Been waiting for this video after watching your last. Can't wait for mine to arrive. Great video, and can't wait to see what you will be looking at next.
That 14 is sweeeeet! I took my first astro photos in the late 80s with a 6" Criterion and a Pentax film camera. Boy, things have changed, for the better. I have been out of the hobby for 30 years. Over the last few weeks, I have taken pictures of the moon with a DSLR and a C6. It's great to be back.
Excellent images Ben! So happy that I've found your channel, I'm tempted to start a RUclips channel too. I really like this style of video, it's about the night and the experience of setting up, observing and capturing the images, Russell Discombe used to do videos like this too but he's been quiet for a while now. Great quality editting as well!
Nice video! I had never seen your channel till now and let me tell you, that is exactly how I felt when I first bought my 8" dob coming from a 130mm newt being my largest aperture. I have been thinking that when I move into a larger house I am going to have to get or build myself a big light bucket.
That would be a good move. I made my move in 2010 having a 8in I added a Orion truss tube 14in dob but I never got rid of my 8 and never will. But here in N.E. N.C. the sky conditions are bad from july thru middle of oct. That's why I use my 14in in the winter when things are more stable up above and trust me you will be shocked at the things available to see. With a 32mm thru 41mm eyepiece any one of those would be great but I would keep to the low end low power eyepiece.I currently have a 32mm and a 34mm an they work great. Good luck on your goals wish you the best. Keep looking up dark sky's.
Amazing shots! Especially the ones with the smartphone, I bet it was around 30 seconds exposure was it? I am wondering under that bortle scale sky are you shooting them pics!
It's tough for sure and honestly you have to take risks with the weather. I've had my setup rained on numerous times over the years which is quite stressful!
Thanks Ben. I don't have a telescope anymore (not since I was 10 years old nearly 40 years ago 😬 and it was very cheap one) but I do have some Celestron binoculars where I can see the 4 moons of Jupiter (obviously, no details show for Jupiter itself). I saw Saturn through a large telescope about 7 years ago with its rings - was brilliant. I want to get back into astronomy somewhat. Keep up the great work and your good content.
i saw your video when you unboxxed the beheamoth and was so sad to find out observations were another time. Today i randomly decided to search up (my apperture refractor) vs 8inch dob and wouldnt you know the universe led me to this fantastic video
@@alexandrevaliquette3883 No I ordered the Mirror from Coulter and a kit from somewhere. But it worked just fine. I put it on wheels and rolled it out of a storage building.
Nice video 👍. Have you tried an IR Pass filter? If your camera is responsive in that range, then you might it takes you up another level in combo with your light bucket 😀.
Yep! I have a 685nm IR pass. I've done some high res lunar imaging with it and it is great. I've casually used it with planetary, but really I'm waiting on a night with good seeing to make the best use.
Very Amazing bro🔥, I also have captured : Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune with my 5" Newtonian manually. Without auto trucking & without any motor but results are amazing.
Ben: I hope you are OK. Wow, your 14" Dobsonian is awesome but how do you get that beast outside? Is that what the wheel barrow is for? Your photo of Saturn is great and the other ones as well. Can you see the central star in M57, the Ring Nebula with your 14" telescope? I have not yet been able to see it with my 12" telescope but I have so many objects I want to look at that I often forget to try. Oh, and you got Stephan's Quintet! Nice. Congratulations. Very nice video
Thank you so much from stopping by Tsula! Your recent video is exactly why I decided to go and find Stephan's Quintet - so very faint. NGC 7331 looked fantastic though. I tried to see the central star in M57, but couldn't - although the conditions weren't great and the moon is so very bright at the moment. The wheelbarrow is there to stop the covers blowing off the other stuff, not related to carrying the scope out haha. The scope, I carry it out at the moment, but I do plan on having a platform with wheels sorted for the base as that's HEAVY. It comes apart into a few pieces which doesn't take much time and makes taking it out doable by myself. Thank you once again - love your videos Tsula.
@@bbroastro Well, be careful lifting that heavy telescope. I do give you a pat on the back for your perseverance under the bad conditions in the UK. Keep looking up!
I know right! That thing is huge. A bit too big and heavy for me as you need a step to look through it - the 14" is the perfect size for most people to be honest.
You need that powermate 2.5x1.25. I have a 2inx2 and its great. Wish I had a extra I would send it to you cause I feel your going some wear with your videos. keep up the good work. From the other side of the pond
Thanks Vicki! It's actually my birthday in 4 days time and I may or may not be getting a TeleVue 3x Barlow..! :D I decided that over a powermate for the flexibility of spacers, but also being able to reduce it to a 2x when conditions need less.
Thanks for the inspiration! I bought the 250p synscan a few months back, at a great price. First visual astronomy since I was young. Love it! I just watched the unremarkable 10 percent lunar eclipse. Very fun. I've been unsuccessfully trying to get a ZWO asi178mm to focus😢 The dew is dripping off it. I can relate to damp cool discomfort. I'll get a color planetary camera if I'm convinced I can achieve focus.
Great that you have a 250P - great size and portability. To get focus with the astro cameras, you need to use a 2" extension and a Barlow. I hope this helps!
