gratz

darn, missed it, thanks for this. time to get out the chainsaw ?

Hi

Hello Doug!

Thanks

Thank you so much, great session!

I saw it too but on replay.

Brilliant stuff. Sky safari makes for a much more enjoyable night out in the dark

oh I'm so upset I missed this! but thanks for doing this - its exactly what I was hoping for :)

Very interesting. Thank you.

Sorry I missed you tonight

Interesting but unable to see what you're pointing at with 1080p due to the RUclips compression. Perhaps uploading 2k or 4k would help. Clear Skies.

Hey Doug, missed the livestream but watching now! I need some inspiration for the new season 24/25... :)

How did you set up your target list in astro planner? Did it create for you? Or did you put them all in?

is chat on not seeing any

hi karatane Dunedin New Zealand and if all goes well will be observing with my trusty seestar shortly hindquarters is ok just no poop please 🙂

maybe you can consider doing a review now for Astroplanner. You seem to prefer it over the rest. Your work flow using astroplanner particularly how you sort for observation like the messier marathon and group together object for observation. I think it would be very helpful.

Doug where was the moon?

a beautiful and lovely orion nebula

This was my first fime join live stream

In 2024 I am having the same problem with windows 11. Ioptron haven't bothered to update their trouble shooting tips since 2017. Poor show.

Galaxy hunting with a RASA 11 very well done.

Pesky clouds! However, a super 1 hour session of observing. Really enjoyable as usual. Looking forward to your next observing session. Did you see that the latest SharpCap version allows you to unstack the last frame. If you see a satellite photo-bomb the shot. You need to unstack the offending sub before the next frame is stacked. 😊

The short exposures wins it for me. There's more signal and the graininess could be reduced with more exposures.

I'm a big fan of EAA!

Why did you add noise to the audio track? Explain to me, how does adding noise make it easier for me to hear what you are saying?

Disappointed I missed this live stream! Love all the faint fuzzies!

Sorry I missed most of the live stream. I was (finally) getting some visual with my 127 and G11. First time I really had goto working on it. I was working across Scorpio and Sagitarius Messier objects. So much higher in the sky here than when I was in MN. One downside, dew; all over everything by 11:30. I confirmed my eyes and skies really aren't that great anymore; and a refractor gets you bending in all sorts of odd positions. I really have to go EAA.

How neat!

Thanks Pete and Doug!

Good to see a new posting. Thank you Pete and Doug.

Thank you Pete! You are amazing! Thanks for the "skylette" Doug! Appreciate you guys 😊

is Betelgeuse getting crazy?

OMG. My favorite two EAA live streamers. And now together? What is happening? I was also tinkering with Pete’s code that he published on Github, mainly the part that is used to communicate with SharpCap, Pete used queue service (M2Mqtt), I changed that for something far more simpler, but not as simple as the placing a file in the folder and monitoring it. It’s a work in progress, but I promise to show it when it is ready. Thanks for sharing. I hope to see more streams from both of you soon. Clear skies!

Great video and topic! Question: with alt-az mount tracking- if the sequencer is doing frequent plate solves and re-centering the object and live-stacking is aligning stacked images as it goes - why do you need the de-rotator device to turn the camera? Better image stacking? I hope/think this process will help me with my short exposure alt-az imaging. I don’t want to use/buy a de-rotator. Great solution and video! Just heard Mike Dobres say that the de-rotator is not necessary. No need for any replies. This process is excellent! Thanks for this video.

Got some really cool pictures and timelapse all the way down here in South Florida !

Burnham's Celestial Handbook has a finder chart for T CrB on page 710 (Volume II).

Was about to tune in at 4:30 (AZ) and got distracted..

I am trying to run my telescope camera from inside my house for EAA. I have connected my telescope camera to my PC using a Conable USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable with a signal booster. When using my SvBony 705c (asi585), the PC does not get enough of a signal to function. When using my SvBony 405c (asi294), the PC does get enough signal to function, but the signal is corrupted. I started with a 50' cable and when that exhibited these symptoms, I bought a shorter 25' cable it failed as badly. I tried on two laptops and the PC and had the same results in every case. Does anyone use a USB cable to connect their telescope camera to their computer? If so, what brand do you use and what length of cable do you use? Any other ideas? Thanks.

What panetarium app do you use in this video?

Not used to seeing you in the daylight....

We were observing from Seymour, Indiana. We said, "The eclipse was about to start,"... but we meant, "Totality is about to start." : )

The “star” was the planet, Venus!!!

Thank you Doug, so much fun. Congratulations on the completion of 2024. I feel honored to have participated!😊
