Hi Jason! Well, I installed the RGB filters in the following way: the side where the filter color is clearly visible faces the camera. Am I correct? I installed the L regardless of the side. I would appreciate your comments, please, since this weekend I am going to test them in B2 skies and it would be better to have them installed correctly. Thanks and clear skies!

that's sounds correct, the Luminance makes no difference from what I can tell.

@@AZ4Runner Thanks Jason! CS

Good question, a SCT has a corrector plate that can dew up for one, RC's and Newt do not. Although the RC has a larger secondary obstruction it has pair hyperbolic mirrors thus eliminating the need for a Coma corrector like a newt would. another thing to consider would be the Focal length and focal ratio. Another thing about the RC is that it is made specifically for Astrophotography unlike the SCTs and Newts which are also used visually. The one thing that steered me to the RC over a newt was the position of the focuser and the ability to balance easier. Thanks for watching.

sometime I fall asleep watching. very peaceful

it is as challenging as Astro

it is pretty challenging, but advances in the hobby have made it easier.

thanks 😍

🐟

very cool to see for sure!!

Thanks Pat!

for sure!

we were fortunate, not many clouds during launch. CS

Thanks.. I'm gonna try and get that one too with a telephoto lens maybe!

Thanks Simon!

Thanks Tich!

Thanks for taking the time and watching Ron!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks Ollie!

spaceflightnow.com/launch-schedule/ Just focus on the ones launching from Vandenberg.

@@AZ4Runner Hi Jason. If it is not too much trouble, could you please share how you captured the video. Cell phone, DSLR? Settings? Tripod? Thanks!

This was with with my Cell Phone no tripod. Samsung S22+ default video settings.

@@AZ4Runner Thanks again Jason! By the way, I believe that there’s another one scheduled for tonight at 9:00 pm.

yes, I'm gonna try and get a close up with my zoom lens.. hopefully it tracks like the others.

😀

Thanks Tich, hoping all goes well with you. CS

Thanks Simon!!

Yes Doing well Ray. Can't wait for September.

Me either. Cs

Thanks Logan

I've been here since 86 and did not know that, but it makes sense.

Got ate by mosquitoes but yeah!

@@AZ4Runner lol! Dang mosquitoes.

Thank you!

I totally agree! I wanted to go with the 16" but I would have needed a step ladder to get to the eyepiece and that is why I got the 14", the goto is superb and never fails once aligned. I do wish Orion kept the line going. Looks like they are trimming their inventory down a bit. very sad indeed,

It was pretty cool!

thanks Ollie!

good eye.. I was doing visual and didn't take it off. I was lazy.

@@AZ4Runner Looks smaller than 150mm, maybe 90-102?

it is a 150 Mak-Cas if that is what u r referencing. I love the scope.. great for planetary both for Astropbotography and visual.

that is too bad. We didn't get much but just enuff.

Did you get to see it Ray?

No I missed it. I might try again tonight.

That is so cool Brody! hoping to see more tonight as well.

53 North? musta a been a amazing show!

@@AZ4Runner horizon to horizon and fully overhead.

47 degrees wow, I am super jealous!

Awesome Logan.. Hopefully I'm more prepared tonight fingers crossed.

mee too Pat.. I was capturing m81 and 82 with my redcat and 2600. my LP gradient was not right.. and this must be why. CS

Think we'll get another show tonight? I might head up north a bit to get a better vantage point if so.

@@AZ4Runner Looking at the aurora map from services.swpc.noaa.gov/images/aurora-forecast-northern-hemisphere.jpg for tonight it looks like there is a possibility. North is good!

@@AZ4Runner Worth trying!

Think you guys are gonna get a second go at it? I hope so. CS

Thanks mate fingers crossed
