Pretty much the same setup I use but I use a heq5 pro. In fact I decided to start imaging with the 6Se after seeing your previous vlogs. I Would really appreciate it if you could tell what clamp etc you use to attach your pc PPB and hub etc to the scope’s dovetail as I’m using a crappy piece of tin at the moment. Thanks and keep the vlogs coming 👍

Thats awesome! This is the clamp I have. Fits both the 6se and my RASA: www.ontariotelescope.com/D-Series-or-V-Series-Dovetail-Adapter_p_1807.html Enjoy!

Excellent capture of the Moon 👌 Tycho crater really stands out 🔭

Thanks you Notts, Glad you like it. My moon images are getting better and better each attempt :D

Why does this channel have so few subscribers? I'm preparing my way more modest rig to shoot the Moon in IR only to see if this has any positive effect on lowering the atmospheric shimmering. It should because diffraction drops off with longer wavelengths, but I want to see that working in person. Cheers! I'm glad I've stumbled upon this video.

Great job! That image looks amazing!

Fabulous work. My, what skills you have! 👌

Nice images Shawn.

Nice video and excellent end results with the moon. It's a great hobby. I've just started doing this after a 30 year gap! I've just began to live stream the planets and the moon through my telescope, it's a challenge, but I love it!

Thanks for watching. We share very similar clear nights being so close haha. Been watching your videos for a while now. Great content! :) Those damn trees!!

if you go to your local auto store you can buy some hot pockets packs, you shake them up and they get hot and stay that way for a long time. works good on a cold night. just stick them in your pockets and and they will thaw your hands out in seconds!.

excellent info

yur like a editing samurai!

I'm so glad to find these vids from planetary imagers. I'm very interested in doing this. I have a Takahashi Mewlon 180c and just got a ZWO ASI224MC cam. I have this new app: Good To Stargaze that has seeing information, but I haven't been out to evaluate it yet. The telescope was great visually on Jupiter during opposition, though my 100mm f/7.4 FC-100DC was giving me more pleasing views under the less than perfect seeing conditions. I've been practicing tracking and getting the right sizing and exposure time for the video through the window 😂 because it's been so cold. I'm using a Televue 2x Barlow for Jupiter.

Loved this video walkthrough and your results. Feedback: That mouse has the harshest / loudest recorded click ever, though. Made the Pixinsight part difficult to watch.

Great video. Can you tell me more about how you mounted the PC? What is mounted to?

Great image, now you have to do one with IR Pass filter too :)

Nice Video :) + 4:03 that's why I love to have at least 2 filter holder for my filter drawer... just swap them :) no fiddling with the filter itself.

Oh wow...really first time I saw Moon processing with Pixinsight....could you do another video please😊

Very cool setup and images. I got almost similar images but not with that perfect detail.....used my Samsung Galaxy a6+ as my camera and my $100 Malkin Reflector telescope.

What resolution image does your sensor capture? I love your final product, it looks really really accurate, though I can’t help but wish there was greater sharpness. Unless it’s just the video res and KZread compression

Hi Shawn Happy New Year and clear sky on 2023. Can you please let us know what software are you using on the PC attached to your telescope? It looks like you can wireless connect from inside. I’ve tried stellarmate but the pc does not have enough range. Thanks

Great! I never thought to use a UV/IR filter as I have an Optolong, question is you focused on a star then rather the moon it's self? I have always focused on the Moon and it's not easy when using higher power as you can focus on the edge of the Moons craters or the center of the Moon. So please say how and what you focused on please??? Thank you!

@shawnharvPhotography

Happy to help. And you're right. I focus on a nearby star using a bahtinov mask. Once I have perfect focus, I slew over to the moon.

may I ask about your 105mm of back focus required for the Focal reducer? I see you have the T adapter (50mm), the 16mm spacer, starizona filter drawer(17.5mm)the 22mm spacer and finally the camera which has 6.5mm, so i think your at 112mm? trying to do a similar set up and wondering how to get there :-)

I don't bother about backfocus distance. I put a Canon EOS T2 mount on the telescope, at the ZWO camera end I put the ZWO T2 extender then add the ZWO EOS T2 adapter. The two EOS adapters clip together and there is no brainwork involved. I bought a used EOS 2x teleconverter from Japan and it clips in between the two EOS adapters to double your focal length. If you look at the ZWO camera manual, look at the arrangement for attaching a Canon EOS camera to the camera for the required parts. I have a Fujifilm Compact System Camera and I need and EOS to Fujifilm X-Mount adapter and I can put this camera on the telescope. I will probably use this arrangement when photographing the solar eclipse in Texas in 2024, but will probably take my Askar FMA180 telescope/lens.

So, Baader says not to use an IR cut filter for the moon, but you found it was better with the filter? I'm confused (which is pretty common). My other question is what that filter does to Ha.

When you have an Baader Solar Continuum Filter for the sun try him on the Moon it's surprising sharpen results

@shawnharvPhotography

4 жыл бұрын

Nice! And I could use it on the sun as well. I'll have to look into that

can you please explain why u use a UV/IR cut filter and not an IR Pass 685nm for example? I think it will be better to improve seeing and imaging. What do you think? cheers

The mini PC came with a little, metal plate that helps you attach it to a flatscreen monitor. I used that and instead of attaching it to a computer monitor, I screwed it on the dovetail adapter. I did use velcro before that and that worked flawlessly as well.

Hi Shawn, finally got around to attempting this. Biggest problem was finding the bracket that came with the mini-PC! Anyway, I have it set up now with much the same type of adapter, and I must say it's quite an elegant solution, so thanks very much for the advice!

I was wondering; I usually add 1mm to my back focus depending on if I have a filter in the optical train or not. Wouldn't that affect the quality of the image?

What does back focus refer to - what does this mean?

g`day i was thinking of getting this filter the baader ir uv cut for planets they say it gets rid of the violet ghost colour you can get on the edges of the disc and christopher go also says its good for planets i also like the baader uhc-s for nebulas and the baader moon and skyglow filters thanks for the up load cheers

You should save your Pixinsight icons so you don't have to find them and scoot them to the side constantly.
