Science YouTube channel?!

-
Hello everyone! Last time I decided to finally start my youtube channel about SCIENCE! It will be mostly astronomy still, but I don't wanna limit it only to that :) There also might appear tutorials/vlogs about astrophotography, might be worth subscribing! :D There are alread 2 vids waiting for you: one about spring equinox and one about Tiangong-1! Hope to see you there!

Link to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIWevJ2me2PtsDKfpxrN5sg

Also: I would try catching ISS thru telescope today, but 20 minutes before it passing, clouds came and now whole sky is covered with them :/

The Grand Return: Ring Nebula - 06/07/2024

Hello!   Welcome, after a long long time.. Over 5 years and 10 months of no posts.. I haven't been doing astrophotography over the years due to mental health reasons.. but I am now back, and better than ever! MUCH better in fact! I can't believe how many mistakes I've been making in the past! Current situation: I'm currently upgrading my gear, so my setup is quite cursed right now.. I recently bought an Orion Mini 50mm guide scope, a ZWO ASI462MM camera, and an OnStep upgrade kit for my EQ-5 mount. The last one, unforunately, has not arrived yet.. but I really wanted to try out the camera and guidescope! So last night I tried using the telescope by using the guidescope with the cam as basically an electronic finderscope, and then once on target - I moved the camera from the guidescope to the main scope.. which was kind of a problem, because of focusing and the telescope moving ever so slightly! The FOV of my telescope with that camera is super narrow, so hitting the tar...

 Hello! Let's take a look at things not working out.. and not in an obvious way too! On the night I imaged Saturn , I also tried imaging the Whirlpool Galaxy - one of if not THE favorite target of mine! It's not really a difficult target, be it to find or photograph.. I mean, I took a cool image of it years ago back when I was doing pretty much everything wrong! But anyway, I was still waiting for my OnStep kit to arrive and was super curious about trying out the ZWO asi462mm camera, as this was my first time experiencing a dedicated astrocam and I couldn't use it for guiding until OnStep arrived anyway.. I checked, and the Whirlpool Galaxy fit in my FOV just about perfectly!  screenshot from https://astronomy.tools/calculators/field_of_view/ It wasn't gonna be easy to locate with the telescope, and at that super narrow FOV of course I had to get a really dope polar alignment and had to pay attention so that it doesn't drift out of frame.. But I managed to do that! ...

Hello! Yesterday I got a chance to try out my webcam that I modded for astrophoto. I am on vacation in italy at the moment, the planets are higher in the sky here so I get less atmospheric disturbance. Gotta say, the webcam was a great investment :) I might try again tonight tho, with barlow so I can get a better res :D Mars isn't as good tho, I'll try to get a better one tonight :) Skywatcher 150/1200 on EQ-5 with 1 axis drive Modified Logitech C270 Infrared filter
