Episode 11 - OSC Filters, where to start?
03/12/24 • 56 min
Looks like this went live a little early, enjoy! No clue why it's saying 3/12, but this is indeed for today (3/26/24).
Welcome BACK Astro fam! Sorry I was gone - I missed you all! Unfortunately, I was not on vacation, but rather our beloved cat Biscuit passed away. She was with me for 16 years after I found her in a bush at an office park as a tiny little kitten, where I worked at in my 20's. She will be greatly missed. I'm happy to be back though, and this week's episode is a great one!
We're talking about FILTERS for one shot color cameras! We talk about where to start, what you should get, what to expect, and how much to spend. I give 3 great examples of various filters that can take on various jobs that range from DSLR Cameras to Cooled Astro Cams.

Episode 9 - Let's talk Astro
*Quick note!* There was a few strange artifacts with last nights upload that I noticed - so i'm doing a quick reupload - this should resolve the issue. Thanks! Sorry for the trouble!
This week on the Astrocast - we get in to a little bit of everything. The skies FINALLY clear over Charlotte, NC and Roo quickly takes advantage with a friend. We talk about a few beautiful new Refractors from William Optics, as well as what that dream trip to Bortle 1 skies in the Southern Hemisphere would be like.

Quick update on this weeks episode!
Hey Astro Fam! We unfortunately lost our beloved pet cat, Biscuit, Sunday, and it's thrown my schedule a bit out of whack this week. I'm almost done with this weeks episode, but it will likely be up Thursday this week due to the delay. Thanks for understanding, we'll be back in no time!
