android
    3
  383. Leandra you've gotta do it. Grind out those mirrors like John dobson did in the monestary !
    3
  384. Do you want to do a collab? Goodness knows when😆
    3
  385. Workin for a year 6 day weeks. No time for biscuityness🤥
    3
  386. yeh good question, was it a live tv feed or was it all faked🙄 FYI I don't think it was faked but I still think thats a good question
    3
  387. +Michael Justice id love to get a comet... I've never done it although i have a set up that could work very nicely. Prob is so much to do and so little time but if i can get on dartmoor in a couple of weekends time ill try and get it.
    3
  388. making science TV shows mostly for discovery😜
    3
  389. join up to Google earth studio
    3
  390. iys actually pretty straightforward on skywatcher mounts. must be a yt vid about it. look up skywatcher worm gear adjustment
    3
  391. calex64 hopefully tomorrow 🙃
    3
  392. much appreciated mate thank you
    3
  393. thx bud, funny comment about coronavirus... and yes I've been laid off so actually more vids coming.
    3
  394. 🤣🤣🤣... Thx for that craig. Very helpful😅
    3
  395. 😂😂😂😂 to be fair the chap just used it for planetary and visual
    3
  396. Riktenstien called that track "drum and space"😅
    3
  397.  @Wigalot  cool. fingers crossed. If the skies clear I'm gonna make the next one "Can you see volcanoes on the Moon" A lot of cool space stuff - particularly apollo 17 and also a real challenge to get Ina (a relatively recent eruption) with my big newt from the roof.
    3
  398. Thx mate... I'll pass on your regards to the pink one
    3
  399. yeh... true. The complete asto set up video would be about an hour long! Good suggestion. i did something a bit similar for my first video... although it wasn't mono or an eq mount. I'm thinking about making a mega cheap set up with a my old phone. I want to take the lens out of the phone and just use the phone's bare sensor with a fast projector lens.
    3
  400. light pollution doesn't make any difference to the moon or planets..
    3
  401. yep
    3
  402. 🤣genius
    3
  403. he hee thx
    3
  404. 😁
    3
  405. saludos🙏👍
    3
  406. yeh thats everyone's favourite bit (except mine😂)
    3
  407. Yes I agree ... Just a question of funds and time
    3
  408. brother👍
    3
  409. Yes i guess but if you make money from my videos then you will have to share. I'm trying to find a way to make enough money so i can give up my job and make more videos.
    3
  410. Sounds great. I will try and make a vid about cheap good new equipment. Thx Rory
    3
  411. no i dont
    3
  412. thx my friend this vid needs all the help it can get
    3
  413. Its on the cards but work prevented me in spring and unfortunately the skies are too light in the UK over the summer... but soon. The rematch will also reveal PLAN B if you remember me mentioning that in the first one.
    3
  414. its a luton astrosystems f6. 3 10incher made in the 80s
    3
  415.  @tooswoos  well ive neither had the time to go nor recieved the carbon fiber tripod from China
    3
  416.  @martin_meme3100  I'm working on it... Might have bitten off more than i can chew... Trying to make a complete professional astro set up for just 600quid... And its not proving easy😬
    3
  417.  @AstroForumSpace  its an option
    3
  418. I will check but I think it was Andrei Botnari's
    3
  419. awesome. job done. 😁
    3
  420. Awe thx bud
    3
  421. very true sir

  422. glad you liked it!

  423. Alrigjt i will give it a go😅
    2
  424. +Uk2014Ch glad you enjoyed it
    2
  425. Don't worry... Good luck with the learning
    2
  426. thanking you most kindly
    2
  427.  @SOGNAMETAL  Much appreciated bud. I do worry that it won't work out bc it takes me too long to make each video but I guess we will find out!
    2
  428. Wait and see😜
    2
  429. yeh you do. jealous
    2
  430. praise indeed
    2
  431. ahh thx mate. I def need to get one set up bc I've taken out a loan with a view to one day making a living doing this... problem is these videos take quite a while to make. What kind of Patreon set up do you think would work for my audience?
    2
  432. 😂
    2
  433. Yeh i did it in an old version of aftereffects by adobe. Im not very good at it so it took a while 😜
    2
  434. yeh you can't average out the noise if the noise is exactly the same on each picture.
    2
  435. Good name 🤣
    2
  436. through a window!!!! wow. Never heard of anyone managing that before ... nice one!  I think you should show you're results on some facebook groups + mention that you did it through a window! I'm astrobiscuit on FB + I can recommend you to a few groups. And well done spending the time to get focus... I think it took me longer than an hour the first time I did it!
    2
  437. 😂
    2
  438. yes, i thought Yorkshire too...
    2
  439. you don't need 150x zoom to see orion nebula... a fat telescope at about 20 x zoom would be better
    2
  440. i put a ball head ontop of the tripod to get a bit of extra height and angle the binos... its not perfect tho. there are expensive dedicated bino tripods and im trying to figure out a cheaper way of replicating them.
    2
  441. I shot the images through my telescope. Of course.
    2
  442. Oh yeah 😃 but be quick saturn has nearly gone.
    2
  443. thanks for watching... (although i suspect you only watched the beginning) If not please tell us what you thought of the final result?
    2
  444. to be honest the bracket wasn't great but then I haven't found one that is great. I'll have a look
    2
  445. yeh if i knew the answer to that... life would be much easier
    2
  446. Exactly
    2
  447. thx😁it was the little tak 60mm with an old borg super reducer which is no longer made.
    2
  448. they do the whole presenter is the voice of God thing rather than the presenter ia a bit of an idiot thing🤣 which is more relatable maybe😂
    2
  449. +Harbinger well spotted😃
    2
  450. Better out than in😂
    2
  451. +ice cream clearly we think alike😃
    2
  452. onbehalf of the bats thx mate
    2
  453. i use an old volcano top orthoscopic eyepiece cost about £30 second hand def worth it... but the possl aint to bad that came with it... should see banding with that... was your 70 a short tube one?
    2
  454. thank you just done it ;-)
    2
  455. For deep space yeh unless you have a massive telescope, for planets I think live is way more satisfying
    2
  456. i've heard mixed reports... is yours good?
    2
  457. thx bud😁
    2
  458. then they need to look here: https://www.astrobiscuit.com/top-telescope-picks
    2
  459. X7😃
    2
  460.  @JinxKapali  15x is harder. Andromeda is bigger than the moon so you don't need to worry too much about magnification. You just need to collect as many photons as you can. So less zoomed often means more photons collected from a wider area. Also the more you zoom in the shorter your Exposure time because of the earth rotating. Sorry 15x is much harder... But if you manage it it'll look great. 😁
    2
  461. yeh travel scope should be amazing... fingers crossed we get it finished
    2
  462. Yes that is a fair point
    2
  463. +Mike 0891 yay! I knew i was gonna be someone!😂
    2
  464. noooo... 😂
    2
  465. I'm using it in another video I'm afraid.
    2
  466. i think your confused with globilar glusters that orbit our galaxy and star clusters in another galaxy, we're going for the later, they are pretty dim.
    2
  467. yes I agree on one level but what about the supernova going pop every few years like they do in a starburst glaaxy, it'd be like a cosmic game of russian roulette
    2
  468. if i have time, I'm pretty sure it was military helicopters tbh
    2
  469. have you seen my website. I've got a feeling the celestron travel scope is poorer quality than the Meade or the skywatcher st80 www.astrobiscuit.com check out the budget section
    2
  470. Hope you like it(this is quite a shirt one)
    2
  471. i know,
    2
  472. Thx ravi

  475. ah man clearly you've not seen him when he's drunk...
    2
  476. You've probably expanded a bit in all those years🤣
    2
  477. thx jasper. I am getting a lot of nice comments. hopefully I can find out soon😄
    2
  478. actually i had an idea to make a series of videos called "measuring the universe from my roof". the idea was to see how much stuff i could measure by myself with just an ordinary telescope and other easy to aquire things. diameter of the earth; distance to jupiter; distance to a star; etc... just need to win the lottery then i can give up work and do it😃
    2
  479. Yes I am... In fact we're selling parts now
    2
  480. lets go for a pint then👍
    2
  481. Thx for playing 😀
    2
  482. ... i actually cant believe that slipped thru... doh
    2
  483. I shoot raw in pro mode on my android device and i use an app called "intervalometer" by mobilephoton
    2
  484. errr... 'just poetic licence' (obviously i can't tell you he's real or id be locked up (but he is-shhhh).
    2
  485. How dare you ray, I am a nerd who just happens to be a good editor
    2
  486. please don't tell him he'll go on and on about it🤣
    2
  487. Ohhh
    2
  488. well the size is different and i think my lttle sensir has lower read noise but those sensors are great
    2
  489. yup mrs biscuit cringed so much when she saw it
    2
  490. If you shoot galaxies, star clusters, globular clusters and reflection nebula you don't need to modify
    2
  491. Yes perfect😀
    2
  492. it hasn't 😀
    2
  493. optically flat windows cost more than the scope itself but they are quite good i think and help with thermals as well as diffraction spikes....
    2
  494. Well I did it manually in the end. I actually now never use a motor focuser. I suppose the idea is that the planet doesn't wobble while focusing with a motorised focuser.
    2
  495. Omelette, mmm good😁
    2
  496. Hi chile one day i will visit😜
    2
  497. intervalometer by mobile photon which simply triggers the android photo app s pro mode
    2
  498. yeh i think its a good one... a long thin newt yeh... but ive not tried it personally
    2
  499. Thx bud
    2
  500. it has a dovetail that means it can fit on any mount with a standard vixen dovetail clamp. sorry you got no joy on discord🙄
    2
  501. yeh... doh
    2
  502. 🤣
    2
  503. thx tom
    2
  504. And in the summer it never even gets dark... We are bonkers😜
    2
  505. Rik'll tell you... Its one of his. Bandcamp link to his music below.
    2
  506. thx for binging!
    2
  507. Be interested to find out how it does. It is possible that it would be brilliant... Does it have two lenses. Hopefully just one camera is used at a time.
    2
  508. sorry
    2
  509. You can press the notify me button if you want
    2
  510. perfect😂
    2
  511. 😂
    2
  512. Hmmm tricky... Mrs biscuit got me my first scope and she assumed it was a passing fad... She says my astro obsession is better that my now defunct gaming obsession
    2
  513. @hope I hear you and so do many others👍 hopes you likes it
    2
  514. buzz was right... if its the long 114mm next then its worth alooking at the moon and juoiter with it... might need to check collimation... ask a nerd if not sure how to do it https://www.astrobiscuit.com/ask-a-nerd
    2
  515. It's being proper pants
    2
  516. no but it looks quite good...
    2
  517. how did you know?
    2
  518. +Fient HSU i'd like to but am very busy at work till spring.
    2
  519. the cold might make the balloon's rubber skin more brittle and maybe more likely to burst
    2
  520. thx wes😆
    2
  521. 🤣
    2
  522. im not really on fb anymore, messaging me in the discord server is your best bet at the moment
    2
  523. 😀tbh I don't think they can promote no establishment ideas.
    2
  524. +B&K Bees hee hee thx😆
    2
  525. +-Dieguin Mero- thx brother. Take care.
    2
  526. welcome to my world😂
    2
  527. that'd be nice but at least this vid has taken off (compared with my other anyway!)
    2
  528. no they are good and fast although in my experience slightly less sharp than a good telescope.
    2
  529. thx bud
    2
  530. when I asked for a telescope five( or was it six?) years ago my wife thought I'd look at it once and never use it again...
    2
  531. No problem🤣 I wish my kids thought I was awesome
    2
  532. is it possible your trillion has less zeros in it that my trillion? otherswise honest mistake, apologies.
    2
  533. I appreciate that probably sounds a bit mean... but you know, never compliment a mate. that's a golden rule.
    2
  534. yeh it needed to have been a 12 hour video!
    2
  535. sounds awesome
    2
  536. you're best off getting a good quality barlow and increasing the spacing between barlow and sensor to increase the magnification. obvs if you have the money the 5x televue is good. I actually owned a 4x barlow produced in UK but it wasn't great.
    2
  537. Merci😜
    2
  538. wow i didnt know thx for telling me. the link you have works
    2
  539. i used an f6 last night without a coma corrector abnd with a small ish sensor asi585 and it worked very well
    2
  540. ahh good ol kitty😁
    2
  541. yeh it makes a difference for sure. The eyepieces that come with the scope in general are ok, my old 6mm orthoscopic eyepiece is noticably sharper and costs about £30 second hand. New ones are about £60.
    2
  542. Actually you can't take them on planes (and at £500 I also couldn't afford one) I bought a car battery the next day for 60euros.
    2
  543. Yep, I kno now
    2
  544. you are, sorry I ran out of time and couldn't download your footage and ingest it, I was up till very late finishing the video off and the computer crashed etc so I popped in some challe footage instead but hey next time.
    2
  545. what is your discord name sir?
    2
  546. Thx martin for the encouragement. I'm going to try and put out more shorter one, one every week and we'll see if that makes a difference. .. And yes ill mention A4B... It was after all one of the first facebook groups i posted on.
    2
  547. yes i actually agree with you
    2
  548. I don't think I flipped them back... Can't remember it was a while ago
    2
  549. +Riktenstein yeh no one likes a smart arse riktenstein🤣 fyi the wind was only 2mph that night which means it must have risen from around croydon and there wasn't a featival in croydon that night.
    2
  550. +Riktenstein is it? I'm going. See you there. Actually i owe you a pint dont i , the one i promised you for all your work if we hit 1000 subs.
    2
  551. Hi Jeff 😀thx
    2
  552. Cheers Luuk I hope @riktenstein reads this
    2
  553. 6 inch dob
    2
  554. hey fella hows the rasa doing... I'd like to feature it in a video about imaging from the city at some point.
    2
  555. I think it is probably a great scope. I thought about getting one. I think you night want to check how your stars look on the edges of the frame bc you might need a flattener (personally I would go for a reducer/flattener). I think you have a nice light set up. For longer exposures you will want a mini guide scope and guidin the RA but until then stick see what you can get away with. With good polar alignment I reckon 30 sec exposure but maybe more, lets see
    2
  556. well i don't agree but clearly lots of my subscribers do this is my worse performing video by far.
    2
  557. Yes it is
    2
  558. we play the cards we're dealt. Bet you feel bad now eh😂
    2
  559. Happy new year https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?id=OGC.c0129b25ac6ec5cafc92eebe0574472d&pid=Api&rurl=https%3a%2f%2fmedia.giphy.com%2fmedia%2fNEpTMzEQ6pYPu%2fgiphy.gif&ehk=VD1GsJ0vuyS8oUsIG4ifDgAELC3I95KXVGRwatJEJwk%3d
    2
  560. Yes, hindsight is a wonderful thing
    2
  561. it was a lens tripod mount... can't remember which one exactly. I have a few...
    2
  562. true but that's another vid https://youtu.be/j2LTw5HLAYU
    2
  563. 🤣
    2
  564. 🤣
    2
  565. ​ @neiltonks  i only joined patreon yesterday because I'm only just going full time. Thanks for looking out for me
    2
  566. thx for getting in touch. The amazon links failed yesterday so i had to remove them. You won't have been charged.if you used them. You can email me on rorymultistorey@gmail.co.uk if you want to follow up on this.
    2
  567. yeh i think nebula in deep space is better. but then of course i would
    2
  568. 150mm diameter and 1200mm focal length
    2
  569. he likes the camberwell carrot shaped ones🤣
    2
  570. Oh-bunny-wan-kanobunny
    2
  571. His email address is a nightmare😁😂
    2
  572. my knees were wobbly
    2
  573.  @judybooty77  keep looking over months... ther is a £50 newt on astro buy and sell right now
    2
  574. 🤣🤣ok yes and thanks... I didn't know his penis could talk🤣
    2
  575. I've changed the thumbnail ;-)
    2
  576. here is my page about it. https://astrobiscuit.com/cheap-and-easy-astrophotography/ in a sense any lens will do if you have an astrotracker. the samyang135 is about as zoomed in as you want to go with these little trackers. More zoomed in than that and pointing becomes progrssi ely harder and you end up needing the computer controlled gti mount which is more of a faff
    2
  577. true... or a 20$ lithium jump starter
    2
  578. Tried posting on cloudy nights... But didn't seem to go down too well. I think they'd prefer something a bit more serious. I'm guessing its an older crowd.
    2
  579. it would make a nice change🤣
    2
  580. yes... fyi the focus could be more about the wind on the roof as compared to my balcony... and also my better post processing.
    2
  581. 🤣
    2
  582. So did Rik😁🤣
    2
  583. 😂
    2
  584. me too! various bits of bad luck have gotten in the way of doing it.
    2
  585. Having listened to the moon landing deniers theories,I currently believe they are even bigger dumbarses than the flat earthers🤣
    2
  586. well not just you... its something ive been strugglong with for years and niw i feel like i have a good understanding i thought I'd make the video.
    2
  587. Errr don't think so
    2
  588. Guys not at perigee or is it apogee 🤣
    2
  589. no just a few weeks https://youtu.be/ms5gErdFT-o
    2
  590. thx Mauritis... I don't but I'm going to try and affiliate with astroshop very soon. ( i need as many commissions as I can get at the moment!)
    2
  591. yeh... next time tho to be fair many of them did do regular imaging to help with the final image
    2
  592. we aimed for 30 nights with a 30min slot each night but actually the weather was bad and we were clouded out for 10 nights
    2
  593. I peer into the googleverse
    2
  594. yup, just screened the full video to the mrs and kids and they say its a bit long so chopping it down and posting it next week.
    2
  595. omg mate you are so nice. And tis very much needed at the moment so thank you. ❤️
    2
  596. Wish i met you 3 months ago😜
    2
  597. 🤣
    2
  598. They pay me well
    2
  599. thx bud
    2
  600. I quoted his exact email in the show. When I sent him the transcript I did make a mistake on the first sentence. I then pointed out that we don't speak in grammatically correct sentences but in the end I decided not to push it as he is a genius and I am not. I do hope to contact him in the future and request to release the full unedited version of the interview. tbh I was absolutely gutted and it took a weekend to get over it. Also you'll find everything I say about him in this doc is already in his published papers. I have pushed the pixel metaphor much further than he would. I don't think he would subscribe to the virtual reality headset idea as I think he believes space fundamental. Although I think all physicist agree reality is not necessarily what we see around us to some degree.
    2
  601. thx for the offer dude but the bat is really struggling at the moment due to terrible weather mostly... so we've not got tons of data to process atthe moment.
    2
  602. 😂
    2
  603. Very good. Or at least very high in the atmosphere... 😊
    2
  604. don't be fooled by her on screen persona🤣🤣🤣
    2
  605. wow i will look into this now. 0.9x skywatcher coma corrector.
    2
  606. looks fantastic... I could learn a lot from your work
    2
  607. thx bud👍
    2
  608. No hay problema
    2
  609. Well she thinks my astro obsession is better than my now abandoned gaming obsession
    2
  610. I've actually just ordered some 20x80s. I think they might be deep space heros
    2
  611. Uh oh... You Might be one of us. Welcome to geekdom.
    2
  612. +Astro Pics UK 😆yer baby😅😂🤣
    2
  613. thx for your purchase😁
    2
  614. My mate Riktenstien does the music and the audio. He will be pleased as audio makes the show but often goes unoticed 😀thx for the comments
    2
  615. AHH thx
    2
  616. thx for sticking with it👍
    2
  617. steady
    2
  618. the very pale blue dusty patch of million year old cooled lava.... whichnlooks very blue when you up the saturation🤣
    2
  619. the geologists do call that current... for them a million years isnt a long time... and they do day its possible the moon will erupt again... although itd be more of an oooze than an eruption😁
    2
  620. aye, its a solid beast
    2
  621. Kitt peak claims 0,7 and that is the observatory Betty was built to take on only it's far cheaper for me to fly to canaries. I couldn't find data for the average seeing on Tenerife so it was a genuine surprise. Also I'm sound man, cameraman, producer, fixer editor, presenter all at the same time and the folks who help me help me for free so I am in no position to make demands on their time. I think I did good and I think you are a ...
    2
  622. sorry i uploaded the video to patreon so there is no easy way but if lots of folks request the same thing then I'll try and sort something out...
    2
  623. thx again buddy 🍻
    2
  624. Yeh I need to do a deep dive into that one
    2
  625. Hi
    2
  626. Yeh me too
    2
  627. I keep hoping but the weather is so bad right bow
    2
  628. planets yes.. deep space is harder but not impossible
    2
  629. Please can you lobby airlines to allow me to take said bank to la Palma
    2
  630. unfortunately it aint blowing up...
    2
  631. Intervalometer by mobile photon works with any android's native camera app
    2
  632. I think everyone is ordering. you might just have to buy one and wait or go second hand. try astro buy and sell.
    2
  633. Happy Christmas 🎄
    2
  634. I think us tubers should really push the toilet astronomy angle more... Its been neglected🤔
    2
  635. life is tough at the moment but hang in there
    2
  636. its actually much better because short exposures work much better away from light pollution
    2
  637. on my website are w shots of what it managed in dark skies https://www.astrobiscuit.com/roboscope
    2
  638. thx Ryan I do think if I made a tutorial vid it would be a bit dull but I will try it at some point
    2
  639. Ah lucky I did
    2
  640. yes but in a computer program that drives the game the distance of 6 inches doesn't exist. it's just a line or two of code. I'm not saying 6 inches doesn't exist for the beings who live inside the computer game. it's just that at the bottom level inside the code of the computer program 6 inches doesn't exist... 😂
    2
  641. ha part ii coming as soon as I get a decent clear night
    2
  642. yes please and ask him if he wants to zoom at some point too...
    2
  643. look like him apparently
    2
  644. Oh no go to sleep surely.
    2
  645. She's got 3 viens
    2
  646. good, im glad
    2
  647. Cool... I recommend the skywatcher 72ed on my website or the redcat
    2
  648. Yes you are right but ... I can't take a battery on a plane, I can't afford to hire a big 4x4 and I only decided to go to la Palma 12 hours before I went having had about 3hrs sleep.
    2
  649. yes it was
    2
  650. I wish i knew that earlier😅😅 i did have to update the firmware... Still its good when it works but the backlash in the dec was the real killer and mafe calibrating phd tuff
    2
  651. either the qhy 268 or zwo 2600 or possibly the altair astro with the same chip
    2
  652. I think the 10inch f3.9 is good. Depends what you want to do with it. I have a 10inch f6 which should be a bit sharper because of the smaller secondary but its also much longer and a pain in the butt to move around
    2
  653. it doesn't gather blue light but is way sharper...
    2
  654. thx astrum😀
    2
  655. +GlentoranMark thx mate. When i get a chance... I'll look at this.
    2
  656. It was bad at the beginning
    2
  657. yes what is the question ;-)
    2
  658. thx bud, much appreciated. i encourage everyone to become a patreon member too🤣
    2
  659. Good thoughts. I think you may have cracked it😃
    2
  660. Not that I know
    2
  661. Ha! yes you have all you need. and thx for the hair comment. A lot of the budget went on professional hair gel!
    2
  662. 🤣🤣🤣cheers bud happy Christmas and much appreciated
    2
  663. Hi nan
    2
  664. ha tbh getting away from light pollution makes any shot 100x better
    2
  665. Asi294mc and it was hooked to my laptop
    2
  666. its hard to do today but if you keep looking over months then one turns up... in the uk anyways
    2
  667. well mrs biscuit now wants to come to the canaries (bc of the alloniums) so there is hope for every marriage.
    2
  668. rs pupis by nubble a variable nebula I think the big amateur telescope will be able to get somethign similar
    2
  669. thx bud very much appreciated
    2
  670. Settings in autostakkert can be a pain. But if the planet is completely in the frame it normally works with the right settings. Is your shot a lot more wobbly than mine?
    2
  671. Orion did include price of dslr but jupiter one didn't 😜 and yes this time it does
    2
  672. true but it would have to be hovering which it could be... another thing is that the atmosphere is distorting the dot which suggests the object is far away... having said that I think your idea is a good one and entirely possible
    2
  673. +lenny lewis colours are wierd and only exist bc we have red, green and blue detectors in our eyes. yellow wavelegths stimulate both our red and green detectors which is why it looks yellow but its still a slighly shorter wavelenght than pure red and slighly longer than pure green.
    2
  674. visionary HD I now have nicer opticron 7x50s
    2
  675. ow wow... is it possibly a meteor as i think if an actual star exploded it would last for months...
    2
  676.  @armandocastellanos6871  it could have been a rotating satellite that haooened to catch the sun at the right angle... this happens quite often just after sunset...
    2
  677. Well maybe but it seems like where you apply the rules is random and that makes a difference to the outcome... its very much like quantum mechanics still has a hand
    2
  678. I think you need to follow the link to the wolfram physics project and jump in😁
    2
  679. The thing is he's answering questions to help me with my 100£ mission.Later I bought an orion 150mm f8 newtonian for £25 which he though was an absolute bargain. I know Damian rates the SCT's if your budget is a little higher.
    2
  680. Its the same field of view so I'm afraid your maths is wrong. Imagine how much I'd have to Barlow Betty up to get the same field of view .. Betty was at like f40 or something. You do the maths
    2
  681. new vid out soon... its a big one
    2
  682. yeh they said it before jwst...
    2
  683. Cheers Bob, this is my fav video but it hasn't rated very well
    2
  684. thx bud
    2
  685. much appreciated fella
    2
  686. You are right. I'd be better off with a bigger telescope but every little helps. if the seeing on kitt peak is worse then it'll be easier to beat kitt peak than the smaller telescopes on Tenerife.
    2
  687. Unfortunately not... If i put the adds on i'm getting about £30 a month. Which is a shame cos id love to do this full time. But the channel is growing. One day... Maybe. 😉
    2
  688. yeh i wonder this too, my guess is the varations are drowned out by others stars
    2
  689. i didn't get any as its been terrrible weather... all autumn, hence video about discord😰
    2
  690.  @shiniforever  https://www.instagram.com/astrobiscuit/ or https://www.facebook.com/astrobiscuit
    2
  691. i takes time to edit
    2
  692. 😂
    2
  693. Awesome, glad to hear it
    2
  694. Interesting
    2
  695. aye
    2
  696. cool, whats your discord name?
    2
  697. this is true😂
    2
  698. thx Blapi Hope you don't mind me poking fun... I thought it was from the bedroom window? and apologies for the wrong geographical location. Oh well. not good from the biscuit man.
    2
  699. Yes I can't drop it before then, you'll see why when the vid does drop.
    2
  700. sounds like you've made a good choice. I think big binos might be the best for DSO like you say. just ordered some 20x80 s but they won't arrive for ages as they've sold out
    2
  701. Rik you better bring ypur banjo
    2
  702. It takes me 6 weeks to edit these videos and YouTube pays me about $1k... You do the math
    2
  703. intervalometer by mobile photon
    2
  704. It's BC I have to explain the idea in one sentence the truth is more complicated but the general idea is right.
    2
  705. have you thought about asking my disord community?
    2
  706. baader cleaning fluid works very well even on mirrors
    2
  707. I think they wanted to big up the benefits of their LRO orbiter... and to be fair you can't see the imf's very well from earth🤣
    2
  708. great thx bud

