Hi Larry, I just started with the star gazing with my 8 and 6 yr old sons. We came across your channel and learning from your experiences and teachings. Haven't seen any new video since 2 years. Just came by to say hi and find out if you are doing well.

Larry I hope you are well. Really enjoy your content.

Excellent video and a solid overview of the basics of refractors. A short refractor like the one you just received is one of the best tools to learn the night sky.

Great video for us newbies! With the new Finder TW2 about to release, we shall see how good the AI in the imager is at correcting things like Chromatic aberrations etc. 71 year old retired veteran here with very limited discretionary income. Being able to get the new model coming out as an investor, for about $170 less than its retail price when it goes to full production, made the deal for me. We shall see how it turns out!

Enjoying your videos. Is your Camera modified?

Just to say a thankyou. Your vids got me started in the hobby,back in March this year. Having a great/frustrating time. Spent many,many Euros and gone down "the astrophotography rabbit hole",never to return. 👍

We miss you Larry!

Thanks for the info. It will give my nighttime viewing a sense of purpose.

Nice explanations.

No need to apologize for length - just omit the apology and save a minute! Add some text to the video if there's something really egregious.

Many thanks. For a complete DSLR beginner you've answered all of my questions. Enjoyed listening. Find it very clear and relaxing.

perfect video - very clearly explained especially to a newbie

First time I have ever heard someone put a number to the “astronomer’s curse”.

My sincere congratulations for your productions! I´m also an "old gazer" (63 yo) from a very far away land in the southern hemisphere, speaking a different language (but fortunately very able in English) and with an approach to astronomy almost identical to yours. I made my own 150mm Newtonian on a Dobsonian mount. Not too impressive a size, but it works great and it renders wonderful views since I´m lucky enough to have very clear skies around here (every time I drive 200 km to my father_in_law´s farm). I find your videos long, wordy... soothing and wonderful! And I love those beautiful trees behind your windows along with some squirrel eventually running across the background. your words are very motivating and inspiring, and that, to me, is what makes them so valuable. Don´t change a bit! Thanks a lot!

Man, I don't know what happened to you. I get the feeling this may be the last video I'll watch from you, so I keep saving it, and saving it, hoping to see another one. I think your videos was amazingly, calm, down to earth, and pleasent. Also helpful.. I also think you could have made many videos just abt stargazing memories, hardships, and so on. Those few short moments you talked about was very entertaining and interesting. I as many others would definitelt love to see some more videos from you, if you're well. Don't wanna save this one forever! :) Really Hope your doing well Larry, aka Old Gazer (great name!), but I also do begin to think you're not (or at least you might not be around around. Sure hope I'm wrong!!). See you soon!

I'm just starting out. I've been learning the location of the constellations and planets among other things. The only downside up to this point is the lack of sleep. 😂

I also have star charts and/or my planisphere with me. I've got star apps on my smartphone, but even with their night mode, they can be bright enough to destroy your night vision. First thing I do before I go out and adapt my eyes is turn my phone off or put it on silent and keep it in my pocket. Looking through the telescope and then finding Uncle Bob is calling you for no good reason will wreck your night vision and concentration. If I'm in my back garden then I simply leave it in the house. It's much more useful learning how to read star charts or how to use a planisphere than it is to rely on an app on your phone. Being able to navigate the night sky is a huge plus, and after I taught my kids how to read star charts, they can find their way around now without any help.

I have the same telescope and a Nikon DSLR. The T-ring and adapter are from Celestron. My question. I did not put a lens inside the set up between the camera and the telescope. The image was very small. How do you put a lens in the adapter tube. I have seen other set up with screws the secure a lens. I love you videos.. old geezer gazer there too. Keep up the information !!

Sure miss your video's hope you are well!

Hi Larry, I just discovered your channel. I bought my first telescope. Thank for all the tips and info. Greetings from The Netherlands.

Hi there, really have enjoyed your videos. hope all is well because your not around of late.

Such a beatiful person. Just by listening to him talk with that sincerity and good intentions... Makes me feel a level of peace and joy i cant describe. I wish he could be back on youtube because i found his channel when he already had left yt for family reasons. I wish him the best. His words make me feel at home. ♥️

Is astrophotographer better with a 1.25 adapter or 2 inch one?

