6 hours of work sped up to a 5 minute video.
Dave and his crew from Seybert & Sons are a phenomenal bunch of hard workers.

Roof Front - All Done Now! April 14, 2023

Jupiter, Saturn & a Full Moon Rising - 2 Cameras, Nikon P1000 & Canon 80D

A Look at the 90% Moon Before the Storms Roar In - Nikon P1000 Camera

$My 1st Telescope - Celestron Nexstar 127 SLT 5 Mak-Cass Telescope (Quite Unhappy with the Quality) Update: The Celestrone 127 SLT was sent back due to quality concerns, but eventually got the William Optics GT71 triplet refractor telescope instead. Hallow’s Eve night of frustration rings in my very first telescope, the Celestron Nexstar 127 SLT, 5”, Mak-Cass telescope. An hours worth of nothingness to show but me being agitated as my cheap dot sight finder scopes, which were aligned on distant targets in the daytime, couldn’t get near the planets, even in prime focus with no secondary optics used and with using the diagonal and the wide field of view 25mm eyepiece. Besides the aggravating waste of an hour, I’m not very happy with the quality of this telescope bundle which has a very lightweight cheap tripod, and only having an 8 pound load capacity for the mount (when the telescope tube itself is already around 8 pounds without accessories attached). The icing on the cake for me is the quality of the optics. Im not sure if something was damaged in shipping but one of the inside boxes was crushed when I received it. During the daytime when filming distant objects, the clarity wasnt very good compared to my telephoto lenses, so maybe something got messed up during production or shipping. Anyway! Jupiter, Saturn and the Full Moon, (along with many dust specks), on this Halloween night. 6:25pm to 7:55pm, Saturday Oct 31st, 2020, NE Ohio (USA), SW & Eastern Skies, 39°F (4°C) Telescope Footage Filmed through the Canon R Mirrorless Camera with the Tele Vue Powermate 2.5x Recorded onto the Atomos Ninja Flame 7” Monitor/Recorder in 1080p - Upscaled to 4k Stacking Done through Parallels for Mac with Pipp, AutoStakkert & Registax Everything put together in Final Cut Pro X ~Jayling (Ohio is in the Eastern Time Zone) My Photos & Videos Website: https://jayling.smugmug.com/ Heres the equipment used in this video: -Celestron Nexstar 127 SLT 5” Mak-Cass Telescope: https://amzn.to/323FtRU -Tele Vue Powermate 2.5x: https://www.eyepiecesetc.com/TELEVUE_POWERMATE_1_25_2_5X_p/4200020.htm -Canon EOS R Mirrorless Full Frame Camera: https://amzn.to/2Wn8dkF -Atomos Ninja Flame 7 4K Field Monitor/Recorder: https://amzn.to/34a4Xv9 -Benro C373T Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs: https://amzn.to/2XzddGz -SkyWatcher AZ-GTi Alt-AZ Telescope Mount: https://amzn.to/2YFiVDm -Orion SynScan V5 Hand Controller: https://amzn.to/2JyzxYp -Astromania Dot Sight: https://amzn.to/2L0IJom -Tascam DR-100 MK III Audio Recorder: https://amzn.to/2LwwqQT -Tascam TM-2x Mic: https://amzn.to/2LNADRL -SkySafari Pro App: https://skysafariastronomy.com/ Links to my gear are for Amazon.

$Jupiter, Saturn & Mars - More Testing William Optics GT71 Telescope Without Reducer - Pushed Too Far A bit more playing around/testing with the new William Optics GT71 telescope, pushing it beyond extremes, which means the quality will be quite poor due to my pushing the magnification too far. If you haven’t seen the video before this one it will show the gear used. Jupiter, Saturn & Mars with a large 1 second flyby below Mars at 8:20. Tonight we took off the flattener/reducer to get a little extra reach while using the Canon Ra camera in prime focus with no Barlow or teleconverters. 6:25pm to 6:49om, Wed Nov 4th, 2020, NE Ohio (USA), SW & ESE Skies, 58°F (14°C) Telescope Footage Filmed through the Canon Ra Mirrorless Camera Recorded onto the Atomos Ninja Flame 7” Monitor/Recorder in 1080p - Upscaled to 4k Stacking Done in the Lynkeos app for Mac Photos Processed in Lightroom Classic Everything put together in Final Cut Pro X ~Jayling (Ohio is in the Eastern Time Zone) My Photos & Videos Website: https://jayling.smugmug.com/ Heres the equipment used in this video: -William Optics GT71 APO Triplet Refractor Telescope: https://www.highpointscientific.com/william-optics-gt71-f-5-9-gold-triplet-apo-refractor-w-flattener-and-dual-side-dovetail-a-f71gtii-ap -Canon EOS Ra Astro Camera: https://amzn.to/3gmSJFB -Atomos Ninja Flame 7 4K Field Monitor/Recorder: https://amzn.to/34a4Xv9 -Benro C373T Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs: https://amzn.to/2XzddGz -SkyWatcher AZ-GTi Alt-AZ Telescope Mount: https://amzn.to/2YFiVDm -Orion SynScan V5 Hand Controller: https://amzn.to/2JyzxYp -Astromania Dot Sight: https://amzn.to/2L0IJom -Tascam DR-100 MK III Audio Recorder: https://amzn.to/2LwwqQT -Tascam TM-2x Mic: https://amzn.to/2LNADRL -SkySafari Pro App: https://skysafariastronomy.com/ Links to my gear are for Amazon.
