Absolutely as the laser is within the legal level for use here. Are you planning to get one? Use the link and code Astrobloke for an extra discount

Thanks for the quick reply Glen i couldnt find a stockist for the laser for the Nomad in the uk so ive ordered one direct from move shoot move in the usa any orders over 39 dollars worldwide free shipping

Absolutely and it’s a very nice tracker for what I think is a fair price. RUclips being weird as per. Hope all going well for you and the obsy working well mate, clear skies

Had a wonderful break thank you. Its a great travel set up and would be perfect for your camera and lens. I had the mirrorless EOS R and 24-105mm lens on it and also used the canon 6D with samyang 14mm and both were tracked and supported as they should. It was extremely sad about Alyn he was such a source of knowledge and inspiration, he will be missed.

@@Tony-Elliott hi Tony. Its surprising how small and light it is. Perfect for travelling. Looking forward to having a lot more adventures with it

@@nightscapejournals thanks Paul. Best of luck later and will be interested to see your results. I think you will love it, especially how light it is. Come on, spill the beans, what are you planning to add ? 😂

@@siegfriednoet thanks mate

@@dumpydalekobservatory hi Tich. I was surprised at how compact it is and for travelling light its perfect. Does a good job too. Clear skies mate

Thank you and appreciate your kind comments

Its a super little tracker. I think you can order direct from their website as they show Euro as a currency choice.

@@Astrobloke Yes I saw that. It´s more about taxation and warranty. I will wait for an EU dealer to have this nice tracker.

You won't regret it, I think its a super tracker and perfect for travelling light

Thanks Mark. Glad you liked the video, the Nomad is really good.

Thanks Simon. Its so perfect for travelling light. I really want to try Rho again and do a better job. Thanks for watching and clear skies

Thanks Jeremy, For travelling and taking a quick run and gun set up its great.

Lovely place and the trip was perfect for the test. Thanks for watching and glad you liked the timelapses

Thank you. Its a great tracker

Haha, no not my back garden but as cloudy 😂. Its a nice set up and works well. Clear skies

Thanks mate. You’ll be like a news van with all your gear. Have a good trip

@@Astrobloke cheers buddy

Basic build with rolling roof was £800. Adding full automation and extras like insulation, cameras, lighting, flooring it was more like £1000.

@@Astrobloke thank you mate

Good tip thank you

Hi Steve and thanks. Any questions just message me.

ruclips.net/video/LfrhuKkeMl0/видео.htmlsi=5_E4tMeXtmojVq21. Hopefully this helps. Good luck

Hi Tom, I am not sure if the AZ GTI supports PEC training. Mind you if your guiding is giving you good results then I would just leave it. Cameras and the sensors are getting better all the time and nothing wrong with using a planetary camera on a DSO. The 585 is used in the Vespera II by Vaonis that I recently used and it takes great images. You can achieve great results from what is considered budget gear, but there will always be mixed opinions out there. I sometimes get more satisfaction getting a good image from what is considered budget gear. Clear skies …Glenn

I know and the compass was just to get the general direction set. Once I got the mounts on I was able to accurately Polar align to true North.

Thanks! Worked brilliantly and have since built newer ones much bigger. ruclips.net/video/KPBTP9BkJkg/видео.html

That's very strange. I use a keyboard with a touchpad built into it. Not had any issues connect mice though. Is it a wireless one or hardwired?

@@Astrobloke I tried both.

Thank you so much, sorry it has taken a while to reply, I kept forgetting to take my tape measure down with me. The obsy internally is 2.8m x 3.3m or 9’2” x 10’10”. The piers are 1.5m apart 4’11” and offset from the centre line about 1’ either side. Hope that helps

@@Astrobloke Thanks so much, I'm planning mine now and I really like how yours came out! Clear Skies!

Thank you. The camera has a nice sensor so helps resolve the image and bring out all the details

@@Astrobloke i think you'd get an cool image whatever the camera.

🙃

Thank you Pat. The L series are very popular and hopefully Optolong will let me have some more to play with 🤞. There are many choices out there now and filters for so many uses. The image container is very useful especially for mono editing. If you have a set series of processes you can build a process container too. Hope you are having better luck than us with the clear nights, take care mate.

Fantastic scope, have you had a chance to use it yet? What camera so you have on it ?

@@Astrobloke not yet Glenn, skies in Northern Ireland are ridiculous. I haven't been out since April!!! I've got asi533, asi183, asi585 and a canon 100d. Was thinking of pairing it with the 183 and keep the 533 on my skywatcher 150 quattro. However may put the 183 up for exchange for something with a larger sensor, though the small pixels are nice

@@Astrobloke Glenn, a wee query. Am I right to assume no spacers are required to make up for filters in the chain, like adding 0.6 mm spacer for a 1.8mm thick filter etc?

Hi Mark, it really helps make the image pop adding the Ha. The Altair 3nm SHO set are very good indeed and work well below F4, my Antlia set have had issues at this speed (Sii mainly) Will be releasing a video soon on them. Hope you are well and Obsy working great, clear skies

Hi Phil and thank you. Its been a pretty bad time astro weather wise. Even so called clear nights have been plagued by either high wispy clouds or a moon as bright as the sun. I need to sit down and make a structured approach to editing and get it down on video. I tend to be a little organic and just go where the image takes me and that can sometimes be a chaotic process. I’d look like a lunatic on video and as for following it….well 😂 Lets hope we get some better weather when Astronomical darkness returns, clear skies

Thank you for watching and commenting, glad you liked the video. The grease I use is superlube fully synthetic grease amzn.to/3C1zLk0 It works really well and does not become tacky. Good luck and clear skies

Looks like you got one of the good ones and at that guide performance I would leave well alone and just use it. My EQ8 R Pro is like that. Guides 0.3-0.4 so perfect out of the box. Clear skies

I use to have that camera. Whats nice is you can save a fortune and use the 1.25” filters. I was very pleased with the Optolong performance, would like to try their NB filters next

Wow you’re rude. Maybe you should sort your hearing out, I heard everything he said fine.

Sorry you feel like that. Its difficult to make creative content that pleases everyone. From 11,000 views however you are the only one to make this complaint. Maybe you should think about that.

@@Astroman5665 Or maybe you just don't understand how background noise can be annoying to some people?

@@Astrobloke I am not a child. I do not need to be entertained, with background music. I appreciate good *content* . I have never said ... Wow, this guy plays background music, his content must is better. Tell me how the background noise makes it easier, for me to hear what you are saying?

There are a lot of free and less expensive tools out there. I agree that some of the software is way too expensive. Over the years I have tried many and I hate to say it but nothing can beat Pixinsight for Astrophotography editing. It just works and is constantly improving. Siril which is similar is free and has come a long way but I doubt will ever truly match the power of Pixinsight. Was not aware of the ZWO tools but will take a look. Clear skies Woody

Thank you Siegfried. I want to make some editing videos in the future. Even though I keep changing my techniques it may help others some more. Have you had any clear skies? Last night was good here but its very hit or miss lately

Thank you. How have you been? Have you had many clear skies unlike us lately?

Thanks Jeremy. I thought this might help. Hope to have a voice over for you done tomorrow, if I get time. Don’t seem to get much anymore 🤣🤣

@@Astrobloke Thanks so much!

Hey Nugsy, your support is greatly appreciated mate. The Orion has made me look good over the years, still my favourite scope ever.
