Thank you!

I’ve got a few small scopes and a few choices of camera. Celestron 80x400. Celestron 70x700. 1959 Lafayette 60x800 and a tasco 60x900. My camera are a Nikon d3100 , svbony sv305 , and a iPhone 8 Plus camera.. and the best shots I’ve ever taken were using that 1950s Lafayette and my iPhone.. for deep sky astrophotography the little 80x400 and my Nikon are fantastic with a proper mount.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I made a capture like you did and it's awesome! (except just a bit blurry), for a newbie like me this is gold. Thank you so much, you made me take a giant leap in learning.

Thanks Don that's a great image. I haven't thought of doing a mosaic of the Moon before, It looks fun I'll have to give it a try. Thanks.😊

Super nice, gives me something to try using my equipment. What are the greenish white material inside some of the craters ?

Excellent tutorial, thanks for sharing! 👌🏻 What resolution were your videos captured at and what is the length of each video clip roughly?

Hi Don, wow, awesome tutorial, I observe Luna with my Skywatcher 180 MAK Pro & Celestron 8se. Already getting great detail but never used this option. Just purchased a ZWO ASI183MC camera so looking forward to using this to create something awesome. Fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞 thx again 👍👍👍

Hi, just found your channel. Great video. Just wondering if you were planning on doing a video later this month for the great conjunction? That would be great to see. Thanks 😊

Great job, Don! However, craters seem to be ringed by luminous artefacts. Likely a bit over processed in the wavelet step? Anyway, you gave me the motivation to do it on my own! Clear skies, JB

Thanks for the note. Yeah I think in hindsight I probably over processed it a bit. You should definitely give it a try! Thanks again and clear skies!

Thank you ,, but there is no another software or application for assembling since ICE & image compositor are unavailable

Hi Don, that procedure is awesome! My question is about the Mosaic ... Do you capture the mosaic shots automatically with software or do you have to move and shoot manually? I've got a good tracking mount but wondering if the Celestron has a built in mode for doing the mosaics?

@theinterstellarfeller

Жыл бұрын

Hi! Sorry for the late reply. I capture the mosaic shots manually. Not sure if Celestron has a built in mode or not. If you use the ASI AIR or NINA, I believe those have a mosaic function. Thanks for watching and clear skies!

Use a natural density and a pole rising filter to get her ,!!!

Great job! I don't have any equatorial mount, can I still shoot video and make mosaic?

@theinterstellarfeller

2 жыл бұрын

Yes absolutely. I did not use an equatorial mount - just the stock alt-azimuth that came with my Celestron 4SE. Just make sure you do a decent 1 or 2 star alignment and you should be good.

Hi, great video! I was just wondering if these programs are compatible with both Mac and PC?

@theinterstellarfeller

3 жыл бұрын

Thank for watching! These are Windows based programs. I guess if you run Parallels or Bootcamp, you may be able to run them on your Mac. I'm a Mac person myself but I ended up getting a dedicated PC laptop for my astrophotography because of the planetary software.

can you capture the flag?

Great video Don! Quick question, why did you shoot vidos/avi's? Why not shoot raw images (still images)? Also, would a full frame DSLR work? I've been trying to capture hyper detailed pictures of the moon too and am frequently disappointed. You can see some of my shots here: instagram.com/rmichaeldavis/ I've never used Sharp Cap and Autostakkert (I currently use Deep Sky Stacker) but will check them both out. Thanks again...great video!

That’s a great question. Typically for planetaryt and lunar I like to shoot video to capture as many frames as possible. My planetary camera is a high frame rate device that captures image frames in RAW. Autostakkert is used to process the video, keeping only the sharpest/stable frames. This is almost necessary for planetary. The lunar, there’s defiinitely flexibility in how you acquire the image because it’s so big and bright. However, if your seeing conditions aren’t great or there’s too much atmosphere, shooting video for lunar is a safe bet. I highly recommend processing your planetary and lunar images in Autostakkert and sharpening in Registax. They are designed for it and it’s completely changed my planetary/lunar game. The programs are free and well worth it. Thanks for checking out my video. Clear skies!
