How Light Pollution is Killing Your Astrophotography Bray Falls 2024-12-14 | Hey y'all! This is a video about the practical effects of light pollution on your astrophotography, and some things you can do about it. I demonstrate the effects by comparing two different observing locations on the same night of shooting, measuring their sky quality and comparing the quality of data we can capture in each. This video was also shot from our remote observatory in central texas, where you can host a telescope under extremely dark skies for very low cost: https://starfront.space/

Our new observatory is finished! Bray Falls 2024-06-10 | Hello everyone, this video is about capturing some photos of space from our new remote observatory in Central Texas. The sky conditions out here are bortle 1, so they provide a rare pristine view of the night sky that few people can access. I took photos of Rho Ophiuci, the Andromeda galaxy, and WR134. Our observatory where I captured this video can be found here: https://starfront.space/Our mission is to make dark skies and remote observing more affordable for everyone, if you want to learn more or sign up, I invite you to check out our website.Also, in the WR134 image, I ran into some filaments I hadn't seen before. As it turns out, a colleague Julian Shapiro reached out to me some months back about how he had discovered this object. Over the months that passed I forgot it existed, only to recently stumble upon it myself a few days ago! Since then, Julian has been preparing a paper on these filaments belonging to this likely new SNR. He will have some better images of it in due time, until then you can find Julian's work here: astrobin.com/8n21ke/?q=julian%20shapiro

The largest supernova ever discovered by amateurs #astronomy #space #nebula Bray Falls 2023-12-22 | ...
We discovered a HUGE supernova remnant in Cassiopeia Bray Falls 2023-12-01 | This video tells the story of the discovery of SNR G107.5-5.2, the Nereides Supernova Remnant in Cassiopeia. Currently, the largest known supernova remnant to ever be discovered by amateur astronomers. This nebula was discovered and photographed as an international effort alongside my friends Marcel Drechsler, Yann Sainty, Nicolas Martino, and Richard Galli. We found and photographed this entirely with telescopes available to consumers.We hope you enjoy the video and the discovery, full resolution images can be found here: astrobin.com/towmdbAstrophotography workshop this February: blazingheavens.com/workshops/capture-the-cosmos
The Moon WOBBLES and I captured it on camera! Bray Falls 2023-10-08 | Moon Prints Here: bit.ly/3RNdAZ6In this video, I capture the moon every day for a lunar month to show how the moon appears to wobble from our vantage point. This is an optical and physical effect called libration. I use my telescopes at home and in my observatory to capture the moon.

beating JWST at astrophotography with my $500 lens Bray Falls 2023-09-26 | In this video I take you along with the process of capturing a photo of Sh2-216, an elusively faint and large planetary nebula in Perseus. In fact it is the largest PN in our sky. I try to illustrate the optical differences between JWST and my camera lens, and how they can each lead to different but relevant outcomes in astronomy. Neither can fulfill the role of the other, and so I believe the amateur still holds a place in astronomy. The full setup used in this video can be found in these links: Camera lens: amzn.to/465qCW2Camera and filters: bit.ly/48wVHnwA good mount: bit.ly/3ETDQJIComputer: bit.ly/3Fc1RvTLens rings: bit.ly/42nDSCKAutofocuser: bit.ly/3qssCI0My advanced processing guide also recently launched on my webpage here: astrofalls.com/products/advanced-image-processing-course-lifetime-subscriptionThank you all for watching!

We Discovered a Planetary Nebula! Bray Falls 2023-08-09 | In this video, I document the process of the discovery of a brand new nebula, FalFer1: The Pistachio Nebula. This is a previously undiscovered nebula in the constellation Circinus that I discovered with my friend Chester Hall-Fernandez by using nothing but camera lenses, and consumer-grade telescope gear. World-class dark skies definitely did help the process though! This discovery is only the first in a series of discoveries Chester and I have made, the next one we will cover is the insane lightning bolt nebula. I hope you enjoy this video!You can find Chester's images here: instagram.com/astro_cheYou can find my images here: instagram.com/astrofallsFor more technical information, see astrobin: astrobin.com/idmd45/BFor my full setup: astrofalls.com/pages/about0:00 Intro1:25 Explanation of Astro2:36 Chester's Gamble3:26 The Equipment to Discover4:45 How Big are They?5:28 The Night of the Discovery6:23 Analysis of the Data8:10 Taking the Final Image9:42 The Reveal11:40 Info about FalFer113:36 Editing the Image 15:00 Outro
RedCat61 WIFD Review - Finally no more helical focuser! Bray Falls 2023-06-30 | Redcat 61 WIFD: bit.ly/3pp76DQHey everyone, this is a review of the new william optics WIFD Redcat 61. Another interesting telescope with a unique focuser design. This allows the focuser to not flex or tilt, and minimize vignetting. Which gives you also you the freedom to use a more inexpensive autofocuser. This little guy performed quite well in producing some images.

I took a photo of the largest black hole in the universe - Ton 618 Bray Falls 2023-05-29 | Hello everyone, in this video I discuss the history, discvoery, and facts about the black hole/quasar ton618. I show the telescope I used to capture it and the image I took. This video is more focused on the facts and history of the quasar rather than the capture process, since it is just a dot I find this to be more interesting.

$1000 vs $100,000 telescope Bray Falls 2023-04-29 | In this video I compare the differences in capability between a $1,000 telescope, $30,000 telescope, and $100,000 telescope. The point I am trying to make is that its not always about how big the telescope is! I show all different images I've on a big projector screen while I talk about them, I got this idea from damon scotting who's videos you can find here: youtube.com/watch?v=naz67yhu_g8&t=519s (Realize I said your name wrong inthe video sorry bud).If you are looking for a first telescope this is a great choice: http://bit.ly/3xe2KjwALL of my gear in detail is listed here: astrofalls.com/pages/aboutWorkshops: http://www.blazingheavens.com/workshopsFine art prints and editing guides: astrofalls.com
