Quick update on this weeks episode!

03/19/24 • 0 min

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!

Episode 11 - OSC Filters, where to start?

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 12 - Building the Ultimate Widefield Rig

Welcome back to the ASTROCAST! In this special, EXTRA LONG episode, Roo takes you through the EXACT steps of building the ULTIMATE widefield rig! If you've ever wondered exactly what you would need to build a perfect widefield imaging rig for astrophotography, than this episode is for you!
Roo takes you through exactly which pieces you need, and exactly what each piece DOES in this collection of gear to create your own ultimate Wide Field imaging rig for Astrophotography, along with every price, and what is and isn't a must have!
This episode is dedicated to Ting-Ting, who was laid to rest on 4/1/24 after 19 year of being Roo's best pet friend in the world. Just 2 weeks after losing Biscuit, we unfortunately lost Ting-Ting, now we have no felines left in the Page household :(
Note: This week we have a LOT of links, so rather than post them all on the episode, i've created a Google Doc which has them all. TinyURL also wasn't functioning properly, so this will be easier to download/access for you as needed:
