- Can we photograph Jupiter on a budget of just £100? In order to make this possible I get in touch with the best planetary photographer in the world, Damien Peach and ended up bagging Mars and Saturn too!

PLEASE ask me any questions and I will do my best to answer them. I do hope to make further videos detailing my testing of cheap planetary cameras, testing of barlow lenses etc... a lot of testing happened to get these results!
If you want to take pictures of the planets and you want to buy a new, here are my recommendations... (please use the links if you buy bc it helps me earn a bit of cash which allows me to take time off work and make more vids😉)
BARLOW
Barlow lens is really important.This is what I use when i'm not being budgety; £167
www.firstlightoptics.com/barl...
Televue barlows are great too ( I owned a x3)
www.firstlightoptics.com/barl...
and here is a surprisingly good budget option £25

CAMERA
These planetary camera will each outperform my canon 600d by some margin
ZWO ASI120MC - a revolutionary camera when it came and and still a great bang for buck option. £153
www.firstlightoptics.com/zwo-...
ZWO ASI 178MC £322 ... 80% quantum efficiency. This camera rocks,
www.firstlightoptics.com/zwo-...
ZWO ASI 178MM £346 for serious planetary you will want to go mono and fit a filter wheel with RGB filters in front of the camera. I've used this camera for deep space too, it is awesome.
www.firstlightoptics.com/zwo-...
ZWO ASI 290MC £248 A lot of people have gotten very good results with this camera. It may be a a couple of percent better that the ASI 178 but it does have a smaller sensor... which can make things like lining up a bit more problematic.
www.firstlightoptics.com/zwo-...
TELESCOPE
Orion Optics VX 6Lis the closest modern scope to the one I used in this video. Long Newtonian telescopes are the best for any given aperture but there length makes them cumbersome and so when the aperture gets bigger fatter but smaller maks or SCT's are often a better choice. Please mention me if you buy from John 😉£318
www.orionoptics.co.uk/VX/vx6-...
I really like the Mak's (maksutov) telescopes for planetary you can choose the size to suite your budget...
90mm Mak; (my first telescope and Rik's!) £132
www.firstlightoptics.com/maks...
102mm Mak £167
www.firstlightoptics.com/maks...
127mm Mak £265
www.firstlightoptics.com/maks...
150mm mak £485
www.firstlightoptics.com/maks...
180mm mak £805
www.firstlightoptics.com/maks...
Maks are great for planets but if you want a great planetary scope AND a scope that is good for observing then SCT's are hard to beat. Damien Peach uses a 14inch SCT ! The best bang for your buck is generally considered to be the C9.25: £1349

That's awesome.
Thank you sir😃 my mate Rob will be most impressed that you left a comment
Oh hello there! how are you?
Bro why are you not doing this. Tjis stuff would be great on your channel.
Hello there
Hi Destinnn
Sir. I think your videos ar television worthy.
+exoc1 thx buddy. i like your comment 😃
Television will never desearve this, this is truly amazing!
This is so true 👍
Completely agree I was hooked straight away 👍
@exoc1 don't insult him please.
when I saw Jupiter moving, my heart sank. THIS WAS SO WELL DONE
Your heart sank or leapt? Sank is when you are feeling bad.
@@ishanr8697 not necessarily. Lept is when u r afraid
@@umairusman sank is when you are sad or disappointed or feeling dread. Lept is when you are excited or happy or shocked
Why is there no American flag on the moon.
@@cuerowah5941because it is in the Nevada desert?
Give this man his own TV program. Brilliant!
Dude, you keep blowing me away with these videos! The only way I can describe them is a top gear challenge for telescopes rather than cars! Only you're not the BBC! but you're just as or even more entertaining! I also love your red torch, er I mean companion bunny :)
That was the same what came in my mind, when I saw some of his videos and he reminds me all the time of Richard Hammond xD
I thought the same! It has the same vibe!
As long as they actually have to stay under the budget, using only equipment you can buy NOW...not stuff you or your friends had stuffed away some where...
Is bunny the stig? XD
This is amazing. Feels like I'm watching a tv show.
Epic! would love to see more video's

@@saad.zhongguo ah hello First Keksmfmemsmjfmems
New subscriber here. I love your story-telling approach to making these videos. They are mesmerizing. Thank you for all the hard work you put into making these. You are setting a new, high standard that I hope others will strive for.
the rabbit scares me
Ha! 🤣
reminds me of a disturbing 70's kids sci-fi show. (Love the content - I'm just jelly i didnt think of it first)
rabbit freaks me out also
i fear no man but that thing.....it scares me
It's creepy I have a colour changing dinosaur that is like bunny
BBC needs to talk to you :)
Then he wouldn't have time to make these beautiful videos for the entire world to enjoy.
