@@DylanODonnell I enjoyed your video. I have 2 family members who are flatheads flatearthers, I liked your last comment their just film of shit, sadly unchangeable.
This video was awesome! Funny as hell!!! I've been researching astrophotography for about a month now. I definitely want to pull the trigger on the Celestron 9.25 Edge. I'm gonna take it slow and see if I can even manage this stuff on a small scale with my DSLR and one of those small star trackers first. I'm lucky enough to live in AZ and have been up to the Starizona store on the weekend to nerd out with all astro guys up there in the evening as they are taking pictures (data!). Your videos really stand out from the crowd. Keep it going.
Dylan, Oh my God. Unrivaled content and a master production. I am appreciating you more as I create my own videos and I am realizing how difficult to catch a fly with chopsticks :-)
Ray's Astrophotography hehe thanks for noticing Ray! I stepped it up a bit on this one. But also trying to find a balance to turn a video around quickly with the right process :)
Almost got lucky to catch the ISS transiting a full moon by accident. I was shooting the moon for a HDR project and stopped taking pictures to adjust my focus a bit. That when I seen it through live view. I was in shock followed by extreme disappointment.
Was that your kid that said "I think it's gonna land on the moon daddy"?!!! That was the most adorable thing I have ever heard! OMG I just want to squeeze him! Brought me back to the absolute WONDER of being a kid. Priceless
Hi man i tried yesterday with zwo asi 224mc.... And ir cut filter thru celestron130slt.... I dont know how to focus right before :) i focused at jupiter.... I used 3xbarlow....jupiter was sharp.... But i pointed right at iss... Result is blur.... Better focus at stars before? Instead planets? .
Dylan, I realize you said avoid the temptation of trying video but what about shooting manually 120fps 4K 10-bit video at 1/1600th on an A7SIII? Would I still be better off relying on burst photo mode at 10fps? I could also shoot 4K 60fps RAW video, but just not sure what I should try and don't want to waste an opportunity.
I noted your comment on DSLR video and not to use it. I have a Canon 5D mk4 and as far as I know in M mode I can set the exposure time independently to as low as 1/4000 for most frame rates including 4K. I must add this is all new to me and I don’t have a telescope (as yet) so I’m thinking about doing this. Do you think I could use video then with my camera ? Thanks. Great video instruction by the way 👍
Hi Lupix! I've simulated your setup here.. change the camera details for your own (this is a Canon 70D specs) .. looks good to me :) www.bintel.com.au/tools/astronomy-calculator/?focallength=650&fratio=f5&pixelsize=4.1&xpixels=5472&ypixels=3648&eyepiecemm=&eyepiecefov=&binning=1&multiplier=2&target=moon
Don't try to convince the obstinate flat earthers. They will try to find an excuse. There is so much overwhelming evidence that the ISS is just an additional bonus. Great video and outstanding transit images. You make it look easy but we know its definitely not. Big thumbs up.
Great video Dylan. Already checked calsky.com and it seems there are a couple of passes coming soon to an area near me. Do you have to be exactly where calsky.com says or can you see it if you are nearby? In the NWT, Canada, there is a lot of wilderness and very little access. Thanks again.
Hey thanks Todd! Calsky maps show the "centerline" which is where the ISS will appear to pass the center of the moon, but the distance away from these will vary depending on where you are on the earth.. but yes you can be a fair way away from the center line and still see a transit. I can't confirm exactly but I'd suggest up to a km at least.
Saw this video just now for the first time, saw Calsky and was like oh that looks awesome! Go to check it out and... yeah :c any alternatives around yet?
It's an amazing guitar around the $1k mark .. I thoroughly recommend it! Best guitar I ever bought. Here are the details : th-cam.com/video/lwiv8Orq1_s/w-d-xo.html
Great video- and great that you don't waste time on deniers. It is too easy for them to say something controversial to get attention to bring thinking people down to their uninformed level. PS - the music is cool, but have to pull it down each time it comes up relative to your video as I am running large speakers with some decent bass. Impressive work on the photog and helping me a lot as a novice.
