Hi Ken! As you know, I have also done this for decades and I would be really hesitant to call the "Lifer" a "Lifer". Most astroimagers tend to upgrade their equipment as time goes on. I know we both have! The two questions beginners need to ask themselves are 1) Just how interested am I likely to get? and 2) If I do get really addicted (you may), just how much can I really afford? My best advice is to have some long and detailed conversations with an experienced imager before buying anything that costs more than pocket money. I do agree that the increase in interest in the hobby that we have seen in the past few years is very encouraging!

And then I saw Saturn, ..well, I knew it was Saturn and the only way I knew it was Saturn was because of the app "Starwalk 2" and the fact that it looked more like the shape of an egg, that really blew my mind. Mind you, I didn't actually see its rings, but knowing that I was looking at Saturn really lit a fire in me! So, within a few months of spending almost a thousand on the binoculars and the parallelogram mount and tripod...I purchased a 12" Apetura Dobsonian from High Point Scientific and , Im hoooooookedd!

Another awesome well explained and informative video Nico. Thanks ;-)

Really enjoyed this format of showing several different price/complexity astro-photography options. It had the allusion of making if feel simple to just pullout a tripod put your DSLR on it, point it towards the night sky where you'll have good tracking without obstruction try to find an interesting object with your night sky smartphone app (Stellarium etc) and start snapping. Mainly because when it's compared to some of the more complex ones that you show it seems like much lower effort option. One thing you did keep focusing on is this need for beginning Night Sky Photographers to get something specific identified to take a picture of. Why not also suggest that the photographer look up at their night sky (in the region where they can see they'll have a good run of 2 hours tracking without obstructions) have them use low power binoculars and just see what areas in that region look interesting! Then they can set up their camera rig, do their basic alignments, adjust how they’re going to handle their time-lapse (multi-shot set up) and let them start snapping pictures. Then once they have processed that evening set of 200 or so "lights" let them see what emerges. Then for identification of the deep space objects that they’re looking at they can use their cheat image that was taken by aligning their smartphone with the exact camera view and their night sky app and take a screen shot. Then after they have processed their astro-image(s) they can compare them to the objects identified in the night sky by their smartphone app (Stellarium in my case) at the time they snapped their pictures. Like exploring just to see what comes up!

Yes, I find just a DSLR and lens on a tripod is much more low effort and it's easier to point too since a normal tripod is 'alt-az'. Nice idea about the binoculars, although here on the East Coast, when I look through binoculars even at Bortle 4 site (darkest I have within a couple hour drive), the only deep sky objects I can make out with binoculars are the Lagoon, Andromeda, Orion, and open star clusters like the double cluster. Of course these are also the best objects for untracked astrophotography with a DSLR, but then the question arises in my head, why have someone sweep the sky with binoculars rather than just star hopping to the object straight away? Maybe you are thinking about interesting asterisms folks may want to photograph?

Awesome comparison. Thank you for the time and efforts you spent on yet another masterpiece on your channel.

For the Sky-Watcher Star Adventure, I made my own counterweight with long bolt and nuts, much cheaper. I got a very cheap item that fits in the hotshoe flash adapter, and epoxied a cheap red dot finder on to that.

Thank you for sharing. This is awesome.

Absolutely perfect timing on this video. I've been having a hard time drawing a correlation between dollar amount and (potential) image products, and this helps out tremendously. One question I do have though: as a complete beginner, I seem to be drawn towards Newtonians over all other types of optics. I can't explain this other than the idea of "This thing is HUGE and only HOW much?" Is this something that could end up being detrimental to my dive into Astrophotography? As an example, there seem to be many 6" or 8" Newtonians already on EQ tracking mounts for well under $2000. If I would have gone with one of these setups and slapped a DLSR on the eyepiece, would I have ran into issues? Great content, definitely a subscriber now.

@NebulaPhotos

Lots of astrophotographer friends of mine use Newtonians (designed for imaging with the low profile focuser) quite successfully, and in principle they are the best 'bang for buck'. I've tried using them for imaging, and they weren't for me (at least the modestly priced ones I tried). I was wasting way too much time trying to get the stars to look good, and not any time actually imaging. I still have one (a 6" f/5) so I hope to do a video about reflectors vs. refractors for imaging fairly soon where I can share a lot more.

No, I don't think so. As far as I could tell, the mirrors were perfectly fine, it was more the construction of the telescope itself. Getting everything perfectly square with no tilt was very challenging. Even after I replaced the focuser, I think the lack of reinforcement where the focuser connected to the tube, meant I was always sagging. I'd spend an hour tuning and checking collimation of the mirrors and still find the stars were oblong away from center. I also had these lopsided abberations on bright stars, that I believe were due to the mirror clips on the primary, but I couldn't be sure. I also found that any wind at all wreaked havoc because an 8" newt is a huge windsail. In the end though, many mobile astrophotographer friends of mine, use newts and get great data quality, so it may just come down to the person. I'm very picky about my stars, but also don't have the patience for long setup times.

A 16 min set up time for the Lifer is amazing. For me, it’s 10 min to level the mount, put it together, connect all the cables, fire up the laptop and connect everything. 10 min to do the polar alignment and get the camera cooled to -15C and then a futher 10 min to go to the target, focus, do a test exposure and check the guiding. More time if I decide to reorientate the camera for better framing. I don’t think I’ve ever got going in less than 30 min.

@@erito9507 Why do you think that? Imagine a white 16*16 pixel- and a white 4k pixel picture with each having one dead pixel on it. On the 16*16 it's truly visible on the 4k it isn't noticable at all. On a small scale the pixel is destroying the Image, but on a larger scale the pixel exists without problems. Transfering this effect to the destruction of earth means that even if we destroy us and our planet, even our solarsystem, there is still a unimaginable larger part of the universe that stays uneffected by us. Surely it would be much better to not destroy the earth and keeping the earth livible is a goal we should never give up, but if it should happen, I could still rest in peace knowing that we are just like one dead pixel on a 4k screen.
