    Thank your for an excellent educational video!!! I have seen many videos about the ASIAIR+ that I have and even the most well known UA-cam profiles sadly totally miss e.g. what sub-category they enter. You are super easy to follow and I am truly appreciative!!! 👏 I know this is asking a lot but since I have "found you" can you recommend one/several videos that go through the entire process from setting up to starting a photo session? Having spent hours/days to get a full process, watching 25 minute videos just to realise they are useless is so frustrating.... If it makes any difference I have the ASIAIR+, Sky-Watcher EQ6R-Prro, Explore Scientific ED80, ZWO EAF, Explore Scientific 250x60 mm guide scope, ZWO ASI120 Mini and Canon EOS D70.

    If they can see millions of light years away they can see a pebble on the moon. They never went there because they can’t go there. NASA is a tax consuming money making scam. They lost all the technology to go there according to NASA. How convenient. Dumb masses.

    Would you recommend these with a "smart telescope" like the upcoming Celestron Origin? I started out last year getting a Seestar S50 and really like the idea of the Origin being the "Rolls Royce of smart telescopes" and want to make sure I am A) choosing a good telescope to purchase and B) picking out the correct filters I am going to need. Thank you, and great video / images!

    Question, I'm generally curious. Is the apollo 11 flag still there? I know it's bleached white, and fell over. But due to know wind, it couldn't have been blown by dust. So to anyone who knows can you actually verify?

    Thing is tho. Tho things hubble sees are all in a piece of sky the size of your thumb or smaller. It should be able to see it.... Unless the universe isn't as big as they think and their telescopes are all not as great as magnifying as they assume..... Like the fish should be about the same size as one of those galaxies and puts off alot more light to collect way faster... And actually I'm kinda giving science a chance cause the photos hubble takes are way zoomed in... And those galaxies are pin pricks that look like nothing when you zoom out... So how can it not see the flags again....