You can't imagine how beautiful is this video ❤
Amazing. As they say: The better you are as an astrophotographer, the less expensive gear you need. I'm deeply impressd.
By the way: I like Bunny.😄
I love that when you say “on a budget” you truly mean it, and go out of your to show what is genuinely achievable. Such a great process to watch. Many thanks, Mister Biscuit
Oh christ, like I need another bloody hobby to spend my $$$ on, but there we go. For science!
The best astrophotography channel! It´s very easy to take a photo with 15K equipment. But you demonstrated that with little money and patience and dedication we can do a lot of things. Thank you!
"Everyone's got a DSLR haven't they?"
Me, completely devoid of a DSLR: oh :(
I've been looking at the new Raspberry pi HQ (high quality) camera, which is £50. Maybe our lord Astrobiscuit will give us his opinion on what it is worth.
I actually used to have a DSLR. They are not a household item but enough people have it for it to be okay to say everyone has one
@@alanparker3130 I think you might need a bigger sensor but I have never done astrophotography. If you do not have a raspi I would use the zero w
@@alanparker3130 try searching for a used dslr, good thing is you need a body only if you'll only use it with a telescope, find a good old full frame one and it'll make amazing photos.
Do a 2nd video with only purchased equipment. No cell phone, no existing DSLR. Now that would be a challenge.
Just wanna say that this is gold standard content
"Nothing a bit of blue-tac and lots of cable ties can't fix." has always been my low budget astronomy motto!
The fact that you've made a great video montage out of a single planet chasing really shines between all these astronomy videos! Subbed, hope to see more like this in the future!
Hang on to your hats, we found a winner. Time to watch every single video on the channel
Imagine astrophotography in the future. More advanced technology, better scopes, better stacking programs. Imagine how detailed the images would be. Can’t even Imagine how cheap it is to get better images of planets in the future.
I clicked because of the title. I subscribed when I heard him say, "Me thinks"
As a prequel fan this made me smile.
this material should have millions of views! thank you for sharing sire!
Mr. Biscuit you are a marvel!!! I discovered your channel about 4 days ago! Since then I am starting the morning and ending the day with your brilliant videos! So professional vlogging and nicest tone of voice!!! Wish you the best - definitely this content deserve more views, likes and comments! Cheers from Moldova!!!
Thank God people like you share their passions with the community!
I watched these videos last year and absolutely loved them! I'm not kidding, this very video reignited my passion again! I've bought a secondhand Celestron 6SE and a cheap 2nd hand canon 1100d. Just waiting for the clouds to part now! Thank you so so much for putting these videos together, you really know your stuff and more importantly, you're making decent quality astrophotography accessible to beginners like me!!!
Hats off to you sir, thanks so much for making these videos! I hope you'll be making more!!!
Cheers fella... And thank you to you for giving me such positive feedback😀 good luck with it
Just found your channel and have to thank you - you have restored my excitement for astrophotography with this video and your 3-part DSLR series. So many other vids are using equipment I can never afford. New enthusiastic subscriber!
so inspiring. you're pushing me to fulfill what was my dream as a youngster. thank you mr. biscuit!
18:46 you can really see the earth's place in our solar system, truly an amazing shot
This is amazing! Your enthusiasm is so contagious. First thing I bought with my own savings when I was 10 years old was a telescope, but I had almost forgotten about that! Today my boyfriend and I got ourselves the skywatcher N 150/750 explorer 150P OTA. Cannot wait for it!!!!!!!! Thank you for your great videos! Please make more :D
I have been searching and searching for guides and good videos to get into astro photography and dude your enthusiasm and video quality have really inspired me. You have earned a SUB for life. I love it.
Do you have a video on stacking the images? How do you do that?
sorry not yet. lots of videos out there tho. search for deep sky stacker tutorial
I know this is two years later but I just discovered your channel and have to say that imo this is a great video. A surprise guest appearance by Damien Peach!?! And the results for all three planets are jaw-dropping. Nice work!
this is one of my faVOURITE VIDEOS , ever
I've watched all these videos before but I'm just starting a binge watch again. This channel is still massively underrated and i love every video produced.
You're the best on astronomical stuff that I've ever encountered so far
Thank you for sharing. I really enjoy your videos, especially the fact that you share in detail all that soft and gear that you are using. Keep up amazing work. Thank you
cheers Alex... thx for watching
Literally binge watching alll your videos, something really special
thx bud
That was brilliant!! I had no idea such fabulous equiptment was so readily available and so cheap on ebay. Fantastic results!! Astronomy and photography are two things that have interested me for years. Time to combine them. Thanks for the inspiration.
I haven't got a clue about Astronomy* but your enthusiasm and ability to explain difficult concepts is a real treat mate - Thanks for doing what you do :)
Excellent post-production and engagement level! Keep up the great content.