Oh and by the way I caught something a few weeks back. I was doing 45s exposure with my dslr. This thing rolled through 5 frames so that’s 45s then another 47s process + 5 frames. Any clue what it was. Only see it the next day when I was going through my light frames. And was like wtf is that.
It would be harder but maybe, yes :) You only get 1 second to try! "At full resolution, the P900 can shoot 7fps and you get a 7-frame burst before the buffer fills."
I've been trying to get the iss with my 650mm hand held, I've been shooting it at 800 with iso at 6400. It still looks like a glowing blob even though I manged to stop it. I'll try the 1600 sp and bring the ISO down. Your moon photos are cool, I'm going to try that seeing as its easier to focus on the moon.
@@DylanODonnell Thanks for asking. I shot between 1/1600 and 1/4000 with an iso of 1600 and it was lot better. I could actually make out a shape this time instead of blob. I'm using a sigma 150mm to 600m lens on a canon t7i crop camera. I did shoot as high as 1/4000 of a second which didn't really improve things much. I may have to work on my focus or try adding some aperture in. However, to see anything I have to crop heavily in light room because the station's only about 10 to 15 pixels wide at the most with this lens. Without the cropping it's a dot on a normal frame. It's really surprising how bright that thing is.
I captured a satellite by accident while making a video of a small area of the moon. It was in only 3 frames and was blurry, but it was pretty cool. I want to try to capture some geostationary satellites against the star trails next. Thanks for your very informative videos!
Thanks! And very cool. There are some smaller targets like Hubble but they are really tiny and basically unresolvable. The ISS is like a couple of football fields which helps :) Geo stationary trails are fun to catch!
Dylan O'Donnell quick question! I have a Celestron 8” edge HD on an AVX mount. Is the fast Star adaptor worth the $$$? I am new to astrophotography and have a long way to go before I upgrade, but I want to make sure I drool over the right toys!
IB Hunter at that focal length the bigger nebulas will look great and will be super easy to do. I’d actually recommend f2 imaging for beginners because it’s so fast and rewarding and forgiving of rough guiding or unguided shots :)
I love this! One more thing to add to my to-do list. What I really want to know, however, is who down votes a video like this? What is there to complain about? Thanks for the video Dylan. Oh wait... I just realized that it's probably the flat-earthers.
Another great video. Enjoyed the dig about flat earthers. Einstein said two things where infinite, the universe and human stupidity. And he wasn't sure about the universe.
deafening thunderous applause from the viewers... dylan you have out done yourself excellent work mate i have put this one in my favorites and will watch it a few times to get all the steps right ....dylan o`donnell not just some dude in australia... @ NASA astronaut dude .. he`s australia's master craftsman of astroimaging .... Question: i have been thinking of upgrading my ota from a celestron 6" sct to the 8" edge HD is it worth the extra $500 over the standard 8"ct.... sct ?? also well done sticking it to the flat earthers cheers james D
Haha thanks James! I'm def happy with being "just a guy" :) Glad you enjoyed the video! I would recommend saving up for the jump to the 9.25" Edge HD .. it's such a versatile OTA that can have many different focal lengths depending on the reducers / magnifiers you use but is not as unwieldily or expensive than the bigger scopes. I bought one after seeing that Chris Hadfield (the astronaut in this video) installed one on the ISS. If it's good enough for NASA .... :)
thanks for reply dylan i was thinking of getting the 9.25 but i will have to upgrade the mount and tripod as well i was planning on doing that anyway but now ill save for the cgx as well ...ill get the combo deal (sounds like some muck-donalds meal deal lol) ota and mount my plan was 8" ota then mount at a later time but the combo would be cheaper thanks again for the advice cheers james D
I’m not a so called “flat earther”, and not particularly into the subject. Just a regular guy watching random videos on youtube when I am bored. But one thing I can’t help but notice, in many space related videos (even saw something similar on a national tv) - is why is there such a strong need to constantly prove and point out that the earth is not flat?
excellent step by step guide and good advice on the DSLR front as concerns 'buffering' and memory cards :) ....as for flat earthers - the gangsta music vibe should keep them away - maybe ? ;)

I think this is a pretty good video, but the comment about video is incorrect. Some mirrorless cameras (especially m4/3 like Panasonic and Olympus) have capabilities that make this pretty easy. 4K video capture and high shutter speeds make video a viable proposition, and some of these cameras will do 6K photos at 30fps. See th-cam.com/video/MFIDE86gTbY/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/-9y4l-dOV_Y/w-d-xo.html for a couple of examples.
