Gonna setup scope tonight non-a-fags you're welcome to come over and have a look, just planning to do a bit of practice runs to remember the steps for the alignment thing I think I had it figured out last night but I forgot a few steps.

Nice setup OP, you got a CCD eyepiece?
Jayden Cruz
damn, the arm on that finderscope is long.
Jacob Smith
I gotta wait till Friday so I can buy a ZWO camera
By the way this is my old setup attached picture of my current refractor I am waiting on an adapter to come in via UPS to use my DSLR
The tripod is the same but newer
Cameron Collins
What? Is there something particular tonight? I’m intredasted
Austin Cooper
residential setup... so what filters are you using?
Isaiah Scott
just looking at the normal night sky or is something special happening, like a comet or other event
Josiah Bell
not OP, but Orion nebula is still up this time of year. always a fun target.

so wide field astrophotography then
Kevin Morgan
Oh shit nigger
Alexander Parker
how far away can you see the usual couple solar mass star with your setup?
also post pics of andromeda with your thing if you have any, i love andromeda
Logan Bell
Very cool setup op.
Nolan Jackson
his setup is not really for zoom, so through this telescope, all the stars are just points of light of varying brightness. His rig is mainly good for close galaxys, nebula, and star clusters and getting sharp detail.
Jordan Russell
ah alright
close galaxies means the ones around the milky way like the magellanic clouds or also other local group objects like andromeda and the one's that orbit it?
Liam Parker
yeah, basically. Our local cluster of galaxies. All of them are mostly too dim to see with the naked eye, but they can be pretty big in the sky. So ideally low zoom (for a telescope) with a wide aperture to let in lots of light, like OPs setup, is ideal. Just to give you an idea of what I'm talking about, the Andromeda galaxy is about 4-5 times visibly bigger in the sky then the moon. It's just a lot dimmer, so you you need low zoom telescopes like this with long camera exposures to get those images you find all over the internet.
Jayden King
Do you have anyway for us to see the images tomorrow? I’d love to see them
Matthew Russell
i actually looked at andromeda with a little piece of binoculars in the past, interesting to hear there is so much that's too dim to see
with my """"""setup""""""" it was just slightly more oval-shaped than a star
Robert Taylor
Was doing a bit of testing I modded a Canon 450d myself had my Celestron Nexstar 5SE on the Celestron Advanced VX mount on Thursday images came out pretty bad...
Was using Backyard EOS maybe that had some thing to do with it.
Liam Richardson
yep, looking directly at it through binoculars or telescope, your see it as a lighter fuzzy patch, which is the "bright" core of the galaxy. to see those swirling arm bands of stars, that's when you need long exposure cameras.
Brayden Myers
Hey OP, shove that scope up your ass so I can inspect Uranus

Is the future of telescopes, uses a camera inside it to capture the object the longer you look at it the move it comes out so what you can't see with a normal telescope you will be able to see with that telescope.
So you will be able to see Andromeda just about like the pictures and you can take pictures of it.
Caleb James
I've gotten similar quality view like that with my Celestron C6. It just takes practice and time to figure out all ins and outs of your rig. Looks like no filter there, which can work at times. Still, even a basic UHC/light pollution filter can really help pull those nebula out from the ambient glow in the background from city lights.
Ethan Cruz
I was planning to buy
agenaastro.com
but it's gonna be a while I need to buy a ZWO camera still.
Aaron Hughes
yeah, I've seen that. interesting idea. For the casual viewer it's good way to see a lot of cool things in the night sky. For serious astro nerds, half the fun is seeing what you can get out of post processing raw photos from a standard telescope setup.
Nolan Brown
Baader does good filters, and that's a reasonable priced one. With some relatively inexpensive addons, you can use this filter in a dslr setup in the meantime and get solid results.
Andrew Martin
also, we astro nerds all post process. so don't be afraid to mess with the images a bit after the come off the camera.
