One of the best videos I have seen on how to attach a DSLR to a telescope. Thanks so much!

just bought a like new gently used t3i starter bundle online for $200. wow it is still an awesome camera in 2021. I want to shoot the moon and your video is very good information for first timers like myself trying to combine the dslr with a scope. this video doesn't overwhelm the newbie and the 3 options you showed helps us understand what accessory we are buying to attach camera correctly. good job keeping it informative and also simple .

Brilliant. Thanks so much. I get my 5SE next week and this is most helpful. Thank again.

Photography advice for the novice1. Get the focus as close as possible then shoot at a high fstop (f22) This will help your focus 2. The noise in the pictures is more likely caused by his high ISO. See 10:30 mark. He is at ISO3200. For time exposures use ISO of 400. A few more minutes of the lens open won't hurt anything if it is secured to a tripod and give you a less noisy pic......Great video on the scope. Thx for your help.

Thank you very much for this tutorial you are very nice and you are worthy of a very good trainer in any case it gave me the desire to immerse myself in the photography of the universe ... Thank you again

Thank you for a comprehensive tutorial. I have only just purchase an SE and so know very little about astro photography.

Excellent tutorial! You made it so easy to follow and understand. I'm glad I saw your video because you gave me exact information I needed. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the vid. You actually answered a lot of my questions about astro photography and set up.

excellent presentation..and and slow and detailed...Thanks

Great stuff, although this was done in 2012 it has helped me loads in 2022.

Thank you for the video. Gives me a better understanding of using camera with my 5se.

Thanks for the great video. I get a lot out of your efforts. I have an 8SE and will be borrowing my wife"s camera :) Have a T-ring and adapter but I did not know of the long extension. I shall have to look that up. Also just picked up an nextimage 5 for planetary but of course with new toys comes cloudy skies.

Very helpful video for a newbee such as myself. Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. You answered a lot of questions I had.

Thank you Sir for this comprehensive tutorial video.

Nice job. I'd love to see some of your photos. I'm thinking of the same setup, so seeing some pics front a fellow new explorer will help.

Great video, I am just getting into figuring out how to mount my camera onto my telescope but another thing I would recommend is using Aperture mode, it will judge the exposure length based on the light levels. You would have to play with it to see how it will work with what you are doing, but it works great for the other photography I am doing. Also i you kick the ISO back from 3200 to a more normal number like 400-800 the resulting images will be less noisy. You will still have a few stuck pixels (as you always get those) but it will result in cleaner images.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!

Very cool video, thanks for sharing.

Back in the early 90s we had to use black and white Tech Pan film and shoot 90 minute exposures guiding by hand.

Great video thank you 🙌🏻 I have a nexstar 6se and I’ve just brought a canon 600d/t3i so this video is a great help 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗

Thank you for this very in depth tutorial!

Great videos. Always enjoy watching what you do. I've learned a lot. Thanks fir everything. Using a cpc 1100 and an 8se. You've helped lots

Nice video. You were scaring me a bit with attaching the camera on the tele-extender tube. I'd suggest unscrewing the ring on the telescope first, attaching the camera to the tele-extender, and then re-attaching the whole thing to the scope. It just seems less likely to slip out of your hands.

Hello Baltier, excellent videos, thank you very much for your help. I'm wondering if it is possible to attach the t camera adapter with an eyepiece..., or the only way it is with the tele-extender....

With the weight of the camera, will the telescope still track?

@ZacharyMathematica

While there's certainly some abnormal strain on the motors, the tracking is based on the actual movement of the arm, not just an applied voltage for an assumed weight, so tracking is as good as without the camera attached. There is some play with where you lock the telescope into the arm, I always try and push it a bit forward to help counterbalance it a bit. But to be perfectly honest, that's just to make me feel better.

Great video! How did you get the ORION tele-extender to work with the CELESTRON components?

Thank you for the video!

That DOG IS HAPPY !!!

Very helpful video. Thanks !

Very helpful. Thanks

Hi Baltier2705. Your videos are excellent. Can you post what you use to capture your videos?

Great video. I got the idea of using my Celestron 4SE and Canon 600D!

Nice job. many thanks from...Gary form NE England...

I love this guy!

Thanks very much for video, very interesting I will try with my nexstar 5SE and 700D camera

Well done. Thanks P.S. (The eye piece is not 17 inch I think but 17 mm)

Great video. Thanks!

Great video! Thank you for posting!! I know what adapter to buy now thanks to you!!

There are several adapters you can buy. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qX6npKSckqe9k7Q.html The ones I like the best are the ones that have the thread (T-Thread) on one side and eye peice adapter on the other side.

Very informative, thanks!

Telescope: NexStar 6SE Camera: Canon 3Ti Adapters: Celestron Universal T-Adapter Canon T Ring Orion Tele-Extender Orion Digiscoping adapter The telescope is mounted on a home made wedge for better star tracking. You can get an expensive wedge at Celestron for about $400. Thanks for watching, Clear Skies!!

Please Can I use mirror 2 inch to celestron nexstar 6se

Yes you are right. Indeed you have to perform a "calibrate GoTo" after attaching the camera so the telescope can compensate for the weight of it. Thanks for watching, and have clear skies!

Can you tell me what model is your finderscope? Thx!

This video is awesome! Thanks a ton.

Thank you very much. It was just what I needed to find it :-)

Great video quality, I see in the reflection that you using a Sony Cam. Wish model is it ? The NexStar 6 is awsome too!!!

nice vid

Thanks for the video, very helpful!

Still a tremendously helpful video! Thanks a lot!

That was very helpful. Thanks

I like your dog buddy!!