  709. I actually messed up pretty bad with my camera. I downloaded the pictures onto the cameras internal memory and later found out when taking darks that i could have avoided a whole bunch of amp glow if i had downloaded direct onto my computer. Good set up btw
    2
  710. So the best was with a sigma art 50mm lens and a zwo asi 294 camera
    2
  711. I wish I were a millionaire too🤣
    2
  712. I made it with a phone case cover and some wood and an t thread ring adapter.gluwd into the wood
    2
  713. Good thoughts
    2
  714. amen
    2
  715. Yeh .. 7 people have pointed that out🤣 my defense is that night it was at apogee
    2
  716. yeh it should. there are some cameras for planetary halfway down this page. I use the 178m https://www.astrobiscuit.com/best-all-round-telescope
    2
  717. hmmmn I was thinking about exactly that but now this ones flying I'm not sure. For the record I wanted to do one called " the answer to life the universe and everything."
    2
  718. me too
    2
  719. i would have lost focus 🤣 i think they were helicopters but at the time i was very worried.
    2
  720. ummn 6?
    2
  721. I've set it up so that it will ship to Oz but it costs more... Hopefully I set it up right
    2
  722. Indeed it was
    2
  723. Cheers chef, got another uploading tomorrow
    2
  724. awww thx mate, hopefully you won't make the same mistakes I do!
    2
  725. cool thx😜
    2
  726. first my tak fs60 and then a borg 60ed
    2
  727. Yeh i liked that one.
    2
  728. Grimaldi... Such a good name.
    2
  729. Nope... Love to tho
    2
  730. 😜
    2
  731. Well truth is deep sky viewing requires a big scope apart from andromeda and orion... Unless you like star clusters... 8inch dob would be the cheapest for both.
    2
  732. https://www.astrobiscuit.com/top-telescope-picks
    2
  733. Yeh it'll be great on Mars
    2
  734. Hi andy... What scope to buy, good idea. And please get intouch with me on fb and I'll intoduce you to some groups . Eberyone is super friendly. My fb page is called astrobiscuit 😁
    2
  735. 😁
    2
  736. good man... still I think the other channels are very useful for people who want to try it out bc they have more details. My shows are aimed at wetting your appitite
    2
  737. was rich🤣
    2
  738. nerd vs nerd baby
    2
  739. Well the mirror was 300, and the Focuser was 250 and the rest was cheap(but not cheap in time spent). I think you can buy a similar newt for about £1.5k
    2
  740. https://www.astrobiscuit.com/top-telescope-picks
    2
  741. actually i think i gave you the wrong link🤣https://www.astrobiscuit.com/best-budget-telescope
    2
  742. Yes will do but had a little set back... Dropped the tele vue😢
    2
  743.  @Spelunk1968  now I've gotta Learn to recolimate it ug
    2
  744. cheers buddy
    2
  745. thx Fella much appreciated... I will look out for some flares!!! 70's is a cool look huh.
    2
  746. Well they are getting further away now so they will be smaller. If its too bright you could try filters or even shades. I use an old 5mm orthoscopic eyepiece which is crisp. Also if the atmosphere is not calm it won't look good. you should still be able to get the rings and moons tho
    2
  747. it's a tricky one bc my scope is a celestron but they stopped selling it and other companies carried on selling the same scope with a different badge. I think that yours has a plastic focuser... it might be that the glass is the same. is yours 70 or 80mm?
    2
  748. did you see the video? i thought the idea of long distance space flight was explained mind blowingly well.
    2
  749. i always take 2 months 'off'
    2
  750. sounds really cool. I had a takamur lens once... gave it away annoyingly
    2
  751. Well it was very cheap... so I wasn't shafted. it has terrible backlash which is common in this particular brand
    2
  752. yeh 🤣 Im not sure hes actually a royal tho...
    2
  753. yeh baby
    2
  754. wow... that is suprising. i feel you must be a true nerd at heart. 🤣
    2
  755. You know i was looking forward to corona putting me out of work so i could do sone biscuiting but annoyingly having a edit suit at home means I'm now in demand. Doh🤔
    2
  756. only by checking an app which tells me!
    2
  757. im getting a small mount...
    2
  758. Ahh mate thank you😁
    2
  759. yeh baby😁
    2
  760. Good job but did you use a camera, a telescope an eyepiece and a camera lens? Better off just using the camera and the telescope. If you need higher magnification buy a barlow... The modern cheap barlows are actually quite good. less glass = crisper picture
    2
  761. cheers cody
    2
  762. I use astronomiser
    2
  763. I said Tenerife...
    2
  764. 😂😂😂 I love your confidence and how you can't possibly be right🤣🤣🤣
    2
  765. It's a riktenstein special...@riktenstein you there?
    2
  766. Well id try and get a satellite
    2
  767. Mr gonads I agree👍
    2
  768. X8
    2
  769. thx Aditya, much apreciated
    2
  770. +Steven Foley actually that is a great call
    2
  771. possibly not but i also took 60s exposures to get some of the fainter bits and 30s x2 binned rgb
    2
  772.  @torbjrngeorgsen5985  thx mate... really appreciate it. hopefully when the eye of the algorithm takes another look at the views and rewatches and watchtime it'll do its thing. 👍👍👍👍
    2
  773.  @karlhalliday5426  cheers Karl... good to know the subject didn't put you off too much
    2
  774. thx joseph!
    2
  775. Thx luuk😁 yeh i must make a simple how to choose equipment videow... Anyway im in a restaurant and mrs buscuit has told me to het off the phone so ill answer soon😂
    2
  776. I was scared at teh time. I think tho that it was military helicopters who thought my scope was a rocket launcher pointing into the flight path of planes landing at stanstead!
    2
  777. all i can tell you is tha according to my girls I'm an absolute idiot
    2
  778. follow the pink rabbit🤣he's in the show
    2
  779. hmmm let me look into it...
    2
  780. ok camera seems great, lens seems pretty good too considering its got such a long zoom. I think this is a good choice for taking your first steps (and upgrading as you get the hang of it). So the next big question is what mount are you gonna use to counteract the rotation of the earth. My recommendation would be skywatcher star adventurer. ;-)
    2
  781. You can get nice cheaper scopes too...https://astrobiscuit.com/best-budget-telescope/
    2
  782. batinov masks are great... I've only just realised how great they are. And store your telescope inside to avoid everything you said
    2
  783. Yeh I did it but it could have gone either way
    2
  784. Yep. I was lucky. Over a 1/4 million activations and i think the dealer thought it wouldn't last much longer.
    2
  785. Yeh it does
    2
  786.  @jenslankamp6433  good luck fella. Its a frustrating hobby but bagging your first dso is gr8. The first time is always the sweetest 😆
    2
  787. yes😁
    2
  788. Mars will be great this year with the224... My fav is the 178mm bc it's good for moon and sun too. Links on my website
    2
  789. Thx man, I have to say I like astro backyard tho I don't watch all his vids. I think he's done a great job bringing this bonkers hobby to lots of people...
    2
  790. +Adam SMITH oh phew... I didnt know if it was any good and you are the first to respond so thx😂
    2
  791. cheers bud, thank you very much. I'm hoping the time and effort put in will allow us to poke our head above the crowd but we'll just have to wait and see if it works. 😉
    2
  792. cheers bud, thank you very much. I'm hoping the time and effort put in will allow us to poke our head above the crowd but we'll just have to wait and see if it works. 😉

  795. I actually use gimp which is free😀 but a pain to learn like ps
    2
  796. I'll look into that, thx mate.
    2
  797. thx buddy
    2
  798. You need more 🥕
    2
  799. xheers Patrick, got a few ozzies on the discors server, although not from brisbane. thx bud

  800. cheers bud much appreciated 😊
    2
  801. thx mate 👍
    2
  802. The astro systems of Luton. Are good quality old scopes
    2
  803.  @mollieann7613  cool thx Mollie
    2
  804. Yeh, I now have one. Luckily it's small enough to be allowed on planes
    2
  805. Me too. I think time-lapse from the toilet should be an Olympic sport. It might be my best shot at gold😂
    2
  806. if your star test is fine then leave it and be happy👍
    2
  807. thx bud enjoy the starry skies😁
    2
  808. £400 but your eyes are free
    2
  809. 7x is good
    2
  810. Ha yes... But id prefer to do this full time😜 yeh your right about webcams athough i think mobile phones and dslr cameras are better now although obviously more pricey and require less enginuity
    2
  811. yeh that would be good... 👍
    2
  812. Well if time and space aren't fundamental then they are in some way constructed in our headset... so I think that is quite profound.
    2

    2
  816. tbh this video is doing exceptionally badly so it'll be more backyard telescopes in the future
    2
  817. yeah... its an ai generated tune made by @rickentein
    2
  818. thx bud took me a while to be ok with my voice 👍

  823. biggest mistake of her life! 😂
    2
  824. 🤣
    2
  825. Yeh... I now have a p30 but it is flawed for astro
    2
  826. yes that would be a good idea although I was trying to do the whole set up mount and all for £600
    2
  827. 😁
    2
  828. wrong animation, doh😭
    2
  829. most visual scopes are f6 or 8 so yes a collimation cap is fine... and a quick check with an out if focus star would get you very good collimation but if your scope is f5 or less then maybe you want more. Ultimately star collimatiin is thr best and collimation is very important for planetary observation.
    2
  830. my telescope is 50 years old? Heres a link to more info...https://www.astrobiscuit.com/deepspaceluckyimaging
    2
  831. +Blapi Darious looks like your sorted with those lenses😜
    2
  832. moons very easy... but to anwer question i dont have enough cameras
    2
  833. I'm interested in this too... !
    2
  834. 🤣
    2
  835. you're not the only one to think this... and bunny does smell of egg🤔
    2
  836. i think the UFO was a military helicopter...
    2
  837. thx mate, I get lots of encouragement and that makes me want to do more!
    2
  838. Thx man i think Riktenstien pulled out a good tune (but don't tell him ... 🤣)
    2
  839. thx pat👍
    2
  840. Yeh my brother in law bought it
    2
  841. Basically stick a camera with no lens where the eyepiece should go.
    2
  842.  @joebidengaming191  You make so little anyway, like $10 a month. I'll stop the ads as soon as I get round to it. Just so we're clear tho I don't like your tone and I don't care what you think.
    2
  843. Is it camera noise?
    2
  844. Perfect. Im trying to convert non geeks🤣🤣 thx for watching
    2
  845. yeh I daren't actually watch it again.. mebn crying is very embarassing!
    2
  846. errr... you have a bit to learn. whynnot stack the frames from the mobile phone video. i did it in this vid https://youtu.be/UhX1IPBd31g
    2
  847. yes... things have gone south but that episode is coming
    2
  848. Saturn jupiter definitely. Orion yes but only bc orion is so bright. Andromeda no... Maks are for planets
    2
  849.  @TheMrSakib  80mm f5 refractor is very versatile and can do orion and andromed ( I say this in the video). 130mm or 150mm F5 Newtonian is very good also and will show you a bit more
    2
  850. now that would be telling😁
    2
  851. I don't know but an intervalometer should work with your normal phone camera software. Try nightcap.
    2
  852. Yeh we did talk about barlows... But not f ratio... Im going for f24 with my set up but ive heard others talk about f30... Of course it all depends on the size of your pixels.
    2
  853. glad to have you👍
    2
  854. Thx lukeybaby😀 i think you need to work at it full time to get lots if subs and probably find some way of driving people to the channel... But thx for the encouragement 😀
    2
  855. i think it will work we have great mods helping out
    2
  856. are the posing as me?
    2
  857. It's 14x11x2.5 inches so whatever that is in mm...
    2
  858. Good points, thx. I think Hoffman big point is that space and time aren't fundamental and established physics assumes they are fundamental. The vr headset might be a bit too close to the matrix and therefore misinterpretation but as a metaphor it's a good one I think. if we can't probe what's fundemental then we have to guess at what's happening at a fundemental level and hope the physics we see around us emerges from our guess... that's why l like wolfram's approach. I wish I could show you thooft interview. it was very cordial and interesting. At the time of filming i didn't know that I was going on to film wolfram. In the end all we take from thooft is that he is using cellular automata to explain what is going on beneath quantum mechanics. this is published and well known. his approach is less radical than wolfram's tho...
    2
  859. thats what i thought
    2
  860. Yep
    2
  861. I think the starblast is better. I think the 127 with its mirror and lens in the focus tube combo is to be avoided.
    2
  862. cool. i did up the saturation in my video to male the blue really stand out. happy hunting👍
    2
  863. Yup...
    2
  864. you're not wrong. I had to over simplyfy a lot including words like the establishment. And in order to get people to watch I had to give the vid a catchy click baity title. If I didn't the number of viewers would be low and all the effort would be for nought. I would however say that physics is in general in a rut and it does need a kick up the bum and really that's the subtext of this vid. who knows if Wolfram is right but it's where I'm currently leaning. thx for your comments.
    2
  865. I blew it out then reversed the vid... The wider shots all missed🤣
    2
  866. 🤣
    2
  867. wow
    2
  868. yes and the guy dropped it off. My BIGGEST bargain ever. Was such a good scope too.
    2
  869. 😅 already sold it for I think about 90 which was what it was worth
    2
  870. Does cultest mean good?
    2
  871. he hee👍
    2
  872. +Jens Lankamp umm the resolution is hd basically when you do a 5xdigital zoom on the 600d you end up with roughly 1280x960 i think and the cool thing is almost 1 pixel on the sensor translates to 1 pixel on the screen. It can only manage 30fps.
    2
  873. +Jens Lankamp hi jens i guess it was the highest resolution. Thx and good luck. You will get amazing moon shots with your 4inch mak... And of course jupiter when its back in the skies😃
    2
  874. It depends how well the 25p tracks which I don't know. Also are you full frame? Will need a choma corrector if you are
    2
  875. Calm down dear it's only a YouTube video
    2
  876. maybe... slower of course... also i chose newt as if it gets a bump whilst travelling its easy to recollimate.
    2
  877. I read that a marujana first time round😂
    2
  878. Yeh just need more time... A bigger scope would be better tho
    2
  879. Cheers Scott and thx for watching my vids😜
    2
  880. Gracias big man😃
    2
  881. thank you👍
    2
  882. you know🤣
    2
  883. yeh... maybe one of the tracks left by the moon buggy is possible
    2
  884. thx j

  887. Very versatile vegetable and key for bread sauce
    2
  888. FYI, Brits use miles, scientists use km
    2
  889. Thx faran. I really must provide more links to the technical issues. The camera had the ir filter removed - i did it myself but i do know someone who does it professionally.
    2
  890. And i will find a link to the collimation proceedure... And add it to the description
    2
  891. Used to make docs for discovery
    2
  892. It does pretty much. They think all planets formed from the same disc that was spinning round the proto sun and were still all going round pretty much like that disc was😀 hope that makes sense
    2
  893. Ha I wish I'd made it 3 years ago. re 42. thx for the tip ... but what is the question?
    2
  894. so you have to video the planets and then use autostakkert software to stack the frames of the video... the stack will not be pixelated
    2
  895. i wanted to do it cheap
    2
  896. You want the least compressed video setting you can get. Sometimes the hd video files are very compressed. Basically the more megabites per second the better.
    2
  897. ha🤣doesn't altogether surprise me
    2
  898. I'm gonna try and hide you from the channel so you don't have to watch any more. Not sure if it works but fingers crossed it does
    2
  899. Oh I think it just hides your comments... Doh
    2

  906. Its called intervalometer and its for android. 😁.
    2
  907. There are two intervalometer apps... company that makes my one is mobilephoton
    2
  908. I think it might be worth looking at nightcap (nitecape?)...
    2
  909. 😂
    2
  910. come to the discord server ... thats where i hang out
    2
  911. you're refering to what i said in the car whilst desperately searching for a non windy spot? err no it wasn't nasa mumbling that🤣
    2
  912. +Leandra Maphorisa thank you leandra... Much appreciated😃
    2
  913. Well those 25x are much bigger than mine but you might get away with a monopod which apparently is a bit less restrictive than a tripod.
    2
  914. Manas thank you and thank for your patronage
    2
  915. 70mm f10... or we could start talking about newts at 130mm... or for widefield my lovely 80mm f5 achro...
    2
  916. Well I can't answer that as I don't have a phone signal...😭
    2
  917. nasa btw i can't remember but i think I zoomed in and did the tilt up myself in my editing software. you can find the shot in the nasa archives... and i do know where your going with this btw and i think you're wrong.
    2
  918. I don't understand, bunny speaks with bunny's voice...? Are you saying bunny is really a robot. I my gosh its worse than I thought. The robots really are taking over.
    2
  919. Awesome 👍
    2
  920. cheers bud, I have a few subs from brazil... is it because Dross mentioned me once (I know he's from Mexico)
    2
  921. ​ @brunobbll ​ great, I'm glad. thank you buddy.

  926. @Astrobiscuit • 1 second ago so sorry I missed this. Thx Wayne. Very much appreciated.
    2
  927. thx fella for the kind word and the donation
    2
  928. yeh so as not to confuse things I'll use an example. Last night I saw jupiter's red spot and 4 of its galilean moons with my eye. When I filmed Jupiter with a camara, I could see the moons but jupiter's red spot was blown out. When I reduced the exposure time so I could see jupiter's red spot i couldn't see the moons. My eyes could see both the moons and the red spot at the same time bc my eyes have a much greater dynamic range.
    2
  929. half way down this page... https://www.astrobiscuit.com/best-budget-telescope fyi celestron don't sell this scope anymore.
    2
  930. grand theft auto cheers gary👍👍👍
    2
  931. i like my 50year old edmund scientific 6inch f6... fantastic mirror
    2
  932. I've thought about this too and ive not seen any available commercially
    2
  933. Thanks bud
    2
  934. 🤣as always
    2
  935. +Mark Attardo thx mark much appreciated😆
    2
  936. Yep my bad
    2
  937. Simple answer: yep totally works for beginner level deep sky imaging. More complicated answer: the set up is great but the maximum exposure time is 45 seconds and probably 30 seconds is a safer bet ( FYI Longer exposure times allow you to get fainter objects). Still there are loads of galaxies and nebula that you can get with this set up + some of the modern cameras with low read noise work really well with lots of short exposures. A more expensive driven equatorial mount would allow longer exposure times but also an added bit of difficulty. ;-)
    2
  938. Oh thx mate much appreciated
    2
  939. awesomeness thx👍
    2
  940. errr... high up i guess, i think there is a plateu and im going in sept which is good for nebula in our galaxy
    2
  941. awesome. more on the way
    2
  942. thx bud;-)
    2
  943. i used to make sciences doc but nevwr recorded any
    2
  944. ohhh no too late, i didn't really register that it was happening.
    2
  945. I doubt many people will tune in that early anyway.
    2
  946. 🤣I'm gonna use that very good
    2
  947. cool

