Thank you for such an enjoyable video. After years of observing grey smudges with visual astronomy, the colour and detail of swapping the eyepiece for a camera, on my setup, mirrored your comments. Thank you for sharing your observation session. I look forward to your next EAA session with your SCT.
Totally agree. It was watching Lawrence livestack while we both observed the Veil at the Kelling star party last year that set me on this path ruclips.net/video/adJu-eYPwPs/видео.html. I was avoiding any stray light, straining my eyes to sketch the grey smudges. He was sitting there with his feet up, with a glass of wine, seeing all the colours and details. Amazing!
Nice video Mark, seems you’re really happy with live stacking with sharp cap. A couple of other people I know have been playing around with it as well. Your enthusiasm suggests I should give it a go.
Thoroughly recommended Terri. It's the best eyepiece I have ever bought! Honestly, the views through the little refractor are reminiscent of using Jim's big dobs from a dark site.
Hey Mark, I tried to catch the camera you’re using, the Saturn M maybe? Can you confirm? I was thinking about the same camera for full disk solar imaging and to get a better FOV with a Quark. It would be my first player one camera. Do you recommend it?
Hey Mark. Thank you so much for making and uploading these videos, they are a joy to watch and extremely informative. I look forward to your video about your C11 as I have one, too, and am hoping to do EAA with later this year using Sharp Cap Live Stacking. Clear skies to you.
Thank you for your kind words. Glad you like them! I can thoroughly recommended live stacking it has completely changed the way I observe. I’d suggest a 0.66 focal reducer to give a slightly-less narrow field of view.
Very nice video. It is always nice to capture the Liveview and see beautiful pictures of the universe appear on our screens. I think you have a little problem with tilt. The stars to the right look somewhat elongated. I really enjoy these Liveview images. A big hug.
You can almost say... Witnessing.... Universal.... Reincarnation *. Very nice content....too..... Relocation complete to stage one here..... And goodness me, some excellent..... warm and clear sky..... Evenings *
@@RefreshingViews Hello. Mark thank you for your thoughts, some times after torrential rain the best seeing comes forth, still much to do.... But at least the basics are now in place, Enjoying your podcasts..... Clear skies.... Mark*
Wow Mark, That really opens up a whole new window on backyard Astronomy! Do you think the technique would also work on a scope in AZ mode such as your AZEQ6? I think I will follow your example and get Sharpcap Pro. Well Done and thanks!
You will love it, Barry. I’m thinking it’s the best eyepiece I have ever bought! The image will rotate over the 10-20 minutes but not by much so it should work.
Yeah, my friend Lawrence loves his ASI Air ruclips.net/video/qrCrszV0R2A/видео.html. The only problem is that you are tied into ZWO products (which isn't necessarily a bad thing!).
Hello; I have been following you for a while in planetary astrophotography. I want to use the Sharpap to take my first steps in deep sky astrophotography without wanting to get into it in depth. Do you think it is worth buying the Sharpap pro to get better results? Regards
@@RefreshingViewsThanks for your reply. But without the pro version can you stack images that can then be processed with Regixtas for example to remove noise and do color balance? With the free version can you stack live and stack using the stars for alignment? I have a 16" F4.5 with azimuth goto moved with the ESP32go picgoto on which I want to mount a 120mm F5 refractor. My intention is to use the player one Uranus C camera for deep sky and planetary. Let me know if it would be worth paying the 14 pound license. Regards and thanks for your help. J.Tapioles

Hi mark the way you have put the video together is fantastic it tells a nice story brilliant stuff mate 👏
Thanks AstroQ.
Brilliant video Mark thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it Tony, thank you.

Thanks Jesus - ah, that may be from when I tilted the camera for solar imaging. I will go back and check. Un abrazo!

Glad relocation is proceeding well, John. Hope you’ve dried out after yesterdays weather.

Great video, the super nova in the pinwheel has really dimmed, I took it a few weeks after it was announced, love the details you were getting.
Thanks, Bill. It will be interesting to watch it fade away over the coming months.
Fabuloso amigo ver la explosión d una supernova en otra galaxia es espectacular
Si - tienes razon. No puedo creer que vemos ver estos fenomenos desde mi jardin!
If you click on the little red icon next to Target Name, it will annotate those tiny galaxies for you, if you ran a plate-solve.
Fantastic - thanks for that. I was cross referencing to Sky Safari and my Interstellarum atlas but that will save a step.
Love your videos it makes me feel like I, 'm there with you!
Love that Steve. Hope you’re well and drying out after yesterdays weather!
@@RefreshingViews Lol been a bit wet here in the shire but tonight the seeing has been amazing!

Very nice video, thanks for sharing! Do you guide at all? Or are the 30s exposure short enough to avoid guiding?
Thank you! No guiding - as you say short exposures avoid the need for it.
Great shots Mark, no satellite trails in any pictures?
Oh there were plenty but you can stack with sigma-something and that looks across the stack and removes one-off satellite trails.
You should try an ASI AIR plus mark, once you’ve tried it they’ll be no going back

You do get more with the Pro version eg livestacking and polar alignment. You can check out the extra features on their website to help your decision.
