My 4 Telescope beat my 5 - Atmospheric Conditions and or Cooling? Astrolavista 2024-09-01 | Join me as I capture the edge-on rings of Saturn using both my 4" and 5" refractors on the same night. Interestingly, I faced more challenges with the 5" scope. It’s possible that a longer cooldown period was needed, or perhaps the larger aperture was more affected by the seeing conditions. The 4" is a premium Takahashi and the more expensive of the two telescopes, but even so! I noticed significantly more atmospheric dispersion with the 5".

Sensor Noise Explained! A Case for Small Sensor Cameras Astrolavista 2024-07-28 | What are the different types of noise? Why are larger sensors less noisy? Why should you consider a small sensor camera instead? In this video I aim to answer these questions and more. This video has Astrophotography in mind, but much of it will translate over to general photography. For that I would probably add that larger sensors are better for subject separation / Bokeh.

Premium 4 vs 5 Refractor Comparison on Saturn! Astrolavista 2023-09-17 | I decided to compare my Takahashi FC100DC to a StellaMira 125mm ED I've borrowed to see how they compare for planetary imaging. I tried to remove as much uncertainty as possible by stacking the same number of frames with the same settings then processing with the same saved wavelet settings. In both cases I used the same 2.5x Barlow lens to increase image scale, as well as the same ZWO ASI462mc camera.