  948. A 2nd hand 1000d is good and very cheap , a 2nd hand 600d is better and costs more but is still good value. And yes both will shoot DS if you have a mount that tracks 😁
    2
  949. Hey Andy, sorry I'm not planning on doing an autostakkert video yet... and I haven't found one to recommend. Actually I'm not really an expert at autostakkert anyway. Just good enough to make it work
    2
  950. 🤣because of work... But planning on resuming in August 😜
    2
  951. thank you
    2
  952. yes Es Reid had a quick look when i interviewed him and he thought it looked not bad but we didn't have time to do a full on test. I'm gonna take it to the canaries if i can fit it in the suitcaa6
    2
  953. Thx mate
    2
  954. WOW Joe! THANK YOU SO MUCH. much love the biscuit😍
    2
  955. ummmn 5 or 10mm maybe
    2
  956. not heard if that...
    2
  957. sorry about that. When was it you were on? General chat is full of noobs, lf you go deeper into the server there are less. The Do It yourself or telescopes channels is generally pretty good and the biscuit tin has none nor the BAT. We are weeding out the bad eggs thats why im curious to know when you were on.
    2
  958. shhh🤣
    2
  959. im really struggling with the title. did you watch the video btw. its very good.
    2
  960. yeh that a nice one
    2
  961. Yeh man i hear ya... I loved seeing them all above london😜
    2
  962. yeh money is a big problem with this hobby
    2
  963. It's on my bucket list
    2
  964. Well done for surviving the video🤣
    2
  965. thx so much tom...
    2
  966.  @elroykez  hey Elroy, I do constantly message with patrons but i don't expect I'll have time to zoom regularly. Occasionally i might but my main focus and time is spent making and editing more videos. In all honesty my Patrons help me make more videos by supporting me and I try to repay them by making more videos rather than spending time creating patron perks. I totally understand if this isn't what you were hoping for. I think its best to be honest up front.
    2
  967. Stellarium
    2
  968. true but fortunately bunny didn't know
    2
  969. thx Michael and yes I think that'd be a good idea. Although I am planning on doing a part ii to this so can't sell the televue yet.
    2
  970. totally possible yes😁
    2
  971. if I had to choose one scope it would be a 150mm reflector
    2
  972. and if I had more cash it'd be a 9.25sct
    2
  973. aye
    2
  974. https://youtu.be/ewQ_wSgCFTU?si=Q4_DwcvFLqaqPOuO
    2
  975. Cool really hoping to get the show out this weekend 😁
    2
  976. Cool very pleased... Still be enough problems to go round😜
    2
  977. yeh it was cheap because it had had over 1/4 million activations. 6d's are the best and before christmas they were about 300quid on ebay, now they have gone up to nearly 400.
    2
  978. ahh thx bud👍
    2
  979. yes... it is, well its the spare/snoring room. im not proud
    2
  980. About the right size.. Thx for playing
    2
  981. Oh thx mate, appreciate it👍
    2
  982. Ah yes, it's a shame.
    2
  983. Thx mate... Much appreciated
    2
  984. Calling riktenstein ate you receiving over😃 @Riktenstien
    2
  985. Will I'm waiting for an encouraging comment
    2
  986. can you reply with the email that you recieved when you ordered the pic and i will answer and sort you out. thx
    2
  987. sales@astrobiscuit.com
    2
  988. i just searched for orders from someone whoose surname is redgrave and nothing came up... are you sure you put in an order?
    2
  989. +Dwayne Green thx for watching fella😃 ew one coming out. Ery soon
    2
  990. yeh your lens will do good stuff... you can also get andromeda and orion nebula without a tracking mount by using a series of short exposures
    2
  991. Yeh I think you're right. A ballon or a bird or maybe or possibly a large bit of space junk like the big fuel tank from the russian rocket sl-14 which my sky view app puts very close to mars at the time i shot it
    2
  992. yeh mine struggled with backlash issues which messed with PhD guiding and made imaging hard.
    2
  993. 🤣
    2
  994. cheers tony Drummore sounds great but I guess being so far north the summer is a washout...
    2
  995. Thx bud
    2
  996. The humans would roast the aliens
    2
  997. thx Dan... I must say it's hard making a video about this which is easy to digest. I'm pretty sure the big boys will not appreciate the dumbing down but hey swings and roundabouts.
    2
  998. She's run off with bunny
    2
  999. I just sent thooft the transcript of his cut down interview and unfortunately I made an obvious and large grammatical typo in the first sentence. My fault entirely, I am dyslexic so I should have checked more thoroughly. I think the typo combined with discovering that I had interviewed wolfram and this thooftd segment was now very short and not as detailed as he expected might have fuelled his curtness.
    2
  1000. You could try some filters which screw into the end of the eyepiece... Or wear sunglasses. Or get an even more zoomed in eyepiece like a 5mm
    2
  1001. True about mono camera but mirror quality is not bad and the budget set up does gather more photons... Anyways 6k still won, but next vid will be with a much better newtonian mirror... Ive found a great one... hee hee
    2
  1002. Thx but which app? Intervalometer? Ive got an Android phone btw...
    2
  1003. clouds😭
    2
  1004. cheers fella, I'm very glad youtube's algorithm is beginning to find people who might be interested in this subject. I will def check out penroses tiles... I did look at the e8 idea too! thx for subbing👍
    2
  1005. always takes me ages!
    2
  1006. Big words 😂 I'd be interested to see one in action
    2
  1007. as it happens it was modded but that really isn't important for planetary. the mod is done so you can pick up the hydrogen in deep space nebula
    2
  1008. That night that is how far away it was.... 🤣 Btw lots of folks breaking my balls over this but jeez the moon orbits in an eclipse not a circle so I don't think it's a particularly big deal
    2
  1009. Yes i believe you can get a celestron gizmo that does that
    2
  1010. Cool
    2
  1011. Cool
    2
  1012. they are all listed on my website halfway down the page https://www.astrobiscuit.com/best-budget-telescope
    2
  1013. actually i did. part of the problem was a didgy lead between my computer and the mount.
    2
  1014. Thx pedros😊 I haven't done a video on eyepieces. I use orthoscopics but there is a vast choice. Probably best to do some digging on cloudy nights website
    2
  1015. +Tekashi_69 :v Gracias por venir y gracias Dross
    2
  1016. Mate very generous T H A N K Y O U😁
    2
  1017. Thx fonzy and thx for the share on twitter 😜
    2
  1018. thx Jon much appreciated
    2
  1019. cool 👍
    2
  1020. It is good don't worry
    2
  1021. I included darks and flats😃
    2
  1022. oh no
    2
  1023. 20th july
    2
  1024. If i could hear what your saying then i would but unfortunately....😂
    2
  1025. what are OG's.? but anyways yeh i thought that title would set the algorithm on fire... but it didn't. 😂
    2
  1026. Thx buddy much appreciated 😃
    2
  1027. Hey Denis. That sounds like a very well thought out plan. 3000 is still cheap and avoids the troubles of budget mounts that make taking photos of space unpleasant
    2
  1028. thx fella, yes me and rik did think about changing the name because you can't really tell that this is an astrophotography channel by the name astrobiscuit... of course i have enjoyed biscuits and gravy in the US but its not the same sort of biscuit at all!
    2
  1029. fools
    2
  1030. It's cheap if you do it yourself
    2
  1031. Ok good to know👍😅
    2
  1032. 🤣shhh
    2
  1033. Thx... I used to be quite shy cos i thought my voice was embarrassing 😂
    2
  1034. Got one now😂 and it's small enough to be taken on planes👍
    2
  1035. me too😂
    2
  1036. I used autostakkert and pixinsight😆
    2
  1037. thx I found recently one guy managed it in ir on cloudy nights with an 8inch HD sct ...
    2
  1038. its coming
    2
  1039. Good for moon and planets and very bright Nebula like orion and globular clusters
    2
  1040. Me too😂
    2
  1041. ahhh good point
    2
  1042. That makes 3 of us🤣
    2
  1043. Something like this https://www.firstlightoptics.com/adapters/t-rings/ref/astrobiscuit with a nose piece like this https://www.firstlightoptics.com/adapters/astro-essentials-1-25-inch-t-mount-camera-nosepiece-adapter/ref/astrobiscuit
    2
  1044. Let's gooooooo
    2
  1045. yes
    2
  1046. 🤣
    2
  1047. my laser has stayed collimated for about a year now.... good luck building the newt with no secondary. I have thought aboht it.
    2
  1048. seems to work ok, i chose a "quiet" fan which seems to have no vibration that i can feel
    2
  1049. 😂
    2
  1050. My cameras are listed at the bottom of the blurb... A7s is my best one
    2
  1051. +Chinmoy Maji i suspect it will be close. the reflector might be a bit less contrasty although slighly sharper, the reflector might be reveal a bit more as it gathers more light but the whole experience might be more fun and less hassle with the binos. you will need a tripod for those binos btw.
    2
  1052. 😂not much to see anyways😂
    2
  1053. Essential galaxies are humongously enormous... It's hard to get your head around big they are
    2
  1054. ah thx bud
    2
  1055. excellent!
    2
  1056. thx reece👍
    2
  1057. i think some folks may have thrown their computer out if the window at that point🤣
    2
  1058. yes you did good. mirror grinding might become an Olympic sport one day
    2
  1059. I actually don't know about the EVscope at all.
    2
  1060. Ha. Lock down hair cut 😂
    2
  1061. Ha. Lock down hair cut 😂
    2
  1062. thx fonxy much appreciated, I'm trying to get a few more short ones out quickly rather than the months of waiting for the big ones
    2
  1063. happy b'day
    2
  1064. Yeh im still posting but work got in the way for a year and it takes me too long to make them but a big one coming v soon and a little one about binos coming too. 135 is a great lens. I don't kniw the 800d but i expect it'll be good
    2
  1065. its the first three letters of her surname combinef with the first three letters of her friends surname. Sorry i can't remember off hand
    2
  1066. 🤣
    2
  1067. Yay
    2
  1068. well... hmmmn
    2
  1069. +Mohamed Usama Ismail hi mohamed. orion nebula, plaedies, Andromeda galaxy, north american nebula and day light. good luck my Friend
    2
  1070. Pink bunny is busy and needs a bit of encouragement to come out and play again.... 😃
    2
  1071. will do👍
    2
  1072. thx terrence much appreciated and thx for subscribing
    2
  1073. maybe but big bertha is quite tall
    2
  1074.  @davidgifford8112  have you completely forgotten that this is about lucky imaging? 0.5 or less second exposures. Nic is a very nice chap and he's helped me in the past. i think im a few levels above you in terms of knowledge in this area. normally when I'm frank like this i get a very hostile response. I await with trembling knees🤣
    2
  1075. cool
    2
  1076. Cheers juka i saw you on instagram too😅
    2
  1077. Excellent (just need another 96000 and i can stop working🤣)
    2
  1078. i use Apt and id like to use NINA but i couldn't get it to work😭🤣
    2
  1079. yep, you've def been bitten by this bonkers hobby
    2
  1080. cool
    2
  1081. be careful you might end up getting a social life
    2
  1082. +Fat Roo Productions ooh i'm gonna come to oz before i pop it. Its def on the bucket list. V jealous.😉
    2
  1083. Someone did say that it had a name... I still don't know tho... Thx mate👍
    2
  1084. glad you likes it mate👍
    2
  1085. yes, ir is crisper particularly when the atmosphere is wobbly
    2
  1086. 👎
    2
  1087. Yes you need one for astrophotography on tje planets. Televue npowermate is the best. I have an affiliate Link nr bottom of the page. For visual you probably wouldn't need one if you have a 6mm or similar eyepiece
    2
  1088. unfortunately money doesn't grow on trees
    2
  1089. the original tonian didn't need collimation but the design was lost in the dark ages.... so called bc light pollution wasn't a provlem
    2
  1090. I think it's good too and I think it is about half as sharp.
    2
  1091. 🤣hopefully more people will tune in to watch my video than your comment
    2
  1092. well we're working on it👍
    2
  1093. thx fluffy... hopefully one day...
    2
  1094. 😂😂👽
    2
  1095. fyi without the reducer it is normal to need extenders to reach focus. i would check focus in the day time. hand hold the camera and reducer behind the scope to be sure that you need more outward travel to reach focus. There are a million stupid things to get right and everyone makes mistakes all the time!
    2
  1096. bunny says the exposures will be very very short and this will make it very tough. I believe the rule of 500 should really be the rule of 200 as using the rule of 500 you will get start trails. could work on something very very bright like orion Nebula.
    2
  1097. ha what a story😂thanks kindred spirit
    2
  1098. I'm going 16inch too... How come guiding is less than 1arc seconds, what mount are you using?
    2
  1099. Yeh astrophotography is addictive isn't it... But crazy, i mean takes up so much time and more often than not something goes wrong 😅
    2
  1100. basically he did it bc he is a nice chap... simple as that really.
    2
  1101. 🤣
    2
  1102. yeh they are a bit suspicious especially now I've bought an even bigger scope 😬
    2
  1103. Ok its on the list. Basically the ha solar scope was a pst that i got fot 250 and modded. The calcium and sodium scopes are much cheaper. I used tiny 12mm diameter diode laser filters and wedged them over the sensor...
    2
  1104. loadsa folks say that... vintage year of course 😂
    2
  1105. Not heard of it... Should I?
    2
  1106. the evil astro gods aren't fussy how they get me... As long as they get me😭
    2
  1107. 😜 soon very soon. Rik is working on the music/sound today
    2
  1108.  @DanFPG  ahh thx bud. do let me know if you run into any problems
    2
  1109. it wasn't quite 4 k as i did some longer exposures too. i stacked in app as its a bit quicker and threw away about 60 percent of the frames...
    2
  1110. Thx for playing. A very popular choice😊
    2
  1111. Thx bud... Gonna make some more soon
    2
  1112. yep... jupiter and saturn will be rising earlier as earth catches up with them... as for hieght in the sky, im not sure. i know they will be higher next year and higher still the year after that.
    2
  1113. yes it's was a second hand unbranded one but it seems to be like astronomik cls
    2
  1114. yeh totally fair enough. I don't know if wolfram's idea is the answer but I think it deserves a bit more hype so that the community can check it out rigorously. and to make that happen I'm hyping it. if I didn't then not many people would watch the video and it would have been a waste of time making it. A pragmatic tactic by a nobody who believes physics is in a rut.
    2
  1115. Err I know it's bigger than 13,7billion light years due to inflation and expansion but I don't know that it is 93 billion light years wide, nobody does. The physicists are making a guess at this point. Far better and more reliable to talk about how long light has travelled.
    2
  1116. Yeh I have some stuff about my preferred mounts here... https://www.astrobiscuit.com/mid-level-astrophotography-rig
    2
  1117. +Uk2014Ch where would ee be without them 😂
    2
  1118. who me? On the roof I feel like such an idiot talking to myself whilst filming that maybe I do kinda whisper
    2
  1119. i think 90s but i will have to check
    2
  1120. I like your thinking but I'm worried about coma with a parabolic mirror...
    2
  1121. thx bid
    2
  1122. in part yes... I think a fair few people will be a bit annoyed that it ain't about astrophotgraphy... but best mount for astrophotography vid coming v soon😁
    2
  1123. Thx buddy 😃
    2
  1124. nope...
    2
  1125. I'm on my way.... doh lockdown😬
    2
  1126. Pleasure and thx
    2
  1127. im assuming you didn't watch the video then.
    2
  1128. Actually I have bought one... Cost more tho
    2
  1129. yes... and if you're camera is small its a good idea but you'll need a longer tube.
    2
  1130. 😭
    2
  1131. i shot some of the driving shots much later after id roughly edited the scene when i was down at my mums... prob about 50/50 on the night/shot much later
    2
  1132. Cool. Thx. Much appreciated. I'm going to have to go patreon in order to make more 😜
    2
  1133. Pixinsight
    2
  1134. You guys need to go somewhere really dark. Andromeda is mad. Faint smudges is what you see though not really detailed dust lanes.
    2
  1135. +Justin Baldwin hey justin.sounds good. Glad your bitten by the bug and welcome to some frustrating nights imaging objects millions of miles away😃 orthopedics are best for planets although i know someone who did a great pla et with a 10mm possl and a barlow lens. For deep space i'm still trying to figure out which eyepiece to use
    2
  1136. +Justin Baldwin i think with tje phone and a kellner the moon will be good... Possibly andromeda with a 20mm or bigger kellner eyepiece and 7 sisters (plaedies m45) and of course orion nebula m42. Just give it a try and see what you get. Moon is easiest... Then if your feeling brave go for orion.😃
    2
  1137. ooh luck you
    2
  1138. of course🤣
    2
  1139. you just have to somehow get the phone to point in the same direction as the telescope. that's all. I didnt take pictures with the phone I just used the sky views sense of where its pointing to aim the scope. I rigged a device made of wood and a phone protective case and a 1.25 tube that allowed me to reliably align the phone with the scope. thx. you could try holding the phone flush to the scope...
    2
  1140. as you suspect 114 is not the best scope
    2
  1141. Cheers jeff😀
    2
  1142. im afraid i don't think centering the secondary is a great thing to do in a fast newt. Fine for f5 ot six but i think an f4 newt the secondary should be pushed slightly forward towards the primary mirror by the secondary diameter / (4xfocal ratio) This is quite advanced though so i don't cover it in this basic tutorial.
    2
  1143. So true
    2
  1144. +Jenham's Astro ive just shown my wife your comment😃
    2
  1145. Yeh I plan on doing a video about this
    2
  1146. i actually was interested i getting one...
    2
  1147. Hi astrum. Love your videos. Any chance of a shout out to my crazy low budget astrophotography channel www.youtube.com/astrobiscuit. (totally understand if you don't) - keep up the good work😜
    2
  1148. Thx bud. I use orthoscopics but in truth I am more of an Imager than an observer
    2
  1149. 😍u back
    2
  1150. yeh wot rik said😁
    2
  1151. Mike Steel oh yes ... I hear you. Thousands... 😱
    2
  1152. cheers fella
    2
  1153. Thanks 🔥
    2
  1154. A man after my own heart.
    2
  1155. beginners luck😂
    2
  1156. yeh I was please with the one of it behind the trees. I'm looking forward to getting better at timelapse.
    2
  1157. I think orthoscopic eyepieces are the best for planets bc they only have 2 glass elements and so the image is marginally crisper
    2
  1158. true
    2
  1159. thx bud... i would but this video has done quite badly so Im concentrating on astrophotography for the moment.
    2
  1160. i know... i am. im gonna get a lot of stick for this.
    2
  1161. yeh actually
    2
  1162. thx
    2
  1163. yeh good for high end deep space astrophotography but I've heard a lot of people spend hours and hours fiddling with the collimation.
    2
  1164. light pollution doesn't really effect the planets or the sun or star clusters or globular clusters but for the rest I use narrowband filters... galaxies are best shot somewhere dark... but I have still shot some from London
    2
  1165. I've never seen a comet. Still one day, I wonder how bright Swan will get
    2
  1166. +Gowtham T 7x50 or 8x50 are nice and bright and not too zoomed in
    2
  1167. on one FB page that I'm a member of they got really pissed off bc I used the term UFO.
    2
  1168. yeah... I know🙄
    2
  1169.  @astrodysseus  cheers Laurent. i really like the GTi too - with the eq firmware upgrade!
    2
  1170. don't tell anyome else, you'll kill the whole astro industry😂
    2
  1171. that is something I'd like to try. thx bud. I actually have a 60mm f700 old school vixen guidescope
    2
  1172. Abroad🤣
    2
  1173. he's watched it like 100 times.
    2
  1174. Cool thx Henrik😃
    2
  1175. Actually you will find out in the next vid (but gotta wait till work finishes b4 i can make it)
    2
  1176. Amateur (with astrophysics degree which ive mostly forgotten) 😜
    2
  1177. rik thinks im the frank spencer of astrophotography...
    2
  1178. 😂
    2
  1179. in my tests webcam was worse than both my phone HTC u11 and much worse than my 600d. don't know about the other camera but I did experiment with security cameras and found mine was rubbish due to the fact that they recorded at low res. in fact I used a special app to make the phone record with less compression
    2
  1180. 🤣
    2
  1181. yeh🤣
    2
  1182. Thx bud
    2
  1183. Thx for the comments tom, much appreciated
    2
  1184. i need to try that
    2
  1185. thx very much and very much appreciated
    2
  1186. shhhhh
    2
  1187. Alex S for you alex I’ll do some more! 2 more big ones coming before Christmas... don’t forget to subscribe!
    2
  1188. +7. 0 Gracias por venir y gracias Dross
    2
  1189. hmmm i think the best option is to search on youtube. Modern guide cameras are really planetary camera and they are very sensitive and have small pixels and that means you can get away with having a much smaller guide scope than what I used in this video... the most important thing is that the guide scope is rigid.
    2
  1190. Yup and your friends 🤣
    2
  1191. thx Marsha... let me know of suggestions for other videos
    2
  1192.  @MADMARSHATV  thx Marsha. Good ideas ;-) gonna think about the solar one first
    2
  1193. at least the expensive kit works😁
    2
  1194. um yeh its possible but a celestron or skywatcher st80 telescope would make the process easier. Did you see my shooting thru binos video?
    2
  1195. partly shot but not gone to canaries yet
    2
  1196. Thx fella. I'm going to start doing this full time... Well at least for a few months till the money runs out😁
    2
  1197. i was genuinely worried at the time so we decided to leave it in. pretty sure it was 2 military helicopters.
    2
  1198. Literally everyone has mentioned the clutch😭
    2
  1199. See the blurb underneath
    2
  1200. Thx😁
    2
  1201. UK is miles
    2
  1202. job done😂... oh and if you do pls use my links 😉
    2
  1203. Errr
    2
  1204. Yes i like opticron imagic tga 7x50 on sunday I will post a video about them
    2
  1205. 🤣
    2
  1206. cool thx😜
    2
  1207. 😆 i hear ya🤣
    2
  1208. also some key graphs from it on my website https://astrobiscuit.com/lucky-imaging-theory/
    2
  1209. if you had spent your time watching the video instead of writing this you would know. anything i sell thru my affliate links earns me a commission. nothing else. as stated. as mentioned vaonis lent me stellina. fyi the only reason i ended up borrowing stellina is bc i was on the gadget show ch5 and they got me to review it.
    2
  1210. brill thank you. He's so sharp.
    2
  1211. yes its good...
    2
  1212. I did paint it before shooting... Lots chipped off tho
    2
  1213. I second that.
    2
  1214. Believe me I have one now🤣
    2
  1215. It's not possible but I would like to make a video to see if I could see the tracks left by the rover
    2
  1216. 😂
    2
  1217. actually we have a guy who joined the big amateur telescope who is using the keck observatory (hes doing a masters on direct imaging of exoplanets) and hes shared a scientific paper on lucky imaging. Ive not read it BUT any exposure under 10s gets some benefits, 1 sec is much better and 0.1s is about the optimum
    2
  1218. I just bought some helios 20x80s... Looking forward to trying them out
    2
  1219. If you have a dslr that is often a good place to start. When used right i found the 600d by canon amazing. Got great dhots with it and pretty much your set up.
    2
  1220. Here is a link to the video https://youtu.be/pYsgyL7I8RI
    2
  1221. yeh me too
    2
  1222. Err larger pixels is better generally.... Ultimately though you want the most sensitive camera. Modern cmos sensor cameras have such low read noise that the size of the pixels isn't so important.
    2
  1223. Photographic tissue paper... And baadder cleaning fluid... It's ok.
    2
  1224. Mount
    2
  1225.  @pierpaolozeni2053  Yes they are. FLO are very good because if someone buys something with one of my links then any thing that person buys for the next month I get a little kickback. I have some links for EQ6-r and AVX here: https://www.astrobiscuit.com/mid-level-astrophotography-rig and some more mount suggestions (EQ5 Pro Goto Mount, HEQ5 with Rowan belt upgrade) in the blurb at the bottom of this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRoFUj0cNt8&t=414s Thx BUD. MOST APPRECIATED
    2
  1226.  @pierpaolozeni2053  awe thx buddy much appreciated. Any questions just fire away
    2
  1227. thats a good analogy
    2
  1228. Yeh good idea
    2
  1229. I think the newt would win if it wasnt windy
    2
  1230. Except that light doesn't travel fast enough.... We can only see back in time and we hit a dead end at the beginning of the universe
    2
  1231. its to make up for all the clouds
    2
  1232. you should try my discord server as that is what its designed for. Many people have found it really helpful but some aren't able to get there head around it.
    2
  1233. It took me 10 trips to the printers before getting it right. It's so difficult because paper has so much less dynamic range than a screen. I use the Printspace in london and I print on fancy H something photo rag paper which has no reflections.
    2
  1234. I'm looking into it!
    2
  1235. ebay auctions pick up only... is where the best bargains are to be had
    2
  1236. my community will have the answers
    2
  1237. ask a nerd https://discord.gg/FKwbCbcHcT
    2
  1238. cheers bud. i really appreciate it and hope people who dont know check out your brilliant channel @astrofasography
    2
  1239. Well thx for your comment... for me the point is as we can't see or describe what happens at the very smallest scales we can not do any better than guess and see if our guess produces the physics that we see around us... and his does. I'm fully wolframed😂
    2
  1240. I really like the eq6 r
    2
  1241. actually i have some note here https://www.astrobiscuit.com/mid-level-astrophotography-rig
    2
  1242. Thx bud. Sounds good. Good luck with your shots. Silly video this one huh😃
    2
  1243. Of course
    2
  1244. And after the first 5minutes there was non of that yet you still complain
    2
  1245. Yes he did 😂
    2
  1246. shaving mirror is spherical and a proper telescope mirror is parabolic
    2
  1247. Ahh thx man, and the discord is really thx to great mods and great nerds
    2
  1248. of course... genius😂
    2
  1249. i think electrical force has been much underestimated but im no expert. on mobile right now so please google "starburst m82 hubble starclusters nasa" for more info thx.
    2
  1250. ahh thx mate,
    2
  1251. yep there are two old factories in Danyang that i rate... the rest not so much. dude i hope you are good. 👍
    2
  1252. 😱
    2
  1253. Tread very carefully my friend. Pink Rabbit has ways of making 'truth seekers' disappear... Even if they seek truth on a budget.
    2
  1254.  @markduckmanton4227  you really want to check out my website www.astrobiscuit.com and "ask a nerd" on in the astrobiscuit discord community https://discord.gg/QunjXSFE8H , everyone one is very friendly
    2
  1255. thx fella. much appreciated 😃 gonna have to take a break as i've got to work 🤥 but hopefully get back in the saddle late spring.
    2
  1256. that'll be happenening this autumn. Got most of the kit but got to sort the bat out and male collimation video then sun video first
    2
  1257.  @ryfzer9795  i would change your power supply. I think it has to be 12-15v and at least 1amp. Try taping the power supply onto the socket so it won't cut out.
    2
  1258. yeh a lot of people dont like stellina but the best scope is a scope you use and 3 minute set up scope like stellina is def a scope you'll use.
    2
  1259. 6d is a good call. Thx for watching
    2
  1260. ahh mate not a small amount, thank you👍
    2
  1261. in guiding software called phd2
    2
  1262. 8x50
    2
  1263. yeh got a big one coming soon(ish) only just started quarantine. Lets see how if i manage not to loose my mind
    2
  1264. planning on doing a mount one... dslr one might be good too
    2
  1265. hi fella, I'm not going to have enough time to answer all your questions sorry. to stack the images we use free software called autostakkert. if you are really keen on getting technical answers you should join our commumity on discord link in the blurb.
    2
  1266. thx bud
    2
  1267. yes. true.
    2
  1268. cheers juan😜
    2
  1269. @Astrobiscuit • 1 second ago so sorry I missed this. Thx dude. Very much appreciated.
    2
  1270. Cool. Thx next one out in a week or so😀
    2
  1271. To be fair Angelo was never planning on staying the night
    2
  1272. thx bud... aligning an alt az mount might be one to miss🤣🤣
    2
  1273. +Childhood Hero thank you... All the nice comments like these make me want to carry on doing it.
    2
  1274. good luck
    2
  1275. oh great and I'm glad trevor mentioned me and thx fir being a payreon, much appreciated. 👍
    2
  1276. thx Liam... just wish I could make em a bit quicker or maybe do it full time;-)
    2
  1277. 😁 me niether... Won't be till june tho bc of work 😠
    2
  1278. My brother in law bought it for me
    2
  1279. yeh cock up 😢
    2
  1280. Let's gooooo
    2
  1281. thx to be fair nasa said that 15 years ago when this kind of thing wasn't possible
    2
  1282. yeh but astrophotography vids are coming
    2
  1283. hi poland
    2
  1284. I'll have to look that one up
    2
  1285. celestron don't make this scope anymore. but Meade do... please check out my website https://www.astrobiscuit.com/best-budget-telescope
    2
  1286. AHH thank you
    2
  1287. Is it the edge of a crater just catching the light?
    2
  1288.  @memycrazyoffspringastro1663  I've seen it on different mounts but assuming you have a goto then you are very well set for lunar and planetary astrophotography.... you could also buy a smaller scope or a telephoto lens and do deep space with 30second or less exposures like i did in my first video https://youtu.be/QO3V9wxHkUE
    2
  1289. 😂
    2
  1290. yeh😬
    2
  1291. i did order a quiet one bc they are less vibratey
    2
  1292. Mrs biscuit is actually making videos about gardening😂 for her community garden members
    2
  1293. that was the plan... but now ceri has made such a well turned scope we're going to be a bit more careful.
    2
  1294. No doublet
    2
  1295. Yes but use a much wider lend. Andromeda is 5 times bigger thanbthe moon. See my what can you see thru binoculars vid about 6mins in
    2
  1296. maybe yes
    2
  1297. oh good👍
    2
  1298.  @astroadventures3559  thx mate much appreciated... 👍
    2
  1299. well lets find out, if I don't earn any commission then your right😅
    2
  1300. some folks get very very close... thx for watching
    2
  1301. Yeh but you could get the hercules globular cluster thats gettable from London (where i live)
    2
  1302. Umm iso1600 shooting in video mode with 5x digital zoom
    2
  1303. quiet now you'll get in trouble
    2
  1304. ok. tbh if i don't post more regularly im doomed anyways👍
    2
  1305. cheers bud much appreciated. I think I need a coffee today😜
    2
  1306. sozzas... I'm trying to forget I ever made it.
    2
  1307. I think they are both pretty good mounts (EQM-35 looks good on paper but the only guy I knew who had one didn't get on with it. You might want to consider the avx too ... I talk about it on this page https://www.astrobiscuit.com/mid-level-astrophotography-rig
    2
  1308. i know right!
    2
  1309. probably worth it then imho
    2
  1310. 🤣it came off so dont worry🤣
    2
  1311. Ha🤣... If she watched my other vids like deep space for £150 she might believe you... :shameless plug😅
    2
  1312. thx fella really appreciate it
    2
  1313. 😆
    2
  1314. hee hee, well atmosphere has a lot to do with it. Try shooting on a calm night.
    2
  1315. we keep the wires pretty taught...
    2
  1316. And yes in the next video I mention the other easier to get to sites
    2
  1317. Cool thx😃
    2
  1318. 🤣 imagine what it was like for me editing the damn thing🤣
    2
  1319. +erodriguex2k thx m8😃
    2
  1320. thx Max
    2
  1321. baader diamond steeltrack seems v good. Its hard to find any for small 6inch newts tho
    2
  1322. yeh actually it wasn't on the trott it was 100hrs over a couple of months, my mistake
    2
  1323. Dangerous. I think you would damage your eyes.
    2
  1324. evil genius maybe or at least evil nerd
    2
  1325. you know you can join wolfram's effort online if you have the time... and I am especially pleased to have rekindled your interest in physics. The subject needs fresh blood😁
    2
  1326. yes Dr clark has a terrific and dry sense of humour
    2
  1327. i think its probably quite goodbut ive not used or even seen one in person
    2
  1328. yeh
    2
  1329. Only if you are a massivo dumb arse 🤣
    2
  1330. awesome thx
    2
  1331. 😂
    2
  1332. I will thank anyone who buys it bc then I'll get a commission and that'll help me make more nerdy video! I wouldn't want one bc I love thrill of the chase but I've seen the expression on the faces of non nerds when their picture downloads from Stellina. Its the same as when I took my first picture of bodes galaxy and could just make out the spiral arms. They are chuffed to bits.
    2
  1333. yup🤣
    2
  1334. Hi matt, as an astrophotographer my answer goes like this... The focal length is the distance it takes for light to focus to a point from the lens. A 500mm focal length scope will always be a 500mm scope. Field of view is what the camera actually sees in frame. So a 500mm scope combined with an apc sensor sized camera would have the same field of view as an 800mm focal length scope combined with a full frame camera.
    2
  1335. I'm trying for the moon...
    2
  1336. 🤣
    2
  1337.  @rageofyouth569  do you have an eq mount with slow motion controls
    2
  1338. ok so this is a good place to start if you want to take pics of deep space. https://astrobiscuit.com/cheap-and-easy-astrophotography/ for planets you'd need something different even these are good for £100 https://astrobiscuit.com/best-budget-telescope/ but you could go bigger https://astrobiscuit.com/best-all-round-telescope/ annoyingly there is no single answer. You'll have to figure out what part of the heavens you're most interested in and whether you want to take pics or just observe.
    2
  1339. well horizons ratings went down... i think they are still going and partner with discovery science now
    2
  1340. oh wow brilliant. I was also sceptical. I think some people are still not 100%sure. Next video is going to be more astroey. I'm gonna combine taking pics with the latest science
    2
  1341. doh😂
    2
  1342. 🤣
    2
  1343. thx fyi mrs biscuit isn't a big fan of astro
    2
  1344. You d have to go into outta space
    2
  1345.  @blapidarious780  yep i agree nice one @Riktenstien
    2
  1346.  @blapidarious780  wicked thx mate
    2
  1347. I think they'd be good for lunar and planetary photography and deep space observing
    2
  1348. Android native camera app in Pro mode... Intervalometer app just pushes the shutter
    2
  1349. i think thebsfx was just a drone you know like music but more droney. im pretty sure they were military helicopters
    2
  1350. yeh it was odd., he was my hero when I interviewed him... not so much now😂
    2
  1351. just got a p30 actually so maybe
    2
  1352. bunny is afdicted to that movie
    2
  1353. 🤣
    2
  1354. thx brian
    2
  1355. thanks mate much appreciated
    2
  1356. 🤣
    2
  1357. i plan on turning everyone in the world into a nerd, just 7.9 billion to go😂
    2
  1358. love u back from London
    2
  1359. well i personally dont centre my secondary in the focuser tube but for thosee who do they are fine if a little pricey.
    2
  1360. Thank you for watching 😊
    2
  1361. yeh gain 100 gives v low read noise which is critical for lucky imaging. Please use my affiliate link if you can👍
    2
  1362. such a good idea
    2
  1363.  @Daft_Ideas  Yes Stellina had like 15-20mins more capture time... but tbh after an hour or so the returns get less and less so I don't think that made much difference. We both imaged M51 for more than 2 hours. In a dark site Stellinas shortish exposure time limit would be much less of a problem. Although you can type in specific co-ordinates where you can point Stellina(so you don't have to pick an object in her app) I'm not aware of you being able to control her exposure time. I don't think with the current software you can control Stellinas exposure time.
    2
  1364. us nerds always live in hope 😄
    2
  1365. +Seafox0011 lots of helicopters where i live in london, in fact i could hear one when i shot this
    2
  1366. hmmm... maybe we are all part of YTs algorithm 😂
    2
  1367. 😂
    2
  1368. cool😆
    2
  1369. yeh without stacking our atmosphere makes the image a bit rubbish and if not sharpened too much it doesn't lie but I know what you mean.
    2
  1370. i include lots of women in my videos but there are so few black nerds that that its hard to include people of colour. I would like that to change. I did film one black guy once who i bought a telescope from but he later said he wouldnt let me use the footage. Fyi as a young man i was a teacher in Jamaica so i like to think im pretty colour blind.
    2
  1371. full Astromod and Ivor cut filter
    2
  1372. Thx😄 i agree about the wait but gotta feed the family annoyingly and this has to be a sideline.
    2
  1373. it's very hard to do this first time. try on the moon to begin with. and you may need to barlow up and use filters to avoid over exposing the planets. sorry it didn't work. we'll done for trying.
    2
  1374. good idea😃
    2
  1375. yep but weight is becoming more of an issue than size now...
    2
  1376. thx bud most appreciated 👍
    2
  1377. That makes me happy... This is a bonkers hobby tho eh😜
    2
  1378. fair point but it was/is a pretty big suitcase possibly max size that goes in the normal conveyer belt at the air port and i don't have much spare cash....
    2
  1379. yeh lots of folks think I'm like the hampster 🤣
    2
  1380. Im a bit of a know it all re Tunuska having made a show for discovery about it. Mark boslough is the man who modelled the airburst idea. i think the tremors from the burst were detected as far away a Paris but thx to the russian revolution no one got to go and check it out for ages
    2
  1381. 🤣oh those days are so over... and thx
    2
  1382. its chorizo bc thats what the professionals use,
    2
  1383. planet pics are live and much much more zoomed in... Nebula pics are with much longer exposures and much less zoomed in
    2
  1384. Awesome, 😁😁😁
    2
  1385. yep
    2
  1386. jolly good old thing ;-)
    2
  1387. awesomeness 😁
    2
  1388. no its not possible i made the whole thing up🤣 but seriously light pollution has no effect on the planets as they are so bright... deep space is another story
    2
  1389. 6inch dob is good, From the city the planets and globular clusters and open clusters are best. good luck
    2
  1390. cool, i likes it when non nerds enjoy the vid
    2
  1391. I'm coming over😜
    2
  1392. hey helena hope you likes it😁
    2
  1393. cool
    2
  1394. Awesome😜
    2
  1395. ahh so kind thank you 😁👍❤️
    2
  1396. ahh thx very much. Money is indeed tight to very much appreciated.
    2
  1397. gr8 ideas. there is software called autostakkert which does some but not all of what you suggest
    2
  1398. Yup
    2
  1399. If you have a telephoto lens then i suggest getting a startracker... Like a skywatcher star adventurer . If you want to do planets watch my jupiter saturn and mars video😀
    2
  1400. Good luck😃
    2
  1401. The stuff we're looking at is mind numbingly big... Just unbelievably massive.
    2
  1402. So hopefully I'll get back into astrobiscuiting in August when my current job comes to an end😜
    2
  1403. 😁
    2
  1404. With planets you justbpoint it with the finderscope you should be able to align the finderscope on the moon that is possivle to find with just the telescope even this one.
    2
  1405. Mars is going to be high in the autumn
    2
  1406. Oh my gosh... Time to buy some descent telephoto lenses. I would love to look at the stars in the deserts where they got their names.
    2
  1407. Got one now thx
    2
  1408. 🤣
    2
  1409. +declanwk1 thx fella, my birthays coming up so i might put that book on my bday present list (last year almost everyone bought me socks🤣)
    2
  1410. cheers Michael👍
    2
  1411. will do👍
    2
  1412. Yep sure😁 you will get great shots if the moon and pretty good shots of the planets c - see this vid as i used a cheap telescope to great great shots of jupiter https://youtu.be/pYsgyL7I8RI Also with practise you may be able to get some bright deep space objects but they will be harder... See this vid https://youtu.be/QO3V9wxHkUE
    2
  1413. next one dropping on sat😁
    2
  1414.  @jonviga  so I did have a look at it and i think that I could achieve the better results for much less money (like 900 quid) BUT I guess it could be good for someone without much experience... and it does look like it comes straight out of a sci fi movie which is a bonus
    2
  1415. Skyview
    2
  1416.  @ajoycemal29  cool
    2
  1417. Good for planetary
    2
  1418. thx mate👍
    2
  1419. 🤔i didn't know that was possible?

