1. Basic, yet extraordinarily helpful video, for people that want to get into astrophotography but don't know much about it.
   
   Nicely done Tim.
2. ED is Not a triplet lens. APO is triplet just saying. Nice vid.
3. I like your videos. You're an honest guy. Very useful for low budget guys. This market is flooded with guys using huge costly equipment. I like to follow people who accomplish things without taking out loans. Enjoy your work.
4. great tips Tim. Thanks
5. Nice video, happy shooting.
6. Awesome!
7. Great tips, thanks.
8. thanks tim
9. Thank you for this tutorial. I was wondering how to use a camera with a refracting telescope. Thank you.
10. Hello Tim; I enjoyed viewing your getting started in Astrophotography video. My questions relate to the Modern Photonics adapter you used with your micro four thirds camera. I also use a micro four thirds camera and have had trouble finding the Modern Photonics adapters you use. I am especially interested 48mm clear filter part # T2 FLT. I can source the t adapter and extension tube but can't find the filter on line anywhere. I would appreciate any help you could provide in sourcing these products.

11. Hi all, I too have just started out into the field of astrophotography and have just purchased a 6"Saxon Mak caasegrain and a deep space specially adapted camera that has had its light gathering ability greatly improved.
    I understand that by putting a Barlow lens onto the camera can improve that magnification quite a bit.
    I have an AZGO To tripod and figure on starting with something I can really see like the moon, and being new am interested if I need to collamate the scope before starting.
    However I have not seen much concerning this job and wish to know more.
    I was told that this. Type of scope rarely go need that sort of attention other than if they are banged quite hard or dropped, I wonder just how factual this is
    Would be glad to see any video dealing with this subject
