Congrats Trevor to you and your wife on the big transition into that WeWorked style office space. Amazing you’ve been able to advance your passion from a hobby to a living in just a few years. We’re all rooting for ya!
Have you done a video on essential equipment to photograph the night sky in light polluted areas ? I've followed you for years and therefore am well aware of your problems of living on estates or in town. I am moving house from a bortle 4 to a Bortle 7 or 8. No choice.
There must be for certain! We photograph them and they us. This is impossible there wouldn't be at least 1 intelligent civilisation in each galaxy that is enough metalic. Metalicity causes that the magnetic fields around stars and planets can exist. They protect systems and planets with their living creature. I just wonder how they look like and how they perceive everything around... Possibly they look like snails and see in the darkness or move much faster than Us :) Everything possible!
Awesome work Trevor. Congrats on the new work space. I appreciate all you guys are doing for the astro community and I can't wait to see where you take this hobby next.
The Needle is my favorite deep sky object. One of the most memorable views I've ever had was the Needle through a 30" dob under Bortle 2 skies. Just absolutely freaking incredible.
That 30" dob alone has me jealous, not gunna lie, need to get to a star party one day and try to find something like that, along with running my own little scope
@@UNSCPILOT Mate deffo get a 'scope and start looking up! I'd suggest starting out with a 114mm/500mm Newtonian reflector, as they're relatively inexpensive and will show you tons of stuff! They're also small and easy to handle! You won't ever look back my friend! Wes.
@@wesleydonnelly2141 I probably should have elaborated, by "my own little scope" I ment one I already have, a Celestron Nexstar 130 SLT, it's just a wee little 5" scope though not a wonderful 30" monster light-bucket. I am amused how close your recommendation is to my existing scope, even if mine is a bit more costly with the computer guided mount. Looking to get a 115 to 130 ish Maksutov to swap in for better planetary imaging down the rode since 650mm FL is a bit limiting even with other equipment to alleviate it
@@UNSCPILOT oohh sorry mate!! lol. I was actually going to recommend a 130/900 newt reflector but thought best he gets the slightly smaller 114/500 for ease of use! lol. Yes i concur with your thoughts about getting a 115-130 ish Mak for better planetary views mate. I think a 127 Mak would be perfect ? The 650 Fl of your current 'scope will be difficult to really zoom in to planets without causing havoc with eye relief and aberrations etc. Best of luck mate, let me know in future how you get on thanks! Wes.
You inspire me, I'm 12 and love the heavens above, I have a celestron with a 2,500 mm focal length. Edit:im suffering from depression, you have helped me learn my new hobby.
Congratulations on taking that big scary step of a dedicated office space Trevor! I've followed you from atleast 2018 and it's been a pleasure! Here's to many more years of AstroBackyard my friend! The Needle Galaxy image today from 4 years ago is a great metaphor for how far you've come! Finally, congratulations on hitting a quarter mill' subs my friend! Amazing when you consider what a small community we are!! Onwards and upwards further still! Wes, Liverpool, UK.
I am from Maharashtra, India. I love astronomy soooo much that I can't imagine my life without it. I need to know how can I persue Astronomy as my career.
Congratulations on 250k! Been with you since under 25k and I have learned so much and been inspired even more. New owner to a Star Adventurer guided via AAP so hopefully I soon can make some images myself. Keep it up Trevor! 👍
Trevor, I enjoy the TH-cam clips you and your wife produce. Very entertaining and informative. Additionally, I enjoy that you include Rudy your dog. May your night skies be clear and picturesque!!! Bob McGinley
Hi Trevor, Awesome job on this video (as usual). :) I followed the link to your web site and, really enjoy seeing the difference between your 2016 and 2021 NGC 4565. Beautiful images, sir.
I remember back in 2017 when I was 13 and first came across your channel, always reminds me of that time I got up at 4am to view the Mars/Jupiter conjunction, bought a Celestron 130 EQ since then but haven’t had it out in a while
It has been amazing watching you progress from a backyard astro-photographer to making a business from your hobby. I couldn't be more pleased and excited for you! Love the new office! Get some of those amazing astro-photographs on the walls!
I have been doing a little astrophotography for over 10 years now, just getting back into it more seriously - it still amazes me that we can photograph something 40million light years away with amateur equipment from our yards or balconies. Love the new work space Trevor - I totally get why you and your wife would move to a set up like that!
