#Skyguider pro tips how to
If you're interested in learning even more about the SkyGuider Pro, I've recently created a course that contains over 15 hours of tutorial videos! You'll learn the best camera settings to use, how to setup the SkyGuider Pro in the field, and even post-processing. This will give you a good look at how the SkyGuider Pro works. Before I get into the actual review, I would recommend you watch the SkyGuider Pro overview video.
In this review, I'll explain the most important aspects of the SkyGuider Pro, like the counterweight system, polar alignment, build quality, and if it's worth the price. That seems like a great idea! Although I would like to leave it for a while before making another big purchase.The SkyGuider Pro is an excellent star tracker, and it features a number of improvements over the SkyTracker Pro. Maybe others will chime in with help on that? Just make sure that each night has its own set of calibration frames.Īs for reframing on different nights without an asiair pro? It's brutal, I honestly have no tips, I couldn't figure out a way to do it efficiently and consistently. And yeah you can stack multiple exposure lengths, and for many objects it is recommended. This allowed me, for the first time, to properly image across multiple nights. Honestly I was getting very frustrated by the whole ordeal before I picked one of those up. It has made imaging so much smoother, less time messing around with thirty second exposures looking for a faint blob iand more time imaging. And when you are close enough you can then use the annotate feature, it'll put a nice green circle around any objects in frame, even if you can actually see it in the preview. I can get the object in frame in five minutes or so most of the time. It then gives me the coordinates of where the camera is pointed, I compare it to the objects coordinates and adjust. I'd point the camera in the general direction and take a short 2 second exposure and then plate solve. With the asiair pro I would find the whirlpool galaxy in an app like stellarium, get the dec and RA coordinates.
I've got a Star Adventurer so same schtick, no goto and a pain in the ass to find objects. Have you thought about getting an Asiair Pro? It has elevated the whole game for me. I understand Ill have to start the editting process all over again, but I'm ok with that, the more practice, the better! Ill share an image of the current edit just for those who may be interested! The scope is a ZS61 so its quite cropped, using a Canon EOS 800d. Without going into too much detail about the current picture, just wondering without a goto system, how do I go about gathering more data tonight, and making sure I can still stack them with my data from last night? I've never tried it, I just assume I might be struggling to stack if the frames are a little off?Īlso would it negatively effect the image anyway if I attempted 90 second exposures and stack them with the 60 second exposures? I got about 45 minutes of lights, did some darks and bias etc. I can bring out the real colors (I think) but it seems very, translucent (not too sure on the right term when it comes to astrophotography).
Was doing 60 second exposures unguided on M51 yesterday, come to stacking and editting it today.
