Planning A Night of Imaging

With some DSLRs, light may pass through the viewfinder and get to the sensor possibly messing up your images. In this video, I will show you what this looks like and how to spot it in your Darks. Keep in mind, what I share also applies to your light frames.

C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS - Southern Hemisphere
มุมมอง 3.1K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
A couple of our viewers, @bhdamiati & @gary122 had questions about the visibility and imaging of comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS in the southern hemisphere. Thank you for asking and here you go. Good luck to everyone and I would love to see what you capture - post your images in our FB group Astro Venture DSLR.
Chasing Another Comet! C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-Atlas)
มุมมอง 7K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
There is a lot of hype around our Oort Cloud visitor, C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-Atlas). The problem is that this comet plays peek-a-boo with us and the horizon around its perihelion point and begins to exit as it rises in the northern sky. I share my thoughts on when it might be best to capture this visitor. But if you miss it, you only have to wait 26,000 years for it to come by again.
Scoring Images

A typical astro image may include hundreds of images. Moderate to poor images will degrade the end product. Watch as I show you how to scrutinize and eliminate images at a level you are unable to do and at a MUCH faster rate.

    Thanks for this post. For Flaming Star and the Heart and Soul I am going with 90-100 shots at 2 min. I do have an H-Alpha filter that fits into my Astro modified D810 Nikon. It is somewhat of a pain to pop that in and out while outdoors. Would it give me more detail in the Nebula or would the length of shooting be enough without that H-Alpha? Would be doing the same for the Flaming Star as well. I'm in my backyard shooting into a Bortle 3 sky. Moved out of Vegas to Pahrump. Only bad area for shooting is South of me where the main town is.

    • @astroventure2221
      @astroventure2221 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @DLMVegas Pahrump, that could have some good skies. If you've got good Skies, which I think you would there, then I would attempt it without an H Alpha filter. My night of shooting I think got squashed. I have some high thin clouds overhead.

    Just a question. Why so high iso?

    • @astroventure2221
      @astroventure2221 หลายเดือนก่อน

      With the Skyguider Pro, and not guiding, I'm limited to how long I can shoot to avoid star trails and still get enough data on my histogram, but also pick up some of the dark nebulosity around the cluster. There was a time that I was afraid of the noise, but less so with the tools available such as noise exterminator and hours of data. Ultimately it all came down to getting my histogram where I wanted it.

    • @Michael0bergmann

      @@astroventure2221Thanks for a fast response 😊 I think dynamic range is very important. With a high iso we lose opportunities to get as much color and luminosity out of photos.

    Atlas was the first naked eye comet I've ever seen. I think the comet was very disappointing to those who waited for it to climb higher in the sky. I saw it on 10/15 out at a dark sky location (spiral Jetty Utah) and I thought it was amazing. I took the whole family out to see it and everyone had a good time and thought it was impressive to see. I think the hype was good, but they needed to be more honest when it started to become less visible.

The mounts I’m currently considering are iOptron SkyGuider Pro and the Sky watcher star GTi or wait an save for the EQM-35.

    Many DSLRs, certainly the Canons I've used and owned, have a small rubber piece about the size of a postage stamp attached to the neck loop.