I successfully focused tonight. It seems to be a tricky balance of not over driving the camera's gain. I used a NDF/MOON filter, and put the large cap on, with the small cap off, to reduce the brightness of the moon and also Saturn. Even so, it looked dull. Maybe because it's monochrome? It's very subtle balance of brightness, contrast, and micro focus adjustment. I noticed if I put too much of the moon in frame, everything disappeared? More experimentation. Several people suggested a Barlow. Any recommendations on a quality one? Much thanks for the help. I'll try your suggestions. I'm using Asistudio. What were you capturing with?
@@mikehardy8247 A Barlow will help a lot as it'll push the focus further out which is generally needed on a newtonian - or a lot of extension tubes. Focus is indeed very slim at higher magnifications, so we're talking a few millimetres movement either way. I would only use a UVIR filter with Saturn. I'm also using SharpCap Pro. Firecapture is another free option :) I just use the standard generic Barlow for now, although I'm planning to replace it. I haven't decided what - but potentially an Explore Scientific 3x or a TeleVue 3x.
@@mikehardy8247 The Skywatcher PDS focuser is decent enough for 90% of people. It'll be a direct swap in and out on your setup, so it could be worth it. I use a Baader Steeltrack diamond focuser on my deep sky setup which is amazing, but that's an invasive install as you have to drill new holes in the tube.
Bleh. You’re out there drowning in cloudy days while I’m over here risking my life every morning on my way to work with how bright and low the sun is. Excellent video all around!

Interesting. But i think you definitely need a planetary camera. I use a 5" Maksutov, and a 224MC, and I'm getting similar results. I've even got a couple of old 1034MC camera with small 6mm chips. Having such a tiny chip gives me a native 250x in my 1500mm f/l scope. Edit: Sorry if this comment appears twice. YT is not accepting 1st time a lot nowadays it seems.
It's not necessarily the camera, but rather the seeing conditions being bad. While larger aperture telescopes have the ability to resolve more detail than a smaller scope, they need better conditions to do so. Lower magnification under poor seeing will yield similar if not better results. The results in this video are definitely not indicative of what this telescope and camera can achieve under good conditions. When it comes to imaging, the rough guide to go by is pixel size x 5 = F ratio you want to aim for with your scope. Adding whatever Barlow and spacing you need to get there will give you optimum sampling. A tiny sensor will always have the trade off of either tiny pixels or low resolution, which can be a drawback or benefit depending on your telescope. You just have to pick a camera based on your optics All that said, I have a IMX585 coming today - so we shall see.
@@bbroastro Well I'm surround by houses and shops. I never get good seeing, or good transparency. Experience may be a factor too here. I've been doing this since 2010. Since you're new at it compared to me, it may just be a practice thing as well.
Unfortunately, this time the atmosphere did not allow even half of the 14-inch resolution to be realized. this raises a serious question about the expediency of such apertures if the atmosphere constantly prevents them from revealing their capabilities. for example, I stopped at 10 inches.
Yeah sky conditions definitely need to play ball. Since filming this I've had much better conditions and better results thankfully and you really do see the difference.
You may try putting an usb electronic microscope where the objective goes... you will get an amazing magnification.. I dont know why astronomers do not mix telescipea and microscopes to gain magnification
@@lajoswinkler dude.. I dit it with a $100 refractor, a chinese electronic microscope instead of an objective and obtained much more magnification that a regular setup
I'm afraid "huge" and "14" telescope" don't belong in the same sentence. Just take a trip to my local star party of the St Petersburg Astronomy Club (forget about the national Winter Star Party) and your 14" telescope will be surrounded by over a dozen larger scopes. Actually, 14" is entry level for serious deep sky observing. The 14" does have a significant advantage over larger scopes though. Chances are you can use your scope while keeping your feet solidly on the ground at all times. Larger scopes require ladders or steps when looking close to the zenith. It's the reason I chose my not so huge 13.1" dobsonian.
I don't want to sound like a party pooper, but those final images are nothing like a telescope used in the video is capable of providing. Not even Cassini's gap is visible, and 14'' telecope will show even Encke's gap. Something was very wrong in the whole imaging process. Perhaps extremely bad atmospheric turbulence.
His seeing conditions were awful, he'll get lucky eventually and get some good conditions if he keeps at it. They don't call it lucky imaging for nothing.
'I don't want to sound like a party pooper' Proceeds to sound like a party pooper 😂 I hear you though. The UK is notorious for extremely bad seeing conditions quite literally 99% of the year. In this video the conditions were extremely poor, such is life when imaging from the UK. I'm primarily a deep sky imager for a reason! I didn't plan to wait potentially a year to get good enough seeing conditions to produce a video, I was way too excited to get going with this thing. I still carry on imaging each clear night in hope I'll get better photos. Of which, I have a much better image already! I know it can produce way better results than seen here and I don't want people to think this is what it's only capable of.
@@chrisruthford4492 Yeah the seeing looks better in this video than it was in reality, because the live capture footage was played back in slow motion. The seeing was like looking through shimmering water during an earthquake and the transparency was pretty mediocre too. Lucky imaging is indeed lucky that's for sure ha ha. I'll revisit this video in 2028 when I've had 5 nights of good seeing ;)
Have you tried viewing the moon and planets with binoviewers? I find that using both eyes, the 3D effect helps to bring out the detail in the object. The moon in particular looks amazing though binoviewers. Happy gazing.
I would love to, but I have a cataract in my right eye which takes away some 3D depth perception :( I cannot use my right eye to do any viewing or use a finder scope.
i thought i was watching a 200,000 subscriber channel and was shocked when i saw you only had 320. i’m sure you’ll be huge soon👏
