    Thanks for this video, will try it soon. I wonder if there a way to show only the (customized) landscape line in Stellarium? In other words, allow stars below the line to show through.

    This is great thanks for the instructional! I use Stellarium scope and Stellarium to control where I image. Now I need to get pano's from 2 of the DSS's I use and also my heavily polluted (Bortle 8-9) sky at home where I mainly conduct tests before packing up and heading to a DSS. This will give me much better planning accuracy for an evening. Well here I am a year later and actually ready to give this a shot now that I have a decent pano from my park OBS. Getting the editing done using GIMP is my only hurdle at this point so need to learn a couple of tools then I should have it. If I do it properly then I'll be able to plan a session from any of my pc's where I have Stellarium installed. My home OBS is where I plan to shoot everything and not have to travel as much. I am now using a cooled mono cam with all the filters plus a Optolong L Pro to take care of the local LP. Thanks again for sharing!

    You're explaining well how to calibrate azimuth by setting north. How to calibrate elevation as well ?

  • @jaymanu12345
    @jaymanu123454 жыл бұрын

    Hello. I found a solution to calibrate elevation, if it might help someone : - Measure the angular height in ° of a tall building or tree, using a clinometer or a phone app - Measure this same height in pixels on the picture - Extrapolate the amount of pixels needed for 180° - Enlarge the picture to this height in pixels. You need to calculate how much to add up and down, in order to get the horizon exactly in the middle - Note that the picture doesnt seem to need being of a precise size like 1024, a random size worked for me Now the sun is setting down the right building corner, so I assume it worked right

    Hey, hello. Can someone please tell me how will a tabletop reflector telescope perform on messier objects from a light polluted city? And if those small telescopes could offer good planetary detail if pushed to their maximum usefull magnifications with barlows and short FL eyepieces? I'm interested in MEADE'S lightbrige MINI (82mm, 300 mm FL), CELESTRON'S firstscope (76mm , 300mm FL) or ORION'S funscope (76mm , 300mm FL). Is it worth the buy if I will use it mostly from a light polluted area, tHANK YOU.

  • @amateurastronomy-telescope9755

    if your horizon is set too low you will need to go back to the part when we back filled below the image horizon, you will need to raise your image and fill the void. this should push everything up, if you have very large trees you might find you need to clip some of the tree tops

    You can see stuff with them, but they basically create their own light pollution, so when you start taking pictures of nebulae to registax, you will have issues chasing colors. Even if your intention is to drag it out of the garage a couple times a year, then your money is still not well spent on the focal length bird-jones offers, because you will never get it aligned properly! Unfortunately, theyre popularity outweighs their flaws, and people end up with something they cant use very quickly
