Real Time aurora footage - Canon R8 (actual brightness)
I tried my best to match the camera settings to what I was seeing with my eyes. I used my Canon R8 mirrorless camera with an f1.8 lens. This is actual video footage (not a timelapse) so this should give you an idea of the actual speed of the aurora.
Note: In the video I said I was using a 1.8mm lens. That is incorrect. I was using an f1.8 lens but it was the 24mm lens I think.

Raw footage of the aurora from my All-Sky camera. I had set the camera to about what my naked eye could see. A few bright strands were a bit overexposed due to the low dynamic range of the old guide camera I had re-purposed. But over all- this is about what things looked like in terms of colour and brightness. You can gauge the exposure level from the brightness of the stars in the background. ...

    • @AbdurAstro
      @AbdurAstro 14 часов назад

      Cleaning lenses doesn't help much with image clarity unless your lenses and mirrors are completely covered in dirt and mud. The scope was also perfectly collimated already. The issue unfortunately was the poor seeing we get near the mountains. It is extremely rare for us to get what others would consider average seeing conditions where I live.

    • @AbdurAstro
      @AbdurAstro 3 дня назад

      An 8" EdgeHD should be capable of producing sharp stars. However, as I see from my C11 EdgeHD, you need very good seeing for that. I find myself seeing limited on the vast majority of nights. Which is why I was using my C11 EdgeHD at F2 with the hyperstar. That gives me pretty sharp results as I am not seeing limited but of course, the stars aren't as pinpoint as they would be in a nice refractor like yours. For nights where the seeing isn't great and I want sharp stars (and don't need the focal length or resolution), I use a 60mm quintuplet refractor. Sadly all scope designs have their strengths and weaknesses.

    I've owned my Heritage 130P since mid 2018. I bought mine for use for visual astronomy, and because it was compact enough to set up and use on the patio of my flat. It's an excellent compact grab and go manual telescope for any suburban astronomer. Not good at splitting doubles??? With a 6.5mm eyepiece, it is excellent at that task. Here in Brisbane, Australia, at public viewing evenings organized by a local astronomy club, I regularly use Rigil Kentaurus and Toliman as a viewing target, and the split between them is something that the ordinary public can clearly see in the 6.5mm eyepiece. Cellphone Astrophotography through the eyepiece. With the right eyepiece, getting good photos of stars is not out of reach. Being f5, the moon and planets are really bright in this telescope, and that shows up in cellphone photos.

      @AbdurAstro 15 дней назад

      No such thing as too much mount. If it's within your price range and it'll be in an observatory instead of transporting it to a dark site each time, then it would work great for C11. Another option is the CEM120. My CEM70 has been running amazingly and surprisingly works well for my C11 as long as there is no wind. However if there is any wind, the CEM120 or EQ8-R would be more stable.

    The ZWO takes top spot on the Veil nebula, however, FOV aside, the Seestar is a formidable contender. For M13 I felt the Seestar was every bit as nice as the MC2600 image. For $3000, I could have 6 Seestars simultaneously capturing a mosaic of the entire Veil complex, capturing 6 different objects at once, or all of them capturing a single object at 6x speed. My Seestar arrived today, which of course means it will rain for the next few weeks. :( Thank you for this side-by-side comparison.

Stacking failed Stacking failed, please check the log to fix your issue. It looks like there is a memory allocation error, change memory settings and try to fix it. ************************************************************* Allthough in the log file I cannot find any memory related issues in the previous script steps until this one pops up and the script execution is broken off.

    Dear Friend, I appreciate your efforts to demonstrate the operation of this accessory. For many years I have spent a lot of energy and time collimating Newtonian telescopes. It’s one of the most tiring procedures for me. In my humble opinion, there is no reliable way to place a point on the reflecting surface of the diagonal mirror at the point where the optical axis breaks due to reflection, keeping the reflected optical axis coincident with the axis of the focusing tube. Nevertheless, I had thought about buying this accessory. Unfortunately, after watching your video carefully, I have come to the conclusion that this accessory will not solve any of my problems. I have tackled these problems with every means at my disposal, and it has taken me much longer than the twenty minutes you spend showing your collimating process. I have arrived at an acceptable degree of approximation. I say this only because, at the end of the process you describe, there are still uncertainties about the result achieved.These are just my personal considerations, I am glad that other people have appreciated this device for their Newtonian telescopes.

    • @AbdurAstro
      @AbdurAstro 17 дней назад

      @@jaydias13 Hi there. Between the S50 and Dwarf 3, I think the Dwarf 3 has an edge as it is newer. It has an 8mp sensor compared to a 2mp one on the S50. So it will have a larger field of view and thanks to the smaller 2micron pixels (vs 2.9 micron), it's actual resolution will be fairly close to the S50. But the S50 has a slight advantage here as the objects look 17% larger with the S50 when zoomed in at 100%. I like that the Dwarf 3 has mosaic mode out of the box (although ZWO is working on one for the S50 it seems) and the Dwarf 3 has an option for equatorial mode in the software but I will have to see how well that works if I can get my hands on a review unit. The widefield camera on the Dwarf 3 is an advantage for milky way shots. So over all I don't think you can go wrong with either as they are both good value but the Dwarf 3 has an edge spec wise.