It's fantastic isn't it, seeing another planet and getting an other worldly feeling, kind of hard to describe. But I think you have captured it in your youtube videos!
Just subbed,this was absolutely beautiful to watch. No matter how many times i watch it,it still gives me chills everytime i it shows the whole thing.
You are so freaking enjoyable watch, guy. 😂👍You put so much work into these clearly and deserve every single view you get
Fantastic, results so very much better than my 6" fullerscope, I truly look forward to your video's! Keep em coming!
I thought your channel would have 1 million subscribers just based off the quality alone.
I was quickly saddened when I saw it had under 50K.
I'm blown away by this content, it's very underappreciated. This is amazing, keep it up!!
Maybe one day!
Two years later, it is still about 300k. Absolutely incredible content. Society sucks.
@@AshA-ww8hc C'est la vie
I love your videos man! The excitement after taking those shots considering what you had must have been enormous! The animation is also great! And the talking bunny is dope. I love him haha.
Just discovered these videos. They're fantastic and I find it inspiring the I can start astronomy and astrophotography without the correct research and without busting the bank. I'm currently looking at getting my first telescope as I write this.
Oh maan! Love to watch you! such a great chanel! thanks for posting such a great and valuable stuff for people like me- astro-amateurs on a budget! greets from Dark forests in north Poland! Cheers! and.. dark, clear skies !
19:38 is amazing
Finally!!! A FUN and informative Astronomy video in one!!!! Thank you!
12:42 - Diamond Head - "Am I Evil ?"
Nice! :D
Wow the end result for Mars and Saturn was really impressive.
Those are remarkable images of Jupiter and Saturn by most standards, let alone the use of budget equipment. That 6" Orion must be an excellent planetary scope.
The TH-cam algorithm randomly suggested your channel to me and it is the best thing that happened all week! This content is extraordinary...you've earned a new subscriber!
Really glad I found your channel. It's encouraging to see what can be done without burning money. And you blokes are bloody funny. Well done. 👍👍👍
This was insanely entartaining. Great job!
Wow, Very impressive! That is better than I've seen with my 8" Meade sct at just over 400x. It's amazing what a backyard amateur astronomer can accomplish, compared to 20 years ago, or even 10. And all for under £100. Of course, in Canada this rig, with our dismal exchange rate and shipping would cost somewhere around $1000 CAD.
Mate every video of yours is beyond educating. It's like a real life movie unfolding in front of my eyes. This is what reality TV should actually be like. You got one more sub !
God bless you, dude...I recently had discovered your channel and I love astronomy more than ever, pal
great job keep them coming
Thx Buddy
shared to keep the greatness coming
Your storytelling is extraordinary!
This isn't just a informative show. Its an entertaining one too! Love it.
Absolutely gripping fun and educational. Why you haven't got a TV spot is beyond me. You make astronomy look fun, inexpensive and the results are amazing.
Bruh youtube recommended this after 5 years?
Well done!
You made me realize I dont need a car and expensive stuff to get started. Moving soon to a smaller city in Sweden (Älmhult to work with 3D for IKEA, the world of cameras aren't new) and I do have balcony which suddenly made it even more pleasent.
Would you mind listing some stuff to get started? Doesn't need to be below £100 but a few hundred could do. My end game is the fancypants stuff but that's some years from now...
Will definitely bookmark those free programs.
Subbed.
Cheers,
Stanko
I cant wait for your next vid, this channel is really good!
Aw this video was actually better and more entertaining than any professionally made TV program on the subject. New subscriber!
I know imaging seems to be the rage now, but I feel lucky enough to have a decent telescope.
Slowly putting an eyepiece and filter collection together, too.
Just found your channel via a link on facebook in UK Astronomy. Brilliant stuff with a refreshing style which is not at all nerdy! Subscribed! You've inspired me to do some work on videos I took in 2004/5 of Saturn and Jupiter, using the Toucam Pro. When you tested that, what OS were you using on your laptop? I got the camera working on Win7, but no luck on Win10. Being CCD rather than CMOS, I think it still has potential, if I can get it working! Keep up the great work!
Excellent vid Mr. Biscuit! Really enjoyed it.
No idea how I am just now finding this channel, but the videos are fantastic!
Really inspiring video!! I’m scouring eBay as I type this!! 😂😂
Absolutely amazing, I’ve never bothered trying to capture as thought it’s too costly, how wrong was I, looks easy watching you do it, but a lot of time and effort goes in, so thanks for doing these vids, I’m loving them
Thx mate😃
I love this darn channel!!!, it's Astrophotography with lots of humor(unique). I just which you'll produce videos more often.
Your videos really boost my mood. Thank you, I really really needed it.
