I'm just about ready to take the leap into astrophotography and I found this video series helpful.. I have an 8 inch Celestron Evolution scope and just ordered the equatorial wedge in anticipation of my new endeavor into photography. I'm looking forward to the next few videos that I know you already published.... I so appreciate you taking the time to help photography beginners like me out!
Thanks for your kind words. I wish you every success. That Evolution scope with the wedge should work well. If you don’t already have one, I would suggest getting a 6.3 focal reducer which will widen the field of view and decrease focal ratio for better light gathering.
Hi Mate, Great video. I have a 130 astro celestron, and I'm thinking of buying the Canon 3500D, or would I be wasting my time ñ money? Keep up with the good work you do.
Thanks. I don’t think you’d be wasting your time if you have the patience to take lots and lots of very short exposures and stacking them together (I’ve just posted a stacking tutorial). I’m assuming the mount on your 130 is a manual mount; if it’s a GoTo mount you can take longer exposures). I’ve had some experience taking very short exposures with a lower quality scope than your 130 and got decent results after taking lots of photos and stacking. Like most things associated with the hobby it takes patience.
how did you take 55 images of 2 sec photos. if you use a intervalometer and use 2 sec exposures for 55 images at 1 sec apart, shouldn't you get startrails?
Your helping me greatly, I had a 8” dob but limited to visual astronomy. Bought a tracking mount a dslr camera but don’t know how the process works been watching vids but most are to fast or advanced for me. Yours are not . Hoping you show a vid on setup outside polar align level and shooting pics can’t wait for your processing vid …
excellent series ,

Great Video!
Thank you!
Very good, i use EAA and Sharpcap.
I might eventually get into EAA. Looks very interesting.
@@oldgazer7200 Very good!

If I have not said it before I think you would like EAA, Electronic Assisted Astronomy. Your'e kinda doing it now.