Your advice about being patient really hit home! A year ago, I was brand new, and thought a 10 inch Dobsonian could see DSOs in Bortle 7 to 8 skies!! I would look and search and find nothing, sometimes for hours! I was getting discouraged, until I saw your video about being patient, and looking in darker skies! Suddenly, globular clusters I couldn't find, I could locate! Thank you for these videos! They do help!

Thank you for explaining the differences of doublet/triplet and materials used to build telescopes. I was wondering why there was so much difference in price between refractors, now I understand! Clear skies Larry!

I've looked long and hard on RUclips for ISO information .I learned more on one long-winded but informative video from you then I could find in months on RUclips about ISO. you're very thorough .great video.

Luv u 2

Great videos i have watched 4 of them from the 1st tutorial to this one. I started trying astrophotography with just camera lenses and a tripod i got some good pictures with the kit lens and a 300mm lens, but i wanted to get more closer and more detailed pictures of the moon ect. I got a starter telescope just to try out and got the T ring adapter to connect my Cannon EOS 250D to the telescope, I thought i bought just a basicT ring adapter ( just a 1 piece tube ) after watching you 1st tutorial on how to connect your camera to the telescope i took a closer look at my T Ring Adapter that connects my camera to the telescope. I found that it breaks down so i can drop a lens into the T Ring long tube , i can use it without a lens inside , i can take off the long tube and use the shorter tube i found i can use the 2 inch diameter to fit to my telescope or the smaller one i also found that i can use it with just the ring no tubes connected. Mow i can't wait for clear skies to try out and experiment with different lengths of tube or no tube, the smaller diameter or the 2 inch diameter , with our without a lens. I'm not expecting fantasic results as its only a budget telescope ( not spending £1000's just incase its not for me or i'm useless at it. the telescope is a Celestron Starsense Explorere LT 80AZ I think its 80mm focal Length. These Videos sure have helped Thanks.

Great video about practical basic items needed to enjoy astronomy. Thanks for sharing your ideas of which some I had not thought about at this point. Now I have a few things to add to my wish list. Thanks again.

Thanks for the video. PS: squirrel on 9:40 🙂

You don't need permission to have amateur astronomy as a hobby. Get some star maps, a binocular and a cheap telescope and have at it.

Larry, once again you have provided excellent information. I love the Messier catalog link. I bookmarked it. Having had a manual telescope for many years, I must say that buying a goto scope has greatly increased my enjoyment of the night sky. I love that once the scope is aligned, I just enter in the planet, deep space object and the scope automatically finds it. For me, it was a game changer. Thanks again.

are you okay, haven't seen you in a long time . hoping you are in good health

OMG the bird at 4:05 I hope it was ok after that. 😐

Love your videos Larry. Hope you are well!

Thank you Mr OldGazer

my telescope is 800160 eq4 newtonin and dslr nikon 7000d who i focus the moon

exactly one of the things i escape from when doing such things as astronomy.. phones and phone nags and i get to exercise my brain, creative thinking and universal connectedness.. to me scopes like this takes away from the overall whole experience

dont change a thing.. love all the videos thank you

Larry. I've recently taken an interest in Astrophotography and stumbled across your channel while researching "How To" videos regarding using DSLR cameras with telescopes ect. I find your content very informative and straight forward. it's very much appreciated to the point to where I decided to subscribe but noticed that you don't have any new content. have you decided to get out of the hobby all together and/or the RUclips scene? I certainly hope not!! Regards, F5

Thanks

DSLR T adaptor to newtonian telescope

thank you

thank you

These Videos are still Relaxing and worth re-watching them. hope youre fine

Thanks for doing this series. I am transitioning from a Dobsonian to a SCT telescope with a Go-To system. As a techie, I am aware of how quickly AA batteries wear down and degrade the performance of devices powered by them. I am interested in the power device that you introduced in this video. Whatnis the name of it? Thanks.

I just saw the date of the las video... Its from a year ago... I feel helpless, all i have now is a ton of knwoledge from this channel and a devastating soulache... (If thats even a real word... otherwise, now it is, thats how i feel now) I hope Larry is allright at least...

Gotta love this wise man. Such an Elder. Im wondering where are u from. I find funny that pronunciation hehe An aapiece to watch the naah skaah with your naked aahh. I hope i dont offend, im just curious. I love your jokes and wonderful knowledge. I subscribed instantly, Im like binging on your videos whole day. Outstanding content! :)

I wondered if you were familiar with Mr Ting...

No one is more interesting to listen to than a man who is passionate about what he is talking about.
