Episode 19 - Milky Way Mosaics, and Polar Alignment

Welcome back to The Astrocast! Thanks for waiting an extra week longer than normal, Roo needed a break as he has been in full CRUNCH mode at his day job, and as this is a one man band, occasionally we all need a little time off!

This week, we get into Milky Way Panorama/Mosaic photos, how to do a Polar alignment from start to finish and talk about some cool stuff you may or may not know about Polaris.

If you're interested in supporting the show, you can throw in to the Patreon here! Special thanks to our newest member, Wiley!

If you are wanting to also take panoramic/mosaic photos of the Milky Way, here are the parts you'll need to sit on your star tracker/tripod!

The Ballhead Base
The Panorama Base
The Altitude Base

You may also want to purchase an L bracket, so you can mount your camera Vertically (portrait mode) on top of the setup.

Special thanks to John Rutter Photography, here is a link to his excellent video that shows you exactly how to put these pieces together so you can make your own Milky Way panoramas. 

Thanks so much for tuning in to the show, we'll see you next week! Clear Skies!
