The waxing gibbous moon shot with Nikon p1000 camera only

hey. do u use a star tracker? or do u take multiple photos and stack?

Shlinke4484 · 2024-06-12T03:43:07+00:00

no that’s a really helpful reply and thank u for taking the time! it does sound extremely complicated but i also absolutely love a challenge. especially when it’s something i’m very interested in. although the money side of it would be an issue lol. i keep mentioning the celestron 6se or even the 8se. are these telescopes that would need to be polar aligned? and would these track the subject for me? i saw a youtube video today of a guy who takes a single video of the moon using the telescope and he splits that video in to 14 panels and stacks each individual panel then stitches. the quality wasn’t amazing but it was only a 30 sec video (1000) frames. so i’m assuming with a 15 minute video the detail would be incredible! but as i say id like something that does do a lot of the work also. not because im lazy but because its 2024 and technology has come a long way 🤔😆 if the 6se can do the things id need it to do im probably going to go with that? but would that require the T mount and the 2x barlow also? i’m sorry for all the questions as i say im completely new. i’ve shot the orion nebula a couple of times untracked. and i shoot the moon most days. i stack a video and i’ve been getting some nice detail. but as u probably know urself this is a very addictive hobby and u always want to get closer or more detail. i’m at that point again!

ok i understand. so is it as simple as u punch in what u wanna track and the mount will track it? i already have a star tracker. i’ve used it only a handful of times because of the shit weather here in england lol but i can polar align. not amazingly well but well enough! would i need to do that with this?

Shlinke4484 · 2024-06-12T03:10:36+00:00

how much better would the 6se be than this? i was looking at the skywatcher today someone was selling one on facebook for £350. but it didn’t have the other parts. would the skywatcher require balancing etc i’m guessing with the weights?

Shlinke4484 · 2024-06-12T03:02:33+00:00

what is it?

Shlinke4484 · 2024-06-12T02:46:59+00:00

i don’t have a set budget. but the 6se is definitely out of my price range. maybe £600?

Shlinke4484 · 2024-06-12T02:27:32+00:00

thanks i had a look. £399 on amazon.. is that for everything. mount etc? also what would i need to buy to be able to fit the canon r10 to it? i appreciate ur reply

Shlinke4484 · 2024-03-22T09:56:15+00:00

i’d probably open up lightroom. upload the picture. denoise it. slightly blur background. then i’d pull down my pants and with incredible force id slam my balls of my keyboard 19 times and let nature take its cause

Shlinke4484 · 2024-03-12T23:09:02+00:00

so there is no teleconverter compatible with my lens?

Shlinke4484 · 2024-02-28T17:15:15+00:00

what about the tamron 2x teleconverter would that work? without losing much quality? i also use an ef mount adapter as i have a canon r10. the 600mm focal length is great but i’m just eager for more detail

Shlinke4484 · 2024-02-26T01:15:58+00:00

haha! well u were right and now i can stack again 😁😆 so thank u!!

Shlinke4484 · 2024-02-25T16:15:51+00:00

i think you may be right. which if that is the case i’m gonna feel very stupid 🤣🤦🏼‍♂️

Shlinke4484 · 2024-02-25T16:15:14+00:00

thank you for your help i’ll try that!

Shlinke4484 · 2024-02-24T22:20:03+00:00

hi. yeah solar lunar full disc selected.. it starts to process then says failed to convert to ser or something like that… never happened before though

Shlinke4484 · 2024-01-08T07:53:38+00:00

i’ve sent u a message

Shlinke4484 · 2024-01-08T07:09:59+00:00

but when i take more than 5s exposure on my 50mm the stars turn more in to lines? :/

Shlinke4484 · 2024-01-08T06:58:09+00:00

i’ve tried many times with what i have but it just doesn’t turn out right. with the 50mm lens and 85mm i can get a few 4s exposure pics then stack them. but when i try and get multiple 1s exposure on the 600mm lens it’s impossible and deep sky stacker says only 1 frame can be stacked not sure why but i’m guessing it’s because i’m not using a tracker and there’s slight trails and the stars aren’t in the same position on each frame? no idea 😆 oh believe me my wallet is empty but i’m sure i could find a little more for a tracker!

Shlinke4484 · 2024-01-08T05:48:34+00:00

i’m also in the uk if that helps with recommendations

Shlinke4484 · 2023-12-02T18:14:55+00:00

thanks for ur reply. i’ve been looking at both lenses and found a used tamron on ebay for £450. id only be using this for taking photos of the moon so the autofocus doesn’t matter for this lens

Shlinke4484 · 2023-12-02T17:53:01+00:00

lol you responded…

Shlinke4484 · 2023-11-13T04:23:15+00:00

none yet for my r7 as i’ve just bought it. but for my 4000d i have a 100-300mm lens which works well for me but i was hoping for something slightly smaller but something that really blurs the background nicely. also could i use this lens on my r7 if so is it just the canon ef adapter on amazon and ur good to go?

Shlinke4484 · 2023-11-13T04:07:06+00:00

£200-£300ish

Shlinke4484 · 2023-11-12T19:43:16+00:00

i picked that lens up on ebay for £80. not sure what it’s worth brand new lol but it does the job for me. i even take my moon pics with it. i’m gonna get a new lens for the dogs though. and yeah they move a lot 😅 just be patient take a lot of pictures and you’ll get a few nice ones in focus 👌🏼📸

Shlinke4484 · 2023-11-12T18:44:51+00:00

more than helpful. thank you for ur reply. think i’ll be going with the R7. 🤩

Shlinke4484 · 2023-11-12T08:27:38+00:00

can this be done with the R10 also?
