Zoom into the Orion Nebula
มุมมอง 2.8K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
This animation took over 5000 frames to complete, taken over a period of three months. Each frame is a 60 second exposure. Multiple focal lengths were used, from 15mm to 600mm. The images were all registered (aligned) with each other and the zoom was accomplished digitally, dissolving from one focal length into another. With this method I did my best to emphasize the transient nature of the nig...
Canon R8 Astro IR Mod - A Boring and Tedious Video
มุมมอง 251ปีที่แล้ว
Warning: This video is very boring and overly long. Join me as I poke and prod my way around removing the IR block filter from the sensor on a Canon R8. It all works out in the end.
Journey into the Lagoon
มุมมอง 493ปีที่แล้ว
Sit back as we zoom into M8, the Lagoon Nebula. One of the brightest nebula in the sky, and situated right in the middle of the Milky Way, it's easily visible with the naked eye from a dark site. This video was created by compositing many different images taken at different focal lengths over five nights. All shot from Mt. Pinos, an hour and a half north of Los Angeles. Lenses: Zeiss Contax 25m...
Astronomy Dark Sites - Granite Pass
มุมมอง 484ปีที่แล้ว
This is my favorite non-summer location to practice astronomy. Cell reception and accessible via passenger car if you're fine traveling down a mile of dirt road. Music is Maarten Schellekens - New Life
A Night at Granite Pass

Just a little short film about one of my favorite spots for amateur astronomy, Granite Pass in the Mojave National Preserve. Music: Maarten Schellekens - Some Bass and Drums
Astrophotography Weekend
มุมมอง 155ปีที่แล้ว
Spent a few nights out in the desert doing some astrophotography. Didn't have much else to do out there so I figured I'd make a short film about the process.

Astronomy Dark Sites - Amboy Crater
มุมมอง 76ปีที่แล้ว
Some timelapse and video footage from the Amboy Crater trailhead parking lot, where I do a lot of my winter observing from. 3.5 hour drive from my home in LA but very very dark! Just about as dark as you can find in Southern California with the exception of northern Death Valley National Park
Absolutely beautiful! Did you read "The Dobsonian Telescope" before you began designing the telescope's structure? I've heard great things about it.
How do you not have more views wow!!!
Unreal
Ok, dude. This was amazing. I'm not planning to build a truss, but this was fun to watch. Mr. Woggers sends his regards!
Hi friend ! your Stonecutters sitting bench is great haha Are the plans you show at the beginning on any website? I am very inspired to make my own telescope, beautiful video, congratulations
Maravilloso el vídeo!! Felicidades, soy de Chile!! Me encanta la bóveda celeste! Tengo un telescopio y le fabrique una montura de Dobson!
Absolutely mesmerizing! You’re a talented guy.
If you have the plans for the scope, can I have it? I wanna try to build one for myself. Thanks...
I'm really envious ...where I live there is only light pollution...
Great and inspiring video! I am also building my 12" F/5 and your work is going to be helpful.
Absolutely insane production quality! You deserve more subs!
proper gedaan
Do you have extra of the altitude-bearing material you used? I only need a small strip like you and everyone sells it in huge sheets which are really expensive. Great video by the way.
👍🏻
Just amazing!
Great job! 👍 You have got some serious lenses! 😮
Hi, I have a MEADE starfinder 12.5". the carton tube has seen better days, i also want to do rebuild it into something exactly what you have build. i want to rebuild it in a way that i can use it to take pictures and use it for normal observation. is it possible to share the measurements so i can start calculating what my cost is going to be for the rebuild ?
I skipped to the end. I saw the Toyota. I knew this was going to be a great video.
lol this is rubbish where did the optics come from?. When I build my scope I ground and polished my own primary mirror
Why the hostility? No need to project your insecurity out in the open, there is therapy for that. The optics came from a Discovery dob I found for cheap locally with mirrors made by Terry Ostahowski who makes some of the highest quality mirrors out there. I've grinded my own mirrors on past scopes but since this mirror basically fell into my lap for cheap I decided to build the telescope around it. He's a far better optician than you or I will ever be.
These run about $6,000 if bought commercially. How much did you spend?
I'd estimate around $1200, including $800 for the premium mirrors.
Super profesionalism
I was surprised at the thickness of aluminum plate you were able to work with the router, jigsaw, and hole saws-I struggle with anything over 3/16” even using WD-40. Any tips on what bits, blades, etc to use. Great video and beautiful scope, I especially liked the camera riding along with the router 😂
Congratulation. Thats amazing!
Allah created the seventh heavens...what we explore is only the first heaven...the rest of the six are beyond us human to explore...watch the seventh heavens of Allah..Allah throne.

Hello, have a good time Have dreamy and relaxing moments How much beauty and perfection is hidden in this picture, it is really lovely and wonderful, your skills are excellent, congratulations, this natural and relaxing music frees and releases the inside, thank you for your wonderful and wonderful video, dear colleague.
excelente trabajo
This is Phenomenal, well done. From the processing/editing of the mages, at the various FL, to the video production. Very impressed. Do you mind if I share it?
Thank you and yes, please share.
The depth of field was really unexpected. I hope i get to see the stars like this some day. Being disabled seriously sucks the living out of life.
Fantastic idea and fantastic execution! Really well done. Thanks for doing this and thanks for sharing!
This is being done with a commercial bought telescope. I can't even begin to imagine what we are going to be able to see with The Giant Magellan Telescope. 10/10
Hey bud is the procedure same for eos rp? If not then can you tell me whats the difference?
I don't know, I haven't taken apart a RP. I'm sure it's similar.
Looks really nice! Great Job :) Could you share some images that you captured with it?
I cannot. This telescope is for visual astronomy. It is not designed to be used with a camera.
Where is your dobsonian results
The dobsonian is strictly for visual, I don't image with it.
The Noctua is a perfect choice for a fan, seems like an often overlooked mod
Agreed. No vibrations at a high magnifications. And it's very quiet which is nice when I'm under dark skies in the wilderness and want to appreciate the silence.
Enjoyed the video!
Awesome video work sir! Well done!
Fantastic video, man. I’m gearing up for my first build and I appreciate this.
Cool. I’ve been wanting to get up to that site for a while as a dark sky site. Thanks for this. I like your videos.
What camera and lens did you use to record this video? Thanks <3
An absolute work of art 🙏
I have the same glue brush 😉
Wood worker, you are, welder, not so much. Great job overall, fantastic telescope
Yeah still working on that. This was my first time welding aluminum with a mig gun. Getting better and hope to get a tig setup one of these days. There is nothing riskier than posting your welds on the internet.
Like a boss! Pretty dang complex device using fairly basic tools. My hat's off to you, Sir! 👍
Newt is a really small and old file it runs on Linux mint I had a pro set it up where did you get the mirrors did polish them yourself :)
No, the mirrors are from a Discovery 12.5" Dob back from when Terry Ostahowski was making their mirrors. I bought the scope off of Craigslist solely for the optics as they are excellent.
@@averted_vision Thanks for the response nice to see a fellow builder I need the motivation I need to fix up my mount for the coming eclipse :)
How much did this scope cost in materials, not including equipment and your talented labor but just materials?
That's a great question, I really didn't keep track of that as the answer would scare me. If I had to guess I'd say around $1400 which includes the donor optics.
I'm having difficulty finding the balance point, could you help? as you did?
I was able to roughly calculate the center of gravity in Solidworks. Once you are close it's easy to add counterweight to either the mirror side of the secondary side. Keep in mind the weight of the telrad, finder scope and eyepieces while calculating. It's also easier to err on the side of the secondary being overweight as it's much more convenient to add counterweight to the mirror box.
GOOD
mirror 8" $$$$ :((( i cant buy it
and not parabol
i am so sorry if i am late but how much one of this will cost looks amazing
