This is a brief discussion on matching up an astrophotography camera to a telescope. Topics covered are whether the pairing is oversampled or undersampled and takes into consideration the camera's pixel size in microns, the focal length of the telescope, and image scale. Not covered are seeing conditions that can also play a major role. #astrophotography #camera #telescope

The 8" ROWE-ACKERMANN SCHMIDT ASTROGRAPH (RASA 8) is really a telescope I would like to own. I think it's probably just a matter of 'when'. The RASA '11 inch' is a little out of the price range I'm willing to spend at the moment. Here is more information pulled from Celestron's website: * Flat field free of optical aberrations like field curvature, coma, astigmatism and chromatic aberration across an entire APS-C sensor. * Unlike the larger RASA that work with DSLR and large CCD cameras, the 8” model was designed with color astronomical CMOS cameras, smaller CCD cameras, and mirrorless cameras in mind. * The telescope does not work with standard DSLR cameras. * Ultra-Stable Focus System – six precision sealed ball bearings virtually eliminate image shift. * Integrated air cooling system –12V DC MagLev fan reduces cooldown time and provides optimal air flow while filtering out dust. * Internal filter mount – seamlessly accommodates a Light Pollution Imaging Filter into the optical path. * CGE dovetail mounting rail. #celestron #rasa #telescope

Orion Nebula HDR Photoshop Tutorial To produce an astrophotography image of the Orion Nebula with a high dynamic range, it is best to blend a set of varying exposure lengths together. In this video, I combine an image set of 3-minute exposures (stacked) at ISO 800, with a set of 10-second exposures. This helps to reveal the subtle details of the bright core of the Orion Nebula.

Discover how to photograph a lunar eclipse in this tutorial video. During a lunar eclipse, the Moon passes behind Earth’s shadow, which blocks it from sunlight. At the moment of totality, the lunar disk is not completely dark but has a reddish hue, due to sunlight refracted through Earth’s atmosphere.

Capturing comet 46P with a static tripod, tracked OTA and piggy backed lens We will discuss 3 potential ways of capturing a moving target, like comet 46P. The first will be using a static tripod, camera and lens to capture a wider field view. The second will be using a traditional tracked mount and OTA to capture a closer in view of the target. Lastly we will discuss the benefit of using a piggyback mount to add a different focal length to the OTA. We will discuss the software used to obtain and image the target, track the section of the sky and lastly some of the processing done to create the slideshows. All of this will be from a relatively novice perspective. Presented by Ryan Blankenship

This is the second part of the processing party and we processed the Cone Nebula and Christmas Tree Cluster. The images were taken with The QHY9c On a William Optics 80mm Zentihstar APO Refractor

This will be the second ever Process Party!!! As we will be looking at the images taken on 1/4/19 and we will be stacking, processing and such...as we got three objects (Rosette and Cone Nebula plus the comet)...So, come and join!!!! and let’s have some fun together!!!!

In this video I included the following: 1) Celestron RASA 11 Review 2) Celestron CGX-L mount review 3) Tips for using Celestron RASA and CGXL-Mount 4) How I captured M45 Pleiades also called Seven Sisters 5) How I processes M45 Pleiades in Pixinsight - complete workflow I hope you enjoy the video.

My plan for 2019 is to try a different light pollution strategy and use the Optolong L-Pro filter as my luminance while leaving my RGB filters unprotected from light pollution. Living in Metro Detroit means I have severe light pollution, a red zone bordering on a white zone. #optolong #lightpollution #lpro

This video shows the evolution of a chaotic and fascinating binary star system named R Aquarii. The time lapse begins with observations from the Nordic Optical Telescope taken in 1997. In the 15 years since that image was taken the system has been observed by many other telescopes, including ESO’s Very Large Telescope. This video lapses between a selection of these images, showing the expansion and evolution of the material surrounding R Aquarii. R Aquarii is a so-called “symbiotic binary”, comprising two stars surrounded by a large, dynamic cloud of gas (a nebula). Systems like this contain two stars in an unequal and complex relationship. R Aquarii is made up of one hot white dwarf and one red giant. The red giant is losing matter to its small companion and occasionally ejecting matter in weird spurts, loops and trails, forming the intriguing shapes seen here. There is a lot going on between the performers in this cosmic double act. The red giant is a variable star, with a brightness that changes by a factor of 750 every year and three weeks. The faint nebula is named Cederblad 211 and is thought to be the result of a violent nova 250 years ago. Also visible is a narrow, vertical, S-shaped feature, with blobs of superheated material.

While testing a new subsystem on the SPHERE planet-hunting instrument on ESO’s Very Large telescope, astronomers were able to capture dramatic details of the turbulent stellar relationship in the binary star R Aquarii with unprecedented clarity — even compared to observations from Hubble.

I finally had some clear skies to finish up the Helix Nebula. This was a very tough object to work on in my location because it never rises higher than 27 degrees in the south - so I have a short time to capture each night between obstructions. I'm glad to be moving on - whew! I cropped it to bring the nebula in closer. The Helix nebula is sometimes referred to as the "Eye of Sauron".

Flat Frames are used to correct the vignetting and uneven field illumination created by dust or smudges in your optical train. In this demonstration, I show how to create flats without the need for darks skies or even twilight skies. Flats can be captured during the day as long as you have overcast weather. Not mentioned in this tutorial is that the data was also stacked with 'bias' and 'darks' calibration frames. I may eventually stop using my iPad Pro flats. Here is the equipment used in the demo: Equipment: * Explore Scientific 127mm ED Refractor * ZWO ASI1600MM-c Camera * Old white t-shirt and rubber band * Clouds Software: * Sequence Generator Pro #astrophotography #flats #tutorial

On November 27, 1885, an astronomer made the first known photograph of a meteor. The picture was taken by Austro-Hungarian astronomer Ladislaus Weinek. He captured the trail of the meteor on a photographic plate in the Czech Republic. The meteor he captured was part of the Andromedid meteor shower. The Andromedids were associated with Biela's Comet, which broke apart in the 1850s. When Weinek observed the meteor shower in 1885, it was in the middle of a meteor storm. This means that there were way more meteors than usual. Skywatchers could see thousands of meteors per hour. What used to be a spectacular annual meteor shower is now hardly even visible. Instead of photographic plates or digital cameras, astronomers now have to use special tracking equipment to record images of Andromedid meteors.

How to Focus your camera and prevent elongated stars in the edges using Bahtinov Mask and correct backfocus: In this video I will explain why an appropriate back focus is critical from field flattener and also from the telescope in order to achieve edge to edge round stars. On my Celestron AVX mount, I have a Explore Scientific ED 102 Telescope and ZWO071MC camera and a Explore Scientific Field Flattener. In order to achieve a back focus from telescope to the camera I have to maintain a back focus of 155mm. However, from the field flattener to the camera I need 45mm back focus. In between I have an Celestron Off-Axis Guider and a Astromania 2 inch manual filter wheel. There is a common misunderstanding on why the elongated stars visible in the edges of the picture even after using field flattener.
