Introduction to Astrophotography Tool with Ivaylo Stoynov
มุมมอง 2.5K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Firstly a couple of apologies. 1...that its taken so long to publish this video. I've had a lot going on, and time has been of short supply this year! 2..the crazy rainbow noise. I've discovered my pentax camera is much better at stills than video! Anyway in this video we're at the Practical Astronomy Show in Kettering where Ivaylo Stoynov (creator of Astrophotography tool - APT) gave a talk al...
Polar Alignment with Dr Robin Glover and Sharpcap
มุมมอง 8K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Apologies for the shaky video to begin with, this is my first time videoing anything like this! Also i discovered my pentax is much better at still frames rather than video (spoiler - it started to overheat straight away) Anyway in this video we're at the Practical Astronomy Show in Kettering where Dr Robin Glover (creator of sharpcap) gave a talk all about polar alignment. He was kind enough t...
AstroStace and the Mojo strikes back!

Hello world, i'm back! I think! I've been pretty unwell, and i'm still getting better, but something that did me the world of good was joining in and attending an astro camp! I made lots of new friends and had a wonderful time. Anyway i'm sorry for being away for so long, i won't leave it so long next time!

Beginner Photoshop Astrophotography Editing Tutorial

Update May 21! I am slowly in the process of demonetizing all my videos, I was never in it for the money or the glory. I just like to help people. This way you can rest assured i'm not making a video only to trigger an algorithm or as click bait. I have been a bit disillusioned with it all lately, and hopefully this will help.

Just discovering astro and affinity - really useful tutorial. Many thanks 🙂
Can't you just put tube rings on it and throw it on a vixen rail? That would make mounting a piece of cake.
I own a dslr camera how do I download my images to a desktop computer? I also have a two 585 MC yet can't figure out how to do a download. I joined a local astronomy club 2 days ago but have heard nothing from the group yet. Your video is good. Thank you for your help.
This video is so helpful, the other software programs are so complicated. I'm looking forward to post processing my photos from my seestar 50.
Sorry Stace, I only just caught on to this build. Now following with interest. Looking forward to seeing it up n running... and y'know, some break in the clouds!
Brilliant work. What are the dimensions of the actual frame?
It’s about 2m by 1.8m 😃
Well done, but I don't have a good feeling about using two concrete blocks as a telescope pier.
🤣 deary me, you must be new! This pier has been in since 2019 and carried a whole heap of different equipment . It’s never moved. Brilliant way of making a pier, as long as you do it correctly (like I have )
Do you have to merge each adjustment layer before moving on to the next, or can you leave them as-is?
Look fab can’t wait to see the finished item 👍😁
Looks very nice! I want one, too 🙂 Have you made the cute drawing of Luna shown in the first seconds of the video?
I got AI to help me with that drawing :)
It's coming along nicely Stace I'm betting it won't be long before you get a first light with it.
This is great Stace. I am 68 and I am finding it increasingly harder to set up and break down everytime I want to go out so I miss quite a few of those rare clear nights. I need something like this
Nice work! I'm still pondering copying your breeze-block pillar idea.
I'm interested to know the cheapest way to get the best image (ok...aren't we all?)... What do you think about getting a cheap Newtonian. Remove the alumination/reflexion coating from the secondary or the primari or both. It should remove 99.999999% of light. Then you can use a H alpha filter on the eyepiece?
Very nice, do you need a dehumidifier when your equipment is inside?
I’m going to put a small thermostatic heater in there :)
We always knew you were clever but this is impressive !
I learnt a lot from my dad :)
Will you be adding a sign?
Yes, most definitely
Well done, for someone self confessed as having no experience at all at this type of thing, you have done an amazing job and should be very proud of your achievement here, there are many people who claim to be good DIY’ers who would have struggled….kudos to you..👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much. I like to think I learnt a lot from my dad…I think he’s still helping me now :) from wherever he is up there !
Excellent progress! Love the one handed operation of the roof with those runners!
Thank you so much! It’s going to make such a difference to the hobby for me.
Nice work! A word went right past me at 0:40 -- what was it?
Outsideology? They’re a company in the uk that build wonderful observatories
@@AstroStace Ah! Dispels the mystery! Thanks!
Nice work, such a simple design, meant in a good way. No over thinking it, a solid dry space for the telescope and mount, ready to go on short notice.
Thank you ! I wanted to keep it as simple as possible :) I may automate the roof in future but as is, it’s going to make such a difference to the hobby for me !
Brilliant and making such good progress too, you'll be imaging by the weekend 👌. Much better than I could ever attempt well done
Thank you ! Electrics and data cable install booked for 9th November, so not quite but we’re getting there !
Hi, looks really good. Can you give any more details about the rails you used?
I’ve put them in the description of part 3 :) and also showed them on the video a bit more :)
@@AstroStace thanks, it's looking really good
It's coming along nicely Stace looks like it will be complete soon, clear skies
It's looking good.
Superb endeavor Stace. Ad Astra.
Looking brilliant, well done. You'll be up and running soon 😊
Can't wait! Thank you!
Well done Stace! Can’t wait to see it complete and in operation. One day I’ll build up the courage to build one.
Thank you ! I’m so excited, it’s going to make the world of difference to me. If I can do it, you can!
It's looking great 👍
Thank you 🤩
Wow! I know this video is 3 years old, but it's new to me. I am an astrophotography newbie. I learned more about processing images with PS by watching this one video than I have by watching dozens of others. Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge.
Glad to help!
Glad to see your back!!
Good to see you back
Have you heard of Chiro, the faithful dog of the late Akira Fujii, noted Japanese astrophotographer? At one time Chiro was named director of an observatory. Also I seem to recall Chiro found a freshly fallen meteorite -- which is probably the only kind of astronomical discovery a dog can make. Maybe Luna should be the honorary director of your observatory.
I haven’t ! I’ll have a read up! But no doubt Luna will be the director . She’s been very helpful with construction so far 😃
Congratulations en nice to see you back on your channel clear skies
Why can't Sharpcap write software to do an all sky polar align like the ASIAIR? I can see Polaris above my roof and use my polar scope but I run afowl of the roof when having to rotate the RA.
Great Progress so far, this will make the world of difference to the hobby…👍🏻
Welcome back Stace
Great to see you back. Saw you posted on SGL you are building this, looking forward to it. Plus congratulations to you guys on your marriage since I last saw your posts 😊
Thank you so much 😁
Nice to see you back in the garden
Thank you ☺️
What is the pedestal made of ?? It looks like cinder blocks.
Concrete blocks, have a look through my videos for my pier video. It’s been in since 2018/19 and no issues 😁
Nice to see you back neighbour, under our Birmingham skies. Obsy is looking tidy, should be done in time for the winter season?
I’m really hoping so!
Looking good 👍
Nice tidy little observatory that's going to turn out to be, I look forward to the next installment.
Thank you ! I’m so pleased with how it’s going 😃
Merlin and I are glad to see that you and Luna are back in action.
Looking forward to the results!
Those of us who were amateur astronomers 50 years ago may remember the silver shower cap that came on the Criterion RV-6...
Great Tutorial, but If your using ‘Infinity for Ipad’ like I have been struggling to use ( its very complex) many of those features are not available unfortunately 😢
This is a wonderful presentation, the best I’ve found. Post processing is the key for me in upgrading my equipment.
My photos almost instantly bleach out and look terroble :(. With a Canon r8 and a redcat 51.