Congratulations on your new office and continued success! I have to say that I still really enjoy your videos even though you have progressed well beyond my current equipment. I love simplicity and just being under the night sky in my back yard.
I like the office, you never cease to amaze me! You (and your wife and Rudy) have been an inspiration for me it a lot of ways. I am still following the journey...and of course buying and using the toys!
Trevor, another great video! You called out that some of your longer focal length shots may not be as sharp as earlier, shorter focal length, images but who cares, we love watching you struggle (haha) through the same things we all are! Keep up the great, informative and somehow relaxing and enjoyable videos:) ...also appreciate your informative website!
Galaxy photos just blow me away, so beautiful and so far away. Can’t help but wonder what civilizations if any are there. I always wonder what our galaxy would look like from their perspective.
Damn nice man. Everyone is feeling that need to not be home, glad the second workspace is working out for you, even if the "actual work" is done in the backyard!
You present your material very concisely and with an obvious passion for what you do. Very inspiring and educational. Thank you for sharing. Kudos from the Bahamas.
Love the nw office Trevor, huge congrats on the 250K, I knew you would get there, your videos are what inspired me to get into this fantastic hobby! Brilliant job on the needle galaxy, this why we love to watch your channel! Clear skies!
Dude love this type of content, don't know much about space photography or space in general but i know enough to love this, its amazing. Quick question, is there particular reason for red flashlight??
Beautiful image Trevor, fantastic work as always. Great to see that something you hold so dear as a passion can be a business for you too. Clear skies.
Watching you from Scotland and so appreciative of what you do. I live up in the highlands with little to no light pollution-we have some great dark skies, that is when the weather permits. I often think that it would be just incredible to have a good telescope up here. For now it’s just a good paid of binoculars - maybe one day. Thanks again.
Amazing work. Love watching your channel. What I can’t believe is that there are 250k astrophotographers. You must have the largest Astro channel on TH-cam.
I checked out the comparison photos on your website 2016 vs 2021. The detail with the new telescope/setup is incredible 👌 it's amazing you can achieve that from your backyard
Congrats on the new digs - what I like about your videos is the addition of great details of how the image was put together - with your C11 I'd love to hear exposure time on subs - with my system I find DSS doesn't handle/count stars very well though, I am at full f/11 and a C14 and tried 5 min subs at a Gain of 12 on an OSC. Looking forward to more galaxies, though time is short for those now
Great to see you're taking the next steps in your AP endeavor. You are a lucky man to be able to do what you truly love and earn a living at it. Wish you the best! Wonderful image as well.
Absolutely amazing you are able to make a living out of your AstroBackyard channel Trevor, I’v been following you since mid/late 2017, meaning I’ve learned a lot from your videoes, it has also cost me a “minor” amount of $$$ 😊 I’ll keep supporting you and refer to yout channel - clear skies!
Congratulations Trevor to both of you for the 250K subscribers and the new workplace! I really understand the need to do that! Thank again for the inspiration you give us! I started this hobby thanks to you!🙂 and I see from the comments that you are inspiring a new generation of astrophotographers (as young as 12 years old)! Ps. Don’t forget to hang on the wall in the office some of your fantastic pictures😁
Hey Trevor, longtime fan of your work. Astrobackyard began when you were a amateur astrophotographer. It would be great to see some basic videos for new astrophotographers such as doing your star alignment while using a camera versus an eyepiece or what happens when you use sharpcap to Polar align and get you can never really get it too excellent. Don't get me wrong I have learned a lot from your videos and I appreciate the information you share but there were so many brand new astrophotographers, including myself, sometimes it would be really great to see some of the basics again. Thanks for sharing, Kyle
Another great showing. Just got my Lunt 100MT with the double stack. Obviously primarily for solar viewing BUT it should make an amazing astrophotography scope as well. 100mm triplet with fpl53 glass and 700mm focal length. Been studying your videos for several months waiting for this to arrive, so now it's time to put theory to practice!
😂 that noise when tightening the image train at 4:22. Its the familiar classic annoying sound that we all go through, even if it’s just the diagonal alone.
It never ceases to amaze me that those photons traveled for 40 million years to land on your sensor! Amazing photo, Trevor!
As far as the photons are concerned, no time at all has elapsed, for they do not 'experience' time, as they travel at c (light-speed).
