Altair Astro Hypercam 269C - First look and unboxing
i have an 8" dobsonian and I've been heavily debating whether its worth all the time, effort and the dust to flock the OTA? has it made a significant improvement in your observations? if so, how so?
Thanks for that, great to see other people's setups. What is the name of the tilt adaptor?
Stacey 👌🧿
This maybe a stupid question, but why is the first image you opened up black in the first place?
PixInsight now has something similar, Spectrophotometric Color Calibration.
Thank you. I just got my ZWO ASI294MC Pro. Planning to complete the sensor analysis. Your video was very helpful. Question on the last part where you reviewed the histogram brain settings. For this should I put the camera back on the telescope and aim at the sky? Should this be done during the day sunlight or in the night dark sky. Thank you.
Secondary is still out of alignment Though by now you probably know that. I usually do the primary first. Otherwise setup looks good Nice image 👍
Should this be done with cooling?
if I point at different targets, I will get different exposure recommendations correct?
Great video Stacey. I'm just getting started in solar
Can you do the sensor analysis with cameras still attached to OTAs - pointing to a illuminated white frame whose intensity is dialled right down?
what is the difference with the lx3
Excellent video. This just got me out of a late night imaging session bind. Thank you.
Great video, will do this soon. One question though. When you say ideally you would have your camera attached to your telescope (7:14) , is that at night time outside with the lens cap off or indoors with the lens cap on? Thanks.
Just picked up one of these beauts at PAS. You've already helped me massively by confriming installation of the focus cube is supposed to be the "wrong" side. Following for more!
Hey Stace. Even though I haven't watched many of your videos as I am quite settled in my astrophotography methods, I am so happy to see that you are still shooting the stars. Clear Skies. 😀
Thank you very much young lady, for taking the time and sharing your knowledge, and producing a very informative how to. Especially for old folks like myself who were born BC (before computers). I am new to this amazing hobby/art form of astrophotography and I absolutely love it. However, I dread having to process because it can be very complicated, and all of the tutorials I have been watching and trying to follow along with, though great content, have left me in the dust because I am lacking in the fundamentals of computer navigation. This is by far the nicest and easiest tutorial process that I have come across. Great job. Thank you again, very much. I will now hit that subscribe button. I look forward to more great content from you.
Thank you for the lovely feedback
Hi, I'm new, I'd like to ask, do these operations also need to be done for photos of planets or the Moon? what type of noise is present in these cases, given that I take short-term photos? Thank you
Very nice, straightforward tutorial! Concise and clear. Thank you.
You're welcome!
I tighten each mirror clip until I can no longer rotate the mirror, then loosen it little by little just until I can rotate the mirror freely again
Hello Stacey. I'm new to astrophotography and your processing video using Affinity was easy to follow and a great intro to processing. I can't say the same for the new version. Is there a way to get the older version download of Affinity?
Good tip, especially the painting and shower cap. Oh, at 15:44, I the diffraction spikes look off centered, which I think is from the secondary mirror not being absolutely centered. Can be adjusted easily by adjusting the spider. You'll figure it out once you see it. (Unless that's a choice. I suppose it could be.)
The spider has actually been really bugging me, so I got a new cnc spider! I’m hoping it’s going to solve my off centre spike issues 🙏🏻🤞🏻
@@AstroStace where did you get the CNC spider from?
@@matthewbrown8679 FLO - Backyard universe
Sorry for the noob question here, but how do you figure out how far the sensor needs to be from the flattener or other items? Is it given on some kind of a spec sheet? How do I differentiate between accessories that are just "not compatible with my gear" from those that "just need a bit more space between them and the next bit"?
can someone show evidence that traditional flocking is still better than these new paints, like Black 3.0? It certainly is inferior to VantaBlack but , that's impossible to get unless you're nasa.
Don’t ever take this video down, it’s my go-to to explain this concept.
Damn the audio is horrible. Will find the originally recorded video, as this appears to be someone with a Cell phone or the like back in the audience
Crack on, I did the best I could when asked on the spot to record it on the day unexpectedly
very helpful video, thanks!!
nice
You have really nice toys😁🔭
Awesome! This really helped me with two staked images. Thank you. Thank you!
Hi ! Can you show me the process of extracting Ha from the finished summation ? If for example I shot Ha and O3 through a two-band filter. optolong-ultimate. Thanks :)
Nice Stacy, I did the same most of what you did for my 8” Orion, can’t find a mirror mask or stronger spider arm’s though?
Just asking is there any advantage in using Altair software in preference to SharpCap for which you get a free 12month liecence when ever you buy an Altair camera. I have 5 Altair cameras and have only used Altair software once or twice, worked ok but for some reason DSS wouldn't accept the resulting frames for stacking. Found SharpCap to be more easy to use and useful, especially the latest version which includes sequencer, polar align, plate solve, etc. (I have downloaded NINA but find this more difficult to set up than SC sequencer). I know SC requies an annual fee of around £12 but thats hardly expensive these days.
Extremely beautiful this setup and result
very educational, thanks.
Thank you for taking the time in explaining the camera set up much appreciated.
Thank you very much for your video. I bought the ipolar a few days ago and it will arrive in November (the customs in my country are a little slow in doing their job). I have had problems aligning myself for a long time, I have a lot of expectations for this accessory, I have an EQ3 and I bought the adaptation for the HeQ5 since they have the same size (I was with a friend verifying this). What remains in my doubt is whether I have to continue rotating the mount parallel to it like a sharpcap. Greetings from Argentina.
this is intersting to me because of the portability but looks like the scope has no illumination, maybe a laser pointer is enough for milkyway. Then the eq wedge has the level bubble right below a bolt...major design flaw!
Cap on or not? for histogram Ty
I usually recommend people paint the interior of the scope tube with Black 3 instead of flocking.
Did you actually try it? I wonder how much easier/harder it is to apply and if it chips/degrades after time.
Nice, he could take that further , put a long axle on the back and slap an electric drive on it. Good luck with it.
Great but Volume keeps going up and down, Hard to follow!
Really useful and clear tutorial, I very much appreciate you taking the time to share, thank you! :-)
Thanks so much. This was extremely helpful.
Glad to help :)
How fortunate are you? (I'm not talking about your neck injury of course - hope you recover without too many long term impacts)
Thank you, just so you know I didn’t get this for free. I bought it myself
Great vid Stace. See Altair have a V2 Tri Band. Wonder how that stacks up against V1
Which phone app were you using, Stace?
transmission from a cave !?
I have a Altair Astro 127mm APO on a HEQ5 for observations. But have jut got a Altair 102mm starwave and 26C camera so want to start Astro with that. New to that side of the hobby so looking for pointer
You’re gonna love it! I’m not actually that far from the maypole!!! I’m in longbridge :) light pollution is a bit of an issue but you’ve got yourself a great set up there. Happy to advise on filters etc, all my images are from my back garden :)
can you do a video on how to connect your scope to your computer and how to use software
@@sylvestersnet I will do my best to!
@@AstroStace Your pictures are great.. I have just done a hypa mod on my mount. changed all the bearings and done a Rowan Belt mod on the gears to help with tracking.. Now just need that final push and good skies. Have been watching astrobloke but he doesnt show you how to connect the kit and software. Like eqmod and ascom platform or NENA
@@sylvestersnet thank you , I’ll keep it in mind for a video :)
are all your pictures out of your back garden. They are great. I live over in Maypole Birmingham so know your pain when it comes to light issues
