You seem like such an intelligent soul and I am so greatful that you are willing to share your wisdom with us. Weather its rockhounding or astral photography you and Shadow are a wonderful spot in my day. Thank you Lance.
I love when nature repeats itself and seeing the forms and patterns surprise you unexpectedly. I am totally blown away that this phenomenon is in deep space also. I appreciate having my mind blown over this and will look into the stars totally different.
That was very enjoyable to watch I'm glad I wasn't trying to climb that with you I somehow knew that shadow would beat you down haha the color on those images is incredible I'm glad you had good weather for it
Hello to you and Shadow. Now that was an interesting place to visit and video. Always enjoy watching your little guy run so full of energy. Great job on obtaining the downloads of space scenes. Thank you. ❤
@@adventuresofshadowdog My wife just got me the Dwarf 3 Smart Telescope for an early Christmas present today. I look forward to seeing all its capabilities in the next couple of days. I am curious about something; how do you look into the sky and know what you are looking at? Is there a reference point? Star formation, planets and so on. Thank you
How exciting! Start with getting an app on your smart phone that will show you where the moon, planets, and other deep space objects are at any point in time in relation to your position on earth. SkyGuide is a good one. So is NightSky. Then start by observing the moon and planets. Read up or watch videos on how to use your telescope and mount. Learn about altitude and azimuth (similar to latitude and longitude) for space. Eventually you’ll figure it out. Once you know how to find objects, get a smartphone adapter and try using your smartphone to photograph the moon and planets and then maybe The Orion Nebula. You can do a lot with a smartphone. I’ll even try to make a video for you. Above all, be patient and have fun!
You just created a future astrophotographer. I've got my 8" Dob in the mail and I look forward to slowly gathering what I need to photograph. In the meantime I'll really enjoy exploring the sky. Stunning pictures, you seem to have a lot of fun with it.
I started off with a DOB! An 8” is a great DOB! Did you get a GOTO? If not, that’s okay. But if you did, that’s even easier to start off with. Once you get the hang of how to use it and find targets, etc., you might want to get a planetary camera and start learning astrophotography on the planets and moon.
@@adventuresofshadowdog I didn't get a goto, but i came close! I plan on getting an EQ at some point. I have never heard of a planetary camera until now. I see some bargains! It looks getting started si closer than I thought. I'm really excited. Hardest part will be waiting for clear nights 😁
Coral Dunes State Park just South of Kanab and about 1 hour East of St . George. It’s a hidden gem. Thanks for watching and it’s always good to hear from you! 😎
City lights? I refer to them as $hitty lights! In my town every gas station insists on having the brightest Led panels almost requiring the use of sunglasses at night.
Nice video! I was very surprised how good the final image of M27 looks in comparison with the autostack. How did you do this? Do you have an option to save each subframe that is used in the autostack? And how did you calibrate the image? Did you take flats, bias, darkframes or similar? I'm really impressed by your progression in image processing!
Hey Rob! Great questions. With SharpCap, the individual sub files are saved as FITS files. The "Live Stacking" can be saved as a single image. I usually do save it. BUT, that is not the version I run through post processing. Rather, I stack the individual FITS files in DeepSkyStacker using filters to stack only the best frames. DeepSkyStacker saves the final stacked image as a TIFF. I then take that TIFF file into PhotoShop for post processing. I also take darks and use them in the stacking process in DeepSkyStacker. I do not, however, take flats. I should. But I use a plug-in called AstroFlat that does a pretty good job of doing what flats would otherwise do. I also use some other Plug-ins, depending upon the image, to help with noise reduction and star reduction. Sometimes, depending upon the image, I use StarXterminator to process a Nebula and then bring the stars back in. Honestly, I should switch and learn PixinSight, but it took so long to get to where I am that I'm like an old dog. Lol. I hope this helps and thank you so much for the kind compliment! Shadow sends a wagging tail hello to you!

I think that Shadow has four wheel drive….another amazing and educational video,,,,please keep em coming!
Yes he does! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Just stunning images! Your videos are well produced as well!
Thank You so much!
What a wonderful place! Great video
Thanks for watching and commenting! 😎
Super cool video! I loved seeing shadows cute paw prints in the sand haha
Thanks @Nicpeter13!
Beautiful video, I enjoyed it very much!
Thank You for watching and commenting! 😎
We enjoyed this, Lance!
Thanks Marla! Best to Richard. We need to go camping!!!
@@adventuresofshadowdog YES! He got a new mattress and is ready to go try it out!

What a wonderful comment! Thank you so very much. Shadow’s tail is wagging away and I have a big smile, thanks to you! 🙏
Amazing video! ❤
Thank You!
Awesome Thanks
Thank You, Karen!

I appreciate having my mind blown over this and will look into the stars totally different.
I am right there with you, Jan! It blows my mind away as well. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! 😎
Outstanding!! Leave some for the rest of us!! lol, great images and another amazing location!!
Thanks so much Doug!
I’d love to know how many miles Shadow gets in during your videos. That dog is doing a marathon every weekend, I swear!
Haha! He is indeed!
That was very enjoyable to watch I'm glad I wasn't trying to climb that with you I somehow knew that shadow would beat you down haha the color on those images is incredible I'm glad you had good weather for it
Hey Phil! Shadow sure made it look easy. Climbing those sand dunes is HARD! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
I love how you explain these:) keep going. You should have atleast 1 million subscribers
Thank You! That means a lot and I really appreciate the encouragement! 😎
Hello to you and Shadow. Now that was an interesting place to visit and video. Always enjoy watching your little guy run so full of energy. Great job on obtaining the downloads of space scenes. Thank you. ❤
Thanks BearandMimi! Those sand dunes are amazing. That is one of my favorite places to visit and explore. Hope all is well with you! Take Care!

@@adventuresofshadowdog Thank you for the information. I will definitely check into those apps. Look forward to seeing your next show.
My first image of M31 was green also!
We’ve come a long ways! Lol. Thanks for watching and commenting.😎

Fabulous photos. Also nice sand dunes. Not quite sure where those sand dunes are?!?!?

Nice video, specially the drone footage at the end that had a music background. It really felt in KSA not USA at the end :)
Thanks Mike!
Have you done a video detailing all the telescopes and equipment you use?
Not a comprehensive one. Would you like me to do one?
City lights? I refer to them as $hitty lights! In my town every gas station insists on having the brightest Led panels almost requiring the use of sunglasses at night.
I share your frustration. We waste so much unnecessary energy on lights at night. And it really is a pollution. Ugh!