  1420. i threw away half of the bad frames
    2
  1421. thx m, this video is my fav but unfortunately it didn't do very well
    2
  1422. You use the camera's live view and turn the focuser till is sharp
    2
  1423. one coming v soon
    2
  1424. except this time when compared with thr newts😜
    2
  1425. Yes riktenstein did good
    2
  1426. Yes, but we can do NIR too
    2
  1427. hi Jon, Seben don't have a good reputation I'm afraid. do you mean 35mm eyepiece? I use skyview and intervalometer apps with mybphone6thx
    2
  1428. Hi ziyad... I will be doing a video about this at some point as im thinking of doing a lot of shorter vids that explain stuff like this...
    2
  1429. Must tell rik, thx😁
    2
  1430. I think 10x might actually be a bit sharper and more contrasty. even with the 7x I wouold say I would have benefited from a monopod ... unless lying down
    2
  1431. as worried from an animal cruelty standpoint?
    2
  1432. cool I'm glad👍
    2
  1433. cool
    2
  1434. ahh comon nasa is great, the world is lucky to have them. btw the funding really went down after the 70s too
    2
  1435. 9pm uk time
    2
  1436. AHH is that I ob one
    2
  1437. she cant be bothered to look into wolfram's idea properly. something about not believing that graphs? or was it pretty diagrams? can describe the universe.
    2
  1438. the old ones are the best
    2
  1439. tell me about it 😜
    2
  1440. Thx mate... I think i did upload it actually. Didn't win but still i am super pleased with it
    2
  1441. +Craig Oglesbee you're the man😜
    2
  1442. 😜
    2
  1443. i asked but they didn't respond
    2
  1444. Think riktenstein but richer!
    2
  1445. not yet. you have to hold it in.
    2
  1446. oh no, if this video does well I'll send you another one. Currently a bit skint tho.
    2
  1447. good to know thanks, anyone else had trouble using it?
    2
  1448. hey fella, yeh the blue channel still need the finge killer filter tho annoyingly... however narrowband is awesome
    2
  1449. Thx bud... I will have to catch that... Needs to be bright to see it in london😀
    2
  1450. Regular: 1-3sec exposures
    2
  1451. +DJ Gally yep😃
    2
  1452. not very good ones visionary HD I now have opticron imagic twa 7x50
    2
  1453. no eyepiece.... i must have missed it!
    2
  1454. +Uk2014Ch thx bud?
    2
  1455. yeh transport is a big thing with this.
    2
  1456. Hi Mr Pringle head. Depends what you want to do. If you want to photograph the planets then maks are a good option. If you want to shoot deep space - galaxies and such then refractors and newtonians are better. Either the102mm refractors or the 130mm PDS newtonian maybe. Be careful to avoid the non PDS newtonian b/c your camera will not reach focus unless you shorten the tube - which is what I had to do. All varieties can be placed on a skywatcher alt az goto mounts which IMHO are good value for money. I think celestron do some similar scopes and mounts. The probelm is ... if you get hooked then you'll want to upgrade to an equatorial goto mount. That's what happened to me and well, £3000 later...
    1
  1457. Thx Hon, I appreciate it. I'm currently finishing making a program for discovery channel about asteroids, when thats done I'll be posting some more.
    1
  1458. Thx buddy, i bet you've got a longer focal length which is much harder.
    1
  1459. Oh and regarding filter try and buy a cheap second hand nebula filter, I have a 1.25" one I can sell for 5quid but yes I was lucky with getting a 2" one for a fiver.
    1
  1460. thx norman.. M61 is on the list, might be one for Devon as galaxies are so difficult from London
    1
  1461. def not laughing. Riktenstien makes me laugh when he tries to point a scope at anything... that'd be a good video!
    1
  1462. you are not wrong and actually I believe astrophotography is too focused on perfection. A few aberrations add character
    1
  1463. Thankou bud much appreciated
    1
  1464. yeh I was working in June but also I'm sorry to say it takes ages to make a really good video. In tv land it takes 6 weeks to edit a 25 minute show.... and the big astrobiscuit missions take a similar amount of time for me to film and edit... this little one took a couple of days. i do wish there was a magic way of doing them faster.
    1
  1465. 🤣
    1
  1466. Yes i think so. I think the hard part is finding an intervalometer app. You could try nightcap app but im not 100% sure
    1
  1467. Cool. Please let me know if it has an intervalometer 😃 thx
    1
  1468. true🤣
    1
  1469. 😜
    1
  1470. thx ok well you'll need to leatn👍
    1
  1471. Wow that must have been incredible
    1
  1472. Fantastic... Good luck with it... I think dslrs give you a big bang for your buck. Nice big sensor... Much bigger than what your used to.
    1
  1473. thx fella
    1
  1474. Thx fella, I'll check the levels thx for letting me know
    1
  1475. AHH mate thank you❤️
    1
  1476. Well of the little startrackers I've only used the skywatcher star adventurer... And it's very good. Its on my website. https://www.astrobiscuit.com/easy-mobile-astrophotography
    1
  1477. I hear ya
    1
  1478. Will do and thx bud, that picture features in my next video
    1
  1479. I just left it as youtube's normal settings. I'll check it out. how many did you have to watch. was it more than one in the beginning and one in the middle?
    1
  1480. oh no
    1
  1481. 😂
    1
  1482.  @chrisnurse6430  no but its on the bucket list...
    1
  1483. BC he's not staying the night and I am
    1
  1484. yeh ibdid work in tv land as an editor
    1
  1485. +Pompey Monkey we're all totally bonkers😂
    1
  1486. thanking you most kindly
    1
  1487. you should check out my website budget section www.astrobiscuit.com
    1
  1488. thx bud, I might try and do some less astrophotography focused vids... more SPACE/UNIVERSE stuff
    1
  1489. yeay😁
    1
  1490. tut tut, your gonna have to do better next time🤣
    1
  1491. Hi yes its me. Thank you for buying the scope.
    1
  1492. agreed. FYI I believe the camera rotation is more important for framing the image. Short exposures and relatively zoomed in shots make field rotation not too big a deal, at least not for an individual sub.
    1
  1493. maybe... maybe you need to get better focus. use a more zoomed in lens or are you using a camera? if you're using a camera reduce the exposure... also jupiter is quite far away at the moment. it will get bigger
    1
  1494. 🤣🤣
    1
  1495. to be fair we only new about these lava flows since nasa's lunar orbiter did its thing... they just overstated how hard they are to see fron earth
    1
  1496. Very good. The scene where i talked about modifying the camera hit the cutting room floor along with other cool scenes. I do mention it in the blurb. So I paid andy at astronomiser to remove the ir filter. In the video If you add up how much i spent you'll see that its less 600 but actually i went about 20quid over bc of the money i paid andy. Phew! I confessed. I have done modified other cameras myself but on this one i ran out of time. Andy is very good and he cleans the sensor too.
    1
  1497.  @SonsofChivalry  Hey I just picked up a CN8. Lets exchange notes!
    1
  1498. All good in the end don't worry
    1
  1499. Yeh it is nice scope aint it😂 Lets sell it before the vid comes out. 😂😂 but im keeping mine for the moment.
    1
  1500. I actually crashed tje car on the icey lanes.. . Did you see the bonnet
    1
  1501. i think its cos not enough people hit the subs button
    1
  1502. Yep🤣
    1
  1503. Dont worry i spat it out again moments later. 😂😂😂
    1
  1504. hey man nice to hear from you as always! You supported me back when I had like 50 subs for a year!
    1
  1505. congrats👍
    1
  1506. lyaphine... ummmn if you are on ny discord server you could message her.
    1
  1507. Thx bud. Yeh pixel 4 with the skyview app is a pretty powerful combination
    1
  1508. thx bud😁
    1
  1509. hubble and r pupis off the tip of mu head
    1
  1510. well on this game im the lvp... but more rounds to come. 😂
    1
  1511. i saw a blue lake
    1
  1512. Be careful not to break the make up mirror... You need that🤣🤣🤣. English humour... Thx garnett, looking forward to your next vid. Its been cloudy for weeks here in london, i think our summer may be over. How is it your end?
    1
  1513. yeh but this scope is mine
    1
  1514. Awesome really glad you like it
    1
  1515. very true... the meade adventurer mount is pants... but the scope that comes with it is great and a real bargain
    1
  1516. yes... well affinity which is a bit cheaper but very good😄
    1
  1517. So jealous of anyone who can drive into the deep darkness of the outback. Tim was brought up in Perth and had a lot of mega dark skies on his doorstep
    1
  1518. 🤣
    1
  1519. bugger... I'm gotten out a loan to survive.
    1
  1520. It could be an artifact from my grading as i did bump up the saturation... Or is could be slightly different rock composition...
    1
  1521. Bunny has a hole in his undercarriage which keeps the pressure gradients to a minimum
    1
  1522. surely you should be at work now😂
    1
  1523. thx
    1
  1524. err flats and blow it off before shooting
    1
  1525. thx mate
    1
  1526. Good idea. make sure you can achieve focus with a camera before buying the mount. you can do this in the daytime
    1
  1527. Ha, thx, I'm actually about to export  part 2 off the computer... then I can upload it tonight,  lets hope it works and I don't get dragged into helping the kids with something ;-)
    1
  1528. better ring the bell i guess
    1
  1529. many thx shivercanada for your kind words. Makes it all worthwhile... more vids on the way so don't forget to subscribe!!!
    1
  1530. Good man. I bet your results are as good as mine if not better.
    1
  1531. Thx buddy 😁 another binocular video out tomorrow. Stay safe
    1
  1532. thx bud😁
    1
  1533. Good thoughts
    1
  1534. yeh probably its a newt right? but you might run into problems of not enough focus and you m8ght need a coma corrector if you have a large sensor camera, you migh be brst asking the community on my discord
    1
  1535. I think that's probably where physics is heading😆
    1
  1536. Do you mean the cricketer... he's approximately twice as tall as me!!! Of course i edge him on looks 😂😂😂
    1
  1537. 🤣thx bud
    1
  1538. 🤣thx for watching
    1
  1539. yeah, me too!
    1
  1540. Wow 8 pairs! Yes they get used more than the scope....
    1
  1541. oh when is that? should know of course.
    1
  1542.  @SatisfyingWhirlpools  cheers bud
    1
  1543. thc mate
    1
  1544. +Garnett Leary thx mate, much appreciated. 😀As you know it takes a serious ammount of time to make these shows... And im not working at the same place as rik now so getting em out is gonna be harder than ever🤥 still lets see what next year brings... For some unknown reason i want to keep on doing em😃
    1
  1545. thats fine... it is better.
    1
  1546. +Up to Atom thx bud😁
    1
  1547. Aye...

  1548. +Adam SMITH 😂
    1
  1549. Got some more now...
    1
  1550. Well they'll be here next week and you can preorder them
    1
  1551. Its a good scope😜 you'd be suprised what you can get with it
    1
  1552.  @Mike-mp8ce  well that might put abit of a dampner on it😂
    1
  1553. 😂
    1
  1554. yeh
    1
  1555. excellent, thx Stephan
    1
  1556. I just think it was hanging around... I'm allowed on my roof thank goodness
    1
  1557. good call
    1
  1558. I need to look into this. Got any links?
    1
  1559. but a c11 might get knicked in the hold. If a newt gets knocked its very fixable... also
    1
  1560. Me too 🤣
    1
  1561. awesome good luck Adrian.
    1
  1562. Will do but of course it doesn't matter with the planets...
    1
  1563. Brilliant. Tough target. Well done. Flats is the next most important thing you need to do to improve the images. They will make a huge difference allowing you to crush the blacks and push the nebula😃
    1
  1564. Ohh so near
    1
  1565.  @zazugee  i dunno, im not on telegram anyway. Yeh lucky imaging was done with webcams 20 odd years ago by folks like damian peach
    1
  1566. thx tom... Greenwich springs to mind.
    1
  1567. me too😭
    1
  1568. Yeh it is a bit quiet. Sorry
    1
  1569. cheers bud good info. I secretly hope this vid will get more people into observing the moon and your links will def help.
    1
  1570. Thanking you kindly!
    1
  1571. He was legend
    1
  1572. How sharp something looks depends on how magnified you ar, how wobbly the atmosphere is as well as the telescope your using and how steady the tripod is... And many other things
    1
  1573. Yeh bit late to this one. Perhaps not expecting one so soon (4weeks)😅 after the last upload
    1
  1574. so yeh asteroids can have moons but I don't know of any moon with a moon
    1
  1575. +Tony Phillips thx bud😃
    1
  1576.  @pg1171  already posted. its the £600 vs £6000 one 😀
    1
  1577. I wasn't into astro then... Sounds like it was amazing and also like I might see another one hopefully before I pop it
    1
  1578. 🤣🤣
    1
  1579. Thx bud... Yeh the phone works welk by itself😀
    1
  1580. travel scope is coming, i hope.
    1
  1581. that's gonna be tuff
    1
  1582. oh yeh. sept 11th... will book airfare for me rik and ceri when fundraiser ends
    1
  1583. +erodriguex2k thx fella🤣
    1
  1584. would you like me to stop you seeing videos from this channel. I think its quite easy to ban someone?
    1
  1585. hey mate hope you're good
    1
  1586. Thx bud... Yeh but its steadily growing😀
    1
  1587. Ooops
    1
  1588. thx for telling me and yes
    1
  1589. thx Lauren
    1
  1590. Awesomeness 😂
    1
  1591. Yep🤣
    1
  1592. I'll have to check, they might be better for moon than deep space
    1
  1593. It's a lacurta 12inxh f4. Not sure if they still make em
    1
  1594. Oooh the dark skies of the beacons... Fingers crossed the clouds part
    1
  1595. good luck
    1
  1596. yeh its sharp as anything and handles hi mag well but of course such a small aperture is never going to be that great on the faint stuff.
    1
  1597. Danny thx mate
    1
  1598. I just don't feel I'm quite nerdy enough to take on linux
    1
  1599. Sounds cool, I actually don't think the standard view is necessarily correct...
    1
  1600. Thx buddy😃
    1
  1601. I don't know what it is but those fuel cells are surprisingly common, I will try and capture one one day
    1
  1602. yeh id like to get on nebula
    1
  1603. That's kind of what happens only swap handbag for loads of plants
    1
  1604. sorry del in the cold light of day you will find I am a bit shite 😂 but Riktenstien is more shite 😂😂😂😂
    1
  1605. yeh nights are drawing in . I'm looking forward to filming more stuff if the clouds ever part.
    1
  1606. its confusing bc celestron don't make them anymore. ive listed exactly the same scope made in the same factory by ither comoanies on my website: about half way down. https://www.astrobiscuit.com/best-budget-telescope
    1
  1607. that means your laser collimator needs collimating... see the rig i use in the video. The focuser may be fine... there is a different check for that.
    1
  1608. 😂sorry... imagine how my head hurt during the interview
    1
  1609. do you mean anymore betty vids in 2025?
    1
  1610. the red suitcase is pretty much the largest size without being put in the oversized section.
    1
  1611. thx

    1
  1613. thx man...🤣
    1
  1614. I've heard not great things about the celestron travelscope.. but tbh I've not used it
    1
  1615. I make TV shows for a living and used to be an editor... But I've gotten out a loan and am hoping to do this full time. I have 10inch f6 newt now. Its very good.

  1619. At first i had a mac too... I ended up getting a pc bc there aint much astro software for macs... But you could check out astro pixel processor. I think that might work on pcs and macs
    1
  1620. No front lens, it's just a Newtonian. Design
    1
  1621. good luck😜
    1
  1622. sounds good,😄( let me see if i have a spare million behind the sofa)
    1
  1623. yeh... weird that discord doesn't work. we've changed how people land in the server niw...
    1
  1624. you're not wrong. I use a camera so the 1.25 adapter isnt in my imaginig train when i image.
    1
  1625. 🤣

  1629. yeh it is🙄
    1
  1630. cool I'm hoping to reach a wider audience👍
    1
  1631. yes he does
    1
  1632. 😂
    1
  1633. i feel your pain
    1
  1634. Thx for that. Much appreciated. You know I'd love to do this full time. Certainly patreon is something to think about if the channel grows bigger, this vid is doing way better than my others... I'll talk to Riktenstien.
    1
  1635. No the sensor is sealed so the cooler air just cools the electronics behind the sensor.
    1
  1636. All good points. Here is my thinking. newtonians are simple and easy to collimate if they get a knock. Therefore they make good travel scooes. Also they can be made to have smaller obstructions than an rc so are potentially sharper for the same aperture. Off axis rc do win due to lack of coma but on axis newts are a bit sharper.
    1
  1637. I'm not that familiar with reddit but sure go ahead. I did try posting my vids on reddit but they kept getting refused so I gave up... its be great for the channel to some precense on reddit.
    1
  1638. yeh I guess you have to really take your time choosing stuff rather than buy second hand, try it out and then sell it if the fit isn't good like I do... still once your set the dark skies must be awesome
    1
  1639. thx fella
    1
  1640. Thx so much bud, sorry I missed this earlier

  1656. wa you wan me go a foreign fi tan up?
    1
  1657. make sure you open the window first. the problem with it is its hard to polar align but it's fine otherwise. fine for visual astronomy...
    1
  1658. its actually quite hard and i have tried but baader solar film is cheap and so although its a bit conventional it is the best way
    1
  1659. Cool thankyou
    1
  1660. Don't poke the fire🤣
    1
  1661. If you have a digital camera and a 200mm or larger lens you can see jupiters moons and saturns rings...
    1
  1662. A sharp star will cover a single pixel. It's is a dot.