The 2.5x GSO Barlow lens (TS variant) is an incredible Barlow for it's price, and I have mentioned this Barlow quite a lot in my videos. Cheap budget APO glass elements will deliver amazing images of the planets, and it's defo one of the Barlow's I would seriously recommend to someone who want's medium range Barlow for their money. I totally agree Rory that we the UK Astro TH-camrs get very little coverage or gain subscribers and I've been on TH-cam for time and only got around 3.2K subscribers (compared to our American and Canadian counter parts with excess of 6K to 30K subscribers) for the sheer amount of hard work we both put in to deliver awesome videos, it seems we are left in a black hole for some strange reason.
But who cares you video content is amazing, please Rory keep up the good work, And don't worry I've already given my shout out on my videos. Please Rory could you do the same for us at A4B. Please keep us entertained with your stunning videos and let's push these Budget Astronomy videos out to our viewers. Clear Skies from me!!!
This channel is a mystery to me. At first I was like... only 1k views, a few hundred subscribers, it's probably not that great. I binge watched everything because it was awesome. I hope you'll eventually get some recognition.
+Godfraind Nicolas thx mate fingers crossed eh😜
Totally true I feel the UK Astro tubers get a bum deal here on TH-cam
Thx martin for the encouragement. I'm going to try and put out more shorter one, one every week and we'll see if that makes a difference. .. And yes ill mention A4B... It was after all one of the first facebook groups i posted on.
Great video 🙂 wifey and I have just watched it while having breakfast. It makes me look forward to the dark nights of winter instead of missing the summer days. Your videos are so much fun and for someone like me make astrophotography something that is in reach even in my light polluted area. Unfortunately they go too fast and we are becoming addicts. So keep up these fantastic videos. Oh and thanks to pink bunny as well. 😁
Thx mate... I'll pass on your regards to the pink one
Forgot to mention the great music. 🙂
@@blapidarious780 yep i agree nice one @Riktenstien
Shared this with an astronomy page so hopefully you'll get more subs.
@@blapidarious780 wicked thx mate
Wow Rory just had chance too watch your latest offering mate! Awesome, awesome, bloody awesome!
I was in Greece this morning trying to connect to the airport WiFi so that I could watch your video but I wasn’t able. Been in the house less than an hour and I’m getting myself an Astrobiscuit fix - I’ve been waiting but goodness me it worth it.
Please keep up the great work, your subscribers are growing, and I can only imagine how much time and effort you put into these videos keep the faith!
+Craig Oglesbee you're the man😜
Another SUPERB episode!
I love the rabbits voice
You've made rik a very happy bunny 😃
At 14:50, turn on automatic captions. It says "penis said", instead of "Peach said".
Sanjay Mittalla omg I saw it 🤣🤣
That is amazing
Awesome video M. Biscuit! I'm starting to play with astrophotography and your channel is full of useful info! In looking forward the next great night here in France to try some stuff!
Keep up the good work!
I just started astrophotography and I have to say your videos are both massively interesting and very entertaining, keep up the great work
Hola, magnífico video. Me encantaría saber como procesaste los videos para obtener tal calidad de fotos de los planetas. Espero entiendas mi español. Saludos desde Chile.
Why isn't this already on BBC?
The BBC are only interested in peddling woke social justice narratives that haemorrhage viewers. They're not interested in quality programming.
This video was super entertaining! So glad I found this channel 😆
I just want to say thank you, as a young person interested in science your videos have inspired me to take up amateur astronomy and it’s been amazing, so yeah, thank you🙂
Made me laugh and enjoyed the content CBeebies should pick you up would be great for the kids to watch too, clear skies dude
Dont let the BBC touch this man.
nobody:
girls when they say they dont use fiters 2:25
Amazing! Thank you for the smile!!
You are the best!
:)
I waited so looong for this biscuit! ;)
And Jupiter came in all the beauty, l even haven't expected it's possible.
Thanks!
cheers roland, yes it did take a while to come!
do earth for 100000000 pounds
WHY I DON'T LIVE AT UK??!!!!
Like, the cheapest telescope would cust around 3 minimum salaries in my country.
I HATE 3rd WORLD
I feel you bro, it sucks
don't complain, I'm sure there are people who are much worse than you or me
Great work Rory and Riktenstein! Epic! I am now comparing my first year images to this year and what a journey it has been.
Yeh astrophotography is addictive isn't it... But crazy, i mean takes up so much time and more often than not something goes wrong 😅
I 💗 your enthousiasm. Well done Rory, .... and mr. Rabit of course. Good job ! 👍🤝
Mission failed, because of programs not for free.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh but yea. Also the camrea
I love that you can always see the moon in the background, day or night
Really enjoyed this, and the bunny he's a gem.
I love that you try to make quality - not just talk! Well done
