Next time you're out with your scope, and you hear a rustle in the bushes. Just know that's not an animal. That's Nico Carver, of Nebula Photos, waiting to strike.

Love that Nico appears in other YouTubers videos. He did some stuff with Sarah Maths too. It gives off such a great sense of community.

You and Nico really are the premier Astrophotography channels on YouTube. I like Astrobiscuit too because he is a bit of a looney and really great to watch but he just doesn't upload enough. All 3 of you make fantastic videos. Thanks for all your efforts.

I watched your old video on the Witch's Broom (from SIX years ago!!) and honestly the amount of progress you've made in that time is nothing short of remarkable, not just in your images either - look how much your life has changed! :-) I'm so happy for you brother, keep doing what you do!

Man I love this channel. I dabble in astrophotography. Started out hand tracking with my Nikon D3300 with either of the kit lenses. Mostly the 55-200mm. I did mostly Orion and Andromeda because they are the easiest. The other month I finally bought a cheap tracker. The iOptron Skytracker Pro. The Veil Nebula was literally the first object I tried with the tracker. It took me a while to actually find it. There isn't much to look at on a single image. But it was enough hint of something to know I was looking in the right spot. I believe I had the 55-200mm on 119mm. I wanted to do 2 hours of integration but some unexpected clouds moved in at around 1 hour into it. But I stacked the images in DSS and edited and it kinda blew my mind. No it wasn't great by any means and plus the fact that I suck at editing. But it was a "oh wow" moment for me to see the blue and red wispy gas clouds with this cheap set up. I most definitely want to try the Veil Nebula again but with a lot more integration and I've been watching videos on how to edit better.

My two favorite Astrophotographers in one video, Nico and Trevor in the House! Definitely an alignment of stars has occurred. I freaken love it, thanks guys! Do it again.

Astrophotography collabs are the best collabs

[kscheben]

The Veil is such an impressive target Trevor. You really showcase the power of shooting with mono and dedicated narrowband filters. Combined with your more recent tools and skills, the final result really pops! Looks like you had a great time with Nico. Met him at the recent Black Forest Star Party and he’s a super nice guy.

I love the fun at the start with Nico, you must do more of this duo act - really good to see. On that the Veil was amazing, I have tried with the 135mm and 65mm APO - will attempt with the 120 next !

Beautiful colors in the backyard, Trevor! And insane image, wow! 🔥

[Crypticdragon]

You and Nico are the 2 main people that got me into this hobby. Seeing that I can actually see these wonders in the sky from my own yard was absolutely mind-blowing! Thank you both for helping me find a healthy and incredible hobby ❤️

[jeffreygrandon]

What a terrific final result. But does anybody else break into laughter at 4:18 when Trevor's narration includes a view of no less than 12 telescope setups in the garage background, along with at least 1-2 tripods with a DSLR setup? 🤣Hi Nico!

[ronanhunt]

Loving this new cameo/ crossover meta amongst astro YouTubers. V fun.

Also your garage has become unbelievably stacked with astro gear!

[amateurastrophoto]

Huge fan of both you and Nico. Without @Astrobackyard and @NebulaPhotos not sure I would even still be getting my rig outside so thanks to both of you!

[ruthlessrog]

Loving the collabs that have been popping up in the AP community. Its dope to bond with ppl that share passions.

[hotflashfoto]

I loved seeing Nico there with you. I only wish that the weather had cooperated and the two of you had been able to shoot together.

I just ordered an ASI Air Plus and hope to have it within the week. I should be shooting soon and can hardly wait to join the ranks of folks like you, albeit as a rank amateur.

[keithhanssen]

Super image, Trevor! I have that reducer/flattener but I haven’t used it yet. How did it perform? Easy to dial in? Any vignetting?

[astrotan]

Your processing has gotten insane dude, even in the past 3 months I’ve noticed a HUGE difference. Keep it up my guy!

[Wheeljack]

There's something extra wholesome about content creators within a given topic appearing in each others videos. Especially when it's something so funny and self-ironic as what you two did in this video. I enjoyed that bit. Really cool to see the progress of your images. I've been at it for 2-3 years now myself, and I always like to compare my results with previous attempts.

[jeffnewgard]

It's great to see you both working together, even if the skies don't allow any imaging. The kit lens challenge is still one of my all time favorites. Keep having fun and clear skies!
