Hello and welcome! I am of course Mark Carter and my hope is to share the cosmos with you!
The purpose of this channel is to create a platform that creates a space where anyone can ask questions about the content and ideally learn something new.
About me:
I am an astrophotographer from Kansas City, Missouri. When the nights are clear, I have my telescope setup to image nebulas, galaxies and other cosmic targets to produce high resolution imagery. I live with my wife and son.
About my astrophotography:
I have been awarded with a Nasa Astronomy Photo of the Day recognition from January 20, 2022, as well as a current 3x ZWO Astronomy Picture of the Week winner. I've had images shared across the globe in different Astronomical Societies and over the past few years of doing this, I've worked with fellow astrophotographers all over the globe sharing techniques and advice.

Imaging Peculiar Galaxies 164,000,000 light-years away!
Tonight, I'm going after a pair of interacting galaxies ~ 164,000,000 light-years away from Earth. Due to the tidal forces of their gravities interacting with the other galaxy, the galaxies are slowly being pulled part. Arp even stated when he first cataloged these galaxies as peculiar filaments. This was in references to the "tails" that have been subsequently pulled away from the galaxies as a result of these tidal forces.

I imaged The Whirlpool Galaxy just 24 Million Light-Years Away
มุมมอง 12Kปีที่แล้ว
In this video, I imaged the Whirlpool Galaxy 24 million light-years away from my home. The Whirlpool Galaxy is one of the nearest galaxies to the Milky Way, relatively speaking, and is a excellent target for deep sky imaging. I used a dedicated astronomy camera to image the galaxy, and the results are amazing! If you're interested in astronomy, or just want to see some incredible deep sky image...

Thanks!!!
Thanks for the vid. Just got the CEM 70 for my Edge 9.25. I was pulling my hair out though trying to get the mount to talk to NINA. My fault for installing iGuider when the mount didn't have it... (I thought it was part of iPolar) took a week to sort it out. smh. All good now, and very happy with the mount. iOptron customer service was good help too. oh, my kit weigh in at 18kg.
Thanks for the great unboxing video. Under comments you mentioned parting away with this scope. Is it because it was not good and second how did the pictures turn out ? Thanks again and enjoyed watching your video
Sounds like it's all about you and your hobby. Wrong statement,your wife needs your support and help more than ever.Listen to yourself mine this mine that ,all about you and prays. The nigh sky will aways be there. Take a break and be a husband and father..
Do you have any issues with this mount wobbling in wind?
I hope your astro images turn out better then this upload's audio ;)
Your video is way too shaky. You have fix this.
Can I copy this and make a reels?
That’s a great and easy to follow explanation off the advance sequence. Just a question about PHD2 do I need to start it up and connect to camera and mount and start loping? Or will N.I.N.A do that ?
Ok I give what’s your favorite football team?
Great video! However, I am really struggling with Explore Scientific 127mm metal version. I get lot of vignetting even after upgrading the reducer with M48 threads with ZWO2600MC PRO. Do you think the sensor is too big for this scope, should I go for a small sensor, something like ZWO 585MC Pro? Please do let me know. Thanks again.
Can I ask if you use an Oag? And which model? And also if you don’t mind what size is that cover? Thanks, enjoyed the video 🙏🏼
Was it easy to remove the stock focuser from the carbon fiber version?
Hello, I have a problem with saving, whatever I choose (jepg or tiff), the image is not processed. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you so much for the video. I’m currently making a side-by-side set up and I do know that they have the synchronized dither I just wanted to take on how I could do synchronized auto focus so I know it really doesn’t have that but can we do it wait or should I just run a second target being the same Basically this way part of that after say 10 photos I appreciate it
at 2:43 mark when you pressed the button does that also slew the mount to the selected target?
Great review.
What size filters are these?
Thanks you for the video. I shall now be using Stellarium as part of my routine. 👍
Very straight forward! You've got a new subscriber now!!!
What are the effects of having a custom horizon????
Very solid tip about the masking tape. Thanks so much for the video. I've just got myself the 2600MM.
Bit late to the party getting my 2690mm in the next few days! 👏👏 I have the same scope can I ask your back focus I currently have a 1600mm I think it’s 108? Can I ask what calibration frames you use with the 2600 please, I heard you mention darks in the video, great video it will really be helpful to me Thank you 🙏🏼
Nice non-bias review. I am setting up my 1st observatory and just purchased this mount. It has not yet been delivered, and I am looking at videos to help me through the initial setup process once delivered. Thank you!
Wow just purchased my ASI2600mm pro. Hope to use it with the Redcat51 and EFW. Many thanks
The case is nice for shipping, but... The scope isn't going to fit in there once you start bolting accessories on, and who wants to completely disassemble and reassemble the imaging assembly every time you use it.
FedEx is horrible, all my boxes come like that from them, the latest disaster a $2,700 guitar. I've had better luck with UPS the last few years. Good thing it wasn't an AT 80 EDL or 80 ED, no case for those FedEx would have mangled em.
Great video! What brand/type of narrowband filters are you using?
Fantastic job! I'm a former schoolteacher and you are an excellent instructor.
I am new to Pixinsight and am using its free 45-day trial. I just imaged NGC 6888 and plan on processing it later this evening. thank you for the video. Hopefully, you will do more videos like this on processing in Pixinsight with OSC. I have a ASI2600MC-P.
Strange ST4 faster? Camera-> computer(...calculate ... )computer->camera->mount ! No ST4 Camera->computer(...calculate...)Computer->mount.
I'm a little bit disappointed in your quoted guiding numbers. The AM5 routinely gets me between 0.3" and 0.6" with a C11 non there less on a TC40 tripod. The only problem is it had trouble dampening breeze when I have the aluminum dew shield on and was looking for something more capable.
Interesting video. An 80 mm APO costs just as much as a Bresser 127/1200 mm f9.4 achromat (475$) and more than a Bresser 102/1000 mm f9.8 (350$). I wonder which one is overall better for normal use (not for astrophotography). I guess the 127/1200 mm achromat schould be better since the difference in aperture is so big. I would really apreciate your opinion on this :). Thank you!
Wow! Excellent explanation and easy to follow. Thanks
Awesome! Thanks!
In all honesty you would be a perfect host for an educational TV show, lol
Best video to explain to my wife why I bought this camera 😂🎉
Excellent content and very well explained, nice mount! subbed! I'm new to these types of mounts as I just received the HEM 27 and I can't get my head around the zero/ home position. Do I rough polar alignment first and not turn on the mount and then do zero position and then park the mount for ipolar setup? Sorry if this doesn't make sense. newb here.
Nice work
Looking good!
starting in astrophotography and ordered a used CEM70G, barely used, and curious how much more different it is from the base model. I know it's USB port is 3.0 capable for faster relay on info. But still learning a lot more and this video helped give me a better understanding how mounts work in general
Nice and realistic review. You probably have 3-5+ years experience. Talking a lot of sense. What is your location bortle? What is average seeing? Yes, sometimes it is terrific, sometimes total sheeit. It should be bought from reputable store, and returned immediately, if something wrong. No tinkering, no attempt to fix. There is only one month to return. For example, I realized that it is sheeit after sending my PHD2 logs to PHD2 support. Then return was problematic.
This is actually amazing bro keep it up 💪
Do you think that 4Lb image train is a lot? ASI1600 is ancient camera. You could compare with QHY533m or QHY268m; that could have been fair fight.
Too many to count, crazy how God made all this.
