First Light - EAA with Celestron Origin Home Observatory - Multiple Targets FAST

In this video, I get the opportunity to use the Celestron Origin home observatory and capture first light with EAA (Short Exposures). This is NOT intended to be a test of the advanced settings of the equipment.

4:49 Waking up to a Successful Night of Astrophotography

I could not believe how easy Origin was to set up and get imaging. The whole setup took me no more than fifteen minutes, and once hooked up to the WiFi the telescope takes less than three minutes to start up and initialize, focus and plate solve its starting position. From there, you simply choose your first object to image through the tonight’s best list, search menu, or interactive sky map.

This has fundamentally changed my personal expectations of astrophotography. The easy of use and time that I save will now allow me to image more nights than I have ever felt were possible, and has opened up the possibilities for more people to experience our amazing hobby of amateur astronomy.

Note: The images shown in this video represent short snapshots of the objects, and by no means represents the full capabilities of Origin. I purposefully wanted to bounce around and check out a bunch of objects. Most stacks averaged around 10 minutes or so. See exact times in the video.
