I forgot youtube discontinued the use of annotations and end screen elements together so I added a card at 0:25. This is my third episode of Astrophotography 101. I have a couple more videos in the works for this series. I plan to cover ISO invariance and milky way panoramas. Videos covering the subjects of astro-timelapses, DSO imaging, and post-processing are up and coming as well. A "tips and tricks" video for landscape photography will be my next video on this channel.

The video should be the gold standard for any filmmaker who wants to explain something to other people. no confused talk, crystal clear announce, pure rational information. when you see this video, you realize how bad other videos are.

Thank you very much for this praise. I agree I do prefer videos that get straight to the point with no extra information or babble about affiliate codes, sponsors, or other useless information. My goal is always to deliver information clearly and concisely, and I am glad you appreciate that. Sorry for taking so long to respond to your comment, I am just now getting back into RU-vid and making videos again.

Woo Hoo! I am just dipping my toes into astrophotography, and already own the Tamron 15-30 lens as a landscape photographer. I was wondering if I would be better off buying another lens, but think this will work for me, and it gives me the money I might have spent on more glass, getting a filter holder and filters for this lens.

@ivankiefer3886 4 года назад
I bet the new sigma 35 1.2 has to be amazing for it. How do you find the 2.8 when i came to gather light and also have you try wider angle lenaes les than 35 what do you think?
@Apalapse
@Apalapse 3 года назад
35mm f1.2 will gather so much more light than the f2.8, but f2.8 is stll enough to do some seriously good astro work.

Hello, Thanks a lot for this well explained video. Question: Can I use a Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 on Canon 1100d (APS-C (22.2 x 14.8 mm)not full frame )? can I use it on a sony camera if I upgrade in future ?
@basilbcf
@basilbcf 5 лет назад
I bought the Rokinon 14mm f2.8 specifically to try my hand at Milky Way photography! Wow, what a great lens for the money! And the lack of AF isn't an issue since in all likelyhood you need to manually focus the stars anyway. Another piece of kit I bought that is fantastik for MW shots is the iOptron StarGuider Pro. This is easy to use and allows you to track the stars, thus allowing longer exposure times.
@Apalapse
@Apalapse 4 года назад
Wow, both products sound like they're working great for you, that's nice to hear! The Rokinon 14mm f2.8 is one of the best value astrophotography lenses currently available. I have not experimented much with star trackers, only a couple of times with a rental, but they dramatically impvoe image quality. Thanks for commenting and sharing your experiences. Clear skies!
@szilardtube
@szilardtube 6 лет назад
Hi, great vid. What do you think about sigma 17-50 2.8 hsm lens. I just bought one for travel, portrait and stars photography. Was it a good idea? I'm also have a canon 10-18 stm lens, which is nice wide but I guess too slow for the stars.
@georgemotaph
@georgemotaph 5 лет назад
Hey Apalapse, nice recommendations. Thank you. But I have a questions and I hope you can help me. I have the canon m50 camera and I’m thinking about to lenses that can help me to make photos with the Milky Way. The canon 22mm f2 or the 50mm f1.4. I don’t know which one is better for...
@alphaphotoandvideo
@alphaphotoandvideo 5 лет назад
I own a 70D crop sensor, would i gain a lot quality if upgrade to 6D? I also own the Rokinon 14mm 70d+14mm =20min exposure 6D+14mm= 30 min exposure

Thanks for such a detailed review. I'm looking to do some Milky way photography with a Nikon D7500 but am confused whether to buy a Tokina 11-16 f2.8 or a Tokina 11-20 f2.8. I've read some pretty good reviews about the 11-16 but also that it gives a hard time to focus at infinity, which I believe is essential to photograph the milky way. Kindly advise which lens should I go with?

Hi, this is a good instructional video to learn. In relation to the subject of astrophotography, of all the mentioned lenses which would be the most suitable to use it in my camera canon 77D with APS-C sensor? Any help to choose between so many lenses will be of great help.

Thanks for this video. I'm thinking about getting an equatorial mount tracker to get longer exposures, but one thing excites me even more than stacking several dozen one minute exposures, and that is Lucky Imaging. Could you please do a video on this? You don't even need a tracker for lucky imaging.

What are your thoughts/advice on Rokinon 12mm/F2 and Sigma 16mm/F1.8? I am a beginner and am thinking that if I get a new lens its something I can use in the future. A lens that I can use for Northern lights, nighttime photography, and landscape photography. Any advice/recommendations for me?

I’m in love with my Tamron 15-30 I got it canon mount because it was on sale and use it on my Sony but didn’t realize when buying the mc-11 mount that it always hunts for focus and never really finds it . I’ve heard the metabones adapters are ok with them but the adapters are so expensive!
@Apalapse
@Apalapse 6 лет назад
The MC-11 works well with some lenses. I never noticed any AF issues with my adapted Tamron when using Single Point, but I never tested it extensively. Effectively adapting non-Sony lenses is very expensive indeed! I am in the process of getting native wide angles.
@scottsmith4145

Fantastic production and presentation! The only thing that would have made it better is if you had talked about the limitations of crop sensors and how using a speed booster can really help level the playing field with full frame equipment.
@Apalapse
@Apalapse 4 года назад
Excellent point, Scott. I am sorry I have taken so long to respond to this, I am just getting back into RU-vid and looking at my comments now. Speedboosters are a fantastic way of getting more light onto an APS-C sized sensor and I hope to make a dedicated video about this soon. I personally have not had experience with them yet as all my bodies are full frame but have seen amazing examples on RU-vid and other sites. Thanks for watching and for the great feedback.

@twmUX
@twmUX 6 лет назад
buy anything that is super wide, but has the widest aperature. Remember, you have to multiply not only the focal length by 1.5 (Crop factor sensor) but also the aperature. So if its 2.8, its not really letting in that much light due to crop sensor. Try to get 1.8 or even 1.4 so you can really get 2.8.Look up Tony Northup, he has videos on this very thing.
@flightscapeaviationphoto
@flightscapeaviationphoto 6 лет назад
Just saw this video. Great info. Do you have any experience yet with this new line of wide angle lenses from Irix ? They make an 11mm f/2.8 and 15mm f/2.4 I believe.
@Apalapse
@Apalapse 6 лет назад
I don't have any personal experience with those lenses, but I have heard great things about them in the astrophotography community. Just from specifications, the Irix 15mm f2.4 would be great due to its wide focal length, fast aperture, and low distortion and aberration properties. I also believe it can accept normal filters, a quality not shared by other lenses in that focal range.
