Backyard Astrophotography: I Photographed A Nebula In Space!

The Soul Nebula was one of my first images. And now, I get a chance to revisit it!

Thank you so much for stopping by, I wish you a wonderful day/night wherever you are, clear skies, and

May the night be with us!

I also use a plastic bin top to keep my cables off of the grass!❤

Nice work Tim it's a game changer the asiair and eaf combination thats for sure

Superb image Tim. Ah the joy of electronic focusing - makes life so much easier for sure.

So happy for you! I love not having to go outside every 2 hours now!

Great video Tim I've had a bit of a love hate relationship with my autofocuser I think I've just about sorted it out again so fingers crossed for the next clear night. Lovely image of the soul nebula to.
Clear skies!!

Wow, great video again Tim! This seriously got me looking into a deep sky setup again besides the wide angle stuff I do. Really love your vlog quality also, can learn a lot from this for my own channel :-).

I have a question. How do you go about leaving your gear outside? I assume by you getting 8hrs you just left it running for the night? I'm so paranoid that it'll rain so I don't get a whole lot captured until winter has fully arrived giving me from around 5pm to 11pm.

oh my lord!! that's really amazing. Can we get an updated breakdown video on your main imaging setup please?

[rickwilliamsphotography]

8 hours! Wow! I just got the EAF and learned to use it this past week. I've been struggling a bit with guiding and setting the guide pulse rates, aggression, and the settling parameters. Can you make (or have you already made) a short video on guiding set up?

[Seafox]

Excellent capture! (ZWO should sponsor you ;-)

Great video - the excitement of the next step. I’m not quite ready to take this step yet, but any chance of a set-up video for the EAF. I suspect many of my fellow noobs would appreciate that.
(Although I appreciate that kind of video probably falls below the hits:effort ratio).

Excellent image (as usual). Thanks for the video. I'd be interested in the editing video. I'd also be keen to understand how you choose the duration of your subs as 5 minutes seems long with light pollution and a full moon. Is it a feature of using a narrowband filter?

[stephens]

Great image Tim! I have similar setup to you and was wondering if you have any trouble getting good flat frames from your L-Extreme?
Cheers

Put the EAF on my Orion EON 130 a few months ago. Works great, but once it wouldn't turn my Focuser so I had to take my Focuser apart and tweek everything a bit. I believe when winter hits I'll need to clean out all that think heavy grease in my Focuser and grease it up with something thinner. Great set up though. I'm about to start a new 70mm build just like that. Thanks for the video

[CrescentUmmi]

Excellent! Need a processing tutorial plz

[TheZroCool]

Great video. Just setup an EAF and ASIAir on mates Esprit 120. Really impressed with it! Makes my laptop seem like a dinosaur compared to it!
