    I've never took a photo of the sky and I'm not going to but I still watched the entire video and I really liked it.
  • A pretty neat trick you could add to the DIY kit: if you have any earphones that have a volume button, many phones will allow you to set the volume button as a shutter. You can plug in the earphones and press the volume button on it so you don't shake the phone or have to set a timer.

    As a long time Astrophotographer with a backyard observatory, it is great to see such an interest in the subject over such a large group.
  • @JamesBoot
    never even considered this as a hobby, but I have always wanted to try using just a telescope to view the night sky - regardless of this I found it really fascinating!
  • @TheBardo24
    The fact that even smartphones now can get results like that is purely insane! Love the editing and the effort you put into this Nico keep it up!
  • @rylok
    Can I just say the photos of the kit, with colored price breakdowns - is probably the single most helpful thing for newbies like me, it answers a LOT of questions all at once. Thanks!
  • @chucknovak
    Just ordered an equatorial mount, RA motor, and a 300mm f/4 telescope to get some cool shots. Thanks for the help with being able to understand how to capture and process the night sky. Seriously, you have been a tremendous help for getting me into the hobby. I’m excited to up my game.
  • @zlaxdude1
    Thank you so much for doing 5 and not just 3 items. Especially coving the 1000-2000 jump not just orders of magnitude like $100; $1,000; and $10,000!
  • @jwilliams1454
    Wow! I wish I had seen this two years ago. At 35 minutes you say the video is long but it could save months of research and comparison shopping. Not to mention years of making mistakes. Thank you! This was super helpful. And good to know you are just outside of Boston so I can know what to expect.
  • @CathrinMachinArt
    Absolutely amazing video Nico. Love how you highlighted the kit in different colours when you were breaking it all down :)
  • @kouga89
    Thanks for this video! Definitely useful for amateurs who are weighing out their options to go further into this hobby. Very thoughtful to have added in the weight in metric system as well!
  • @CQR_Smokey
    Great video, I'm a motorsport photographer but have always loved looking at the night sky. After watching a few of your videos I've just ordered the Star Adventurer 2i and can't wait to get started!
  • @raypace6981
    One of your best videos so far!! Really enjoyed it. It demonstrates how one can start getting involved into astrophotography without spending a lot and still get good results. Thanks
  • @CassidyHansen
    It's mind blowing to see all these little points of light we see every night in this way. And it's amazing what you're able to do with the technology. I don't see myself getting fully into telescope astro but I've learned a lot and appreciate it!
  • @johnotoole9384
    Great video Nico!! I’m from keeping it simple to getting serious and learning all the time!
  • I literally laughed out loud at the weight comparison. My “Lifer” is about 200+ lbs, not including the weight of the SkyShed POD. I really liked this video and have saved it to share with new astronomers who want a sense of size, cost etc. I’ve subscribed to your channel now. Great content.
  • @luboinchina3013
    Great video with accurate advice. The cable thing is a holy grail of troubleshooting, I would just also advice that often it is also the power source that goes wrong...
  • @JR-ow2mf
    Great content, Nico! Sent this to a photographer friend that is interested in moving to astrophotography. This was a great way to introduce him to the tech in a short period. Thanks for all your work!
  • @timetoerist1313
    Thank you for this video! I bought nearly all the 1500$ kit items .Not just because of your video. I spend a lot of time researching and now know why you chose those items. Already got great results!
  • @davethebrave.
    the amazing effects about filming the stairs is already pure amazing.