    1
  1668. ha yes... dunno
    1
  1669. thx 😄

  1680. cheers bud, I actually discovered a guy with a smaller 8inch sct Edge got it pretty good in infra red.
    1
  1681. Cool thx for the encouragement 😀
    1
  1682. yep refractor is what you need.
    1
  1683. 😁

  1685. spooky hopping at a distance🤣
    1
  1686. i think it'll be tik tok and discord
    1
  1687. Cool.
    1
  1688. yes i think it was military helicopters prwoling around stanstead airport but at the time i didn't have a clue what was going on.
    1
  1689. yes very good you spotted the floor... serious music and we'd have fooled you all ha ha(evil laugh)
    1
  1690. thx fella good tobknow😁👍
    1
  1691. Cheers
    1
  1692. Good idea but i don't think i can control it with a computer or at least astro software
    1
  1693. thx. it's a home made adapter and it's function in this instance is only to hold the phone flush to the scope so that the sky view app is pointing to exactly where the telescope is pointing.
    1
  1694. +Necromanczar thx fella... Its tough with work and family but comments like this makes me want to keep on doing it.
    1
  1695. not me🤣
    1
  1696. Me too
    1
  1697. 😂Very good
    1
  1698. sounds good. fyi we are gluing the primary now... 👍
    1
  1699. Jesus I had my car off all night long, I parked away from them, I only had the red light on while setting up.... I friggin did everything I could. They had red lights anyway
    1
  1700. thx fella, what kind of stuff did you work on?
    1
  1701. ? Ummm nope. I await slightly nervously...
    1
  1702. Yeh the cheap one has some internal reflection issues I think
    1
  1703. +Robert pendergast thx robert... Yes it is a bonkers hobby and no i didn't print the results... Ive done better ones since... Although first time is always the sweetest!
    1
  1704. they still work OK from where I live... and the cameras are getting better
    1
  1705. yes i think its a good idea
    1
  1706. We're meters not feet and miles not km... Don't ask me why
    1
  1707. awesome thx you can private message me on discord and tell me what you went for thx mate👍
    1
  1708. I'm not stupid enough to know that you're a tw🤣t 🤣🤣🤣
    1
  1709. yeh had some technical and pandemic issues but hoping to finish the shoot off next clear moonless night we have.
    1
  1710. Thx craig...
    1
  1711. hey😁really appreciate that mate. T H AN K Y O U👍
    1
  1712. thx 😁
    1
  1713. stop laughin😭
    1
  1714. There are 60 aec seconds in an arc minute and 60 arc minutes in a degree. You can find out a bit more on this page under the how much wobble can i get away with section : https://astrobiscuit.com/best-performing-mounts/
    1
  1715. also longer newts have smaller secondaries and therefore better resolution...
    1
  1716. well please join the BAT if you do!
    1
  1717. Why is bodmin Moore darker?
    1
  1718. Well said
    1
  1719. Yes... It was a write off... Mrs biscuit very pissed off with me. Had to drive back to london at 40mph. Lost a lot of cash at tje worst time but everything turned out good, this is my most successful video yet
    1
  1720. oh
    1
  1721. Hey fella. THX I've enjoyed your vids too!
    1
  1722. app is called Windy
    1
  1723. Its covered in a cloud
    1
  1724. +Godfraind Nicolas thx mate fingers crossed eh😜
    1
  1725. varies depending on who shot it and what gear they had. Ccd cameras tend to need longer exposures than cmos...
    1
  1726. me too
    1
  1727. +Justin Baldwin 😀hee he good word!
    1
  1728. thx bud
    1
  1729. wow you know him?
    1
  1730. no you need to average out the random noise. the noise on a duplicate is not random its fixed.
    1
  1731. yeh she's alright😂
    1
  1732. why not go for budget and see if you get into it?... if you do that st80 budget scope you can keep as a chuck in your rucksack travelscope. But do try and get a half decent tripod.
    1
  1733. Intervalometer by mobile photon for android
    1
  1734. +Ziyad EL-GHAZI phone htc u11 binos: visionary hd 7x50
    1
  1735. Good idea
    1
  1736. Yeh
    1
  1737. Both scopes had the same FOV so I think it is valid.
    1
  1738. cheers tony
    1
  1739. +WMS Shadow Gracias por venir y gracias Dross
    1
  1740. agreed and appreciate it bud, do message me on patreon or discord if you have any questions... (the other networks I'm a bit flakey on)
    1
  1741. aye
    1
  1742. Good news 😜 im thinking about getting out a loan and doing this full time.
    1
  1743. Working on one vid now... But clear skies are few and far between...
    1
  1744. I actually agree that we don't really know
    1
  1745. so many people say that🤣
    1
  1746. +Riktenstein thx felix, yes he's not too shabby... Rik do you think felix has the correct spelling for richtenstein?😜
    1
  1747. true... Ive actually caught the laser. I wonder if they're designed to be not TOO dangerous. Hope so.
    1
  1748. ha, yes...
    1
  1749. Thx jason. I was lucky that the atmosphere was pretty still that night.
    1
  1750. +Steven Sturgill thx buddy😀
    1
  1751. very cheeky... I did it to get views. totally guilty.
    1
  1752. Yeh you can get thrse images. you'll need a x 3 or x4 or even x5 barlow
    1
  1753. Oh and sorry i don't kmow about the nikon... Does it shoot video using just the middle pixels of the sensor?
    1
  1754. yeh they are great. it shouldn't be long
    1
  1755. 😁👍
    1
  1756. I dont agree with everything you say. I think you need to check you fully understand secondary mirror offset. I must admit ive no idea why folks barlow their laser. Perhaps you could enlighten me. I see no advantage over a well collimated regular laser...
    1
  1757. Yup... Need to get biscuiting
    1
  1758. +Jerzy Paluch hi jerzy, ive only heard of belt mods on equatorial mounts...
    1
  1759. it is complicated, at the moment we're stacking stacks butnin the future we may start stacking calibrated subs... but the scioes need to be similarish quality
    1
  1760. what mask?
    1
  1761. Thank you! Cheers!
    1
  1762. Ah thx mate... Tis an oldie
    1
  1763. yes it is
    1
  1764. thx😁
    1
  1765. cheers Joseph much appreciated👍
    1
  1766. Thx perfect shot. Always keen to hear feedback. Can i ask you a question... Are you an astrophographer and if so what level are you at. Im trying to gauge if non astrophographers would be interested. Many thx Rory
    1
  1767. 🤣funny
    1
  1768. Just to keep it simple, bear in mind the aperture of the newt is much bigger and yet both scopes pictures end up with the same fov
    1
  1769. 🤣cool quid to bucks calc
    1
  1770. ha one of many!
    1
  1771. ummmn.... https://youtu.be/7_CgfM6yN78
    1
  1772. editing is my talent (not astro!)
    1
  1773. ahh thx for buying 🙏👍❤️
    1
  1774. russians make great optics
    1
  1775. you can still join the discord server just not the BAT
    1
  1776. They were HD visionary but in all honesty they were very cheap. Celestron does better cheap 7x50 binos
    1
  1777. Ahhh thx mate very much appreciated
    1
  1778. 😂unless you live in london like me. Yes you have to be bonkers to do astrophotophy but in the last 20 years the revolution IS astrophography and it IS getting easier to be even clearer🤣
    1
  1779. no you got it the wrong way round... a static camera tripod would track a geostationary satellite perfectly.
    1
  1780. actually I just got out a loan so I can make more
    1
  1781. I actually want to try that
    1
  1782. i think your talking about a fifferent video
    1
  1783. me too... Anyone? 🤣
    1
  1784. The biggest problem we have in uk is the weather. Please watch my interview with damian peach to understand why. https://youtu.be/SfrA_z1F0JY
    1
  1785. bars should go on the list... 😂
    1
  1786. philistine... what about the how to do it bit😂
    1
  1787. don't worry more astro loo roll vids coming...
    1
  1788. Oh goodey👍hope so
    1
  1789. Errr... How do you know?
    1
  1790. Yep, your not the first to point this out .. I'm saying the moon was arlt perigee
    1
  1791. 🤣
    1
  1792. It's too late. Sorry. Tbh I was late realising I could see it from London. By 23 July it was almost gone from the northern hemisphere...
    1
  1793. its been terrrible
    1
  1794. Awe thx trevor... This video has gone really well, I'm thinking about taking a bit of time out from the day job and seeing if its possible to do this full time😉 thx for sitting thru the adds
    1
  1795. There is a link to them in the blurb😜
    1
  1796. Err ok sorry the text under the video
    1
  1797. Thx @Garnett much appreciated. If you don't know and you're reading this then check out garnettes brilliant channel. Fyi I am going to try and post a link on cloudy nights later... When i get better internet connection - on hols in ireland at the mo. 😉
    1
  1798. ummn the mulky way is very wide so maybe binos and planets are super zoomed in, so maybe a long focal length newtonian but im afraid i can't do both in one package
    1
  1799. less wind =less wobbles in the atmosphere
    1
  1800. +Edwin Wiles good idea i hadn't thought of that😜
    1
  1801. Not properly yet....
    1
  1802. Yes. I have some suggestions on my website btw
    1
  1803. er not green screen but I may have tried to composite some sky in from my camera when with longer exposures
    1
  1804. depends on the scope, how dark it is and how good your eyes are
    1
  1805. I'm sorry I can't remember...
    1
  1806. ok thanks... clearly im confusing the two🤔
    1
  1807. Yeh cos I don't have much to do apart from filming, editing, scripting, coordinating, promoting, website, prints, astro advice, FB, insta, twitter...
    1
  1808. so sorry I missed this. Thx Capt. Very much appreciated.
    1
  1809. +mark b its 2 days old. Well i opened the packaging 2 days ago
    1
  1810. errr.... did you see the vid? actually maybe the one that looks like a penguin.... anyone remember tje name?
    1
  1811. good idea the only problem is size, i think the heron would have to be many km away to be that small in front of mars
    1
  1812. here here😁amazing
    1
  1813. Tis an excellent but sorrowful song
    1
  1814. Yes I said it BC I was worried folks wouldn't know what exo systems are.
    1
  1815. yes I have set the voice changer to wierd and a bit gay sounding mode🤣
    1
  1816. Quite possibly... You may be able to get up to 20seconds... Did you see this vid aboit leveling the mount and aligning? https://youtu.be/7_-EBeRapyU
    1
  1817. Good to know
    1
  1818. £1500

  1819. Its rik's music... Rik are you there?🤔 You can probably find the tune in rik's bandcamp link below
    1
  1820. cool thx😁
    1
  1821. cheers Rob, yeh fog is good. who'da thunk it. Not so good for deep space but for planets and sun and moon it's a good sign.
    1
  1822. yeh pretty sure most of the dealers ship
    1
  1823. i thinj your right. it was near stanstead airport
    1
  1824. I removed the filter from my 1000d. check out Gary honis website. you don't have to mod the camera. it'll work fine on galaxies and reflection Nebula without it. it is good to mod though if you can bc then you can image hydrogen rich emission Nebula like orion
    1
  1825. ha... i think hes saying itnexists at some level just not in anyones virtual reality headset...
    1
  1826. 8 inche diameter produces a star that is 0.8arcseconds big if everything is perfect. Which of course it isn't. 16inches givers you 0.5arcsecond stars ... It's as simple as that. Double your aperture half your airy disc size. The theory is simple but of course there is more to it like obstructions, etc...
    1
  1827. oooh good guess
    1
  1828. Ok so heads up Saturday for the next vid
    1
  1829. Hi Ziyad just google "deep sky stacker download and you'll get it "
    1
  1830.  @Ironra  😂😂😂
    1
  1831. 6.5 billion years🤣 surely everyone knows rhat🤣
    1
  1832. +James71695 thx buddy... Yeh i think people learn a lot of stuff without even realising it
    1
  1833. Hmmn
    1
  1834. ah thx mate
    1
  1835. Well it's a bit of effort...
    1
  1836. I also find it cringey😂
    1
  1837. One day series not going so well is it😂 Ummn finding an undiscovered asteroid ain't easy although I know a bloke in London who's now got one named after him
    1
  1838. Err my headlamp or the moon?

  1841. C9.25😁
    1
  1842. Yeh i was pleased. Andro would be good if i weren't in london. I did shoot andromeda with my phone and a pair of binos from darkest devon... That was a fun one. Thx for the support skyprop most appreciated 😊
    1
  1843. he hee, yeh not my finest moment!
    1
  1844. the weather was terrible as i was building it so i think the real reason was that i hired a c14... my bad
    1
  1845. no probs 👍
    1
  1846. yes im really interested to see how a goto alt az mount performs. i think it could be incredible.. I'm also interested to find out why the a2 print didnt work so that i can improve my website(its all been a real pain to set up so far🤣) maybe I'll email you.
    1
  1847. is your name rob?
    1
  1848.  @mrtreevis  hi mate I've looked into it anf i really don't know what is wrong other that suggesting you make sure the currency is set to gbp. I fear that if indick around with paypal everything will fall apart. Btw we have some knowledgable members in the bat who know stuff about remote imaging etc...
    1
  1849.  @mrtreevis  it might well not be you. Payment is sooo complicated that it could be a bug on my site that i don't know how to fix. If you accidentally buy another one and it won't refund you I'll make sure you don't loose the £👍
    1
  1850. Don't get the bunny, barely house trained😜. And there are a thousand things to get right and you need good weather before you get a descent astrophoto. No quick solution you just gotta keep at it. And then when your set up is working its all golden.
    1
  1851. Our pleasure!
    1
  1852. yes thatbwould be better. the red devil is too slow for that
    1
  1853. +Kian Robinson oh yes... Did you see my binoculars and mobile phone vid. I was blown away on dartmoor. Amazing.😃
    1
  1854.  @kiannjames1342  50x7 not too zoomed in is best
    1
  1855. doh... its so obvious when you know it
    1
  1856. Maybe not... What do ya think it was?
    1
  1857. Yeh so the FOV was the same for both scopes... so the bigger aperture and bigger sensor did collect more photons
    1
  1858. Im much better looking🤣🤣🤣
    1
  1859. Cool. Should be good
    1
  1860. Intervalometer app for Android
    1
  1861. each to their own huh😁
    1
  1862. Oh no... I dropped my £1700telescope and damaged it recently
    1
  1863. If I'd had the dollally I surely would have
    1
  1864. unfortunately I think it's not possible to see the moon landings...
    1
  1865.  @deathstarHQ  but believe it or not it is something I'm desperate to try and do!
    1
  1866. i bet its like Amazing😜
    1
  1867. Oh thx bud😁
    1
  1868. Ahhh thx bud sorry I missed this
    1
  1869. ha! I actually worked for the same company thant made what on earth. And yes bats is a good one. And I saw a bat for the first time in London a few weeks ago
    1
  1870. no... they're pretty small comparitively
    1
  1871. I think it's bc I'm too good looking 😂
    1
  1872. Well i don't think so, the guiding graph from the guide scope was wobbly too... But hey its possible
    1
  1873. next time😜
    1
  1874. Its moving...
    1
  1875. COOL!
    1
  1876. yeh i think so... might require a longer exposure than id normally use for staturn but yeh
    1
  1877. no not really bc its not finished yet.
    1
  1878. I normally use backyard eos... Its possible on this one i used a free windows program. I think it was called something like eos video record. Fyi its much better to record the video onto a computer as the camera compresses the video when recording directly to the flash drive on the camera
    1
  1879. well sign up to tje bat on my website and I'll be in touch in Sept when we kick off again.
    1
  1880. yeh a lot of people gave me grief on fb for saying ufo... thx 😜
    1
  1881. i made it
    1
  1882. cheers dennis,
    1
  1883. 😂
    1
  1884. Hmm... I'm afraid your problem is the focus point from your mirror is not high enough above the focuser. I had a similar problem with a little 130mm newt and ended up chopping the tube down a bit.
    1
  1885. Try moving the mirror closer if you can with the adjustment screws and test on a distant object in the daytime.
    1
  1886. OK good. At least you don't have to chop the tube. Get a ruff ficus in the daytime before you head out at night. We've all been there BTW.
    1
  1887. No😓
    1
  1888. I did try
    1
  1889. it's riktenstien's version of holst
    1
  1890. Yep... bloody stupid hobby this. But don't fret mercury is a tidgy little dot. Donwknow what all the fuss is about 😆
    1
  1891. Yup 😄
    1
  1892. 🤣 I don't believe you but shooting with that c9. 25 must be tricky. you are so zoomed you really are in the realms of hard core astrophotography
    1
  1893. 😂
    1
  1894. We've already made one for a vx12L... So come along. Message me on sale@astrobiscuit.com
    1
  1895. achieving it is a pain🤣 especially as im not very proficient
    1
  1896. It makes no difference to me if you don't want to watch... Also bear in mind that everything is moving in elliptical orbits so distance aren't static, but I did get the moon graphic wrong.
    1
  1897. everyone says that... actually it's probably quite a good thing.. I should get a hamster haircut
    1
  1898. Its called intervalometer and its an android app
    1
  1899. Aye🤣
    1
  1900. Oh sorry... Mine works but it is flakey. I open it after I have the camera set and don't switch out of it bc that's when it crashes
    1
  1901. Pleasure😁
    1
  1902. maybe press the bell...
    1
  1903. Are you visual or astrophotgraphy as well
    1
  1904. ​ @Chamsdlr  Sounds good. Tricky though the AVX will deliver less than 2 arcseconds wobble whilst guiding but is too expensive for you... http://bit.ly/AVXEU The EQ5 will probably not guide as accurately but is in your ball park. Some people have gotten their eq5's to sing tho... http://bit.ly/EQ5EU If you do buy new I'd be greateful if you used my links. Thx
    1
  1905. It's got really bad Dec backlash which makes it hard to calibrate guiding
    1
  1906.  @Chamsdlr  Eq5 is a dark horse... some people have stripped them down and regreased them and gotten them to guide really well. I actually had the smaller eq3 and used it successfully unguided my 130mmf5 newt.
    1
  1907.  @Chamsdlr  yeh it is my preferred mount. Dunno if you saw my web page... https://www.astrobiscuit.com/mid-level-astrophotography-rig
    1
  1908. 12inch newt
    1
  1909. Yeh im looking out for a cheap 6d
    1
  1910. cheers Michal enjoy...
    1
  1911. I bought my st80 second hand and the stickytape between the lenses had slipped and it was terrible. When I fixed the spacing by fixing the tape it was suddenly brilliant. I suspect the quality of the st80 depends very much on the air spacing being right. My guess is most st80's are good but you may have the odd crap one. ED glass helps with astrophotography (to avoid purple halos chromatic aberration) and when you are very zoomed in (to avoid the same ). The bigger the lens the more obvious chromatic aberration becomes. I think for visual the st80 is fine
    1
  1912.  @hfritz8589  if you buy new the airspacing will be fine. Its the thickness of the sticky tape. ED glass will be better. If you can afford it go for it. Probably costs twice as much. Probably will make the scope 10% better... but much more worthwhile for astrophotography. If you want to spend more maybe get a bigger scope?
    1
  1913. there is a tab next to the description for the frames and they should work for US but please double check before buying. thx👍

  1917. Thx aditya, sorry i cant sell you the camera, i broke it whilst trying to fit a cooling system into it. 🙁 but if you can get hold of a camera the mod to remove the ir filter isn't too hard and there are good videos on how to do it on youtube.
    1
  1918. C9.25 but the seeing was bad and mars was low.

  1929. +Terry Brooks thx buddy happy xmas😃

  1930. Hey neotheone, its a pain when they won't stack. i can't remember the settings im afraid. Dark frames help get rid of the hot pixels which can be mistaken for stars and in dss you want about 50 stars to register on each frame which means playing around with the settings. Hope that helps... But it could be something else. In truth there are approximately 10million things that can go wrong😀
    1
  1931.  @theone7265  flattening as in using flats... yes absolutely. Flats are important.

  1932. 🤣

    1
  1939. yrs i sctually hsd a section on there about the sct but it hit the cuttinv room floor. It has a fantasticbpower to weight ratio and the hd edges are virtually apochromatic and its a great all rounder
    1
  1940. if you join up you'll find out😁
    1
  1941. and you bud thx😁
    1
  1942. is it bc he's short, annoying and cheap😜
    1
  1943. thx🤣
    1
  1944. I thought it was spinning, but it could have been something else

  1948. true..
    1
  1949. 😂tbh it is pretty bonkers doing astro here... actually the hole of the UK has been under cloud for monyhs
    1
  1950. yeh next 3 vids will involve telescopes.
    1
  1951. tbh i love nasa. and they did say that line 10 years ago before modern astro cameras with low read noise were on the scene.
    1
  1952. cheers bud
    1
  1953. Oh god i want to... My job full on job has overrun but will be over in a few weeks

    1
  1955. aw thx👍
    1
  1956. Wow. I know people who knew sir patrick. He was an amazing force for astronomical good. I personally don't think we are similar but very honored that you think we might be.
    1
  1957. mount is the most important
    1
  1958. glad your glad... and this vid is doing well so I'm thinking about taking a bit more time off work and doing some more]#
    1
  1959. yeh thx, I'll look into it
    1
  1960. 😁hee hee thx
    1
  1961. true
    1
  1962. it was from China and tbh it wasn't very good.
    1
  1963. I'll have to look them up
    1
  1964. Yeh but I'd get bored out of my head editing just me talking... I am an editor at heart.
    1
  1965. Yes I made a friggin mistake....jeeeze shoot me
    1
  1966. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
    1
  1967. Ok, in tje next video i try and spot another solar system...
    1
  1968. Cool...
    1
  1969. well you probably need to take a longer exposure.... but then the stars will trail so to solve that you need to think about some kind of tracking mount. Look up "barn door tracker" if you want to do it cheap.
    1
  1970. sorry but i think you (and loads of others) have got into a pickle. The only tilt i worry about is if the cameras sensor is tilted with respect to the primary. The secondary mirror is flat. It is optically inert. It just changes to angle the light travels from the primary.
    1
  1971. or its possible im not understanding you right.... if so sorry
    1
  1972. Yeh man... Can you i mean bunny do a cameo on the next? Or are you too busy?
    1
  1973. Ah buddy thank you so much
    1
  1974. Skywatcher st80
    1
  1975. wish I knew about it 5 years ago too!!!
    1
  1976. where abouts are you based? missed all the good stuff.
    1
  1977. Unless you disguise it as a water butt...?
    1
  1978. no its just a clickbait title... i hope it is anyway🤣
    1
  1979. I might get the p40. A lot of people have mentioned the Nikon but ive never tried it.
    1
  1980.  @cariza5  thx for the advice... what do google services do?
    1
  1981. Phew 😅

    1
  1984. each to their own huh
    1
  1985. Aye
    1
  1986. You should be able to see jupiter with it... Anyone else reading this should get the Meade adventure scope instead link below
    1
  1987. thx. they're teenagers now so im not too worried.
    1
  1988. no sorry but I should look into that as I have a lot of questions from guys and gals in india.
    1
  1989. yes thx bud
    1
  1990. no probs
    1
  1991. googling Tony bellow now...

    1
  1994. Dunno
    1
  1995. +Lady 123 thank you 😃
    1
  1996. It wouldn't be so X2 when the seeing is so good. My primary source of blurring is the scope
    1
  1997. All very second hand😜
    1
  1998. Thx kurt
    1
  1999. Ha... It begins...
    1
  2000. uh oh. a virus maybe? 🤣
    1
  2001. yup😬
    1
  2002. ah man I've been doing a nightmare job... should end soon tho😁
    1
  2003. thx bud, you've been there huh. Yeh the gti is very good,
    1
  2004. Cool. Tbh i have spent almost all my time imaging and rarely look through them myself but that is going to change.
    1
  2005. he hee thx
    1
  2006. yeh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIqyPJQAgT4
    1
  2007. Oops,
    1
  2008. I now have the newer version which is WiFi... and controllable with my phone. much better. basically if you have everything level and the scope poi ting in the right direction it'll track jupiter fine
    1
  2009.  @PWBERRETT  yes it should track... and there is also a tracking button (the speed of tracking varies depending on whether your looking at the stars or the sun or the moon
    1
  2010. Ha😃 you need a strong light pollution filter and a bright nebula like orion. Good luck😁
    1
  2011. You might want to think anout removing the cameras it filter... Pretty much essential when shooting from a light polluted sight with a light pollution filter... http://www.12dstring.me.uk/350dmod.htm
    1
  2012. That should say ir filter not it filter😃
    1
  2013.  @strixblog  i didn't replace with a baader ir/uv filter. You don't need to, at least not on the 1000d. The camera has two glass filters, a greenish one and a clear one. The greenish one is removed. The clear one stays.i believe the clear one still removes enough ir to avoid star bloat and i wanted to do everything as inexpensively as possible. Also i use a light pollution filter which trims the uv and ir anyway. However if you don't replace with the baader filter then all your daytime photos will look red. And there is a tiny change in the focus distance when you use your canon lenses. Hope that helps. Good luck.
    1
  2014.  @strixblog  yep is good to use for astrophotography from light polluted areas. Trouble is it may cause vignetting unless you can somehow get it very close to the sensor. 2" light pollution filter or clip in light pollution filter would be better.
    1
  2015.  @strixblog  yep they would... just not as good
    1
  2016.  @strixblog  did my link say to replace with glass from a picture frame? I've never heard if that. Sounds like a bad idea to me.
    1
  2017. well then you have to hope its pointing straight... and if it is you're ok.
    1
  2018. Maybe a tiny alien space fleet on the lens?
    1
  2019. im afraid its not for sale but i can send it you for free digitally if you like.
    1
  2020. +Gael Hillyard yeh we had some breaks... for a minute or two and anyway i heard you guys had clear nights last week... probably used you your quota😃
    1
  2021. it is madness...
    1
  2022. Probably 🤣im a terrible speller, thx for watching
    1
  2023.  @JonGritton  my jupiter saturn mars vid uses a canon 600d, great for astro.
    1
  2024. aye. 😁
    1
  2025. hee hee yeh its amazing isnt it, nothing as urgent as the camera 😁👍i suspect the extra money will go towards a coma corrector... although there is one other thing which is very special which might now be possible. . David lukehurst the telescope maker has put by a rare optical flat for me which i was gonna buy when my ship came in... looks like the ship might be on the horizon 😁
    1
  2026. problems problem's I agree with the first one. I do get it right later, just a slip of the tongue I'm afraid. the galaxies are interacting tho. of course the word colliding is to get people excited and shouldn't be taken too seriously
    1
  2027. thx bud
    1
  2028. there is a difference between soft and hard ai. chatgpt requires human input and is soft. hard ai won't... also the ai lord ress is talking about would be interconnected with the brain...
    1
  2029. Yeah😀😀😀 thx bud, I'm having a little celebration.. By myself!
    1
  2030. well kinda done it now but that could work.
    1
  2031. True
    1
  2032. unless... i was a bit sneaky
    1
  2033. yes i was a dumb arse
    1
  2034. Well if I knew the answer then I wouldn't be stupid😂
    1
  2035. a small ed refractor probably like the skywatcher 72ed
    1
  2036. ok.. btw. did you watch the video?
    1
  2037. actually just ordered some bigger binos so I might well do another one
    1
  2038. Depends whether your talking planets, deepspace or widefield. The Dob is probably good for planets.
    1
  2039. Thx denny, Much appreciated. I hope others have the same attitude. fingers crossed.
    1
  2040. Do it😜
    1
  2041. i think you can find them on amazon. i should affiliate😅
    1
  2042. cheers jens
    1
  2043. Thank you😁
    1
  2044. yeh but a picture is quick... you can do stuff without a tracker. Stacking software and short exposures... see my cool pics with binos and phone video
    1
  2045. not so much🤔
    1
  2046. +Blapi Darious gulp🤢
    1
  2047. Ahh thx fella
    1
  2048. borg 60ed
    1
  2049. yeh 120 is great,(I have 2! - which i use for narrowband imaging) you'll see more stuff and you can zoom in more but when you zoom in more you will notice colour fringing (chromatic aberation)... its portable but not as portable as the st80
    1
  2050.  @Notchrhino55  not seen the mail. If you are doing astrophotography the rowan upgrade is worth it.
    1
  2051. also worth noting that if you're not doing astrophotography then the cheaper eq5 or even eq3 goto would work too... I have some links at the bottom of this video if you are buying new... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRoFUj0cNt8&t=379s
    1
  2052. yes i did🤣
    1
  2053. thx Mike, I tried a lot of stuff including topas, I think shooting on a truly calm night in lunar evening would be the best way of getting a really good pic. it will happen...
    1
  2054. Thx joye
    1
  2055.  @williamknol3787  https://astrobiscuit.com/discord/
    1
  2056. Wow what a great suggestion
    1
  2057. yes it's true sensors in the last 10 years are amazing... I think mobile phones have played a part in making them cheaper
    1
  2058. Thx
    1
  2059. Err it was f8 so 8x150mm=1200
    1
  2060. no i can't, anyway what does killing a galaxy mean. I'm just trying to get people to watch. i know this will probably make you livid but try and remember you didn't have to pay anything to watch it.
    1
  2061. Prints have sold out sorry
    1
  2062. Phone holders are a pain. I think my one came from china and is the best of a bad bunch. Im planning on doing review of them https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353073764760
    1
  2063. you try holding a camera sorting out sound presenting and then on top of that handling a telescope. I bet in 3 years you'd have a couple of accidents.
    1
  2064. probably the title of the film is too clickbaity for your liking. I want to reach a wider audience if i can. I'm not doing these films just for nerds. I'm not saying my plan is working just that is what im trying to do.
    1
  2065. AHH buddy thank you so much😁
    1
  2066. Thx, Riktenstien will be pleased too😜
    1
  2067. True