Hi another great vid Am I right in saying that once you set up your camera or web cam onto youe talescope you must run the telescope setup so that the telescope can adjust the weight of your cameras Mike from Scotland UK

Where did you buy your orion extension tube? I can not find the one you have.

do you think its better to use a standard 1.25" T-adapter or the special Schmidt-Cassegrain T-adapter for celestron Telescopes? I think the SCT adapter is more sturdy, but the downside is that you cant fix a barlow to it

Could you / would you please make another clip showing that extender piece once more? WHat kind of piece is that? I couldn't find it on the German market ... so where did YOU get it ? Can you tell me more? Thanks

very helpful thanks!!!

Very nice video. Thank you for doing this. I am thinking the DSLR setting for this be equivalent as attaching a manual lens that doesn't provide any feedback to the camera. The fstop on the telescope is f10, so taking it on shutter priority should be easier.

Thank you for the video and the time to show everyone the tricks of the trade. I'm in a process of trying to capture Comet Lovejoy and was wondering, would it be recommendable to use the UV/IR filter with my Canon 60D? As I use this filter with a Philips Toucam SPC900NC for imaging planets ie Jupiter, Saturn.

cool

thank you for a great tutorial

That is some great equipment you've got there!

Hello. Thanks for the video. Please can you tell me if Do you take some long exposure pictures with the equatorial wedge in your celestron nexstar 6 se? How was the results?. Thanks, Regards from Colombia PD: Tienes abandonado tu canal en español sobre el nexstsr 6 se :(

I would also love to hear about that. I'm guessing by now you have some answers and i'm hoping you'll share it! :)

cool video

Hi there, Was just wondering if these same adapter and tube will go on the NexStar 5se without any problems...

Another informative and helpful video Baltier. Thanks. Really liked the sunspot you could see alot of detail within the spot. It was not just simply a black smudge. Really hoping to see some DSO pictures or videos from you. I am close to deciding on whether to head down the DSLR route (I am using afocal at the moment) or going CCD with a Hyperstar, downside to the Hyperstar is it is very expensive when you factor in a CCD camera too. Oh and a laptop thown in as well!

Do you need to install a lens in the T-Adapter? What is the locking screw on the adapter for?

Hey, I an newbie to astrophotography. Pls tell me how to take pics.. I have repeatedly connected a mirrorles canon m299 to a compact 114/500 dobsonian with t2 ring and adapter. Nice focusing but no recording. Nor pics nor videos. What do I miss??

Thank You for all you Great videos Baltier2705, I also am in Indiana. The Extender is a very cool set up. I now know another way of doing it. Don't Forget The 2012 Orionid meteor shower will peak this weekend! Look for the greatest numbers of meteors to streak the sky in the dark hours before dawn on Saturday, October 20, and Sunday, October 21, with forecasters giving the nod to Sunday. I will be out Both mornings about 3 am looking SE at Orion.

Yes you can use that software with the t3i. make sure to take darks and flats too.

at 15:26 what is the tel extender attachment your using, do you have an item number and name ? so we can get a similar attachment and where did you purchase it ?

Can your DIY Wedge be use at Latitudes 56 º (Denmark)?

Also use mirror lock up to stop vibration from the mirror moving

Great video 👍🏻 Would love to see some new videos from you ✌🏻

Where did you find the long extension to connect your camera to the end of your telescope?

What is the thread on the extender? I was wondering if it could be used to adapt a video camera with a 37mm thread.

It just became a little easier for me to understand astrophotography 😀

Why did you choose the Celestron SE6, as opposed to other makes models?

Are you taking your photos in .RAW? If not, you should. World of difference for post processing.

Baltier, Any chance you could list the equipment you used in a comment or the description? Would be a great help :) Great video very helpful.

Thank you. Has been in the Orion website. I can not find it which is similar to yours. Do you have an item number or link? How long is the extension tube?

balitier can I use my cannon t4i the same way as the video?

your camera should have a 10 second self timer delay on it, which allows you to press the shutter release that will count down 10 seconds before exposure allowing the picture to be taken without vibration affecting the exposure.... nice video though..

Actually, he was triggering the shutter from a remote, so no need for that. But it's a great option if you don't have the remote. :)

can u link the product info for all the parts of the 2nd option? and maybe where u got them

Where do you post your pictures?

Hi sr, where can I get that accessory, and works with a full frame?

sir,i have 3 short question?1st and i put 20mm lenc in front to camera when i attach to telescope and 2ed is can i connect canon eos 3ti to my leptop?and do u know how to make radio telescope or where to buy it?

Hey bud thanks for the info I myself have a cpc1100 celetron with a Sony cámara I get some amazing pictures, I’m in California in the inland empire

You did not mention the visual back 1 1/4 adapter which makes this all possible.

Very nice video. I have the exact same set up as yours with the exception of the wedge and I have an 8Se but yesterday I attached my 3ti to the telescope and I was getting no images at all, the screen was all black and it was pointed to the moon. I wonder what I was doing wrong.

I hope you have it figured out by now, but you probably had a low exposure, so not enough light was coming into the sensor.

Hello Tiago. Thank you for the reply. You're right, I had to point to something a lot brighter to be able to view it on screen.

How did you setup the focus on the camera to go with the telescope and the 17mm lens? Great video. I am just getting into the photo part of astronomy.

You must have some serious balance issues with that, and you would definitely need a remote shutter release

I have the exact same setup. However with the camera attached I get zero image?

Hahaha! Believe me, I wish I was rich but I'm not. I had to save for a long time just for the telescope, let along the Camera. Thanks for watching though!
