Thank you very much Jeff! I recently made a big investment, i bought the Altair 26c (aka zwo 2600 MC pro) and left my wallet kind of empty . I am still waiting for it to arrive.
Hello! Glad it was helpful! I have more results on my live streams, I am also using the sv305 pro Mono on the Moon and sometimes for deep sky astrophotography. Here is a link with one of my live streams using the sv305 : th-cam.com/video/H33Hmc7vDf8/w-d-xo.html and here a live stream using the sv305 pro mono: th-cam.com/video/qztO3827lBQ/w-d-xo.html
how has sharpcap treating you? i have the 305 and sometimes it works .. other times sharp cap crashes or just shows up black on live view and no exposure adjustment helps.. ive had nothing but issues with my sv305.
Big thanks! I am glad you enjoyed the video. took me a lot of time to make all the captures, the weather this winter was not good, i had a lot of cloudy nights.
@@GalaxyArtMediaYou are right, these are very expensive and I also make astrophotography videos on TH-cam. And here in India, my TH-cam channel is subscribed by pr 90k people and due to it being expensive, I am not able to upload the right content right now.😢
@@GalaxyArtMedia Yes, you can do it, that's right. In India, there are only two such channels on TH-cam which give correct knowledge of astrophotography. One mine and one my friend @astroindianx ❤️
Thank you very much for the appreciation. I wanted to make more thorough videos when the time allowed so i was able to share as much information as possible on its performance, I have similar video reviews also with my telescopes, and other equipment, here is one video : Star Adventurer with Skymax127 Planetary Lunar & Deep Sky th-cam.com/video/DVB7R6xdxQY/w-d-xo.html (balancing was done with zwo 224mc but the amazing captures on the last part of the video were with sv305) Also on most of my live streams with lunar & planetary i used the sv 304 camera : Live: Jupiter, Mars and Beaver Moon | Skymax 127 & Svbony SV305 th-cam.com/video/WUk3_m70U1w/w-d-xo.html
I have this camera and cannot even get focus. I use it with the svbony 102 mm refractor. I have the focal reducer and field flattener also svbony. I have tried focusing with Sharpcap and Nina. I'm about to give up. Any advice . Thanks
Him maybe your backfocus is not correct, is best to use it first wothout the teducer make sure you have also extension tubes usualy is needed to get the backfocus required. You can start eith a 50mm extension tube and try it in daytime to learn how to get focus, then you van try also eith the resucer and change the backfocus again if will be needed
Hello! You need to have the SV305 color camera to be able to take color videos, if you have the mono version than you can''t. If you have to color version, maybe you have a driver problem, so make sure you installed the right driver for the camera, you can find it at svbony website, then you should be able to use sharpcap as i did to capture normal color videos. Hope this helps.
Hello, thank you very much for your shares, all very interesting! I also recently bought a SV305 camera, but I still have several problems understanding how it works... but I have a question for you if you can help me: I currently use a small 102 mm diameter celestron refracting telescope, I could see that I can focus with the camera only if I use the angular mirror: to be able to use it directly at the focus of the telescope, without the angular mirror, do I have to use an extension as you show in your video? What kind of extension cord should I buy and where can I find it? Thank you!
Hello.glad you enjoyed watching. You could buy an 1.25 eyepiece extension tube that can work also as an extension for the camera or you can use a 50mm 2 inch extension tube and use a 2 inch to 1.25 adapter for the camera. I do not know if you have 2 inch or 1.25 inch drawtube on your telescop
@@GalaxyArtMedia Wow! Thank you for your prompt reply, you are great! I've the classic 1.25 inch diameter tube... i try to look for an extension as you say, what length can be enough? Thanks again! A beautiful sky to all of us!
I do not see why would not work. Is a planetary camera. However if you want faster framerate you can buy the pro version. I won the sv305 color at a concquest and bought also the sv 305 Mm pro to get the best results on lunar imaging
Salut Sabin. Sv305 ced e mai buna dar si sv205 sau alte modele mai ieftine sunt o optiune daca vrei sa platesti mai putin, dupa poti sa faci upgrade la una mai scumpa. Am recenzie si la camera Sv105 Spune mi daca te interesează am un sv105 nou care am testat pt recenzie si ma gândesc sa o vand
Hi, and thanks for another fine video. I dont get the performance of this 2MP camera, against the SV205, which is a 8MP. Normal more pixels, should give better, or at least sharper pictures. If you can, I would appreciate a comparison of the cameras you have, from the cheepst, to the expensive. Hence, I can see that most experienced astrographs uses cameras from ZWO, but they are out of my price range starting at $800,-(for deep space cameras), and the cheep one from ZWO, for planetary, are 1,2/2 megapixel. All this confuses me. I had almost decided to go for a SV205, but now after seeing this video I have doubts.
Hello.Thank you. I would buy the sv305 over sv205 only buy sv205 if you think of upgrading after to sv305 or other camera. Sv205 is entry level and not same quality. Sv305 is similar quality with the 300$ camera from zwo for planetary and lunar only the usb 2 is slower than usb3. You can buy also the sv305 pro with usb3. I have been using the sv305 for over a year with excellent results. For lunar imaging sv305 is good but better would be a mono camera like the sv305 pro mono. Overall sv305 or sv305 pro color cameras would be my first choice for planetary and lunar considering price performance. Regarding image resolution you can check ccd suitability from astronomy tools to see image scale. Sv305 with 2.9 microns pixel size will give you more details then a camera with 24 megapixels with pixels size of 4 microns. The large sensor will give you larger field of view though.
@@GalaxyArtMedia thanks for the fine description. Would any of sv503 be usefull for deep sky images. It seems that the cheepest from Zwo, costs around 800 euro.
@@Peter.A-A main difference is that sv305 pro has usb 3 but both models.will work good. Go for the color camera as a beginner so you can capture also the planets in color without filters and filter wheel. If you have budget you can buy after the mono one to give you the best results for lunar craters. Mono is more sensitive
I still have the camera, as i mentioned int he video is a good camera at good price, similar at quality with zwo 224 mc for planetary and Lunar but much cheaper. I did bought my first cooled camera Altair 26c for Deep Sky that i can use it also for lunar and planetary and it has Apsc sensor size but this camera is in other league, 12 -14 times more expensive than sv305
Good day, Sir! May I ask how did you capture the deep sky images? I bought the SVBONY SV 305 Pro and I can't seem to capture stars and nebulas. Is it required to buy the Premium account to capture deep sky images? Really looking forward for your sincerest reply. Thank you!
Hello. I used sharpcap pro. You probably need to by the license for pro version pf sharpcap to make live stack using dark frames.subsctraction. second option to capture deep sky objects is to take pictures and stack them after. You can also do this with Sharpcap and Apt and other capturing software. You also need a tracking mount and a telescope. But the sv305 has small sensor so harder to find some deep sky objects. I use this camera for lunar and planetary. I eiah you success l. Clear sky!
@@GalaxyArtMedia yes sir, I use it with my telescope. The problem is that it only captures black pictures/images and some white star-like objects, but actually just some default image of the sensor/camera I guess.
Hello. Check my telescope videos I have links in description with telescopes. You can use a link from my affiliate links and i get a small commission after. Astroshop.eu is a good option if you buy from Europe

how do you make a picture that was previously unclear clear?
