Incredible you can capture such images so far away. Appreciate the explanation - helps to understand what you are really looking at versus just colorful shapes. Well done!
Thanks Sean for watching and commenting. I agree with you. The Bubble Nebula is amazing and awe inspiring. Another really interesting one is the Jelly Fish Nebula. If you enjoyed watching the video about the Bubble Nebula, you’ll probably like the one about the Jelly Fish Nebula too. Thanks again!
I’m still very much an amateur and am still learning. It’s a learning curve for sure. I started simple, with just my iPhone and a simple telescope. Then I grew slowly from there. But still so much to learn!
Amazing. I thought Newtonians are not suited for astrophotography, most amateurs use refractors (apochromats) for deep space objects . Is it possible to image with your scope, bigger objects , like the Andromeda galaxy? Does it fit in one frame ? I am still learning.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I have both Reflecting and Refracting scopes. Both have pros and cons. And within each category are variants such as Triplet and Quadruplet Refractors, Maksutov-Newtonian and Schmidt-Cassegrain in the Reflecting category. So, it's a big subject to try to address in a comment. However, speaking in general terms, both are used in Amateur Astrophotography. But, if I were to recommend a first scope, it would probably be a Refractor. They do not require collimation and are easier to use. They generally have a wider field of view, which makes finding your target easier, as well as tracking and guiding. Having said that, I cut my teeth on a Dobsonian (Newtonian on an Alt/Az mount), and grew from there. Thus, I'm not sure there is a "right" or "wrong" way to get started. But, again, my advice would be a good, wide-field Refractor. I made a video comparing Refractors to Reflectors. It may help you as you research to make your decision. You can find it in my video list. Here is also a link: th-cam.com/video/nLSd8S8F_-8/w-d-xo.html Thanks Again for watching and commenting. I hope this helps.
Curious, what camera are you using? I too have a 10" newtonian that I am prepping for my astrophotography, but I am wondering about guiding and image scale. Thanks and CS.
Hi Urban Astro! Thanks for watching and commenting. I've paired the 10" Newtonian with an Orion G26 CMOS APS-C chip size camera. I also have full format 35mm Orion G24 CMOS camera, but the scope is too large to take advantage of the full format. Whereas, the APS-C format works real well. At least that has been my experience. As for guiding, I wish I could speak with more authority on that. I still struggle with guiding using the big ol' 10" Newtonian. My mount is an Atlas EQ-G with a 44lb capacity. I'm probably pushing it a bit, but I suspect my lack of success may be more related to my lack of skill level. So, I make it up by keeping the exposures on the shorter side and stacking more of them. The beautiful thing about the scope is that it is fast, f4.7, and lets in a whole lot of photons in a short duration. Thus, shorter exposures work just fine. My scope originally was on an Alt/Az mount. I still use it on that mount for viewing and moon/planetary imaging. I've even done some deep space with 3 second subs and have got pretty good results. The further away an object is from the zenith, the less the problem with stars looking elongated. I don't recommend going after deep space objects using an alt/az mount. I just mention it to illustrate that this scope is capable of producing some amazing images using shorter subs. I hope this helps a little. Happy to hear any comments or suggestions you may have for me as well. Thanks!
Thank you for your kind concern. I live in Southern Utah. There is only one venomous snake of concern - the rattle snake. There are two things one can do to protect their dog from rattle snakes: 1. Rattle Snake Training, and 2. Rattle Snake Vaccine. I have done both. Shadow has been exposed to rattle snakes and trained to avoid them. We do encounter them from time to time, and he does avoid them. Shadow has also had the rattle snake vaccine. I also make sure he gets an annual booster. Lastly, I always have a first aid kit with me when I go out to remote areas. Thank you so much for watching and your comment. And thank you so much for your concern for Shadow.

Thanks for the info, i learnt something today. Nice image
Thanks Bill! I learned a lot myself while researching the subject. Appreciate the comment!

Thanks Curt! Really appreciate the nice comment!
Very nice image and the info you provide in the video. Awesome!!
Thanks Astro Crescent. I really appreciate you watching and commenting!
Beautiful! Nice work
Thank You! You are always so kind.
Amazingly beautiful image.
Thank You!
Man this is inspiring

Good stuff. How long did it take you to learn all this.
I’m still very much an amateur and am still learning. It’s a learning curve for sure. I started simple, with just my iPhone and a simple telescope. Then I grew slowly from there. But still so much to learn!
Are you sure that's not Darth Vadar's Death Star coming at us?
Hahaha! I am not sure. Uh oh . . .
When should said it was 7 light years across I said out loud “wow”
Space is fascinating.
I said the same thing when I was researching about it. Wow! The vast distances measured by light years are beyond my mind’s ability to truly grasp.

They are nice places for photographs, but isn't there some snake that can be dangerous for the dog? Not in winter now, but in summer?
