No way I could catch such a fast moving object with my telescope - it takes me awhile just to catch the Moon, lol! Good job! Thank you for sharing.

Hi im mervin from Gloucestershire very nice youtube program i use to do astronomy my self i seen the rings of saturn to we know they are made from water ice i often wonder what our sky would be like if saturns rings were over head .i mainly use binoculars now cause you got the advantage of both eyes in use very well explain ed.

Hey man so I just got this telescope and wanted to see what I needed to basically do what you did. I have a canon 5D Mark III. Aside from those pieces would you kind telling me what to get as far as software and hardware goes. Thanks a lot man. Side question is this a good telescope for looking at other things like andromeda and stars? Thanks

Hey! In addition to the telescope and camera, you are likely going to want a 2x barlow lens to increase the magnification and detail a little bit. As far as software goes, the only one I used for this was PIPP (Planetary Imaging PreProcessor). PIPP should be able to take the see the iss in each frame, crop it, then center it for a little video or image sequence. The camera settings are something that may take multiple attempts to optimize. You want the shutter running very quickly since it is moving REALLY fast in the field but it is bright enough that this isn't a big deal. Individual frames is what I had to do to get that shutter speed. It also gets really hard to track when it is directly overhead but if you can nail that, then you should get some amazing images. The big dobsonian is fantastic for planetary imaging but is a bit rough for deep space. You can see the brightest parts of some of the brightest DSOs but it is hard to do any "long exposure" with a dob since you are doing the tracking manually. It's not impossible, but it is beyond difficult. I would check out the Great Orion Nebula though since you should be able to see the nebulosity around the trapezium in the center. The Lagoon Nebula and the core of Andromeda should also be visible but may not be as impressive.

I have a question, on your celestron 130slt do you use a coma corrector?
@kylemccaslin
3 жыл бұрын
I do no use a coma corrector. You can see coma in my DSO images around the edges of the frame. Coma is worse the faster the scope and since I use the 130slt which is a F/5, it definitely shows up. That said, it never bothered me enough to try and fix it.

Question about the 130 slt. Is there ways to use software to combine frames for planets like you did with Saturn or Jupiter with just a phone (iphone 12 pro) as a camera? Also, do higher quality eyepieces affect the quality of images a lot. Would 100$+ eyepieces be worth it? Last thing, what other ways could I get higher quality images, I know there is something you can do with a laser eyepiece and adjusting the mirror, but I don’t know how useful it is.

There's almost certainly a way to do this with a phone. Your probably want to look for a software that extracts the frames from mp4s. If not, the iPhone probably has a burst mode right? Afterwards, i think the stacking software that I used takes JPGs as well if I'm remembering correctly. Your not going to see much of a difference between eyepieces unless the one your using is really bad. Its a kind of diminishing returns thing. Probably the biggest factor for the eyepieces is the chromatic aberration which is the blue and red fringing, this could admittedly be part of any of the lenses though in your optical train. You definitely want to colimate before using any newtonian reflector. It helps keep everything crisp.

Nice. Did you use you Canon ? Because I've tried the SvBony 305 camera on the moon and planets and it's very good (obviously for 140€) Great video

Yup, it was shot in individual frames with my Canon EOS 450d/Rebel Xsi. Did it in individual frames because the ISS needs a really fast shutter speed to not have a ton of trailing.
