Excellent Video, really really helpful and very well explained. Thank you!

no Stato Agente e ho avuto il piacere di far sentire a persone italiane interessateb alla Buona Musica nel 1975/ 76 in Toscana.

Hi Carl, very clever hack of a flyscreen. I made one using a garden basket and posted a howto in french here: th-cam.com/video/lrttFYm6Bj8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lwGe506m1cqrNthg Many thanks

Great starter video for Sharpcap. Really explained the "basics" to get you up and running quickly.

excellent teaching. will watch a good few times. thankyou .

this is just brilliant

Wow. I've been struggling vainly to get decent images ever since I bought my camera. This is by far the best explanation I've yet found. Thank you so much for this video.

Extremely useful video as I am exploring sharpcap for the first time. Appreciate it so much!

Interesting. Thanks.

Excellent video. Just started using sharpcap with a zwo 1224. Your video cleared up a number of issues I was having. Can you zoom in or out on the image? Tried looking at the moon and only got a quarter of it on the monitor, but was able to see the whole moon when I switched over to an eye piece.

Nice trick !

Trifecta is a recent addition to the English language. It first appeared in the early 1970s as a term for a horse-racing bet in which the first, second, and third place finishers are chosen in the correct order. The word has since broadened in meaning: it can now also refer to a group of three (usually desirable) things

I discovered this quite by accident, years ago. One thing about it that I LOVE is pausing the video or slowing it down so it looks more like a 'regular' video. If you pause it, the displayed picture is still as clear as a bell. No blur. Even road signs caught on the video when driving down the highway at 80 mph are clear and easy to read. I set the camera up like this the first time on the dashboard of my car and drove around Alamogordo, New Mexico for about 45 minutes. The video plays back in about 5 minutes, but when I pause it I can CLEARLY see everything on the screen - signs, license plates, store hours posted on shop doors, peoples faces, etc. I now have many videos like this of places I have visited which will be very nice to look back on many years from now when 'reminiscing'. OK, I am almost 80 now, but maybe my great grandkids can get some pleasure from them. I would give a lot to have videos like these of the neighborhoods I have lived in over the past 75 years..... sigh....

Far from being easy workflow

Hi Carl, It has been along while since this video was put up. I have had an extremely long break from astro' stuff. I am revisiting all the videos that I put away to refresh the memory bank on what to do with all the different astro programs. The weather has been lousy down here, I cant imagine how cloudy it has been for months I cant recall it been so bad or that I have never taken any notice of it before getting into astrophotography. We are supposed to get a couple of sunny days down here so I am hoping to get some solar imaging done, been playing with different cameras and getting the program sharpcap pro up and running, so when I stumbled upon this video again I found it will help no end. Cheers Robert

Nobody commented on this yet? This is a _great_ EAA video that should give anyone hope with light polluted skies, a Canon DSLR, and the willingness to learn. Thanks for taking the time to post this, sorry it took 3 years to find it.

Carl - I'm a complete novice and have been struggling with understanding SharpCap. Your video description was right on. Extremely well done. I've subscribed so I can learn more from you. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your great teaching skills.

I can't thank you enough for this tutorial. I was figuratively beating my head against the wall trying to figure out sharpcap. This was a masterclass of lucid explanation.

Excellent video! I feel like I'm ready to jump in an get started as soon as the ZWO camera I just ordered arrives!

Carl, you're a natural for explaining things clearly and concisely. I'll bet you're not a teacher because, unfortunately, teachers just aren't as good! Thanks man.

thanks so much i have been watching this video over and over to figure out the techniques of capturing planet videos. its very cold here in the winter and going out to capture images isnt fun when you cant get anything to work. so hopefully tonight this will not be a problem anymore. thanks again for this video it has really helped!

Can i do EAA with canon 700D use it with sharpcap?

Best video I have seem for stacking I have ever watched thank you.

What bin are you using?

This video is an absolute gem. Thank you for posting, and subscribed for sure.

Very instructional, helpful video. I tried your advice last night with Altair & M15 with decent results. Thank you very much.

Awesome, thanks for posting

Answers to so many questions. Thank you.

What cable are you using with your DSLR?

Thank you so much. Best You tube video on this subject !

Thanks much!!! You answered a lot of last nights questions :-) I did the day stuff and tonight will give it another go

I was having problems using SharpCap until I found your very helpful video, thank you.

Great video. Can I ask, was your canon 650d astro modified or just factory?

Great video Carl, very informative and I love the work flow!

Thank thank thank you for a very good overview of sharp cap and stacking. Got into the hobby a couple years ago and have evolved to the point of using these type tools.

Such a great instruction. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent video Carl👍 I learned a lot. I love your SharpCap videos. I’m just starting out, have a 224mc & SharpCap Pro. I haven’t even taken one image as of yet but with this video and your “Easy way to learn VA/EAA” video I have now a great understanding of how these things work. Your explanations of the Histogram & how to use this tool are outstanding. Thank you for your work and anything more you can show in SharpCap, especially with the 224mc, will be greatly appreciated by me:) This is truly awesome stuff.

Brilliant video. Just starting with this camera and SharpCap and finally I've found a video that lets me get started. Thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! As a a beginner this is so helpful to me!

Beautifully done. It is like some one switched on a bright light in dark cave.

Hi Carl.. Thank you.. Appreciate your teaching.. Very cool.. Love from Malaysia.

Thank you so much for this, it helps me alot to make everything working properley.👍

Do you need an IR cut filter as 224 only has AR?

Great Information Carl! I love my IOptron AZMP mount. Is it impossible to achieve equitorial tracking or at least imroved sub times using a properly dialed in wedge? I utilized a satellite dish mounting system and it is rock solid. The pier is an aluminum pole in reinforced concrete. I attempted it last night with wonderful seeing conditions and was heart broken with the results. I am running it with an asiair plus, & an OAG. I was able to polar align using the asiair plus and thought that I could then perform a plate solve and thought that would enable the mount to track a given object and use my guiding camera/feature. I have had success with the AZGTI in EQ mode with the same setup. I think this mount would out perform the AZGTI in every aspect of tracking. So I hope there is some work around to make this happen. Has anyone had success making this happen without an EQ mode option selection? I realize it does not have the eq mode choice in the hand controller. I have it connected to the asiair plus via the eq mod cable and do not need to use the hand controller. Thank you.

3 months? I've only had 2 clear nights in 3 months here in England. Wouldn't you want as long an exposure as you can get away with without trailing?

Yeah. You better apologize for the rain, mate! 🤣 Just kidding: Awesome video! I'm a long time visual astronomer trying to get into EAA to show my students DSO. And I'm still struggling... 😉

Thank you for that very informative and clear tutorial for Sharpcap. It answered all my questions.

This is beautiful. All of your videos are very helpful. Where possible could you give a list of equipment that you have used for each of the please? Thanks 🙏

Carl, many thanks for this video. Just shows what little we need for EAA if you approach it in small simple steps as you have done. I like this kind of video because it’s more grounded as opposed to the more complex stuff that we can burden ourselves with in this great hobby we find ourselves indulging.

I owned a Lecson AC1 and AP1X Power Amp with the Gale GS401A Speakers. Linn Sondek and a Rotel CD player. The Lecson and the Gales look fantastic even now. The system sounded fantastic very musical. Unlike some of the systems around today.