  2073. Errrr...
    1
  2074. @Astrobiscuit • 1 second ago so sorry I missed this. Thx dazza. Very much appreciated.
    1
  2075. oh yeh sounds great
    1
  2076. no its not🤣
    1
  2077.  @ngc-fo5te  im not although i didn't take into account the cost if the camera which i make very clear innthe video... no lying. try itnand you'll see.
    1
  2078. Yup it'll be nice on the planets
    1
  2079. Price seems fair
    1
  2080. madness. Makes such a difference. all extra money now going towards my solar video
    1
  2081. skyview😃
    1
  2082. you did ok🤣thx for subbing
    1
  2083. cheers roland, yes it did take a while to come!
    1
  2084. sorry Duane. lots of people don't like it. just watch something else.
    1
  2085. I think so
    1
  2086. Yeh I should do...
    1
  2087. no
    1
  2088. Yeh but I asked people to guess before they get to the end so thx. 😁
    1
  2089. maybe...
    1
  2090. yej good choice
    1
  2091. hmmmn...
    1
  2092. wow a lot of questions on this. your telescope A has a 63mm diameter and your telescope B has 62.5 mm diameter So if the image is the same size Telescope A wins by a tiny, tiny unnoticeable amount. My budget telescope has a 150mm diameter and my expensive telescope has a 100mm diameter. So my fatter budget scope will collect more photons. Bear in mind both have very similar focal ratios and although the budget scope has a longer focal length thanks to the canon 5d mark ii having such a big sensor both sensors end up covering the same field of view.
    1
  2093. thx Lee... one day mayne
    1
  2094. London😊
    1
  2095. Well I used to have trouble with my skywatcher az mount. then I discovered those mounts need to be pointing north and completely level when you turn them on... then everything works much better
    1
  2096. yeh... thx riktenstein but its true i do find it a bit of a challange to grow my whiskers.
    1
  2097. cool thx😎
    1
  2098. Yes it was modded and actually that section hit the cutting toom floor. The fan is just a computer fan blowing air into a hole at the base of the camera... Nothing more
    1
  2099. awesomeness thx for watching
    1
  2100. +anthony mark yeh looks a bit like mercury passing in front of the sun but cant be as mercury isnt near mars at the mo

    1
  2138. hey Gary thx for watching my vids
    1
  2139. Your right i got good deals and they didn't fall in my lap i gathered them up over about 4months. The prices quoted at the begining are also what i paid for the expensive set up. Much if which is second hand. At the time i thought i had got good deals🤣
    1
  2140. big difference to the 8 inch... ummn small difference in sharpness of the planets and less zoomed in on deep space
    1

    1
  2146. Ummn not great ones tbh... I cant remember the name. ... Hd visionary i think. The opticron tga 7x50 i used in the next bino video are way better. There is a link to them in tue description
    1
  2147. thx bill 😂
    1
  2148. stellina would perform much better away from the light pollution and it would be much harder to beat her
    1
  2149. +WhatNot Zone hi mate... I think your set up is good... When im back from my hols lets run through it in more detail, could just be a couple of small things you need to do to get it singing.
    1
  2150. lots of people say that... but I'm taller and better looking😂
    1
  2151. yeh 130pds is gr8

    1
  2158. it is all a massive pain to begin with... and also full of disappointments. TBH this is a bonkers hobby... but occasionally its gold.

  2172. yeh worth a go...
    1
  2173. that was a mistake... no one is s'posed to know about the high nerd
    1
  2174. yeh they done good
    1
  2175. thx i hope this is fixed now
    1
  2176. wow in the uk?
    1
  2177. +yallaskate yep jupiter will be back next year. Good luck
    1
  2178. yeh i did up the satuation on the video but to be fair the planet does look similar with the naked eye... better even bc you can see the moons too... the camera has much less dynamic range than the eye
    1
  2179. sounds like your hooked👍good luck
    1
  2180. ok next best place to go is www.stargazerslounge.com - again everyone is super friendly but its not as chatty as fb.
    1
  2181. a new on would be v expensive, currently trying to mod an old one😄
    1
  2182. ok
    1
  2183. mr crazy pointed it out to me in a text message before the meeting.
    1
  2184. thx man, yeh i think it deserves more too... 🤣its my best film but annoyingly not a particularly popular one.
    1
  2185. FYI Jupiter's distance varies
    1
  2186. resolution resolution Resolution, Im trying to match the RESOLUTION. Obviously I'll never natch the pgoton gathering oowers of a 4m wide mirror
    1
  2187. f6. 3
    1
  2188. Ummmn long story... But the mount i was using for this is too small and i didn't want to dwell on it. AVALON Linear fast reverse.
    1
  2189. Err prob pixinsights stf
    1
  2190. cool merci Mon copain... probably spelt copain wrong 🤣 trying to say friend
    1

    1
  2192. What he said😂 thx iridescent eye
    1
  2193. i have a few mentiined at the bittom of this webpage alsoa high quality video camera tripod isnt a bad optionhttps://astrobiscuit.com/best-budget-telescope/
    1
  2194. well that'd be nice
    1
  2195. btw I didn't recommend the celestron travel scope. If anyone else is reading this my recommendations are here: www.astrobiscuit.com
    1
  2196. Happy new year
    1
  2197. coo thx for watching
    1
  2198. Yeh it's a bit too full on I think
    1
  2199. its just more expensive on the plane...
    1
  2200. Thx Buddy
    1
  2201. +Notts boy24 thx m8😁
    1
  2202. errr... like who?
    1
  2203. Did you see what had happened to me the day before I went to la Palma https://youtu.be/nbjNM-BofWE I mean jesus... It was a bonkers last minute trip...
    1
  2204. yeh stellina would do better in a dark setting
    1
  2205. er well they are more like interacting than colliding but yes in a few billion years the galaxies will have merged.
    1
  2206. Thx
    1
  2207. That was a test B4 going up the volcano... So I did the right thing by testing it no?
    1
  2208. AHH thx I appreciate that
    1
  2209. too kind thank you
    1
  2210. thx reece

  2214. riktensein is a bit of a genius... but dont tell him
    1
  2215. Thx bud
    1
  2216. Well it's 6 still images shown one after another so yes...
    1
  2217. ♥OMG thank you so much. That is really generous. I hope you have a wonderful day.😁😁 FYI All proceeds will go towards the next video.
    1
  2218. err...
    1
  2219. It's astrobiscuit
    1
  2220. I like you a lot 🤣
    1
  2221. 🤣
    1
  2222. yeh thatd be perfect😄
    1
  2223. Yeah😜
    1
  2224. its a good scope... and yes try not to get sucked in like me!
    1
  2225. 2 x thx mate😂
    1
  2226. i often shoot in my mum's back garden, i did write it up. in a blog too and its also in the tease fir this vid
    1
  2227. Cheers luke, glad u likes it😜
    1
  2228. Ha.... Cool 😃
    1
  2229. Ha.... Cool 😃
    1
  2230. bc it takes me ages to make a vid
    1
  2231. +RikFastly nice one rik. now you're ready to pop out to the desert.
    1
  2232. Cheers fella... And thank you to you for giving me such positive feedback😀 good luck with it
    1
  2233. good shout
    1
  2234. 😱
    1
  2235. thx I knew I'd pronounced it wrong!
    1
  2236. +Aditya Kinjawadekar thx mate its all masterminded by the pink one
    1
  2237. Yes your totally right i messed up in the intro... I think its like 3million ly away. You did well to get m51 with a mak😀
    1
  2238. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 made me laugh out loud
    1
  2239. cool 👍
    1
  2240. It is isn't it? Might be moving a bit in the wind but its not movingvat 1000s of mph like non geostationary satellites🤔
    1
  2241.  @stevenfoley8245  of course a beer the next time you swing past north london
    1
  2242. I didn't get on with my samyang (rokinon) 14mm. I suspect the sigma art 14mm is the best but I haven't been able to afford it. My sigma art 50mm lens is absolutely fantastic. Very nice sharp stars to the edge but obvs not wide enough for your purposes
    1
  2243. Oh no the sigma 14mm is good for milky way. Samyang 135mm for orion Nebula.
    1
  2244. dunno... maybe something weird happened when I imported the video file. probably different aspect ratios
    1
  2245. coooool
    1
  2246.  @Stella-j5o3h  yeh someone else said that
    1
  2247.  @TheDrummist88  ahh thx mate😁
    1
  2248.  @geert5811  yeh probably should stay away as I expect there'll be some strong reactions. 😂
    1
  2249.  @shadowblack1987  well thooft pulling out didn't help...
    1
  2250. unfortunately no
    1
  2251. gosh I went to a lot of trouble to fake this🤣
    1
  2252.  @Riktenstein  sorry Rik I didn't want to spoil your christmas... btw father christmas is fake too
    1
  2253. Petty... (said in a condescending tone😂) FYI I don't think it's an alien but it wasn't fake
    1
  2254. Splashback plop😂
    1
  2255. im at my mums have you tried googling it... m82 is the name of the galaxy
    1
  2256. found it, please try youself next time as i get 100s of comments. https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/30856#:~:text=The%20clusters%20in%20the%20clumps,up%20to%20a%20million%20stars.

  2257. I'm sure you can manually point it but I had to give it back
    1
  2258. Thx buddy would love to but v busy at work till spring. (can afford more telescopes now! 😃)
    1
  2259. Good idea🤣
    1
  2260. Watching YouTube vids, reading everywhere!

  2263. ahhh thx buddy really appreciate it
    1
  2264. +Jens Lankamp hi jens, just google it and you should find it. I think photoshop gave up monitoring the licensing this old version and turn a blind eye to it rather than it being legally free. If you ever owned a copy of ps in the past then you can use it with a clean concience tho😃
    1
  2265. Ahhbthx mate
    1
  2266. i think they'll say im too niche👍 fools😂
    1
  2267. +Vladimir Lenin well kind of... When i first saw the object i put a video out asking people what they thought it was... This next video tests everyones theories
    1
  2268. Big Refractors are harder ... To hard for me
    1
  2269. star collimation is still best as it'll account for things like camera sensor tilt.
    1
  2270. Thx man, I have to say I like astro backyard tho I don't watch all his vids. I think he's done a great job bringing this bonkers hobby to lots of people...
    1
  2271. #Metoo
    1
  2272. Good idea
    1
  2273. but at least I'm slightly taller🤣
    1
  2274. skyview for android
    1
  2275. yes very true
    1
  2276. Thx bud😜
    1
  2277. Thanking you kindly😜
    1
  2278. yes but whats the question
    1
  2279.  @RealmsOfThePossible  ah yes of course... it 42. u r a genius
    1
  2280. thx mike glad you liked it
    1
  2281. Aye
    1
  2282. well actually they can do other cool stuff with it
    1
  2283. Well I think they can have some collimation issues and so I am a bit wary...
    1
  2284. yeh well truth is I did oversaturate the blueness and other stuff pops out...
    1
  2285. Good luck
    1
  2286. wait till its closer
    1
  2287. I'll sleep when its cloudy ;-)
    1
  2288. good for you, i think those little newts might be particularly susceptible to bad seeing...
    1
  2289. er it is possible with short exposures. i think your not quite there with your logic. All stacking software aligns subs whether you are using and alt az or eq... You can do a thing called lucky imaging with an alt az... you'll need a low read noise camera tho... https://www.astrobiscuit.com/lucky-imaging-theory
    1
  2290. no, but I'm thinking about having a go
    1
  2291. thx mate
    1
  2292. thank you. I think the first upgrade might be a better tripod. I use orthoscopic eyepieces for viewing the moon and planets. my eyepieces are old and I bought them second hand.
    1
  2293.  @lisareimer5199  a 5mm eyepiece or there abouts for jupiter (x80) and for the deep space stuff less magnification is much better, maybe a 20mm eyepiece (x20) or even a 30 or 40mm eyepiece (x10)
    1
  2294. tbh there are lots on the web free to download. Just search whirlpool galaxy
    1
  2295. thanks mate much appreciated and I'm gonna cut up an old tent!
    1
  2296. 😂
    1
  2297. 🤣
    1
  2298. 🤣
    1
  2299. Yes... I got attacked by the little buggers again shooting jupiter this weekend.
    1
  2300. Well for deep space yes but for the moon and planets no
    1
  2301. will do
    1
  2302. Fair point... The telescope is a bit sharper but that is all
    1
  2303. Do you have any links... I've been thinking about optically flat glass but it's quite expensive
    1
  2304. The one I use was about 80quid🤣
    1
  2305. I think it was a processing srtifact
    1
  2306. thanks mate much appreciated
    1
  2307. Perfect
    1
  2308. 🤣
    1
  2309. noted, thx
    1
  2310. probably aliens😜
    1
  2311. these binos aren't that great. HD visionary was the name I think. I like ioptron 10x50s.
    1
  2312. 🤣
    1
  2313. Hmmmn.... Do you have a dslr camera?
    1
  2314. Pink Bunny. Bunny isn't a member of the biscuit clan but he tolerates our precense. He's never told me his real name...
    1
  2315. thx bud👍
    1
  2316. oh thx riktenstein🤣🤣
    1
  2317. I hear that.
    1
  2318. +Rattandeep Matharu this kind of thing is what you need😃 https://www.firstlightoptics.com/adapters/opticron-l-type-binocular-tripod-bracket-adapters.html
    1
  2319. 🤸‍♂️
    1
  2320. they're totally ai generated i asked ai to make a picture of my supporters holding a check in a 1950s style and thats what we got
    1
  2321. Yeh its v good for the money
    1
  2322. its not made anymore bist skywatcher st80 or orion st80 is the same.
    1
  2323. 🤣🤣
    1
  2324. Sounds good and I must check out that vid. thx for watching
    1
  2325. Yes Ive lot a lot on those subjects recently....
    1
  2326. the eye jas mich better dynamic range sonyou see the moons too... the camera is as sharp as the eye but yt compression means you see less detail in this vid which is unfortunate
    1
  2327. oh bollox, thx
    1
  2328. AHH mate thank you❤️
    1
  2329. Foolish but thx
    1
  2330. thx bud, i wing it technically and and did/do work in tv. good luck with the new house andnthx fornyour encouragement😊
    1
  2331. I spoke to a guy today who was building a tracking base http://www.budgetastronomer.ca/index.php?page=eq-platform Too much work for me tho
    1
  2332. Thx dave😂
    1
  2333. maybe... although the object didn't appear to be moving that much (it was the mount that was moving to keep[ up with mars)
    1
  2334. you see the variuos 80mm options on ny website www.astrobiscuit.com
    1
  2335. lucky you
    1
  2336. doh... so obvious when you know #kickingmyself
    1
  2337. oh no really. That is very disappointing but good to know!
    1
  2338. +Mars Aspen-Murray hee hee. Mostly🤣🤣🤣
    1
  2339. 😂Thx bud
    1
  2340. thx amon
    1
  2341. awsome thank you for sharing much appreciated. Astrophotography is a pain. Don't do it!!!!
    1
  2342. I'm having to focus on earning money unfortunately
    1
  2343. +Justin Baldwin awesomeness... Well done😆
    1
  2344. i shot the mirror scene before covid. you seem like a horrible person btw
    1
  2345. Cheers bud👍
    1
  2346. Thx Retesh most appreciated
    1
  2347. I hope you were able to stand down for a bit😂
    1
  2348. don't do it , this hobby is a nightmare😂 thank you for your support much appreciated
    1
  2349. +Notts boy24 on my way😀
    1
  2350. So kind thank you
    1
  2351. +gailz thx. Are you talking about looking through the eyepiece or taking photos? Fyi the skywatcher 10mm and 25mm aren't too bad.
    1
  2352. +gailz are ypu using autostakkert?
    1
  2353. Yeh you can shoot planets and moon with I'm sure
    1
  2354. always remember😂
    1
  2355. Thank you fella 😁
    1
  2356. yeh that'd be interesting
    1
  2357. 😂
    1
  2358. Ages ago... Around christmas. This video got delayed as it was supposed to ve part of something bigger... But the bad weather killed the big idea.
    1
  2359. i prove it cant be a bird. watch the video. or don't bc actually i dont care.
    1
  2360.  @joebidengaming191  sheeet, I feel bad now, apologies I thought you were a hater.
    1
  2361. Cheers bud😂
    1
  2362. 🤣
    1
  2363. oooh... I guess the rabbit keeps the serious people away which I like 😜
    1
  2364. thanks dude, most appreciated
    1
  2365. the HEQ5 wins... although its not a white wash
    1
  2366. i'm glad too... especially on that little mount
    1
  2367. Thx trist😁
    1
  2368. 4se is a cute scope and tbh might give a better view of the planets than the 130
    1
  2369. You're not wrong in what you have said but you fail to understand the full picture which in fact means you're wrong. Sorry to be the one to break it to you.
    1
  2370. Intervalometer app
    1
  2371. , 🤣
    1
  2372. thank you
    1
  2373. thx for the input. FYI a reflector is better than an sct for any given aperture essentially because the secondary is smaller.
    1
  2374. True but there are some things you can get in a light polluted area. Hercules globular cluster and orion nebula (although this is better somewhere dark or with a light pollution filter)
    1
  2375. will check it out thx 😁
    1
  2376. Well it's not great but the light pollution filters still help
    1
  2377. early evening you might catch orion nebula and early mornings the brightest star is likely to be jupiter which will look great.
    1
  2378. thx for watching
    1
  2379. Yeh I've done that now😭 hindsight is a wonderful thing
    1
  2380. Truly you are a strategic thinker😅
    1
  2381.  @Riktenstein  its like this guy has figured out our secret🤣
    1
  2382. are you saying it wasn't my fault🙄?
    1
  2383. And yet if you're a professional string theory is the only game in town...
    1
  2384. Ohbud thank you
    1
  2385. It is the android native phone app in pro mode combined with an app called intervalometer which simply triggers the shutter automatically 😜
    1
  2386. yes
    1
  2387. tracking motor was on
    1
  2388. I knew there was some reason for going back out in the rain. thx for watchig
    1
  2389. I'm sure you will☺️
    1
  2390. tbh light pollution doesn't matter on the planets
    1
  2391. ahh thx martin great to hear and thanks for becoming a member
    1
  2392. cool I'm glad😁👍
    1
  2393. Clearly you've never tracked Jupiter with an eq mount. And clearly you think that I edit these videos over night. Do you think real people live in the television?
    1
  2394.  @dorinlj  you do know that autostakkert automatically centres the planet so as long as you have the shot in frame it will stack. And you the the exposure time is super short... and you know the mount has a SLOW MOTION knob... I think the reason you annoy me so much is because you say I didn't do it. You are saying I'm a liar. But I did do it and it was not easy. Anyway this video will really piss you off because I shot Jupiter from a bean bag... not even a mount. HA. I hope you find it as annoying as I find you. Apologies to people reading this I should really just let the comment pass by. Not very professional is it... https://youtu.be/UhX1IPBd31g
    1
  2395. Thx bud much appreciated 😜
    1
  2396. finally someone gets it... its a biscuit😂
    1
  2397. are ypu talking about the thumbnail... its not even kitt peak. totally faked thumbnail im afraid.
    1
  2398. thanks mate much appreciated
    1
  2399. 👍😁
    1
  2400.  @Dogbreath1974  good question. Actually Hoffman is devising a network outside the VR headset based on consciousness. I don't think Wolfram really has much time for consciousness... and I in terms of his model I think the same questions about consciousness arise as to where we are right now
    1
  2401. thx mate, i must admit its quite tricky as they take so long to make and that on turn means the money is very tight.
    1
  2402. it was a bit too long to fit in the suitcase and the steel tube is heavy which means I'd need a bigger mount.
    1
  2403. Thx bud
    1
  2404. Thx michael
    1
  2405. thx fella😁
    1
  2406. it makes it about 10degrees cooler... the camera is like a little cooler and blowing air helps cool it down
    1
  2407. I will try and dig them out. I think if you search Ina, caldera d, apollo 17 you may find them. The lake is a pale blue. I used the saturation function to make the blueness stand out.
    1
  2408. 🤣 your the second to say that
    1
  2409. 😂
    1
  2410. cheers bud and yes editing is wot I is good at 👍
    1
  2411. I sometimes wonder whether they mistake big Bertha for a rocket launcher
    1
  2412. Lots of unpaved roads in the canaries
    1
  2413. cheers bud much appreciated
    1
  2414. Yeh true but the newer skywatcher alt az gti can be made to work in eq mode and it is amazing.
    1
  2415. Aye
    1
  2416. ummmn good visual scopes for dim deep space targets like galaxies are very big... in order to use them for astrophotgraphy you'd need to spend 5-10k on a big expensive tracking mount.
    1
  2417. Cool. If your phone has more than one camera you have to choose which camera to use, normally the one with the fastest lens and line up that particular camera with the eyepiece. Photos from your compact will stack in free deep sky stacker software which is also about 15 years old. 😁
    1
  2418. good 👍
    1
  2419. thx bud zeer gewaardeerd
    1
  2420. Yup
    1
  2421. yeh... but you know, one gets a bit flustered 😂
    1
  2422. +Jeff Lucas Astrophotographer ha ha that made me laugh... But Cool glad you liked it.😃
    1
  2423. You the distance change right? But yes
    1
  2424. yes... ummmn i guessing you haven't watched it.
    1
  2425.  @andrewpeck101  ha great, yeh I think I've spoken to @scott_manly bc I made some shows about asteroid day and he's one of their founding members. Very happy that my channel got a mention on his feed ;-)
    1
  2426. thx buddy take care and hny👍
    1
  2427. Thx michael... Hoping to get another big one out in the next few weeks... (takes a while to make them)
    1
  2428. Android in pro mode for the pics, intervalometer app for the intervalometer and skyviewpro (to find andromeda - but i didn't really need that last one!)
    1
  2429. 😂
    1
  2430. So I have some links of recommendations at the bottom of my £600 vs£6000 video which will work brilliantly with a full frame dslr https://youtu.be/JRoFUj0cNt8 if you have an APC sized sensor you might want to get a cute little 80mm ed refractor

  2431. I think the details are in the text at the bottom of this vid... https://youtu.be/BUFut_sUCn8
    1
  2432. yeh for observational i think he might be right. i just got me a pair of 20x80s
    1
  2433. felt like that😂
    1
  2434. Cool I'll check it out... Which vid?
    1
  2435. they say im too niche
    1
  2436. tbh I think even an 8inch fat scope will just about get it... its the really calm atmosphere that is the constraining factor

  2442. hey art😜
    1
  2443. hey art i emailed you hoping i could zoom interview you about Jon Dobson... rory@astrobiscuit.com thx mate
    1
  2444. Oooh. Not had that one before.
    1
  2445. 😆
    1
  2446. Well done you for helping make it happen
    1
  2447. cheers fella
    1
  2448. yeh but yours is new and most people don't want to risk buying a 40 year old scope.
    1
  2449. I did use a 180mm lens here https://youtu.be/5nsAvMOsis4
    1
  2450. yeh... I'm not good at DIY stuff either
    1
  2451. 1600asi see the members video called how long should your subs be
    1
  2452. true
    1
  2453. 🤣👍thx marcos
    1
  2454. i think it was a gradual decent that began when my dentist told me i couldn't have sugar in my tea
    1
  2455. lucky you
    1
  2456. i guess you didn't watch the video till the end.
    1
  2457. Many thx michael, yeh i was quite surprised by the result!
    1
  2458. Thx garnett - hope you're good

  2461. True, geese fly at 20k ft
    1
  2462. +Pablomanwell 😜 hee hee , cool means i might be reaching more people... The mrs and the kids think im bonkers but the battle for 1000 subs goes on (for now)
    1
  2463. +Pablomanwell not sure what an evo is (evolution?) which probably means ill be no help whatsoever😜 ... I expect evolution mounts are pretty good but i think with a wedge they wont carry as much weight as in alt az mode and for serious long exposure astrophotography i dont know many people that use them but i believe they can be guided and should work fine for short focal length set ups and you dont have to worry about annoying meridian flips which is cool. I find sharpcap is brilliant for polar aligning
    1
  2464. +Pablomanwell thx fella. Yes with backyard eos i used 5x zoom in planetary mode which works out very well bc it ends up being almost one camera pixel to each image pixel which is what you want.
    1
  2465. Thanks happy
    1
  2466. thanks mate much appreciated
    1
  2467. thx buddy, very much appreciated
    1
  2468. Thank you much appreciated😆
    1
  2469. BTW are you in the USA... Be good to check if you are as no one has clicked on the USA links whereas the UK links have had many clicks and some sales too... So I'm a bit worried my usa links aren't working as they should.
    1
  2470. but what do we do when we reach the point where we can't take measurements... ie smaller than the plank length.