You're right, mirrorless cameras with these specs will let you hit those shutter speeds during video! But I was talking about DSLRs specifically at that point and mention that generally only the expensive ones let you do this :)
I think that is doable but harder since the Hubble is a bit further away (higher orbit) and is smaller than the ISS. But it is a good challenge to see what's possible, for sure.
I've been able to image the ISS many times before but only recently have I been using a new 2x Barlow lens. Here is my image: i.imgur.com/ylcudis.png I used a Nexstar 5se, Altair IMX224. How can I improve these images even further?
One member of my family thinks the Earth is flat and we are all a computer program....I think he is mentally ill and needs help ! .... “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.”
flat earthers...geez....if they are so sure, why has not one, or even a group, traveled to "the edge", and taken a picture? Surely they can send at least one rep to do this! Will we ever get them out of their mother's basements?
You do know “the edge” or Antarctica as you’re talking about is sealed off from public travel by all the un nations military and you need a “permit” to go there, to then which you’re still monitored, right?
How can anybody deny the existence of the ISS when so many amateur photographers have captured perfect images of the ISS as it transits the sun or moon
@@blakenorman4822 That size of a football field is one giant reflective mirror covered in solar cells. That can still see the sun. Ever seen the sun shinning off the bottom of an airplane after dusk. It stands out like the moon itself.

As long as you can set the videos manual frame exposure to 1/1600 you’ll succeed :)
Would capturing the transition with 1080p 120fps be better or wors than your results, same scope, same place and same conditions
Depends if the video lets you set those 1/120 intervals to an actual exposure of 1/1600 .. most cameras don’t !

I used a Nexstar 5se, Altair IMX224. How can I improve these images even further?
I think that's a brilliant image for such a modest telescope. You deserve a bigger scope!
One member of my family thinks the Earth is flat and we are all a computer program....I think he is mentally ill and needs help ! .... “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.”
Haha yep!
Theres no people in that thing
Hate to add a negative comment here, but I do agree that you need to pay more attention to the audio levels - up and down like a yo-yo!
Has it gotten even slightly better in my recent videos?
Just hook a phantom up to that badboi recording at 200,000 frames per second, joking btw haha
Haha if phantom or the slow mo guys are reading this - I'm keen ;)
@@DylanODonnell Would be sick tho, just that their around 100 000$

Awesome Dylan. Ahhhh I don’t think you will ever convince these flat turders opps I meant flat earthers that the earth is not flat. It’s CGi.
LAshotts hehe
....they won't and they are full of shhh
flat earthers...geez....if they are so sure, why has not one, or even a group, traveled to "the edge", and taken a picture? Surely they can send at least one rep to do this! Will we ever get them out of their mother's basements?
Just contrarians who love the sound of their own voice.
You do know “the edge” or Antarctica as you’re talking about is sealed off from public travel by all the un nations military and you need a “permit” to go there, to then which you’re still monitored, right?
Total BS
@MilitantPacifist I haven't seen jack shit of space in this vid..just nerd technical talk.
How can anybody deny the existence of the ISS when so many amateur photographers have captured perfect images of the ISS as it transits the sun or moon
244 miles from earth the size of a football field? planes are 7 miles above us go 3o times further out would look like a speck of
dust?
@@blakenorman4822 That size of a football field is one giant reflective mirror covered in solar cells. That can still see the sun. Ever seen the sun shinning off the bottom of an airplane after dusk. It stands out like the moon itself.
@@appresley4071 yeah but it's only a few miles away, go 240 miles away and the eye wont be able to make it out, it would look like a grain of sand if you saw it
