Cuiv, The Lazy Geek | THE ORION NEBULA - with a CHEAP & TINY telescope, Step by Step, START TO FINISH @CuivTheLazyGeek | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 41 minutes ago.
In this exhaustive tutorial video, I will be covering all the basics from site and date selection to imaging and processing (using both free software and paid software for comparison).
The Dwarflab Dwarf 2 telescope will be used, as it is cheap, lets us get away with not doing polar alignment, can automatically point to and center targets, and can image on its own, fully automated. Very convenient to get started!
