Very small 😂😂😂😂😂

Last nights star trails, ISS at the star and maybe a fire ball at 25s lower right corner.

I upped the ISO to 1600 and im not sure if I can see any difference? Also changed the recording aspect ratio.

You're getting a lot of use from your gopro that's great, could try it on a meteor shower too

Im hoping we get good weather on the showers, with both of our cameras running I have high hopes.

Trying lots of daytime, footage as well, that is been far more problematic.

And for the South view with a cheeky ISS all done by Sam.

Its a stress till you get the workflow second nature, and as Olly says thats makes it all so much simpler, but still need a good workflow.

I had the North my partner had the south view last night.

Hoping to get a shield installed on that light.

Setup North facing which is far from the good view here thanks to the street lights, cables etc, but it work

As a rookie, I’ve grown more interested in lunar observing and want to get closer details of the surface of the moon, as I’m interested in lunar sketching and don’t just want to sketch the whole of the moon each time. As much as I don’t have the envious setup of most on SGL contributors have, I own a Celestron Travelscope 70, I’d like to see how much I can push this scope to see what detail I see on the lunar surface.

I have a variety of eyepieces and a 2x Barlow - do you have any suggestions (apart from purchasing a new scope) on how I may be able to get closer to the features of the moon???

Thanks in advance

you need Aperture and as much of it as you can get for this kind of goal.

This might give some pointers , it not 100% what your looking for.

Slow learning process this video editing malarky !!! Trimmed the capture to remove white sky periods as i scheduled the GoPro to start at 9 and had to trim off dawn etc.

ISS Data 

Now edited

Visiting relatives and a nice chance to use the gopro 11 last night. Minimum trail length this session.

Once again, imaged with Paul Kummer using RASA 8, ASI2600MC Pro and Avalon Linear.

This is a small planetary for 400mm of FL and the image is simple one shot colour with no added narrowband.  3 hours. This is a very tight crop.  A lovely object which I've never imaged before.

i see a lot of. is it flux in the black did you choose to take it out due to lack of data or due to it not really been the target?

Can't open the video.

Not sure it just plays in the post for me.

Attached the GoPro 11 to the back Bedroom window last night this adds to the light pollution but wanted to try it out. (10pm till past dawn (she didn't object)....)

Self aligning mount, self tracking ccds, AI controlled exposure / calibration.

This may already be around now, Im out the loop/

what are you using to capture?

I think at 5 seconds around the middle I caught a dead on  shooting star one also appears at 9 seconds

taken with my Gopro 11

Mathematiocal physics aside, there is something odd about the idea somebody (by defintion part of something) looking 

could that mean something measuring?

Well the question in my mind, outside of theoretical models does the state nothing actually exist or is there always bit of something be it virtual or not.

They're quite good for meteor showers but the batteries don't last long at all. And they get incredibly hot.

the way round batteries and overheating is to use a power bank I have one coming

that's got the plough, is this an all sky camera in the making?

its a multi use camera in the making, will do action, driving, Holidays a bit of astro (nightlapse and trails)
