Taking an Image of Two Galaxies at Once

Hello,from🇺🇸

Absolutely amazing shots.

Nice end result Tim. I think I might have to re-visit this pair sometime

Your scope setup is awesome, and the photos are incredible. I am just getting started with planetary observations with a Meade LX85 M6 near Palm Springs California.

Awesome work mate 👍👌🌌

Great video- Amazing how many little Ha gems are in M81!

Nice job Tim! - I think this is my next target if the skies ever clear! Keep it up :)

Nice picture of the galaxy and great effort thanks a lot

mega stark

how do u block out the pesky led lights

Fantastic pictures! What happened to the Quad? :-)

Viele Grüße Tim, fantastische Bilder 👌

Nice work. Enjoyed watching

Those satellites are going to get increasingly more annoying as time goes on.

Nice video and great shot at the end!

Good job Tim! It's a Fantastic pictures of m81, m82 :)

Nice image Tim. Beautiful Galaxies are M81 and M82.

Nicely done, Tim. I don't know the price in Germany, but have you considered adding a GSO 6" R.C. to your stable of telescopes? I would think that it would be nice for some of the smaller galaxies.

Great image! What software do you use for your imaging?

Great video Tim!!

About PHD2 drift alignment:
This doesn't work with mount slewing. Instead it waits for the sky to rotate, observes the drift of the stars, figures out whether the stars move in perfect circles and thereby calculates the alignment offset with a suggestion how to calibrate the ALT/AZ axis.

Your procedure of the ASI AIR is similar to "SharpCap polar alignment" and "Pole master".

I wish you clear skies Tim (and the possibility to create more great videos like this) ;-)

Nice shot. Wonder what the image would look like without the Ha data. As a comparison to see the effect the additional data has. I guess you added the Ha alpha also as Luminance channel? I have to tweak more on my setup. I'm currently working on a DIY autofocuser. And when that is finished I want to build a "pre-assembled" setup. So that I "just" have to set the mount and the telescope with everything mounted to it and start alignment and then start shooting. I'm thinking about putting 3 cobble stones in the garden with small "holes" in them. Idea is that the tripod legs will then be put the, everything of course north-aligned. So that I am as near to polar alignemnt and orientation as possible. Keep shooting those great images.

Amazing Tim! Your videos are getting so good! Really informative and easy to follow. Great imaging too.

Bitte doch weiterhin Bode richtig aussprechen ;) Super schöne Bilder. Gruß aus England!

Great job, Tim. We have a very similar set up although I am using a 1600mm pro. Can I ask what gain you were using for those 180 second subs? I shot this same target last night (LRGB) and the results are good but lack your red and blue detail in the arms. Cheers.

Need to remind myself to wait 6 months before relating these videos to our end of the world. Nice content though keep it up.

Great video Tim, thanks for sharing 👏👏👏

Habe letzte Woche auch die beiden fotografiert :D Gutes Video !

Very impressive work Tim. I've been an avid astronomy fan since I was a small child. I love shooting the stars with my modest equipment. I have considered entering a more advanced level, but it looks way too complicated. I still enjoy watching experts like yourself though.

Sehr schönes Video👍🏻Nutzt du einen Flattener am großen Apo?

I am amazed at your fluency with ASIAIR. I have one, but I am afraid, I never used it well yet. Awesome final image and a great Video Tim!

Awesome! Not only your images but your video’s quality have improved a lot! Congratulations for the amazing shot and for the amazing video 👏🏻

Absolutely incredible🤩

Sehr gut, danke. Very nice work and instructional.

What filters are you loading in your filter wheel when you shoot with a color camera?

Wow. Are you the astronomer who posted this week about the supernova in the constellation of Sagittarius?

Klasse. Mach weiter so und immer CS.

Absolutely awesome shot of Bode's Nebulae 😁

Congratulations on the ASIAIR Pro. You will love it. Except the wifi range. lol.Its about 5ft.

Well done Tim!

Awesome captures, nice setup as I am a newbe would it be possible to photograph a galaxy with an St80 or is this scope un able to achieve this Thanx clear skies.

Nice work Tim. In the UK the asterism known as the big dipper in north America is called The Plough. What is it called in Germany?

Yeah...spring kinda said bye in April ...nice pictures
