What is the brand of your guiding scope? I get excited when I see a grab-and-go system like this!

Just curious, if you focus first and then put in the filter, would that change your focus?

My Dob is the Orion 10" with push-to system. It works well once you figure it out and pick up a few tips. It comes apart within seconds and each piece is about 35 pounds, so it is manageable by one person. "Commitment" is a good word for anything bigger.

I have a canon 60d and a Vortex Viper 20-60 X85 spotting scope, and a Novagrade adapter. I would like to take great shots of the moon and anything else I can see, but can't seem to get the right camera settings. My aperture show F0.0. I was told that means no lens. How do I tell my camera I'm using a spotting scope and will focus the scope instead of a lens?

One mystery to me...why the ASI120MM mini is almost always slid nearly out to achieve focus. Its like the guide scopes are a mis-match. I've used the mini on several guide scopes and they all act the same.

Hi Trevor; have you ever done a breakdown of the gear you use in this video??

I wonder why people mostly observed galaxies nd planets at the morning time..,?? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Nice dome... I can dream of having something like that eventually. BTW at 4:47, your poor wife is outside and you are in the cozy dome LOL. Well better be cozy when you are told to sleep in the dog house LOL.

Your processing skills are next level. Even with so much vignetting in each sample exposure you showed. you must be getting your flats spot on. Kudos.

Simply superb 👌🏻

Cracking piece Trevor. Really enjoyed this. I noticed that you put two separate power leads into your rig. One into ASIAIR and one into the AM3. Can I ask if you think this is a better option of power distribution. I’m using the AM5 and ASIAIR combo and although I’ve only had one run out so far, my recollection is that I plugged the mount into mains power supply, and the ASIAIR was powered using a cable that ran from the mount. Kind of a short cable supplying power between the AM5 and ASIAIR. I’m wondering if it’s much the same from an equipment performance point of view or if in your experience having to different sources is a better option 👍☘️🇨🇦

Great image and video Trevor. Your creativity and video processing keep getting better and better.

Is there a solution to avoid to break the diagonal, the eyepiece or the phone if the ota is near the zenith ? Problem is the same with the star sense align because you do not contrôle the ota Is it necessary to remove the diagonal ? I ask because I bought a best and larger diagonal and screw the ota at his extremity is not enough

Wow, amazing image. You really inspired me to get into this hobby. Thanks for all your great work.

Thanks for sharing such inspiring hands-on astrophotography field trips. Getting to think serious about this hobby now. You posting list of equipments is very helpful.

For diamonds Labgrownor natural anything you want Yes we r from India

The Astrophoto is at par with Nasa.

Do you ever see UFO’S???

I shot that just the other night.

Great but I need to see the planets also

This is a lie the app you don’t need, get a dobsonian with a intelliscope yall like 600 most used

Thank you Trevor. You really captured why a lot of us got into this hobby. Not as flashy as produuction , but still high quality .. One of my favorites of yours!

Imagine the first guy who ever saw saturn and its rings. Its just so unreal.

I tried Rho from southern Ohio (John Glenn Astronomy Park) multiple times and its still too low on the horizon for it to be worth it with my color camera without getting dozens of hours. I won't try it again until I get somewhere farther south, higher elevation, and true dark skies. I don't know why people so much father north go for it or how they pull it off as well as you did with such a limited total exposure time. That and the turbulence in the atmosphere always hindered my images making everything flicker so much it was no longer very sharp. Though I wouldn't say it gets all that dark in a Bortle 3 or 4, there is still more than enough light pollution bouncing around to not need to use headlamps to get around at the local astro park on the border of a 3 and 4.

Crazy picture! Love your work men

When I use my ASIAIR mini I use it's 12v power output port to power my AM3. Why did you choose to power your AM3 independently instead of through the ASIAIR 12v output? The volts and amps are in spec and if the ASIAIR dies you've lost your imagine session either way.

What is the last background music name?

I call bs . those pics are not from those scopes. exposure time ? false color imaging too .

Please join messier marathon

Light pollution is really heartbreaking. That wasteful, ugly glow over cities and their rapidly spreading dome of light is a miserable replacement for awesome bright star nights. Here in northeast Nevada we are blessed with Bortle 3-4 backyards, and Bortle 2 and Bortle 1 within thirty minute, and one hour drive times, respectively. Those really dark skies are shockingly beautiful and disorienting. There are so many brights stars, you have to take a few minutes to trace out constellations and get re-oriented. Just sitting in a camp chair gazing at the sky is like an altered state of consciousness (without the drugs ;). If you get a chance, the Oregon Star Party is an amazing event.

Image came out really nice. I have this target on my list but nights are super short and I would have to go somewhere with really nice south view. No chance to see this from my backyard. May I just ask why did you use ASI 2400MC PRO? I'd really love this camera with my C9.25 because of big pixels. But with my/your RedCat 51 that leads to significant under-sampling which for me is quite an issue even with 533MC pro on RedCat.

What tripod is that?

Hi I’m a 18 yr old looking at getting into astrology, I’ve been looking for a good telescope to start me off what would you recommend?

Hey a tip for those assembled astro rigs- I like to use plastic tubs like you get at Walmart. My favorites are the clear ones with colored lid that have handles molded into the tub and lid. I usually get a few pieces of open cell foam in the sewing section to pad the bottom. (My HEQ5 mount fits nicely in one that is rugged enough for this heavy stuff.) These make inexpensive, secure, and dust free cases to transport delicate equipment.

Recently I came to know that space don't have colours like we see in photos

I have the 10" and it works fantastic.

Great video! Always envious of your awesome equipment! I thought id start this hobby and just be happy with my WO GT71, but I can’t believe I’ve been bitten by the bug that makes a person want a bigger scope! lol! So in love with astrophotography!

considering doing this. living in SW Ontario. have a popup tent trailer and plan to use Hipcamp for campsites on peoples farms. $100 is double the price youd expect from Hipcamp here btw

What is this event called?

All you need is a lot of money 😂

Epic picture! I’ve got to find a dark sky spot like that

You say you’re turning the LP filter off for Andromedia. Isn’t it off by default for a galaxy?

I've been following your channel for the past of 1,5-2 years, You, Nico, Alyn and Astrobiscuits inspired me to start my astrophotography journey. I like this video a lot. I like that its a bit longer than usual, and shows things you are not often showing, like how you set up your rig and other stuff like packing your gear before moving out to the location. It had a chill vibe, and I felt more connected and engaged. The usual "Here is my million$ rig consisting of this-this-and that, let me plop it outside my garage, poof, here are the results" kinda videos got slightly repetitive. But this one... this one is golden. Loved it.

What app were you using on your phone?

M51 is my favorite celestial object i haven't been able to catch it even when i find Alkaid i can't find it. I had luck with Orion and Lagoon thought

As a old photographer I am curious if focusing is that complicated for kids today. That image was the definition of blurry. And fuzzy. And what would have flunked me out of photo class.

Very cool!

You know how some people live vicariously through the actions of extreme sports athletes? Yea not me, I live vicariously through astrophotographers like yourself because this shot you captured is just breathtaking! I really want to get started taking pictures with my camera and meager Astromaster 130. It's small, non digital, but one of these days Alice.. To the moon!

Nice scorpion
