Ditch the hand controller, use sharpcap or an eqdir cable, i use Cartes Du Ceil, Sharpcap Eqmod and a mouse to control everything, All sky plate solver integrates into SC so you can always find targets if your pa is off.

Fantastic, I flew through Namibia en route to Saint Helena. Wish I’d stopped over.

Note: if you update SharpCap via the menu, it could be that you got "no update available" but if you look on the homepage, there is a current Update available!!!

I don't think that was space "junk". Don't insult the beauty of space please. Use another word. Like UAP!?! 😘😎🤯👽

Thanks for taking us along.

Very informative Mark. Thanks

What’s this lodge called? Couldn’t find it on Google maps wouldn’t mind staying there?

If you haven't tried the GoTo Catalogue Target feature yet you must give it a go. It is one of my favourite features in sharpcap. It automatically goes off and finds the target, names it and starts live stacking. It can do a whole lot more but I would end up writing an essay here so I recommend everyone just check it out for themselves.

Just found your channel. Really enjoyable

Mark, I noticed when you focused using the mask, it was not on square with the telescope, would that make any difference?

I'm so jealous of your clear sky and you sitting there in shorts and a tee shirt. Great video 😃

Much, much, much easier than using settings circles to locate objects and film plates to photograph.

Very beautiful . Remarkable

is the rubber the type of rubber that goes sticky after a number of years

Outstanding video, I'm new to astro so this detailed description is gold.

Wonderful, Mark. I really enjoyed the session with your "willing victim". I also just listened to your episode on the Actual Astronomy podcast. I'll be going to the winter Star Party this year. Will you be there? I'll PM you on Cloudy nights.

about two years ago I saw your clip with azeq6, a few months ago I bought myself one, thanx to you. now ... I too cant get no sleep :). good work/music!

Steven is a complete ignorant 🤣

Love the design. Is it possible to scale up to larger size binoculars. Longer arms perhaps?

Hmm - so I assume that you need to buy two identical eyepieces as well as the binoviewer? Its quite an expensive setup for something that doesn't seem to deal with bright optics very well. Is it lacking decent coatings/ internal baffling etc? Or am I misunderstanding?

I feel your pain. All set up ready for planetary tonight but its not cleared :(

Ah, lovely! 💗🌠💙

That was great, Mark - what a stunning landscape! Interesting run through the editing process as well. And I found the outtakes particularly relatable! 🤣

I know that tree!!!

Awesome shot and great info on the process!👏

Wow, amazing landscape, thanks Mark. Looks like Mars where there is no vegetation :) I switched to Affinity a few years ago and have never turned back. Great product. I've never actually tried that compositing though. Great photo, I'm sure you will treasure that.

Great pic,

+1 for switching to Affinity photo. It can even do full astro stacking with calibration frames. Quick tip: You can use the mesh warp filter to make your image more rectangular so you don't have to crop so much away.

It would be nice to give that tree a gallon of water.

Great Video. Thanks for sharing your process.

Any footage of your falling down the hill?

What skysafari is that? I have skysafari 7 and i dont have AR...(android)

There is one free all-in-one program that does sorting, stacking, color alignment and wavelet processing. It doesn't capture files, but does all the rest. It's called PlanetarySystemStacker.

Nice information-packed video Mark. I use the Night Cap app on my iPhone. The remote shutter release is brilliant. I'm guessing you did a three star alignment on the telescope.

Terrible adaptor, clearly you were sponsored to use this junk the Celestron NexYZ adaptor is far mor robust and adjustable and more importantly cheaper. For a fellow Brit I'd have expected a little more integrity.

Video bookmarked! I might have a 25x100 monster coming soon that definitely needs some mounting provisions.

What kind of beautiful music is playing at the beginning of the video?

Nice to see that I'm not the only one who suffers from 'dropsy'.

Nice video. Muy buen video. Saludos

Great results thanks. I have a cheap one of those phone folders but I never use it as its so fiddly. That one does look good, with its 3 axis adjustment wheels. Not cheap though!

Great video Mark, unfortunately the Nightcapcamera does not work for Android phones.

Hi very nice location, and probably far better images than DP could now achieve with all his old useless equipment 😂...

Nice video, helpful, thank you! What a trip you must be having! As with comment adjacent, would also love to learn about approaches to using smart phone or tablet for image processing. Thank you for all the excellent content that you provide.

Very cool video mate. I am jealous. Incredible location for 🔭 is there an app that can do stacking on the phone?

Really useful thanks. re the space blanket, I don't have the luxury of an observatory :( so presumably I'd need to wait until it had cooled down before adding a blanket as otherwise I'd presumably slow down cooling of the OTA? Just got an ADC but struggling a bit with it - any hints/videos gratefully received :)

Fantastic video, you have a distinct teaching method! Question how many frames per video capture do you like to have in size, also I take it, if you are capturing several hours of videos then you might be capturing 60 or 70 videos per session?

Hey mate, Is it possible to mount a 20x80 2.4kg binocular on this mount. Brilliant video and mount btw. Congratulations!

Mark, great video, looking forward to more! Really love that bino viewer; can you use something like that with an Obsession Newtonian?

I recorded the comet in night vision last night and uploaded it. I was surprised at how slow it seems to be moving but then again, it's really far away.

So many wires
