Join me as we capture and process Mars as it races towards opposition in October 2020.

  • Dude, first one of your videos I’ve seen. I like your demeanor - just relaxed, informative, overall just cool and down to earth. Enjoyed it and sub’d! I am brand new to this, haven’t bought so much as a single piece of equipment yet, just doing a ton of research. Scopes, eyepieces (really like the televue, from everything I’ve read), cameras and other accessories, etc. Looking forward to settling into everything. Gonna go check out some of your other videos! 👍 Have a good one.
  • I’m grateful that you approach your hobby with appreciation. Good astronomy practiced here!

    Thanks, great job. I'm new and all Mac. Will Be figuring this all out. Loved the vibe of you and the video.
  • @cosmegy176
    and then stack the photos!! what an amazing tutorial.
  • Cool video man, I’ve got that same phone holder and it’s awesome.

    Thanks! I just started to become really interested in astro photography and want to try a lot of different ways of doing it, this one was great and did not need a lot (except the high powered telescope then) 😅👍 I have a Celestron CPC 800 I will try in on. I will follow you to see more 👌🙏

    Awesome video. I have not thought of making a video vs pictures
  • @roamingrino
    Dude you got the ice caps with a cell phone. Awesome
  • Very nice and helpful video. I was just getting started with taking pictures with my smartphone and it really was too bright
  • Thank you very much for posting your presentation. I just emailed your link to my sister that ask me about using a smartphone for astrophotography.
  • Most beautiful thoughts at the end ✨ I think I might just have decided to get a telescope 😄👍
  • @natem7440
    inspiring for anyone wanting to get into imaging. What mount are you using for your C11 ?

    I have one of those grips for my phone, it's been a godsend.
  • Hey man, after years of dreaming about it and generally obsessing over the universe in general (loving the yt channel called SEA btw, check it), I finally got my first telescope - nothing fancy, a Bresser makutsov 100/1400, probably not even a good choice for my budget, haha, but whatever, I freaking bought it and didn't spend that money on stupid sh*t. Anyway, just wanted to say I appreciated the video, especially since the phone adapter that came with the telescope was laughable, so I went and bought a better one, but still - on this first clear night in like a month (Murphy's law for the weather to just be overcast every single night where I live since I bought it, haha) I realised I'm either doing something super wrong, or the adapter is still pretty damn sh*t. Saw your vid and got confirmation on both, but especially on that I need to get a good adapter. Also to finish this novel, I think it's super cool what you said about appreciating what you can see - I got to see some blurry craters on the moon through a window from my light-polluted city apartment and I literally yelled how cool it is to be able to see actual shadows and texture, haha - at least now my cat knows that it's sure as sh*t super cool and my neighbors probably suspect the same thing. Anyway, I hope you're doing great and apologies for the TED talk, lol, just, you know, gotta share good vibes when they're sincere n all that. Be well!

    Hi thank you for sharing amazing images, I need some help im very new to this i keep trying to image Jupiter and Saturn with my smart phone also through my 200p dobsonian but all I get is overly bright video footage i mean i can see the planet but way to much light glare is this were a filter would do the trick or am I missing something? My eye pieces are the one's that came with the scope
