Video slide show of my best astrophotos taken in my observatory called Eifelsternwarte located in Germany. Planetary and deep space sky objects captured by a Canon eos 20Da and a Takahashi and Celestron 8 and a 7" Intes Micro Maksutov telescope. Images of nebulae, galaxies, sun, moon, planets and equipment are shown.

  • Make I ask what the focal ratio were for the telescopes used? Did you use any guider? They are awesome pictures!

  • @KyleLee0910

    Mostly I use f/6 or f/8. My guider is a simple Toucam webcam which works very well. Thank you for the nice comment!

  • great pics! looks like they were taken with Hubble! lol got a question for u if thats ok,

    when doing prime focus astrophotography i can not use the lcd screen on the dslr to focus as it is blank,no image,the image only displays after it has been taken, is that normal? thanx p.s ive got a celestron 8 is well! cant wait to attempt images like urs, jus need the knowledge, lol

  • @HiggyB61

    first sorry for my late answer. Just forgotten it...

    You are right. In case your dslr didn't has the "live-view" function you can use a so called Bahtinov-mask in front of the lens to get the right focus.Good luck!

  • what guide scope did you use? is that a losmandy g-11? and where did you find the weight bar mount for the guide scope? great work! i have a 10" cave astrola mounted on a g-11/canon 20d and 40d/no guide scope yet so i am curious.

  • @MrMetalhead0124

    I use a 3" Vixen refractor piggy pack. Yes a Losmandy G11 but controlled by a littlefoot step controller mad in Germany.

see all

  • @MarkHellweg no probs, thanx for ur reply!

  • great video. I have had the honor of viewing many of these objects through my 14" dobsonian GOTO Skywatcher telescope. Not as clearly mind you

  • @MarkHellweg Hi mark took months but i finally got it, i actually went for the 120 instead of the 102 because of the light gathering/faster shutter speed so could use it as a 600 wildlife prime too, cant wait to start practicing, will be popping to the shop later in the week for a motor for my eq3 2 to track and T ring, but having allready used it with great views of the moon/jupiter thought i'd ask you about projection, would you recommend an adapter or save for a zoom piece like the AC721? Thx

  • great collection !!!
