Cool capture Jason

As I recall Betty's Kitchen was a restaurant in this area that burned down years ago. The name has stuck.

Nice man!!!

That was cool!

Very cool! Thank you sir.

I definitely regret not buying this or the 16" setup. I'm quite sad to see Orion not keep this product line going. It was a handsome scope and its GOTO was good for non-astrophotography (have the 10" GOTO dob that I "mated" with the Starsense mount).

I'm glad you got to capture the Aurora last Friday night bud.

Nice one pal.

Why are you using a diagonal? 🤔

Lucky you I can't see crap in phoenix

Very nice. I'm glad to see you caught it.

It was great here in Michigan, I was able to see overhead aurora and color for the first time, I’m hoping to see more tonight.

I'm at 53 north. I was photographing south of my house to capture images. And WOW!!

Beautifully captured. Although I must say: This time it was a clear advantage to be farther north (Switzerland is at about 47 degrees). The spectacle was clearly visible with your naked eyes. But on camera it was just breathtaking, lasting at least for an hour.

Great capture Jason. It was crazy bright right up here in Auckland too.

Awesome! I was capturing a wide field view of M81 area last night and was noticing red noise in several images. I too am at 32N.

Thanks for that! I live in Yuma also and saw a little of it. Good job!

Thanks.

Wow mate that's awesome well done for catching them.

Hi Jason, Yep, big improvement over the 12 years, and that's with the 2012 capture being pretty good to begin with! I love your observatory and thought about getting one here, but I am afraid of my super high humidity that everything would be covered with mildew. Let's see, 2012 ... you were just graduating from high school, right? Ha. That 2012 CCD OSC looked like a beast!

Just stopped before you reveal the finished picture. THIRTY NINE HOURS!! Are you out of your mind 🤣🤩?!! Already the details of these fine nebula-tube-like-shapes on the NINA-screens are insane! I don't have the patience (and computer) to get more than an hour, and even if I had my dslr, my mount, my dewshield or my sd-card would fail 😫😆! Still very happy with what I can capture keeping it simple. If there won't be another comment on the final image, then be sure I liked it so much that I fainted, fell of the chair, hurt my head and had to go to the emergency 😱😊

BEAUTIFUL images and very well presented, great job! If I had to choose one, it would still be the first one, the Orion Nebula. Everyone says it's an easy target, but it isn't if you want to get it right! You found the right balance between the very bright center stars and all the beautiful nebulosity and the best part in my opinion is the running man on top of it. Second would be the last one RHO bla bla, with that dark nebulosity beautifully captured as well. Thx for sharing 🤩!

Ahhh, neowise! It was such a treat! I had just gotten into astrophotography and this was such a great target. Although I had even less of a clue then now I still go back to these images with great pleasure. One even made into the local newspaper ☺!

WHOW!! What a difference! I already liked your first picture, but the new one, oh boy 🤩! Great job! I love sombrero, already the name is so intriguing, and its unique shape makes it a beautiful target. The amount of detail of the rim in your new image is just astounding. I took pictures of it with my dslr behind the NexStar 6SE and it's alt-az-mount 3 years ago. No comparison of course, but still blew me away what is possible with that simple setup! Thx for sharing.

Do it in 3 minutes see what it on like

Hey bro... Great video. I really liked the star trail effect. What a difference between OSC and Mono. M104 is one of my favies.

Nice work Jason at least you’ve had clear skies , uk 🇬🇧 skies have been terrible for months now with maybe the very odd clear night, I’ve managed 2 nights in 4 months

Great video Jason! Your 2012 version is pretty good mate, but your latest image is excellent! Nice to see the equipment you were using from 12 years ago, and comparing it to today’s equipment! The gear is getting better all the time! 😀 Clear skies Jason!

Great job Jason. Well it may have been 12 years before you got back to image it again but that's faster than me...... I haven't imaged M104 at all! Better get my act together

Lovely job Jason, that old camera there was amazing, seemed huge but cool to see astrophotography back at this stage too.

Very nice Jason. Thanks for sharing.

Nice man! 12 years is a long time. That CCD camera did a great job though!

Great video, and a great image. 👍

Lovely image mate I remember shooting this in 2015 with my 10" newtonian & modified DSLR at a star party in 2015 but it were pretty low down so after 3 subs I moved on to the needle galaxy but I did process the image anyway. Maybe I'll get back to it someday, clear skies!!!

Nice BTS video, Jason. I am working on setting up my EdgeHD and the ZWO EAF. This video is very helpful.

Thank you. 👍🏻

Great time lapse that mate really like that

Nicely done Jason, sometimes I think time lapses go the best with ambient music. Cheers !! Look forward to more test mate.

Hi Jason, Interesting night in the desert. Great landscape final images and polar animation video. That was an awesome Falcon 9 video. I guess that was the first stage coming back to land. I'd be too scared to try being out in "Nowhere" by myself. I suppose the Glock supplied some assurance. .

Very nice timelapse. Test a success I'd say.

That Nikon does a Great Job...Can't wait to see it run in darker skies....The Stars should really pop....

Nice Photos Jason, Landscape Astrophotography is Addicting....Im going thru a Phase right now with it....I've learned how to Focus Stack and Composite which makes for an awesome photo...It is nice to just get out and relax under the stars....Clear Skies my Fellow Scorpion Bro...

Nice Timelapse Jason, & Ollie’s music 👍

Great shots, man! I like to use Stellarium to see what time the Milky Way will be high enough to shoot (there's an app for both Apple and Android). BTW, it's not the spiders and scorpions I have issues with, it's always the damn ants!

Excellent photos, especially for a first time out doing landscape. Glad to see you survived the night. And an awesome capture of the Falcon Rocket launch...... ah I mean,,,, curse you Starlink for ruining our images!!🤣.

Great video, Jason! MW Landscape pix are something I've set my sights on this year after previously only shooting the usual suspects (Orion, Andromeda...etc). I guess I think they just tell a better overall story than a deep sky object shot (for me, anyway). Alpha Scorpii looks like a great site! I usually go to Alamo Lake, but even there a lot of artificial light surrounds you (street lamps, trailer lights, constant car movements). Can anyone use the site? Best wishes...David.

Great video Jason, lovely images, the star trail looked very cool, keep up the great work.
