  • In this video, I go over three different Astro setups that I started out with. I also touch on smart telescopes and how they fit in to the budget range of traditional gear. #astrophotography #telescope #astronomy #space #zwo #ioptron #canon #skywatcher #dwarflabs #gear #equipment

    I just discovered your channel and I appreciate these long videos. I got a Seestar less than a month ago and I'm already looking at upgrading to the more expensive Skywatcher GTI setup you got there. lol lured

      Thanks! Astro already got its hooks into you! It happens to the best of us! 😂

    Another thing for those starting from scratch: most of us who are into astrophotography are laid back and easygoing. We enjoy talking to people about the gear and processes of how we achieve these pictures. I enjoy it when someone wants to stop and talk the equipment and about what I'm doing.
    Used equipment is definitely a smart way to go starting out, and work yourself up to newer as you go.
    Keep the great videos coming!

      I got a pretty good deal on my 6D and 2 lenses back when I bought it, but the camera is even cheaper now because it’s as old as the Grand Canyon! 😂

    Great review Danno! I love that Pano in the background too, that looks like a tutorial episode in the making (hint hint) 😅

    First off, your a goofball, and I'm fat and out of shape too! I love it! Don't change. Secondly, unless the consumer is destitute, BYE the Rokinon 14mm!!

    I've been really impressed by the SeeStar and it would have been my next purchase, but charging port on my old StarTracker Pro detached from the logic board and ended up getting a SA GTI. I'm still waiting for some clear skies to give it a go. I live in a Bortle 9 area, so the duel band filter on the SeeStar might have saved some gas money.

    • @AstroDanno
      @AstroDanno  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You’ll definitely want a good filter in Bortle 9. I can drive about 45 minutes to a Bortle 3, but I rarely pack my gear up and travel like I used to when I first started Astrophotography.