  2471. Visionary hd 7x50 im actually selling them on ebay now😃

  2482. Cool, I'm thinking small secondary f6ish newt might be my next build. Looking for a tube and worried about dew😜
    1
  2483. Fyi I recently found out that monopods work well with binos... I think you'll need something to keep x15s steady fyi i want to get soom x15s next too
    1
  2484. Don't you have pro mode?
    1
  2485. Oh what a nice thing to say. I think I sound embarrassing...
    1
  2486. No it works for longer exposures as long as you have guiding set up
    1
  2487. Hey thx jan... Really pleased ypu like em😜
    1
  2488. thx and bunny does fine by himself and lives rent free on the roof. apo refractors don't suffer from chromatic aberation(mostly)

  2494. I didn't control the mount with the computer but I used backyard eos to control the camera
    1
  2495. fyi there are folks on discord who process images...
    1
  2496. thx, its struggle to do with my london mortgage.

    1
  2510.  @Riktenstein  thx rik🤣 i don't think it is fake but I don't have time to dig out the footage and check how nasa filmed it bc I'm skint and i need to work on stuff that earns me some money.
    1
  2511. Thx bud
    1
  2512. I like you a lot 🤣
    1
  2513. Thx good advice that I didn't know (3 folks have told me now)
    1
  2514. thx amd no the kitt peak scope is too wide field for a o apparently
    1
  2515. You remember 😂
    1
  2516. that sounds like a great idea
    1
  2517. Try starting off with a wide angle eyepiece
    1
  2518. yes thx
    1
  2519. Err...
    1
  2520. We do just see galaxies as faint fuzzy stars when we do not zoom
    1
  2521. but i think what we have now on the Internet is soft ai... hard ai is much more powerful and that is what we're talking about in this video. But you're right if folks confuse soft ai with hard ai then we're in a world of pain.
    1
  2522. thx buddy greetings from london😃
    1
  2523. i had to recollimate the red one... and it still wasn't as good which surprised me.

  2531. Cool, you seen my what you can see through binos vid?
    1
  2532. yeh I've just finished editing a 40minute show. Its about the next big breakthrough in our understanding of the universe. making it has taken 2 months and it might have been my biggest mistake😭
    1
  2533. ahh mate that's brilliant thx ;-)
    1
  2534. thx Jack I'll take a look
    1
  2535. No

  2536. Yep... Very good - you didn't cheat did you🤣
    1
  2537. thx mike
    1
  2538. yes i am aware of everything you say. Are you aware of the time problems that i mentioned in the story...
    1
  2539. the scope was nevwr out in the rain. Just the mount, Probably just the tripod actually. I cover it all with an upside down dustbon.

    1
  2544. I have old orthos... and actually the zoom I've got 7-24mm celestron and quite cheap is not bad at all
    1
  2545. yeh its true there seem to be lots of old newts knocking about in uk
    1
  2546. +Suraj Ghodke yep i found out the distance on the 1st september and rounded it to the nearest whole number : 😃 there are websites that calculate the distance at any given time. Thx for watching
    1
  2547. cheers to you and your missus!!! (and thx for the encouragement - most appreciated)
    1
  2548.  @PWBERRETT  longer exposures are likely fail due to field rotation. you need an equatorial mount do longer exposures. Also longer exposures will fail due to guiding inaccuracies.
    1
  2549. cool

    1
  2555. thx bud... and feeling dumb is probably the correct response for someone who is clever.
    1
  2556. Awesome thx 😀its taking ages to get the next one out but hopefully soon...
    1
  2557.  @theGoogol  thx mate, i actually don't see how to make it work without affiliate links. Youtube ad revenue is terrible. My best film ever earnt me about £100 for each day i worked on it. The rest are much worse.
    1
  2558. Thx bud, now I know🤣

  2562. Thx fella😀
    1
  2563. yeh t7 works well. it's a asi120mc really although it doesn't seem to work when I connect the camera directly to the mount... not sure why and this makes it useless when trying to guide with a skywatcher star adventurer
    1
  2564.  @Chamsdlr  good mount
    1
  2565. Good for planets and moon
    1
  2566. Well thx for watching anyways🙄
    1
  2567.  @user-vj3bn2bm2v  hey don't worry by commenting your helping the algorithm which helps... this video is going to annoy a lot of people a lot more than its annoyed you. Such is the price of trying to make pop science out of the latest theories in theoretical physics. I would just point out tho that the computer analogy is no more than a metaphor. We're not really living in an actual computer. Its just the universe according to Wolfram can be described by computational rules, physicists currently describe the universe with mathematics (Maths is itself is a subset of the broader church of computation). Sorry gone too far.
    1
  2568. yeh def more of a pain in this ep than normal
    1
  2569. Thx Mike, will look out for those nok's enjoy the clear skies... UK is about to never get properly dark for the next few months

  2587. greetings fellow nerd if you are one - I assume you are as you watched this!😅
    1
  2588. hope so...

  2590. also thanking you kindly. I'm taking out a loan and gonna see how many vids I can make before the money runs out

  2605. don't have a bunny too many little bones!
    1
  2606. My pleasure!
    1
  2607. Awe thx bud. There is a link in the blurb below the video for the patron thingy.
    1
  2608. 🤣it was food colouring bc I made a blue carrot for bunny and asked him if he wanted the orange carrot or the blue one... the scene got cut😂
    1
  2609. 😂
    1
  2610. one day I'm going to watch em too... and drink a lot with riktenstein

    1
  2618. i haven't seen any modern ones for sale in uk tho...
    1
  2619. 🤣🤣
    1
  2620. thx Lukas, most kind.
    1
  2621. hmmmn what were you looking at? You need to catch the planets when they're near the earth if you can.
    1
  2622. thx bud👍
    1
  2623. 🤣it's the thing that holds my camera
    1
  2624. Oh dear
    1
  2625. cool thx
    1
  2626. 🤔Can I use an old phone that I was going to throw away?
    1
  2627. I guess im exactly that kind of idiot😅
    1
  2628. yeh baby
    1
  2629. Iso800 not sure there is an aperture setting
    1
  2630. Well the star is so incredibly bright it's blinds the telescopes looking for planets and the planets are incredibly small... Even with James Webb they are pretty much one pixel big
    1
  2631. Well i spose i could
    1
  2632. its like santas grotto for middle aged nerds
    1
  2633. it was an old edmund scientific f6 150mm reflector.. like 50 years old
    1
  2634. yes i pretty much agree but then Stellina at least would save you time... like 4hrs for each shot.
    1
  2635. but each ray will be half as intense...
    1
  2636. not yet... its taking ages😂
    1
  2637. I didn't know Alyn personally but from his videos he seems like a super nice guy. It's sad.
    1
  2638. no... your first shot should be the moon. It will look awesome with your set up.
    1
  2639. yes i do plan on doing something like that
    1
  2640. 🤣🤣🤣yeh... plan b🤣
    1
  2641. Hmmm... I'll have to look into it. The 130 f5 newts are very good. Tracking might be a case of doing it old school. 2 telescopes one for the camera and one for your eye to lock onto a star and manually track.
    1
  2642. 8x32 would be good for looking at andromeda from a dark site. P1000 not my bag bc I have lots of scopes but I expect its great for the moon and catching jupiters moons and saturns rings
    1
  2643. Never thought of that😁😂
    1
  2644. I would never do that😂

    1
  2652. Ahhh thx bud very generous 😁
    1
  2653. Yep was a bit odd
    1
  2654. Thx joe, basically i did what i did and made some mistakes with both mounts when capturing the images. Subs were 10mins long on fancy pants and i think 5 mins long on the budget. I tell you is quite tough getting both scopes up and running especially when one is wigging out. I think anyone would find a couple of things would slip. The buggrst hole in my vid is the scene that describes the ir removal mod from the canon camera. It was a bit boring and i wanted to make a film that got you average joe (not necessarily your above average joe shmoe) excited. 😜
    1
  2655. I am an idoit,😁 but in my defence im cameraman,, script, sound man and presenter and astrophotgrapher all at the same time so a lot of balls to juggle.
    1
  2656. Interesting comment. The russian rockets which since the spaceshuttle even the americans use leave the upperstage in orbit. And these stages become spacejunk. So while the russian rocket may be carrying american payload it is still a russian rocket. I didn't mean to be russophobic

  2670. it takes time to get the gear singing. So many different things to get right and just one thing wrong will ruin it. here is a bried list of things that can affect goto accuracy 1 polar alignment; 2 telling the mount where on the planet you are 3 telling the mount the correct local time. 4 Never move the mount with your hands always with the controller

  2706. +Faman thx fella... Fyi the shot is at 100fps so what we're seeing is slow motion, about a quarter if real speed. I think balloon is quite likely although i see the object distorting in the atmosphere as much as mars. It seems to mirror mars' distortions implying there is a lot of atmosphere between us and it but how much is def open to interpretation.thx for your comment
    1
  2707. Wow tough shot to get. Did you capture raw frames rather than jpegs. Also because you are twice as zoomed in your stars may be trailing at 2secs although maybe you were ok bc you were at quite high alt. Ummmn were the stars in the center ok... Tell you what if you post the pics we can figure it out.
    1
  2708. i have a few ideas here: https://www.astrobiscuit.com/cheap-and-easy-astrophotography samyang 135mm is a classic lens that will work for this... heart and soul nwbula is vwry big

  2718. Yeh it was close 😅

  2719. Thx for that
    1
  2720. cheers chico much appreciated
    1
  2721. good point,. I measured the size from a picture taken from a high orbiing satellite. i guess partial shadow is 1000km wide.
    1
  2722. i don't think it will be better. Well if i had a big sensor camera it might be but even then the big secondary would have an impact on sharpness. Also newts make good travellers bc you can recollimate them easily.
    1
  2723. oh for goodness sake... i covered half the vet bill...
    1
  2724. yeh i did say fix on my website😜
    1
  2725. Well if you are obsessive and look on ebay everyday then over the course of a year you get a few big bargains. I've not ever lied about the price of my ebay purchases but if you look I was only making 1 or 2 vids a year
    1
  2726. +Justin Baldwin Hee hee. cool. Give it a go. And yes i am jealous! Cheapest easiest deep sky set up is here... https://youtu.be/QO3V9wxHkUE Or even cheaper here and from a dark site here https://youtu.be/njk0cfnjpV8 You could just use a 50mm lens and a dslr if you wanted rather than a phone and binos😃
    1
  2727. except we can see the lake on the moon... apollo landing sites however...
    1
  2728. ok thx
    1
  2729. ahh that would have been epic...totally should have done it.
    1
  2730. Yes
    1
  2731. thx bud
    1
  2732. don't buy the celestron... the new one isn't as good but other brands sell exactly the same telescope. See my website for details and links www.astrobiscuit.com in the budget section
    1
  2733. well bettty wan't sharper in the end but it was close

  2742. thx I'll look into it
    1
  2743. It was filmed last month😂
    1
  2744. I used it in video mode with the shortest exposure possible whilst seeing the planet... The histogram needs to reach about halfway. Im guessing the exposure was around 1/50th of a second and the iso would be high like 3200😃
    1
  2745. Great it should be on rik's album. link in the blurb at the bottom of the page. 👍

  2749. don't worry you are not alone😁
    1
  2750. Only just🤣
    1
  2751. Yeh in truth up the volcano is darker but you can still see the zodiacal lights from here
    1
  2752. yeh🤣
    1
  2753. Totally doable bc the stacking software auto centers the planet so as long as the planet stays in the frame it'll work
    1
  2754. maybe, you could be right but Geese are big so of course they would have to be much higher than 3km (or whatever I said it was) to be at the right scale. I think geese over europe fly at around 20,000ft which is 6km . which still might be a bit too low for the size of the goose to match the size of the object we're seeing but maybe...

  2767.  @T5Zplayer  The vid isn't perfect. Its a bit silly. Initially I wanted to see if Stellina's robotics were as good as me in terms of focusing etc... then I just tried to make stellina's design bettter. Post processing Stellina photos is just like postprocessing photos that I have taken. You download the hundreds of fits files from stellina (you don't need to calibrate them) and away you go! BTW did you buy stellina and if so did you use one of my links. cheers Rory

    1
  2775. very true

    1
  2797. Much appreciated thx
    1
  2798. Good point but whilst editing I found a number of people have shot this in ir. one guy even did it with a smaller scope. Whoever made the Nasa vid just made a mistake... I think partly to emphasise the importance of spending money on the LRO probe.
    1
  2799. thx for watching bud😄
    1
  2800. So few people click that I need to change the thumbnail until I get it right or there won't be any videos uploaded ever...

    1
  2802. I wish!
    1
  2803. its bc the camera can exposed for 30 seconds at a time but the human eye has to work instantly
    1
  2804. Yep tots🤣
    1
  2805. yeh maybe it was more true when they said it and before cmos sensor cameras really started working. heads up i actually think NASA is amazing

  2812. 8"sct is great for planets... Did you image deep space with it too?
    1
  2813. Kinda yes... In truth time itself works well enough on earth but it's not great when dealing with the universe

  2814. Hi gaz, i used an android app called intervalometer

  2837. Cool. I'm very glad you found the vid. Yep i want to do a vid about just ising a phone and notjing else. Be nice to show what others like yourself have managed too...

    1
  2845. funnily enough i saw exactly ceri's design recommended in a 1959 paper looking into the light scattering effects of secondary mirror holders. On you're other point Im REALLY suprised all you clever cloggs on cloudy nights don't know about the adverse affects csused by the secondary obstruction scattering the light out of the central airy disc and into the "far larger than 1 arc second" rings that are around it. The only other thing i can think is that you must be thinking of taking a 6 inch apo refractor on a plane. 😱
    1
  2846. You take out the diagonal mirror and replace it with a 5cm (ish) extention tube which fits between the telescope and the camera😜 please ask if you have trouble finding one and ill help show you what to look for
    1
  2847.  @treefallleaves6711  yep i took out canon's ir filter

  2848. yeh you can be on dartmoor at night. You can't sleep in your vehicle but otherwise its ok. I camped on the moor last summer. Obvs not now...

  2849. jacob I'm sorry your disapointed. i will be making the travel rig v2 after summer holidays. Some if the equipment i need is stuck in china. If it makes you feel any better please be assured that making these videos has put me thousands of pounds in debt. i hope when i am big enough i can start making a profit.

  2855. hny🥂
    1
  2856. thx mate
    1
  2857. I am pondering and experimenting with these ideas currently... at the moment I think aperture wins and if you have to dip below f4 then so be it... of course if you are grinding the mirror then I think f6 should be the limit.

  2858.  @alexdsm5813  cheers Alex thank you for sharing it, much appreciated

  2859. The secondary is attached to the beige metal ring that fits on the end.

    1
  2876. have you seen my website? Unfortunately most items are sold out. www.astrobiscuit.com
    1
  2877. did you get the 72ed reducer? In the states you have to buy the 80ed reducer and the adapter separately. I'm very surprised your not getting focus. There are a million things that can go wrong but that shouldn't be one of them. I should have both items listed on my website if there is a mistake please let me know.
    1
  2878. what an arse. what is the camera you are using?
    1
  2879. also normally the problem with reducers is not enough inward travel it is very odd to not have enough outward travel. have you got 55mm between the back of the reducer and your cameras sensor?
    1
  2880. astro essentials filter cell adapter from Flo will give you a bit more outward travel
    1
  2881. OK thx very odd. with the 650 I'm guessing you have the standard eos adapter which is designed to give you 55mm spacing to the sensor. dumb question but are you sure it's outward not inward travel. obvs this can be tested on a distant object in the daytime.
    1
  2882.  @ChrisWAnim  You are correct. I thought someone at skywatcher had gone insane until I saw that the rotator was only £17 which i know doesn't help you right now. So I'll have to ask FLO but it seems that with the new skywatcher 72ed you have to have this rotator to reach focus. That is very annoying. I will double check tho.
    1
  2883.  @ChrisWAnim  it really does suck. but can you use this instead... https://www.firstlightoptics.com/adapters/astro-essentials-adapter-for-sky-watcher-focal-reducers.html

  2945. Fair point but the tube was made of cardboard. He also cut a steel tube for me and wore protection for that.
    1
  2946. Yes. Skywatcher st80 or Meade adventure scope are made in the same factory I think. And are the same scope as far as I know... My old celestron is the same. I think there is a newer version which is not as good so be careful.

  2947. Thank you for buying a print. And thx for your kind words

  2951. thx tyrant some of my patrons have asked about discord, I've begun to look into it but am swamped with things to do. Do you work for discord? if you are willing to help me get set up that would be most appreciated.

  2954. Yay

  2955. I actually crashed it on the ice on dartmoor. Wrote it of. Was really bad from a money point of View especially as i took a month off work to make this video and was pretty skint
    1
  2956. Awesome, thank you!
    1
  2957. 🤣

  2958. @Astrobiscuit • 1 second ago so sorry I missed this. Thx Mr O. Very much appreciated.

  2965. Gr8. Thx fella. I'll be in touch... and I'll check if there are any dirt cheap flights to Switzerland: always wanted to shoot from altitude!
    1
  2966. Never say never...

  2967. cheers🙏
    1
  2968. its a collosal and almost continuous pain in the backside
    1
  2969. Your wish will come true in the next ep...
    1
  2970. err yup.. i did in a program called after effects
    1
  2971. speaking in generalities longer subs wins. The noise reduces by one over the square of the time but the signal increases linearly with time
    1
  2972.  @T5Zplayer  andy not sure what this has to do with above comment... but yes Stellina is good.
    1
  2973. 🤣
    1
  2974. im pretty sure ufos are real but the other stuff... man you couldn't make it up
    1
  2975. Thx matt... sounds like a project! good luck with it. Actually could have done with your mount for my next vid "Saturn for 75quid". Should be out soon.
    1
  2976. true😂
    1
  2977. It's too zoomed in . It'd be like using a telephoto lens to capture a landscape
    1
  2978. Thx buddy more coming soon!
    1
  2979. thx monika, I think🤣
    1
  2980. the image ifrom nasher is saturated to *#&£ in photos hop yes... it is naturally a pale grey ish blue

    1
  2985. Thx fella
    1
  2986. uncle Norman many thx. you're going to get a request for a zoom interview when I get around to doing the "what the heck is going on with the sun" video.
    1
  2987. I think that one of the not moving black dots is a speck of dirt on the sensor...
    1
  2988. canon 6d but old ones are still £350 , canon 1100d modified is good for less money
    1
  2989. Thx... I'll check it out
    1
  2990. i don't know onesky Sounds like its good. . I think for an imager star collimation is surely the best though as the camera's weight and sensor angle is accounted for...?
    1
  2991. Errr i do believe in extra terrestrial life but I'm not sure they'd get to earth as space is so big... You should watch this https://youtu.be/X542Plsd75U?si=FzlHRkCNSHyJCs-Q

  2992. thx mate, most appreciated
    1
  2993. i hope so to
    1
  2994.  @evanboon9422  seeing need to be really good but my guess would be 6mm, why not ask on disocrd or the ask a nerd page (which is discord really) https://astrobiscuit.com/ask-a-nerd/
    1
  2995. Actually everybody thinks that
    1
  2996. yes

  2997. Next vid will have saturn

  3002. yes the sooner they arrive the sooner i can punctuate
    1
  3003. +P4nzerAss years of training (and some string!)
    1
  3004. yes but only the bright stuff... and your tracking will have to be amazing at that focal length for deep space... and I'm not sure which reducer works with a mak
    1
  3005. ummm i cant remember sorry.... this was a long time ago. i since found that dslrs in 5x crop video mode are bwttwr than webcams
    1
  3006. no your not🤣thx tho
    1
  3007. Good man😂
    1
  3008. 🤣hey steve... bloomin work is killing me at the mo. next vid will be june 🤥

  3010. A mount and you should check out my website https://astrobiscuit.com/best-performing-mounts/
    1
  3011. Yeh, didn't really think about it when first started. But happily no shots of my actual house
    1
  3012. Thx vic😊
    1
  3013. 😂
    1
  3014. Yeh a bit. Opticron imagic 7x50 are better and still cheap
    1
  3015. Thx bud😃
    1
  3016. Wrong
    1
  3017. thx musa
    1
  3018. cool. might want to check the website for a few ideas. https://astrobiscuit.com/
    1
  3019. sorry for the late reply , thank you so much
    1
  3020. Yeh it is real... Lots of other geeks have done even better
    1
  3021. +Mason Hawkins thx madon
    1
  3022. thx for that. on my website I also spell out that the celestron travel scope is not the same. A number of people have ended up byuying the new and not so good celestron. if you can't get the Meade get the sky watcher st80. www.astrobiscuit.com
    1
  3023. ebay 2nd hand😁
    1
  3024. Yup
    1
  3025. Yep yep and I'll try 🤣
    1
  3026. I think the skywatcher mount with its belt drive is better. I think it will guide to around 0.6arc seconds... The avx isn't as good I don't think... And I've not used the 9.25 edge but I'm not sure the extra cost is worth it. My stars were pretty good with the normal 9.25
    1
  3027. Annoyingly my astrobin account got corrupted but I use a c9. 25 in this vid https://youtu.be/GuzsBb5rKx0 by the way I would check out other people's advice too... I've not used the edge
    1
  3028. thx for watching
    1
  3029. true
    1
  3030. cool, just ordered myself the opticron 20x80 I suspect they might be very very good value...
    1
  3031. Your not wrong exactly but next level nerdyness: looking south at that relatively high magnification and with these short exposures field rotation is not a big deal
    1
  3032. +gravey1969 thx😜
    1
  3033. I've got a funny feeling Riktenstien is the BUNNY😆
    1
  3034. Yeh i have to see that... Gonna be hard from London tho... Hopefully lockdown will ease
    1
  3035. +Marffv Marffv yes i want to come😃good luck. I think with a bit of luck you might do better than me.
    1
  3036.  @curtcoller3632  I was diagnosed as dyslexic when I was 11. But (oh no, that's bad. I started a starting a sentence with a "but") what's really interesting is how catatonically (misspelt apparently (and i think misspelt might be mis-spelt) bored you must be to write this.

  3037. Garnett Leary thx buddy- happy Christmas!

  3041. ​ @sammy6983  ah ok sorry Sam I though you must have been NASA. Phew. i can sleep easy now.
    1
  3042. yeh i cant afford an eq8 but im planning on getting getting an big old mount up and running.
    1
  3043. 🤣
    1
  3044. Thx😜
    1
  3045. thx bud btw check the website as skywatcher have a new tripod which might be better👍https://www.astrobiscuit.com/portable-astrophotography

  3048. +THE ALL ROUNDER Cool Man 77 is a good one... Btw thx for watching it 888 times. Much appreciated

