Deep SkyLab — let’s see what we see.
I’m Francisco, a beginner learning in public. I test astro myths and gear so you don’t waste clear nights. Expect real-sky experiments with side-by-sides, fair rules (same target, same night), no hype, just data. Weekly(-ish), we rotate through three segments: Mythbusting (common beliefs, put to the test), Astro Oddities (quirky/vintage hardware that still slaps?), and 3D-Printed Tech (prints that actually help under the stars). You’ll see smart scopes (SeeStar), first-rig builds (Z61 + trackers), DSLR vs cooled OSC face-offs, EQ mode, wedges, guiding, filters, and simple, beginner-level processing—with the WHY explained as we go. Ask questions in the comments; I’ll test what you want next. Start with “Smart Scope vs First Rig,” then stick around for old-vs-new shoots and quick field guides. Clear skies!

Move photons instead of your OTA. Firing up this ancient Starlight Xpress Active Optics unit. I got it to work a year ago, let’s see if it still does!

StellaVita V2 UI Beta Testing In progress. Working on the full video, take a look, I really like this new UI. Ive had this device since you could only buy it on #aliexpress , and honestly i havent used it much since because the UI left a lot to be desired. This new UI looks fantastic. What questions do you all have on this? #ToupTek #stellaVita

This is the flaming star nebula i shot a few days ago with the ‪@dwarflabofficial‬ #DWARFmini This is crazy coming from such a small device. 133x images at 45 seconds. Thanks again to #dwarflabs for sending me this unit for review!
