It's finally "STARTING" Cosmic Colorado 14ers project episode 2 

3°F is -16°C. That's cold, and I admire both your pictures and dedication.

Really love what you’re doing! Great shots!

That's my country... if you need a local let me know...

Yeah, I have done the same thing, forgot to turn off my VR and I was so frekin out in a cold night, and finally figured it out.

Btw my favourite temperature is 25°C. Was staying in Mallorca and sitting in the warmth wearing a T Shirt shooting a 1 hour full arc Pano. Such a nice experience!

Thanks a lot Alex for all your efforts to Share your work. It is always fun for me to listen to kind explainations, ist helps me a lot!

Man, you easily get a thumbs up from me! I'm good with about 40-45 F. However, I'll easily take colder if I can get a calm, clear night. And believe me, where I live they are pretty darn rare.

My favorite temperature for shooting at night is between 60 and 70 degrees, assuming low humidity. Living in Michigan, I have to assume high humidity at all times, so I have three lens warmers that are always with my gear - 1 for my full frame, unmodified camera, and 2 for my tracker kit - modified crop sensor and guide scope. I used to live in Colorado, but my brother, who also does astrophotography, still lives there. I'm not sure if he's seen your channel, but I'm going to share it with him. The Collegiate and Spanish Peaks are right in his back yard. I'm wanting to go back someday and photograph the Milky Way over Blanca Peak, from within the glacier bowl to the north that's formed from all the shoulder mountains around it. If you beat me to it, I look forward to seeing your images.

Yeah, it's super annoying that Canon's cameras now include such useful features as built-in bulb timer *and* interval timer, ...but they couldn't spend the few extra dollars on their software designers' time to implement another menu page for doing both at once LOL. Oh well!

BTW, my guess about the tracked exposures was that your warm tripod legs were melting the snow lol. It happened to me before, at least I think! Oh, and the resulting image? Stunning. That foreground is gorgeous, the sky is flawless... Thanks for doing all this hard work, and thanks for explaining the BTS so that other photographers can know what goes into creating *real* images.

Wow thanks for taking as long! it is such an awesome experience being there with you! Already watched your third Episode and I'm happy that you got out of it safe and sound. Have you ever considered using planit pro instead of photopills? It is able to use the ground height information to draw a view of the scene from your viewpoint? I now scouting in the daytime is way better, but time is always of the essence. Where I live I don't have any mountains so planit pro is of no use to me but there are many famous astro photographers like Benjamin Barakat or Uros Fink who use it for planing!

Loved this! Stunning pictures. Just found your channel and subscribed :). Going for my first astrophotography shoot this in February (it will probably be around 4 degrees celsius here in the uk, that's about 30 F , don't think I could handle any less haha. Bought a 24mm and will be on my canon 6D. So excited! Ok, will go watch some more of your videos now and hopefully get some more tips!

Such a cool project, happy to see your progress! Being from the Midwest I'm used to freezing temps, but now living in the Southeast, I'm happy we're getting unusually cold nights right now for astro, but that is still "only" 35-50 F. Are you using anything special like StarStax for the star trail time-lapse? They look great.

Great adventure and even greater dedication man 😅.

What a nice astro Vlog Alex! Enjoyed it thoroughly! Btw, is that an edge on galaxy right next to the comet at 14:21 ?

I really like the star trail video.. I have never done one like that.. do you have a video about those? Would like to give that a go sometime.
