Love the walkthrough. I have been planning on getting one for a while now and it’s nice to see hands on stuff with the app

From curiosity, what will happen if the slow mak 180 enter the scene ? I say a clip comparing a similar situation where the skywatcher 180 was being close to the standard c9.25 ? Curious to hear your opinion . Cheers dude 👍

Where's the part where you have to attach a garden hose? Ha ha.

Unfortunately it will not let me stitch, it just gave me a general error. "could not stitch any of the iput images, please make sure your images are taken from one location and overlap one another." Obviously they do overlap...

Bedankt Martin! Erg duidelijke video. Goede tip van de video modus!

Die Duitse somer was presies dieselfde 😅

Geweldige video 👍

BEAUTIFUL! I did almost the same thing last week in Kos Greece! Just Camera (90D) and same 14mm lens (beautiful lens!). For the last night where the best picture resulted I didn't use the external shutter since I realigned the stars after every 10 pictures. BECAUSE: Sequator doesn't run on Mac 🥲 thus I stacked with Siril and Siril get's quite confused when distortions vary between different pictures. And that will happen because even for me the earth wasn't willing to stop turning for 15-20 minutes or so 😩🤩 ... next thing I found out: Don't include any lights of the horizon in your picture, just take one for the foreground and paste it underneath at the end. Because Siril get's confused AGAIN! At the end I ended up with a result that I am very happy with. And the most important thing was enjoying the moments trying! It can't get any better then being outside on the beach with the sound of waves and the stars above you! Last problem: This lens covers a huge area of the sky, which is great - but it was almost impossible to get one single series of pictures WITHOUT A PLANE ENTERING LEFT OR RIGHT 😩🫣Thx. for the video!

Hallo Martin, Mooie video met duidelijke uitleg van je werkwijze. Vooral de opname met het hunebed vind ik erg mooi. Ben benieuwd naar de volgende video. groet Paul

Nice video Martin! Ik moet het nog steeds eens proberen de Melkweg vastleggen. Ik heb nèt wel M24 weten vast te leggen met 3 seconden lights en een 135mm lens, maar de Melkweg nog steeds niet gedaan... 🤭

You teased out that milky way rather well!

Very nice Martin I haven't attempted any Milky way shots for a while now I really should do though.

What a nice and proper video.

Thank you for watching! Did you also shoot astrophotography on your holiday? Come find me on Instagram and tag me in your images. instagram.com/astrokoplamp/

Hot spot and newton rings was pretty bad after stacking need to use flat frames and tilt adapter.

Informative and entertaining. I am contemplating these two scopes right now and this was very useful. HD it is.

Thank your for the subtitles. I have a C8 SCT (non HD) with Celestron OAG. It's been a year since this video. Is your AM5 still performing as well with your 9.25" SCT? Now that the AM5N with better PE specifications, <=10", are you planning on upgrading? I'm in the market for a new mount and I've been looking at your CEM40 videos. Other than the slew noise being higher, counterweights and heavier mount weight, is there an astrophotography advantage of the CEM40 over the AM5, AM5N? My understanding is a lot of uses are recommending short guide camera exposures when using harmonic mounts. such as 0.5secs. I cases of light pollution and targets that have few guide stars around them would that be a disadvantage? My current mount, Celestron AVX, if find guiding is best at shorter exposures. 0.5" is often too short as I get lost stars so I've settled with 1 sec exposures, sometimes 1.5 seconds just to get better signal to noise. I also increase the gain on the guide camera (ASI174mm mini). Currently iOptron has a sale going on in the US for the CEM40/GEM45 until the end of October. The price with the mount, LiteRoc tripod, iPolar, GPS, is about the same as the AM5N. Currently in the US AM5N is backordered everywhere. With reported waiting lists it may be until early 2025 when AM5N stocks will be available. Any plans to make the video on interpreting the AM5 PE graphs that come with each unit? Thanks.

One thing I would like to mention, when you make such a tutorial video, is it possible to make it such that the text on the Siril screen is clearer? For example, in my setup, the default Registration method was 1-2-3 Stars Registration, I had to look very hard, for a long time, to learn that you are using Global Star Alignment instead. I would like, for each screen, to confirm that my settings are the same as yours. But this is very difficult because of how fuzzy the text appears to me. Maybe you can change the focus on the camera so that the screen is focused, but your face is fuzzy?

