Great video Matthew, I will be doing a month long road trip in a few days time and I will be doing some timelapses. With the delay between shots how long do you normally leave? this is for when you want to track the core through the night sky while using a 2 axles motorised gimbal.
Thanks for sharing. I got the opportunity to see a rocket launch in 2018. Unbelievable experience. I shared a pretty cool montage of the journey to my channel.
Once again, even the reputed experts don’t understand what type of noise that Long Exposure Noise Reduction eliminates and the difference between thermal noise and read noise. So you’ve given poor advice. LENR eliminates hot pixels from thermal noise. Noise reduction later in post smooths out read and shot noise, not thermal noise. The latter can be eliminated later in post only by applying destructive filters such as Dust & Scratches which will wipe out details and eliminate stars. LENR will be especially essential on hot Australian nights. Turn it off only if you are shooting star trails of time-lapses requiring minimal intervals between frames. There’s a reason Canon and every manufacturer includes LENR, and it isn’t to reduce sensor read noise.
I know this is an old question. But, the very first time I shot astrophotography, I was able to get some absolutely stunning results on my T4i using a Sigma 18-35mm F1.8. That lens is just magical... Unfortunately I had to let it go when I moved up to a full frame camera.
