That 'black gear on the right' inside your iOptron is the optical encoder disc that allows the motor to regulate its speed. The slots on that disc pass through a light source and a light detector to generate pulses to the mount electronics so it can monitor how fast it's moving, so it can regulate its speed.
Another great video. I just wanted to share my solution for all-night power to my camera, which I almost always use with no source of AC power nearby. A large power pack is out of my reach financially, so I bought a Neewer battery grip for Canon EOS 70D, which screws underneath the camera with a socket that goes straight into the battery slot. The grip itself comes with 2 removable slides that contain the batteries. One slide has slots for 2 of my camera batteries, and the other has slots for 6AA batteries. I use rechargeable AAs and they work flawlessly. As soon as the batteries run low, you just swap slides and carry on.
Great video, Walt - it’s an awesome section of the Milky Way and a beautiful image. I can’t imagine how much work goes into making your videos, so thank you for the dedication. 👍
Yeah I could just make talking head videos and could probably pump out material a lot faster, but I like putting in the extra work. Makes the final video a lot more fun.
Amazing job! I had no idea that even existed in the winter!
Digging the Andromeda Galaxy in the shot🔥
Right! That was a lovely surprise!
For milkyway shots i now use my Pentax OGPS-2. I put it on the hotshoe, use my sirui light tripod and shoot with 10mm at 2 min. easy as that. Just a single divice of 2 inch on the hotshoe and ready to shoot. It only works to 200mm above that i altways use mij star adventurer
Amazing picture as always. Really puts you in your place!
❤❤❤
Nicely done and good point about the MW during the winter months. FYI, I also had my tracker freeze up and simply did a the calibration and self test.
Great video Walt looking forward to seeing you editing this image
Great tutorial and the final photo aswell mate! thank you
Man your videos are amazing I love how you present them, just started watching a couple months ago, you deserve a lot more subscribers!
Thanks! Let's hope to get to 50,000 subs this year! Woo hoo!
Entertaining as usual, Walt!
final picture literally blown me awayyy!!!!!!!!1
Great job Walt!
Good luck with the patreon! I think I was the 8th or 9th... You and Nico from Nebulaphotos are my two favorite astro-youtubers.
I discovered Nico after I made my channel. Such a great teacher!
Wonderful job as always. Great end result. Would love to see a video on your processing on this image.
I have to finish a review on a filter, then I'll start working on more processing tutorials. It looks to be a nasty winter so there will probably be a lot of processing.
Maybe you can do this again and get the comet!
Awesome photo!
Great picture, I love it!!! Which focal length did you end up using on the zoom lens?
24mm!
Wouldn't using the arrows buttons to rotate the tracker forward and reverse free up the atrophy from it sitting?
I thought for sure it was in the fridge 😃
Me too! But that's where I keep all my telescopes.
Great video. Wonder why you are using Sequator instead of DeepSky Stacker? Does Sequator give you something that DeepSky doesn't?
Speed and simplicity. That's it. I use it for Milky Way photos or when I'm teaching in a beginner friendly video. These days I mostly stack in Pixinsight.
Since you have pixinsight wouldnt stacking on that give a better result? sequator is really bad at widefield images
Yes! I just tried to make this video a little more beginner friendly. But I prefer to use WBPP with drizzle on images like this.
@@deltaastrophotography ah I see, same! WBPP is the way to go
Hii i have one doubt i dont have star tracker i live in bortle 6 zone i want to photograph orion nebula can i take 30 minutes exposure every day for 6 days to collect 3 hours of worth data on same camera settings for everyday to collect same data everday and takes dark frames and other frames and can i stack this data pls reply i have this doubt from long time can i try this
Yes you can stack multiple days. In Deep Sky Stacker you use groups. You can see them at the bottom of the screen. Each group can be a separate day. Every time you add images to a group, a new group gets created so you can stack unlimited days.
@@deltaastrophotography thank you love your content great video
What portable battery do you use?
Yetti Goal Zero 400
Thank you!
Early Squad 😊

lol DSLR. does anyone still make those relics?
Oh yeah! They are so much cheaper than mirrorless cameras on ebay. And there are a ton of second hand lenses out there for them. And I would never ask somebody to modify a new very expensive mirrorless camera.