You drag the flats files to the conversion tab. But why? Are these not .fit files? All of my images are taken as .fit files. I don't need to convert file types. I just want to arrange each color in its own sequence. Would I still copy the .fit files to the conversion tab?

thanks good sir , open source teachers and trainers are nymphs and demi gods

Hey, great video! Just so you know, the link to ICE in the description doesn't let me download the program :) however, I got it from another website and I believe it's the same or similar version as the one you used in the video, but the stitching fails and throws an error "Could not stitch together any of the input images. Please make sure your images are taken from one location and overlap one another." Do you have any clue on why would this happen or how to solve it? By the way, all of my images show slight dark circular abberation near the center of my images, so could this thing confuse the ICE?

Precies de info die ik zocht. Bedankt!

2:59 a true statement by Dylan? I wish Euro-observers could easily experience objects like the Milky Way's largest globular Omega Centauri, stunning globular 47-Tucanae (50% larger and 3x brighter than M13) or the Magellanic Clouds. On the other hand...

So the start time was in the ASIAIR or…?

Fun video. PSF Point Spread Function

thank you! I have a question if you don't mind: often when using a composite green channel - some nebula parts which should be blue (strong signal in oxygen) appears to be white. is it how it is supposed to be? or is there any trick to avoid that and get a nice blue color in oxygen areas, instead of white ?

Obviously, this is the best comparison of those telescopes on YT right now

in de achtertuin ? 😎 Die mount is wel heel nice planetwave denk ik ?

lol dutch people never read manuals xD great one

Mooi duidelijke uitleg, en een leuke en handige adaptor

Great video Sir. I thought I read that you could NOT use the .7x reducer with the OAG but see you've done it so that must have been bad information.

Thanks for this and your other videos on the Edge 8 HD, the OAG, the .7 focal reducer and all the accessories that go with it! We have the exact same setup except I have an EQ6 R PRO. I'm headed out to Bortle 1 and 2 skies this weekend with all my gear, so I'm pretty pumped. Thanks again for all your help, Martin! Liked and Subscribed! Aaron.

What's the weight of the counterweights? I've just ordered CEM40 for my C8 😀

Hoi Martin, korte vraag. Wat stel je in voor je focal length van je C8 als je een 6.3 reducer hebt gemonteerd?

Unfortunately it is no longer possible to install the Streetview app. I will have to look for an alternative and remake this video with the new tool. Suggestions are welcome.

Unfortunately it appears Street View as described in this video no longer exists.

The bane of the astronomer's life: rain!

Yeah, astro is hard in NL :/

Good to see you're ok & yes sometimes life or other hobbies can take a higher priority sometimes. Take care & good luck with the concert

5:47 for me there’s no favorite method of collimation-it’s usually a bit of a chore-but am experimenting with a precision artificial star to achieve reasonable collimation. BTW, love the Edge design. Have used a Classic 8 on a wedge since 1988, but am looking at my first goto, an Edge tube on the Evo mount. Awesome video and images-thank you indeed :-)

I have an EHD800. In comparison to my TS 102/f11 SDP APO: if I take a picture from the Moon: EHD is much worse. It looks like a view through fog. No chance to beat the fine APO.

What does the Green channel=((Oiii*Ha)^~(Oiii*Ha))*Ha + ~((Oiii*Ha)^~(Oiii*Ha))*Oiii mean ? I don't understand the expression and what it does. Thanks Martin.

Thank you Martin. I am unsure which star layer you put back. Was this from the HOO stack (starless) ? I did not see this in this video. Otherwise very helpful, I will follow your steps from original video with this video's corrections.

Great video! I also make the sound of the noise of my AsiAir and my mount gets turned on lol! Clear skies!

I have seen two videos and they both had "cameos" of Dylan, can someone explain to me the inside joke? :)

I’m on the “Edge “ to head the results. Just starting to watch this video.

Thank you so much. That course adjustment with the guide camera has been plaguing me, because I relied solely on the helio focuser. I now know, that my next time out will be a success! Here we go with attempt number 5 tomorrow night!

Saludos amigos la astronomia es fascinante yo he estado esperando que mejore el tiempo para hacer tomas bendiciones desde comayagua Honduras
