Very inspiring video, especially for folks just starting out or trying to improve their astrophotography . I have had all this issues you had before and when everything worked out fine I was inspired to continue further. I now have a 8 inch Meade SCT and a new 102 Triplet with a good astro cam, and guide cam and more. Hoping for the best when I get out with the scope in the next few days.
Nice one :) I really enjoyed this journey. The ending question was interesting about woman / men in physics/astronomy. Happy to hear from a woman's perspective that the language is more inclusive. +100 good news.
Many of the new LED lamps are selectable from 3000, 4000, 5000 k. I started by using an unguided mount and would track wide field by turning the Knobs while using a a cross hair eyepiece to keep a guidestar in the crosshairs. So glad I have a EQ6RPRO now. Good job Molly.
Questions/comments came in on the Astro Imaging Channel website chat rather than here, so sorry these were missed! @Farzad Khosrownia: - I do not usually re-orient my images, with the exception of lunar images. There's no up or down in space anyway :P And in order to keep them square, I"d have to cut off quite a bit, which I don't want to do. - Supernovae appear suddenly, but remember we're on a 35-million-lightyear delay. That supernovae in M66 happened over that short of period of time, but 35 million years ago, and its light is just now reaching us. @Craig Wells: Yes sorry I forgot to mention that I upgraded to a Nikon D5300 in September 2016 because it can be computer-controlled, unlike the D3100 (mostly). It's not much fancier than the D3100 besides that though, still in the entry-level tier. The D3100 did me well, but you can't take longer than 30-second images on it unless you use a remote shutter and time the exposures yourself, which I have done and it is a real pain!! @David Fielder - I stack in DeepSkyStacker and post-process in Photoshop. Check out my blog tutorials for more details: astronomollylog.blogspot.com Thank you everyone!
I'm making every mistake possible, nothing expensive yet, only time... but it's so encouraging to listen to Molly experiencing the same things I'm now seeing/doing (albeit, Molly is way ahead of me, way ahead).
This was great, that's what passion, study, and will can make. you seem to be a lovely, smart and passionate person keep the good job. We saw the cat tail, i bet that ball of fur is on to nightscapes too.
Molly, Do you think your uncle would consider adopting me as a nephew? You have certainly paid your dues. And, you deserved the recognition for your Astronomical League entry. I hope other amateurs will take your recommendations to maintain a log to heart and to retain their data. Well done and thank you for sharing your journey.
great presentation molly you have been very luckie with the acquisition of the gear you need for the hobby and having access to an observatory..(very jealous lol).. you are doing great hope to see you on the channel many times with the fruits of your efforts ... love to hear more of your experiences and triumphs and disappointments in the future well done cheers james D
Molly should give PRISM software a try before diving into PixInsight. They offer an 80 day trial and the image processing is amazing. Plus the tech support is second to none.
Hi everybody thanks for this magnific video.i've loved this very much.but sorry in the 32m59s to 33m19s for the time of the video ,it's not M20 trifid & M8 lagoon Nebula,but it's planet Jupiter.thanks.

I really enjoyed this lady's lecture. It gives me encouragement to continue with this rewarding hobby.

This is really a lesson in perseverance. I have been in AP for little over a year now. I really enjoy the journey.
