Small Suggestion: Try using PIPP to align ur video frames, it is very simple and does most of the heavy lifting while still giving u the option to align the frames should you choose to. It works on prestored algorithms that work differently for planetary and deep sky objects and gives you the most optimised result. Looking forward to seeing more of dob astrophotography videos
I'm late to the party, but really happy I came across your site. I had to search the classifieds for weeks, but I finally found the 8" Dob I've been looking for. I got a SkyWatcher Flextube 200p and I love it. I've already seen some amazing views of M42 and M45. I can't wait to see Jupiter and Saturn this summer. Now, I'm searching for a DSLR... Keep up the great work, man!
Just came across your channel. I currently use an 8" SCT and a 6" Newtonian on a CG5 mount, but have been saving up for a 12" dobsonian to use while taking images. Thanks for sharing how you got the images with the dobsonian.
Great video, I thought pic of Jupiter turned out great, considering telescope setup you're using. A lot of people say it can't be done with a Dobsonian, you proved them wrong. Congrats...
Hia mate, only just found your channel, I live in the UK, I've just bought one of those skywatcher dobs the same as yours it's my first telescope, I tried looking at the full moon tonight and it was very bright, do you know what filters I need. Thanks mate, Kevin.
Jupiters rotation is so fast that your video duration needs limiting. You’ll get sharper results from one video of between 30fps and 60fps depending on sky conditions. It’s a hard target despite its large size and high magnitude. Good show on your attempt. Was a fun video to watch. Clear skies.
Thanks for the feedback! I was wondering about that while shooting these videos because I know Jupiter’s rotation is so fast. The more I’m shooting these planets, the quicker in realizing my cameras are holding me back heh. Why is this hobby so expensive 🙄
Thank you so much! Heh and some of the music off here is out of the RUclips creator library, and some of it is chillhop essentials on bandcamp.com! I believe in this video I used a couple of tracks off the chillhop essentials fall 2019 mix.
Try using PIPP, planetary image pre processor. It's free and can crop and align well over 10k frames with no problems at all. You can then (probably) stack as you're used to. But try registax or (better) autostakkert which are also free and have similar functionality to the program you use already. It's what i use and have gotten good results with just my 4 inch mak
What could I use as like a webcam on the eyepiece, I don't need to take any real quality pictures I just want a way to transfer what I would see looking through the eyepiece to a computer screen
Through the eyepieces it’ll certainly be a bit brighter, which may wash out a bit of the detail. With my camera here, I turned down the exposure to bring out a bit more color. Different eyepieces will yield different results though, and so far I only have experience with the two basic eyepieces that came with the scope.
@@AmateurAstronomyStormchasing I have the same scope, assembled with the help of your video back in the summer. I upgraded to a BST Starguider 8mm which was a huge improvement over the 10mm that came with the scope. The bands and the Great Red Spot were quite distinct. I've bought a 5mm of the same type recently. It works well on the Moon, but I'm waiting to test it on Jupiter, Saturn and Mars when they come back in the summer. Thanks for your videos, I really enjoy them and they have been of great help to me. Clear skies!
This specific telescope doesnt have auto pilot for planents and stars right.? I mean if you dont know the sky and where are the objects you want to look..Its showing where the objects are on sky? Thank you..
Thanks for sharing. I had the opportunity to view a rocket launch in 2018. Unbelievable experience. I posted a pretty cool montage of the trip to my page.
i have a pair of Nikon 20x50 zoom binocs that show Jupiter (with equatorial banding), along with six of its moons *(that's right 6)* much better than what this 8" scope is showing.
Love your videos man!, Big up from Dublin Ireland

oh wow! super amazing
Heh thankssss!
Loving these videos!
Very good. Thinking about getting this scope so thank you for the detail.
It’s hard to go wrong with an 8” dob! Astrobackyard has a great video going over just that!
The quality is there, just found out your channel and I love it !
You do amazing job!

New favorite channel 👍
Thank you so much! Heh I’ll try not to disappoint 🙏
I just bought a 8" Dobsonian and I am really excited. I have a refractor 60mm/ 910mm and should see a difference.

