For real! Makes me think it might be better to use a smaller sensor faster camera now that this is possible

Nicely done… 👍

Hey hope you’re well, incredible video and process ! Would it be possible for a download to really appreciate the details ! Many thanks

Holy cow dude!! That’s amazing!! I’m just getting into astrophotography and can’t wait to get my setup going. Do you or anyone in comments have pointers /tips on first night shoots? Thanks.

Do not discourage you if everything is not working on the firsts nights. It's a learning curve, start easy with short focal lenght if possible and make your guiding good. This is the most important to not loose time on the nights. You can learn most of the rest by day ;)

Alright, i'm sold. What's a good midrange build you'd recommend to find some neat galaxies?

i discoverd your channel tjust now very nice work on all the vids! one thing beside all that is i wish to see the landing spot for the astronauts (its a wisch from the early days for me ) is that possible ? that would be so great!

OMG IT MAKES ME FEEL SO GOOD THAT I SPENT SO MUCH TIME WORKING ON INDIVIDUAL FRAMES, I THOUGHT I WAS AN IDIOT I can't wait to try this firecapture plugin tonight, I'm looking at like over 100 frames

Great video Bray. Is there a link to your mosaic software?

Great video, 100% geared towards my ultimate goal. One question though, did you try aligning the layers in Photoshop so you didn’t have to do all that manual tweaking?

nice

Interesting video. It appears Microsoft ICE is no longer available for download?

Hello. Could you please explain about the mirror locks? I am looking into option of having my 8HD automated, but the Mirror locks are giving me a big headscratch. I even look into option of having linear focuser installed instead... How did you sort out automation of your focus?

Nice men 👍🏻

I use PhotoMerge in Photoshop to create my mosaics.

Hey I really enjoyed your video. I just noticed though that the moon was drifting during your capture, was it because the tracking rate of your mount was set to sideral instead of lunar?

@Cornerstone_Creative

Correct, but with MPM, the software can only set the mount to sidereal due to software limitations

@astrofalls

It’s because of the drift compensation acting up, hasn’t done that before usually. And I think the mount does go to lunar tracking

The barlows don't cut sharpness making the pano grid unnecessarily numerous? In other words, shoot with less magnification for less grid cells for the same result?

How did you get Moon Panorama Maker to show up in you FireCaptrue pre-processing menu?

This is incredible 😲 One question: what is the meridian flip?

How is it possible you’re not mentioning that crystal clear huge cave entrance

I don't have any experience with astrophotography, so excuse the stupid question: is the "waviness" of the image caused by the atmosphere? Or is it micro shocks like wind, ground shaking, etc. that are visible due to the extreme focal length?

@theenergeticturtle9489

Could be a number of things but yes focal length magnifies any vibrations and the atmosphere creates waves kinda like on a super hot day on a long stretch of road how it looks wobbly and wavy in the distance pretty crazy how much affects images with astrophotography

You should see the photo of the moon I took on my Samsung S22 Ultra. The zoom on that phone is insane. I can see a lot of the same distinct marks on the moon as you have.

But is it optical Zoom? If not, then it's not that useful, is it? Optics are diffraction limited anyways.

If he bought it new about 4400 US dollars. You can see the link to the various prices of all of his equipment under his description. I suspect the whole rig was around 10,000 US dollars.

National geographic claims a sixteen-year-old has the most clearest & close up picture of the moon. They claim it only can happen in India or some shit. Whats your opinion on the india claim?

Fix me and u can do more than this

Nice. But honestly all that fixing and manipulation with the image makes it.. fake.

It's a composite for a reason

You are not photographing anything. With all the post-processing you are doing, you are effectively photoshopping your images. Not at all realistic. Total fabrication.

I get what you’re saying... if you have a preconception as to how you think the moon should look, you’re going to manipulate whatever imagery you have to curate that outcome.

While Astrodad is right, you can spend insane amounts of money, things like shooting the moon can be done for next to nothing. An old mirrorless like the EOS M can be obtained for about $150 and a lens that does the trick can be found for $100-$300 depending on age, desired focal length and "speed". Add a cheap tripod and you're good to go with the moon or our incredible Milky Way core. As another option, an old Dobsonian scope could also be picked up for a few hundred dollars and you can even shoot through the eyepiece with any newer cell phone with pretty satisfying results. Just add gear as your interests and skills grow. :)
