In this video, I capture Venus, Mars, the Moon, and even the Ring Nebula using a Dob!

While the types of projects you can take on may be limited, there are still plenty of great reasons to use your Dobsonian telescope for astrophotography (even a manual, one!)

5:50 12+ years of astro, and look at that reaction. That's what it's all about.
There’s something about the simplicity of a Dob! Great video Trev and Ash! Dr B from Manitoba, Canada 🇨🇦
was that the XT8?!?!?!?!
Now this was an exciting watch! I have been wanting to get into astrophotography. Looks like I'll be getting a phone adapter for my 6" dop and going for the moon!
Would love to use one. But gosh I feel it will be one of those scopes that you will use once and then let it gather dust. Very tough to move around. I'll stick to SCTs for visual for now…
Hello there Im a little bit stuck and wanted to know if you can help me? So we want to buy the Orion Mini 50mm Guide Scope and now I don't know what I need to buy to mount it on my telescope. Ive got a Meade ETX 90. Like for example which rings or where I can mount the rings on the telescope etc. And how could I connect a ZWO DSO Camera to it since the camera is M42X0.75 and the connection to eyepiece is 1,25"
Astrophotography through a dobsonian is super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Hey Trevor, so I have the sv503 80mm. Am looking, as Ive told you in another vid, at the new 294. But looking at the sampling ratio I’m a bit worried. That combo would put me at 2.13 for the ratio…which isn’t horrible. But I’m worried about the undersampling really staining my details.
I’d be willing to look at the 533 platforms as it would drop the ratio to 1.7. A little help/advice from someone who been shooting Astro a while would be much appreciated. Thanks
hello i live in the northern hemisphere my telescope zooms 675x from the northern hemisphere which galaxies galaxies and nebulae what lens and lens should be attached with this telescope can you give me information😊
I love your videos, you are so talented and educated you have taught me so much about how and what to use to get the best photo or image. Thank You.
Would you be willing to make a short or video about seeing Jupiter and or Saturn through the dob. I got an 8” dob a few days ago and so far I’ve only had cloudy weather. I was shocked to have seen the rings of Saturn and the cloud lines on Jupiter with my 5” but I’m even more curious to see how well an image can come out with your expertise as well as with some heavy equipment. Thanks and keep on doing the great work!
Would the ASiair not work on the 14" Dob? Its a SynScan…so I'm thinking EQ Mod? The Plate Solving would center your target then.
Amazing Loved this
I love seeing the growth of the b-roll and editing over the years! Goals!
Awesome work 👏🙌🙏
A neat video. I have a small 4inch dob that I tried to connect my mirrorless camera to it. I can never get it in focused, so I don't know if there is more space needed between the viewfinder and camera?
Never let you get bored of astrophotography.
Yep thats Trevor for you! 🫶🏼
Awesome.
Do you use syncscan pro?
I use the Baader hyperion ocular that attach to the T2 ring on the canon works great
How long can you track with this telescope? In other words, what is the maximum exposure time before drift becomes an issue?
Thank you for another great video. Although you said many times over the Dobsonian isn't meant for deep sky astrophotography, you didn't help viewers understand why not.
