Wow, what an insane amount of dusty nebulosity you guys captured around M42. And it was nice to get to travel to all four corners of the galax........ I mean, Alpha Scorpia. We are back into another night of heavy rain with widespread flooding/evacuations etc so a bit of dry desert would be good right about now.
A pleasure watching your channel. You are very right, it's the journey that's most important. Great results guy's. The desert is a special place and we are blessed here in AZ to have darker sky's than most states. I am just starting my journey into astrophotography and people like you are an inspiration, even to an old guy like me :) Thank you for sharing.
Awesome video! When I first got into astrophotography I used to drag my friend out with me to dark sites around SoCal and this gives me tons of nostalgia. Cherish those moments! That site is insane you have there, not just the darkness but the horizon too!
Hopefully I learn to process the RGB a bit better... I'm kinda spoiled cause usually I use my OSC for broadband targets still. Thanks for watching & clear skies.
Haha..I love the Vaudville hike thru Alpha Scorpii......LOL...When I walked it It reminded me of walking the Flight Deck of a Carrier.....Love the Collaboration...You guys had a Killer Image....NiteZpeed Returns to Alpha Scorpii March 25 and I can't wait..Ive missed my Scorpion Brothers... And Congrats on Affiliation with HPS and OPT....Well Deserved....
Hi Jason, I didn't know your plot of land at Alpha Scorpii was so large. You certainly got a workout showing us the four corners. Quite interesting. Interesting view of Orion without the red channel. But then you did add that red channel for the other view. I never shot M42 in RGB mono and I think I will give it a shot the next few nights. I always used an OSC or narrowband. - Patrick -
yeah Pat.. a 10 Acre plot. was a workout for sure. I did manage to capture Red just had to do it at home, so it was not as clean. I still need to improve my processing in RGB , I usually use OSC on broadband targets. CS
Great stuff Jason those images turned out great, it were good seeing the site as you were walking around from point to pint but yeah I hear ya I'm old to so don't do much walking lol. Clear skies & look forward to the next video.
Hey Jason, cracking video mate! With all that land you should start a cactus farm🤣 I was knackered just watching you walk that! I take it, this vid was when you did the live stream that i popped in to when I was in Thailand! Sadly, That all seems a distant memory already as I’m back to work now! (Doing Glenn’s obsey base Wed 8th) 😀 Both images are awesome Jason, although the blue version has something different! I tend to do all filters in one night, I’m too impatient 🤣 But I’m going to do some long projects, I’ve decided, so will do one filter per night! Great job mate, thanks for sharing and clear skies!
yes, this was the same time, Oh, Glenn is gonna put you to work now! I usually do 1 filter a night so I can have the same gradient across all my stacked images. I think it makes it a little easier to process. At least that is my thought on the matter. CS.
Welp, I gotta binge these, now. These are great. I love watching Star Party type stuff with multiple people imagine. Super cool to see the community just getting together. Ya'll ever cook hotdogs and stuff out there by a fire? That'd make for a great time. 😅
we actually did dogs and burger at the 1st AlphaScorpiiPalooza. I think you might find some grillin footage in my Live Stream from 4-22-23. it was Epic despite the couds.
Looks like you would need to get a solar generator and a solar panel to use to charge the solar generator. I have both and they work great when I go out to my dark sky site. CS!
Awesome video, Jason. I watched it twice. Thank you for the link!
Thanks Nick! thanks for the Cable management products!
Cool video AZ!🤘
I was out of breath watching you Walk that too! 😂
Thanks Dylan! I was work out after that walk..... thanks for hanging out on the Live Stream. CS

Man Logan, I'm hoping your weather turns around. My eye start twitching if I can't setup and take images.
Cool video Jason, I enjoyed seeing all of A Scorp and your awesome image!
Thanks Joe, hope all is going well in Colorado. I might be the market for a cutting board.

Thanks for watching and the kind words. If your ever down near Yuma, look us up. we love to talk Astro anytime. Clear skies
Great video and images! I enjoy all of the content you produce! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Bill, really appreciate it. I know my videos run a little long, but I try to tell a story, kinda like a little episode. Thanks for watching.

it is always nice to have someone to go out with..makes the time go by when out in the middle of the emptiness.. haha
Amazing to see blue sky and tshirts in February. It is -15 here with eternal clouds.
It was warm during the day but did get cold at night. not as cold as you though.
What a fantastic place to do astro from love the image clear sky's
Thanks Astro.Q. it is a wonderful place to image from. CS
Thanks for showing us Alpha Scorpii. Nice area. I liked both versions. I think I'm leaning more towards the RGB version. Good job on both.

Thanks Tich! I definitely wont be walking it in the next video. I was tired!!
Lovely image Jason really enjoying all that Nebulosity we're seeing in and around Orion. Great job Pal well worth the time 👍
Thanks Ollie!! hope you guys are getting some imaging in down there.
I’m going to subscribe, well done
Thanks for watching.. appreciate the sub.

The nebula and it’s surrounding dust are fantastic. Btw: when did you take flats and how?
Thanks Yuji! I took flats a couple night before we went out. Then I made sure that I didn't rotate the camera and left the image train connected.
Looks like you would need to get a solar generator and a solar panel to use to charge the solar generator. I have both and they work great when I go out to my dark sky site. CS!
that would be nice. CS
Here we go again.
Thank you for sharing this skies and hopefully see you next Moon? :)
Also do you ever have winter as we European have?
Thanks for watching and I hope I never have to have a European winter.... anything below 50 F is bad enough for me!
What altitude is your land at?
around 67 meters or 219 feet
@@AZ4Runner really? I thought that entire part of Arizona was at something like 4000 ft.
@@hael8680 we are almost at sea level
How much did you pay for that much land out there? If you don't mind my asking
I bought it back in 2015 and I only paid 2K for the 10 Acres.. right now there is land for sale around there but @ 60K foe 80 Acres.
Your channel looks good, great start however….your intro is too long and the music is actually offensive, sorry.
Thanks for the suggestion Woody. Note taken.