Final image came out pretty nice
I found this channel via your channel :)
Heh it's alright, a little overcooked. I was starting to go crosseyed by the end of it! It's a start though. Thanks for your recent tutorials!
@@SPACETVnet I love your channel
Now I've decided, I'm gonna go for an 8" dobsonian. This is my first telescope
It's a KILLER first scope. Super easy to use! Big for sure, but still very portable. Good luck with it and clear skies!
Fantastic job again 👍🏻 I really hope you do a tutorial on the software once you master it 👏👏👏
Thank you! I’m gonna play around with some of the other videos I have to try and master the work flow. Keep a lookout!
Where can I find that equipment to attach my camera to my telescope
Great video, I thought pic of Jupiter turned out great, considering telescope setup you're using. A lot of people say it can't be done with a Dobsonian, you proved them wrong. Congrats...
Thank you!! Heh it’s definitely possible with this setup... just cumbersome.

The production value in your videos is awesome, do you work in media?

Where to buy that tool?
Can you link me the image processing software? I can't find it!
what is the link for the software or the name of the software
What is a Barlow lens, it it just another type of eyepiece??
Its amplify the eyepiece magnification
Great job, that looks amazing! Thanks for the info, I enjoyed it! Btw - you play the best music in your videos!! What music is playing in this?
Thank you so much! Heh and some of the music off here is out of the RUclips creator library, and some of it is chillhop essentials on bandcamp.com! I believe in this video I used a couple of tracks off the chillhop essentials fall 2019 mix.

That is the Clear Outside app. Free on both iOS and Android!

What camera are you using? What been the best for the dobson?
Do i need a special camera to see better details? Or can i see this with my eye through the eyepiece?
Through the eyepieces it’ll certainly be a bit brighter, which may wash out a bit of the detail. With my camera here, I turned down the exposure to bring out a bit more color.
Different eyepieces will yield different results though, and so far I only have experience with the two basic eyepieces that came with the scope.

Are the visuals better than the raw video? Like can you see more detail with your eye than the camera?
Oh yeah, the visuals are much clearer/brighter than what is coming through the camera.
does anyone know what app he's using in the beginning??
What's the program used to edit? I tried searching for what you said, but I can't find it
Lynkeos is the stacking/editing software.
@@AmateurAstronomyStormchasing Thanks so much! No wonder I couldn't find it.
This specific telescope doesnt have auto pilot for planents and stars right.? I mean if you dont know the sky and where are the objects you want to look..Its showing where the objects are on sky? Thank you..
No it doesn't
How do you spell the name of the software?
Lynkeos is the software I used to stack these images.
What is the app you're using at the beginning to predict atmospheric conditions?
also like to know
loving the prices on 8" & 10" scopes right now..
It really is a hard deal to pass up!
What are the prices? 🤔
@@RickyManner about $400-$550 for an 8 inch, depending on which extra features and accessories you want with it.
here we say poco poco - means little by little -- you are definitely not going poco poco - you are learning in leaps and bounds - nice job !
Thank you Doug!! Heh every little step forward is something new and exciting. Such a fun hobby to push one’s self!
@?#29th like ☺🔭
Appreciate ya as always buddy!
@@AmateurAstronomyStormchasing no problem ☺
Why you don’t took many pictures of the jupiter? The quality is better when you take many single shots and you can crop the image better.
What weather/seeing app are you using? Thanks.
Clear Outside is the app name. It’s free on both iOS and Android!
Thanks for sharing. I had the opportunity to view a rocket launch in 2018. Unbelievable experience. I posted a pretty cool montage of the trip to my page.
the 3x barlow ruined a bit the image, like your vids btw
Try astro surface....
Is it just me or does his dog look exactly like Iggy from JJBA
nikon p1000
Decrease the exposure and we lose the moons and get the cloud bands... Increase the exposure and we get the moons but lose the details...🙄
It’s a shame really... 🙃
i have a pair of Nikon 20x50 zoom binocs that show Jupiter (with equatorial banding), along with six of its moons *(that's right 6)* much better than what this 8" scope is showing.