  3049. yeh it was an hours convo.
    1
  3050. Here's to you Hdeikwk
    1
  3051. You too. Im pretty sure im bonkers😜
    1
  3052. Through the tree?
    1
  3053. cheers bud
    1
  3054. 😅made me laugh
    1
  3055. Yeh it was guitar wires but we've binned that idea for the moment... You'll see in the vid
    1
  3056. its Holst aint it? (with a beat)
    1
  3057. you are a proper Astronomer well done
    1
  3058. you can see the iss... but it moves fast
    1
  3059. sound great
    1
  3060. Its a zwo asi294mc
    1
  3061. Thanks for letting me know
    1
  3062. fixed it I think. really appreciate the heads up . thx
    1
  3063. you might need to convert the video to something autostakkert likes. try a program called ppi😜
    1
  3064. 🤣he's taller and gets all the girls
    1
  3065. yes i didn't believe it at first but now i think bunny's right. hope you are good👍
    1
  3066. I think it might be a bit gristly ;-)
    1
  3067. 🤣
    1
  3068. 😂 fyi if you take the secondary mirror out you can align the primary mirror by booking through the hole left by the centre screw in the secondary mirror holder. Its actually quite a good thing to do first. Worth noting that star collimation will align the primary mirror with any tilt in the sensor so you will have to adjust the primary to account for the tilt....
    1
  3069. so r u 👍
    1
  3070. Thx for watching... I reckon a moonrise would look really good more zoomed in. Next time im going to do it with the phone on the end of a telescope😃
    1
  3071. Yeh but you can't take em on a plane...🧐
    1
  3072. You've made rik a very happy bunny 😃
    1
  3073. yep visual certainly aint like in the pics... but there is a thrill in observing the infinite
    1
  3074. +Craig Oglesbee thx craig... Im gonna try and get one out a week in an effort to up my subscriber count... So quality may drop a bit in the rush but worth trying i think😜
    1
  3075. ive forgotten🤣
    1
  3076. its rik's music. link in the description 👍
    1
  3077. Thanking you most kindly 😁
    1
  3078. probably... thing is aliens could be wearing a different virtual reality headset which might make spotting them and communicating with them tricky.
    1
  3079. Well tbh I spend all the coffee money on choc and whisky
    1
  3080. i think its a bad voice too... 😂
    1
  3081. Cool, well i think you can't go above 8" on an heq5... Orion optics vx newts have good mirrors and are light... Refractors are heavy when they get big too... Swings and roundabouts im afraid. Ineed to do more tests but i suspect a good newt with a full frame sensor will beat a refractor that cost4x the money. Little fracs are nice to use tho. My next scope will be a 6" f6 newt with a small secondary and a really good mirror.
    1
  3082. top man thank you
    1
  3083. why dont you post links to collimation videos that are better....
    1
  3084. Thx Abhishek. I'm actually working on getting Jupiter for 100pounds now! I'm hoping to get a really good picture. Fingers crossed!
    1
  3085. Shevill when lock down ends I'm heading over... 42 south.... ah the thought of it
    1
  3086. possibly... Rik will appreciate your comment
    1
  3087. +Jason Wright yeh i picked up on that. I think the 600d is very strong on fainter targets
    1
  3088. im special 😭(and its a bit easier to do when your doing camera and sound and presenting and also running out of time.)
    1
  3089. excellent 😁
    1
  3090. Im Good and still have a job which is suprising. 😜
    1
  3091. +Henry Hoover Fun. thx buddy😜much appreciated
    1
  3092. ummmn prob f13 for planets
    1
  3093. Yeh its much cheaper in us
    1
  3094. have you got it to focus at distant things in the daytime?
    1
  3095. you're too small for the bat im afraid
    1
  3096. Well exactly...
    1
  3097. but it's hard to mount a 10inch dob for astrophotgraphy and the best all round scope needs to work for astrophotography too... did you miss the bit where I said dobs are best for visual?
    1
  3098. it seems to work for us... you fo have to agree to the rules oe somethung first time...
    1
  3099. Cool😎
    1
  3100. the pictures are graded to bring out the colours...
    1
  3101. Don't tell bunny😅
    1
  3102. 😂
    1
  3103. 😂
    1
  3104. they are good
    1
  3105. My pleasure 👍
    1
  3106. Shhhhh 🤣
    1
  3107. yeh but there aint so many of em so that makes it almost impossible to make a doc about them and pay the bills... i barely manage as it is.
    1
  3108. +Uk2014Ch 😂
    1
  3109. Android app called intervalometer
    1
  3110. thanking you kindly
    1
  3111. I actually use volcano too orthos second hand they are around 30quid. they are sharp but the viewing hole is small. I think baader do some if you want new ones
    1
  3112. it was a relatively sturdy 400 year old wall!
    1
  3113. 😂😂😂
    1
  3114. Yes and yes but you can't take em on a plane.
    1
  3115. Cheers buddy... bunny was on his hols, I wouldn't have attempted it otherwise
    1
  3116. true... but this goes somewhere else
    1
  3117.  @pierpaolozeni2053  Yeh its very good, its big and powerful and you need to keep an eye on collimation which puts some people off. Really needs an eq6-r for deep space astrophotography
    1
  3118. Bond villain..... yes - better than a cheap version of Richard hammond ;-)
    1
  3119. Well done sir.
    1
  3120. yeh actually part of the fundraising money is going towards the case. thx
    1
  3121.  @TP_LANDSCAPE_PHOTOGRAPHY  also look on astro buy and sell uk http://www.astrobuysell.com/uk/propview.php
    1
  3122. also check out my website for more links ww.astrobiscuit.com
    1
  3123. that's good🤣
    1
  3124. probably a plane
    1
  3125. Glad you liked it. Both cameras?
    1
  3126. 😂telling mrs biscuit😂
    1
  3127. cool cheers Richard. 👍am going to lean back to astro on the next few.
    1
  3128. yup sorry
    1
  3129. Oh yeh. If you go somewhere dark it'll look great... Maybe less zoomed in better for andromed bc its so big but point your binos at orion nebula and 7 sisters and rosette nebula to name but a few. Im going to do a vid about observing with binos
    1
  3130.  @sergeirachmaninoff3545  you will still be able to see the Orion nebula, I can see it from London... but not much else!
    1
  3131. man your making me very happy by saying that😁
    1
  3132. im afraid thats in the advanced section. just look up using a laser collimator to check your focuser us pointing straight.
    1
  3133. any ideas?
    1
  3134. True
    1
  3135. It was never mine unfortunately
    1
  3136. Cool thx. Andromeda is a good target to start with (if you have dark skies) keep the exposures to 30sec or less on your system. Should be good😜
    1
  3137. Thx... As soon as i finish my current contract im gonna get back in the astrobiscuit saddle... Can't wait😀
    1
  3138. 🤣🤣🤣thx bud.
    1
  3139. cool thx mate
    1
  3140. Thx garnett, glad you like it. 🤗 Let's think how we could do something... Fyi i'm about to start a big job that could tie me up for a while...
    1
  3141. Yeh wonder who it is?
    1
  3142.  @ganymedkallisto5561  🤣🤣🤣
    1
  3143. Awesome... I'm really pleased
    1
  3144. Google light pollution map and find your nearest spot
    1
  3145. thanks mate much appreciated
    1
  3146. Cool
    1
  3147. 🤣🤣🤣
    1
  3148. no... I'll check it out. also lord martin says this about detecting aliens https://youtube.com/shorts/CZTO4vVujXQ?feature=share
    1
  3149. Cheers fella
    1
  3150. Hindsight is a wonderful thing
    1
  3151. I won't be able to see them as my resolution is limited to about a mile.... I might one day have a scope big enough to catch the dust tracks left by the moon buggy
    1
  3152. Wow I got a 10inch newt too
    1
  3153. Umm not sure with these x7 mag binos. Theybare low power. With x10s you probably could see saturns rings and Jupiters moons. X15 binos should be able to see planets quite well but ive not tried it as i don't have any.
    1
  3154. 🤣🤣🤣 so funny...
    1
  3155. 😂
    1
  3156. I don't work directly for Discovery anymore... Rik does. The normal way in is as a runner with a production company or check discovery's Web site
    1
  3157. Don't worry riktenstien, they will all think he's gone loopy loo
    1
  3158. 🤣 and thx
    1
  3159. 😂i stole it
    1
  3160. 😂
    1
  3161. it looks like a faint fuzzy blob
    1
  3162. thx Jason, good luck with it
    1
  3163. Not many...but yes
    1
  3164. cheers fella
    1
  3165. thx bud
    1
  3166. +Life yeh i just use pro mode in android. It allows up to 32sec... 😃
    1
  3167. +chs legacy thx buddy😃
    1
  3168. its a good theory and it must be extremely powerful bs
    1
  3169. awesomeness... sounds like monopod and 15xbinos is a great combo.
    1
  3170. yeh so this is a hybrid and i had the car on but the motor only turned when the battery needed topping up. My adapter continuously read the voltage to be about 14v.
    1
  3171. Thx bud... Hopefully get back in the saddle in September
    1
  3172. +Jugo Mental thx fella, glad you like it😃
    1
  3173. So i reckon you should look around because there are hundreds of ways to go. You could kick off cheaper and then spend your money when you know what your doing. I have some links below, 150pds, eq5 mount, second and dslr 600d maybe... And a coma corrector but please watch some other videos on the subject to get a grasp of what is involved. Good luck. One day i will have a video explaining all the best starter set ups bc it really depends on what you want. If you want to get shots like mine then the links below are a good starting place.
    1
  3174. Intervalometer its an android app.
    1
  3175. cheers larry
    1
  3176. yeh all second hand tho
    1
  3177. True😭
    1
  3178. tbh not as much as you might think
    1
  3179. cheers Alex... thx for watching
    1
  3180. yes lenses are great... faster than most telescopes which is very cool but the extra elements do tend to make the stars less crisp
    1
  3181. awesome big man thx🤣
    1
  3182. I get your point but this is about amateur scopes which are portable.
    1
  3183. The hampster aint so good looking 🤣🤣 🤣
    1
  3184. Thx steve... Its a bit of a busmans holiday for me😆
    1
  3185. yes... actually if i didn't do camras and sound and presenting and if I wasn't always rushing to beat the clouds i reckon I'd not be such a clutz.
    1
  3186. ha fixing the roof is a big job I think a goliath telescope would be chraper
    1
  3187. cheaper🤣
    1
  3188. i think so too. finally had a holiday abroad last week... clear every night😱
    1
  3189. www.bigamateurtelescope.com
    1
  3190. wow which one?
    1
  3191. is that a 40mm diameter telescope... seems quite small
    1
  3192. Yeh you could think about getting an eq mount which means you can take longer subs😁
    1
  3193. yes i think so😄
    1
  3194. wow... i thought i explained it well
    1
  3195. oh and fyi 3 years of struggle means its def not cut and paste. Have you watched it?
    1
  3196. ok note to self... sorry must stop rising to these kind of comments.
    1
  3197. errr... you should watch this and reconsider your opinion of me... https://youtu.be/5cedpFQh9-4
    1
  3198.  @DanFrederiksen  i can tell you've never done astrophotgraphy🤣
    1
  3199. no sorry he doesn't but you can follow the work and join in if you want. look at the link to his website at the bottom of the page.
    1
  3200. and you😁

  3201. +Dean Hucklesby Private how annoying😜 mobile phone milky way shot i reckon

  3203. Yeh, that's the next step
    1
  3204. true but its possible to go much cheaper
    1
  3205. I can't remember I'll have to ask my mum who claims to know all the tors.
    1
  3206. Tracking makes shooting the planets easier not better, a fatter telescope could resolve a lot more detail. Look up "jupiter c11" on google
    1
  3207. yeh but it was probably a helicopter (s) and it would have been out of focus
    1
  3208. hmmmn i think that the discord server may have access to a scooe that could.
    1
  3209. Betty was around 2arcseonds so not perfect.
    1
  3210. yeh its good
    1
  3211. the solution is to choose the mdel with the old school yoke mount instead.
    1
  3212. That's the lack of resolution... It blurs everything
    1
  3213. an old np101 with a bit if fungus on the lens😭
    1
  3214. Unlucky, stupidy i had lunch during the best bit of clear sky... Still only another 50years and i we can have another go😂
    1
  3215. Good idea
    1
  3216. cool astroafro!
    1
  3217. true next video they will be on similar mounts
    1
  3218. BTW the alt az will track once locked one
    1
  3219. rik do you even know what an sct is?
    1
  3220. adaptive optics does work but over a smaller fov
    1
  3221. cool thx
    1
  3222. Oh yer... 👍
    1
  3223. yrh it was good better than my p30 actually
    1
  3224. Cool thx. Btw why a refractor?
    1
  3225. You might want to think about a 90mm mak. Good quality image and small and light. Can be gotten for about 75 quid second hand. But you will need a descent tripod for planetary observing....
    1
  3226.  @chefalan190  this was my first scope, the one that got me hooked: https://www.firstlightoptics.com/heritage/skywatcher-heritage-90-virtuoso.html
    1
  3227. no i just don't put into the edit thousands of times i pick up a telescope without anything happenening. Remeber this video was shot over 18months. In that time i had a bad day bc i was in a rush and thinking about presenti g and sound and camera ontop of normal teleacope stuff. I bet you've knocked your telescope once in 18 months.
    1
  3228. but tbh probably the title of the film needs to change. The title is deliberately clickbaity
    1
  3229. 🤣
    1
  3230. I'm much better edited than in real life😁
    1
  3231. Is it on the goto mount?
    1
  3232. 🤣
    1
  3233. yeh it was a lot of work and a lot of cock ups... and a lot of learning
    1
  3234. Netty Voyager no my dads quite a good dancer ;-)
    1
  3235. of course wolfram predicts quantum mechanics exactly... in a sense he changes nothing. Its just an explanation of what is going on under the hood of quantum mechanics.
    1
  3236. I think you can get pink rabbit lights like this one on amazon
    1
  3237. thx Jeremy much appreciated
    1
  3238. ok
    1
  3239. art my friend good to hear from you😄
    1
  3240. yeh apologies... hopefully a trip to the pub will cure you... doh
    1
  3241.  @deankehoe9874  😂 it wasn't coffee 🍺
    1
  3242. +Chris Harper thx bud... I'll turn you into a nerd yet!
    1
  3243. Thx mate
    1
  3244. Yes it was
    1
  3245. thx mate and we can swap if you want🤣
    1
  3246. Well quite a long time ago...
    1
  3247. cool thx 👍
    1
  3248. I rate the Canon 600d as it is great for planets and moon and fairly easy to mod for deep space astrophotography although I think the 114 eq is better at planets and moon
    1
  3249. Oh dear ..
    1
  3250. good for you (my guess is you didn't watch it your just reacting to the title)
    1
  3251. 😂
    1
  3252. No ive not seem the channel ...
    1
  3253. I think that may have been a dust spot on the sensor I'll have to check
    1
  3254. Short exposures and good barlow I reckon... Oh and most important calm atmosphere
    1
  3255. I use autostakkert to stack... But i think they can all be a pain
    1
  3256. although Mrs biscuit isn't happy with it looking such a mess... tomorrow we tackle it😳
    1
  3257. My T7c works fine through the computer and phd2 software... I personally struggled to get guiding to work on alt az mounts
    1
  3258. today i shall mostly be waving the red flag at the trolls😂
    1
  3259. I knew it🤣
    1
  3260. He just went on nasa website
    1
  3261. Oh thx bud very much appreciated,
    1
  3262. i have though about this...
    1
  3263.  Jupiter rules  i don't understand. do you mean the star ejection onlynhappened on one side?
    1
  3264. well now i know how its easy but it has been a struggle to get good at it. Automation costs qyute a lot of money unfortunately
    1
  3265. true...
    1
  3266. Thx tony😜couldn't agree more
    1
  3267. Thx bud😜
    1
  3268. Oh yeh cos I forgot to look in my crytsl ball and see how hard it was to get the mirror off.... Another mistake. Let's forget about using alcohol to soften the glue as that bit might have been quite clever.
    1
  3269. cheers fella I'll check him out bth if he's way bigger than me it'll be a hard sell😉
    1
  3270. Yes, every one seems to to this except me
    1
  3271. 🤣🤣 I've now modded the dustbin with old tripod legs to raise it up. just get the biggest one you can...
    1
  3272. yes bunny was out playing che ss. hes gotten obsessed
    1
  3273.  Tri_playz  well not fired I'm self employed in tv land and there was no tv to be made. So no jobs.
    1
  3274. Thx joel, nice words like these makes me want to make more😜
    1
  3275. Really good info thank you
    1
  3276. Yup
    1
  3277. +Adam SMITH thx mate. I agree. Im actually putting out a video soon about what ive discovered. Its taken ages be i make tv shows for a living and its like something you'd get on the tele
    1
  3278. as mentioned it was a test scope to see if the idea was even possible. I do say this in the show.
    1
  3279. and i couldn't get focus because of the bad collimation. Again mentioned in the show. 🤐
    1
  3280. Mobile photon
    1
  3281. thx star lord😄
    1
  3282. intervalometer by mobile photon
    1
  3283. Yeh not to bad rik😅
    1
  3284. cool thank you for watching
    1
  3285. 🤣so many people say that it's quite funny
    1
  3286. Is it the sun catching the rim of a crater...
    1
  3287. Thx bud
    1
  3288. thx bud
    1
  3289. Its called intervalometer and its by a company called photon something... Only works on android😃
    1
  3290. Mobilephoton
    1
  3291. yeh rik says when we get to 100k youtube treats us better
    1
  3292. Are you sure... I stood outside the William Hershel, the gran telescopic shot was taken from archive footage...
    1
  3293. Hmmn I'd prefer not to say but 4 astro cameras and they are pricey... 4 newts and they are cheap 3 cheap refractor and two expensive fancy refractors😂
    1
  3294. +Jim Garrett it probaby does compress but the less compression the better. The trick is to makes sure it records in the highest possible Mega bits per second or Mbps bc that will have the least compression. If it wont tell you then check the file size. A 10sec vid recorded ar 200mbps will be ten times the size of a 10s clip recorded at 20mbps
    1
  3295. it was just so bad
    1
  3296. Fair enough
    1
  3297. Chan Aiden thx fella, more Vids coming + already done others too!
    1
  3298. cool
    1
  3299. yes.
    1
  3300. yeh me too🤣
    1
  3301. Ooh thanking you most kindly
    1
  3302. yes they are great
    1
  3303. pretty sure i have an old and unknown camera attachment on this set up.... wot is ligma?
    1
  3304. If you dont own a £5k rig you dont need to watch the advanced video. . Do you want me to keep making videos or not bc there is NO way on gods earth i can support my family on youtube advert revenues.
    1
  3305. yes
    1
  3306. cool😁
    1
  3307. he hee, bunny will be pleased
    1
  3308. Is it hiding in your telescooe graveyard
    1
  3309. 🤣
    1
  3310. Yeh but you can't take lithium batteries on a plane...
    1
  3311. +Necromanczar thx bud😃
    1
  3312.  @Riktenstein  I didn't know that @riktenstein In fact quite surprised. Do you have any examples?
    1
  3313. sounds good. I've found most of the light pollution filters work well... be it astro nomic cls or uhc... the cheaper ones give you halos around the stars. I've got a slightly too expensive stc duoband filter. I'd be interested to find out how the zwo tri band filter performs... its much cheaper
    1
  3314. well I'm almost always alone when I get somewhere really dark bc I live in London... so I just have the jaw drop feeling... and then the mount buggers up
    1
  3315. which bits did i stage? I'm actually genuinely interested in what you thought was staged... i get you don't like it.
    1
  3316. Yes... are you going to track?
    1
  3317. +Michael Justice thx fella and no i don't know... You got a link?
    1
  3318. no they don't. they are too wide field for adaptive optics to work.
    1
  3319. yes and an order of magnitude more expensive😂
    1
  3320. Hee, hee... Cheers
    1
  3321. really, never knew that thx
    1
  3322. Very much appreciated and sorry for the late response👍😁
    1
  3323. 🤣
    1
  3324.  @DanoG_74  🤣🤣
    1
  3325. awesome are you in the BAT?
    1
  3326. thank you for saying
    1
  3327. I'm gonna retire if i get a million subs🤣
    1
  3328. It doesn't have to be expensive if you shoot widefield
    1
  3329. You'll need a good mount for photography. I think the skywatcher eq6 r is a good one
    1
  3330. That's the plan🤣
    1
  3331. another coming b4 xmas😄
    1
  3332. ah thx mate very much appreciated 👍
    1
  3333. true true very true🤣
    1
  3334. i post an early one for my patrons
    1
  3335. Hmmn...🤔
    1
  3336. +Javier Flores ummmn i think nightcap might do it but im not 100% sure.
    1
  3337. Well I needed to cut down the length of my tube to reach focus with my 130... do you have a tracking mount?
    1
  3338. chwers fella
    1
  3339. Those are calibration frames. You'll have to Google them. They make a huge difference to astrophotos
    1
  3340. excellent😁
    1
  3341. cool Steve that makes me happy
    1
  3342. 🤣
    1
  3343. New video coming out soon but some suggestions on my website. Www.astrobiscuit.com
    1
  3344. Hee hee, thx buddy (i actually do work in tv... Kind of a busmans holiday🤣)
    1
  3345. Not in devon
    1
  3346. im glad too
    1
  3347. Pls tell my daughter

  3348. https://astrobiscuit.com/best-budget-telescope/
    1
  3349. They are for sale
    1
  3350. aye
    1
  3351. Most probably... 😜
    1
  3352. I used darks and flats.. def need flats, 👍
    1
  3353. i actually now know the answer and its not this...
    1
  3354. Well its not easy. Im afraid you have to take a shot , move the focus a little, take another shot, move tbe focus a little etc ...
    1
  3355. a balloon I think
    1
  3356. 🤣
    1
  3357. , 😂
    1
  3358. Thx buddy 😜
    1
  3359. cheers Terry, this video took me ages to make, I invested quite a lot in it emotionally and unfortunately isn't doing very well. so your words are especially gratefully received. Happy New Year😜
    1
  3360. cool thx bud... nice town to live in i reckon
    1
  3361. +Victor Houston of course🤣🤣🤣🤣 it was used in london after all!
    1
  3362. I'm happy you're happy 😁
    1
  3363. 😁
    1
  3364. 😂
    1
  3365. Good ideal and thx
    1
  3366. 😂
    1
  3367. very good
    1
  3368. yeh it was icey on the roads in dartmoor and I had a slow motion slide into a 4x4... wrote off the car. Bit of a nightmare financially tbh
    1
  3369. sorry
    1
  3370. Yeh im super happy😁
    1
  3371. Errr... Sorry don't understand
    1
  3372. i don't think so...
    1
  3373. +Marc Bell 😂i keep trying to rub the fly off...doh
    1
  3374. Sozza 😂😂😂
    1
  3375. yeh hairdryer works for visual... special dew heaters for astrophotography. I'm still figuring out how to keep my big newt dry
    1
  3376. the same ammount of capture time. i spent much longer processing mine... also pricessed stellinas a bitbut it didnt take long.
    1
  3377. cool, i think so...
    1
  3378. Thx and yes.. More uploads soonish (sept)
    1
  3379. Cool you might be able to shoot andromeda without a tracker by using lots of very short exposures. 😜 good luck
    1
  3380. Thx and you're right backyard eos is only free for the first month
    1
  3381. oh good. 👍
    1
  3382. +test at i need to translate this🤔
    1
  3383. it's a home made thing which simply holds the phone flush to the eyepiece so the STARVIEW APP is pointing the same way as the telescope.
    1
  3384. what and lose focus. NEVER🤣
    1
  3385. @riktenstein?
    1
  3386. I did use an alt az mount in this vid...https://youtu.be/QO3V9wxHkUE Above 300mm fl and below about a minute exposure time field rotation is not an issue. The longer tje focal length the less of a problem it is too... Also where you point the telescope makes a difference
    1
  3387. Intervalometer by mobile photon
    1
  3388. sounds good
    1
  3389. thx Aaron... very happy to answer questions https://www.facebook.com/astrobiscuit/  or  https://twitter.com/astrobiscuit2

  3390. facebook cheers
    1
  3391. yeh sorry, he was actually very nice during our interview.
    1
  3392. Well done
    1
  3393. +Wayne Aspley thx fella, id like to make more just need to win the lottery and do it full time😃
    1
  3394. Yes a mono sensor and an off axis guider
    1
  3395. 102 is good, better at widefield deep space. sorry about the link I'm rebuilding the website on a new platform.
    1
  3396. Awesome😜 and a good combo
    1
  3397. great suggestion
    1
  3398. yeh I like it

  3400. thx mate

  3401. skyview
    1
  3402. I dont think there is any money in tv land now anyway...
    1
  3403. 🤣
    1
  3404. Might be some chromatic aberation from coma corrector also stars weren't great on canon shot and sima clipping helped keep them round. Suprisingly bad red amp glow too. I think i did some star shrinking on both in pix...
    1
  3405. Thx Billy did you look at the website?
    1
  3406. Well hindsight is a wonderful thing
    1
  3407. Good to know. 😀
    1
  3408. yeh i think it would work, i axtually found some in the usa for under 100 and put them on my website. they are slightly better than the 60mm ones https://www.astrobiscuit.com/best-budget-telescope
    1
  3409. i think there is stellina had a little sister
    1
  3410. sorry typos... there is now a smaller cheaper version of stellina
    1
  3411. The lava is thrown much further away. When i play golf on the moon you'll believe me😂
    1
  3412. Thx buddy
    1
  3413. its not bad
    1
  3414. Thx south bronx much apperciated.
    1
  3415. I was super suprised to be able to see it. wish I'd tried earlier
    1
  3416. Fyi a lot of the prices for the fancy pants rig are second hand. For instance a new np101 costs over 4000 and a new avalon linear fast reverse is also about 4k... Although they stopped making them. Thats already 8k without the camera or reducer or motor focuser. I was honest with how i bought it.
    1
  3417. thx 😁
    1
  3418. 🤣
    1
  3419. its good buy them
    1
  3420. er your kind of right dobson invented the mount
    1
  3421. awesome
    1
  3422. yes I think your right but i'm gonna try and pimp up the reflector a bit more
    1
  3423. It cause of the neighbours who are trying to sleep
    1
  3424. Well for your little set up the skywatcher az gti in eq mode is an interesting option... But you need a bit of geekery to get it working in eq mode
    1
  3425. Cheers fella. Much appreciated 😜
    1
  3426. staking is the answer
    1
  3427. thx bud, weather has been terrible hasn't it.
    1
  3428. Thx jon
    1
  3429. thx bud have a gr8 life
    1
  3430. Thanking you kindly😀
    1
  3431. +Safety Steve £1700
    1
  3432. i suspect its quite good but id guess that my short 80mm achro is better
    1
  3433. True
    1
  3434. Thx bud😁
    1
  3435. visionary hd 7x50 binos and a small camera tripod. Both v cheap.
    1
  3436. Wow, those will be hard - Less than a second subs - but amazing if you manage it. Or you could pop them on a tracker like a staradventurer and get much longer subs😜
    1
  3437.  @danielleshaffer620  subs=exposures
    1
  3438.  @danielleshaffer620  Don't I explain lots of this stuff in the video? You don't want to go higher than 10x.
    1
  3439. its camera isn't well suited to short exposures. I think it takes like 30 secs to download each image and the read noise is relatively high. that being said short exposures. would help but if course it would loose the faint bits
    1
  3440. Good
    1
  3441. yeh that sounds like a good call... slightly slower and more zoomed in than my binos... but may well be crisper
    1
  3442. Not sure , i did up the saturation tho...
    1
  3443. Yeh was more like the 3rd floor than a shelf
    1
  3444. yes. I wondered if uv might be good for this.
    1
  3445. +Gopal Raut look for the sword below orions belt... and you might need a tripod, those 15x binos are quite zoomed in. 😃
    1
  3446. pst
    1
  3447. thx narco😁
    1
  3448. @Astrobiscuit • 1 second ago so sorry I missed this. Thx Hijinx. Very much appreciated.
    1
  3449. thx you mean the link for the BAT?
    1
  3450. good man👍
    1
  3451. 🤣
    1
  3452. 😂 funny, im amazed you took me seriously.
    1
  3453. thx mate
    1
  3454. lots of folks have asked about dwarf 2... so maybe i should.
    1
  3455. Very good point thank you
    1
  3456. that'd be riktenstiens channel😁
    1
  3457. Thx mate😃
    1
  3458. Do you want me to notify you when I'm having my breakfast 😂
    1
  3459. ah thx bud
    1
  3460. actually grinding a mirror is probably very relaxing and about all the astroing we can do as we are continuously buried beneath layers of cloud
    1
  3461. that'd be good... imagine the budget😅
    1
  3462. Im gonna see how much they are😂
    1
  3463. yeh they are better... I likes em.
    1
  3464. Cool thx fred, i was an editor for 10years
    1
  3465. I think distance is a human concept which becomes meaningless at these huge scales
    1
  3466. Cool thx... I likes em too and my mrs likes allotments😀
    1
  3467. thx bud, i agree the camera is a cheat... but yeh tje detail was astonishing... a very calm nite that one
    1
  3468. or the moon I guess...
    1
  3469. prob a airliner and the footage was prob speeded up...
    1
  3470. only when we're clean😂
    1
  3471. thx bid, if you find the right people to talk to. i would post in #telescopes or one of the diy channels and see what feedback you get.
    1
  3472. It's called intervalometer by mobile photon. It works on android
    1
  3473. Cool.
    1
  3474. I have they said stop pestering...
    1
  3475. celestron don't make that scope any more but other brands do. please see my website page https://www.astrobiscuit.com/best-budget-telescope
    1
  3476. yeh they are all good scopes but the 8inch newt nicely hits the resolution limit of our wobbly atmosphere at the best price
    1
  3477. hmmn... I'm not sure i understand. I guessing you didn't watch the film.
    1

  3565. I had to chop my 130 down to reach focus. always easier to do it in the day but I think you've figured that out. It may be possible to employ longer bolts at the back to push the mirror a few cm down the tube so you can reach focus.
    1
