Thats the best breakdown for beginner astro-photography I have ever seen...delivered by two very competent people..... thank you so much...!

@RobTrek Год назад

Wow, thank you!

@hellsing0999999999 Год назад

YES! Just what I needed! I love astrophotography, and I've learned a lot from RU-vid, but almost no one has a particular video for OM/Olympus cameras! I hope you make another for editing these pictures.

@RobTrek Год назад

Glad it was helpful! I'll do a follow up video next week. There is certainly a lot to cover. Thanks.

@samsen3965 Год назад

May the dark deep sky only be your limits & Way to Go.

Thanks!

@RTFM70 Год назад

Thanks Rob and Ben. A very informative video and the results look great.

@RobTrek Год назад

Thanks, Jeff. Good to hear from you.

@derekgpony 2 месяца назад

Great video! Thank you. Hoping for some clear skies on days off to try out some astro this summer. You and Ben are such great advocates for Olympus (OM Systems). I've had my eye on the 300 f4 and OM-1 for some time for astro and wildlife. Already have the 100-400mm and the EM1iii. It would be cool to see a shoot-out between the two lenses for deep sky.

@RobTrek 2 месяца назад

I'm sure they would optically perform about the same. The key difference being you need longer exposures or "lights" on the 100-400.

@Barryferg100 Год назад

Great topic to cover, like how Rob you make it look easy (actually asking Ben for clarification, thanks for expertise Ben). Will be checking out the Narrow Band channel next. 💫⚡️🪐⭐️

@RobTrek Год назад

Definitely check ouut Ben's channel. I created a playlist of Ben's Olympus related stuff here: ru-vid.com/group/PLyBjgg0NvOrPP1sxJBUU_nyQQ-s6Dn9Lg

@rodmehta5356 Год назад

Very cool shots! Hope you guys are going well. 🌟

@RobTrek Год назад

Thanks! You too!

@ericlundquist3466 Месяц назад

I'll have to give all this a shot when at the beach home in Cape Charles. There's too much light pollution in Fairfax and certainly wouldn't attempt this in winter. You both look frozen, lol Great video. The setup looks damn expensive. 300mm gonna cost me, but i want it anyways for nature

@kamilrakowski23 Год назад

Nice video Rob. I haven't used my tracker for over a year. Unfortunately, the weather in Denmark is unpredictable. Typical scenario in my case: What a beautiful clear night! Let's go out of town and take some pictures of andromeda! 70km later - it's raining. It's time to go back. I am surprised how good your result was. My sky adventurer couldn't handle the 40-150 pro. 30-40 seconds was all i could achieve. I haven't even tried the 300mm f4. Good luck with your asteophotography! Good weather and dark nights.

@39zack Год назад

Here im looking at msybe getting the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer 2i WiFi Pro Pack and then this video drops in my face 😮 I think you guys are mind readers

@RobTrek Год назад

I'm sure the advertising algorithms had a little to do with it. But I am a bit psychic.

@jakobhovman Год назад

Hullo you two "Night Owls...Thank You for a inspirational demo and video...! Great setup Rob. Idea: For night vision...Why not tape a red filter on your screens...? Kodak 75mm #25 Red Tricolor Wratten 2 Optical Filter (3 x 3") or something similar... Greetings

@RobTrek Год назад

Thanks for the idea!

@desertfrag Год назад

Manual focus I assume? Really important to use live view to get pinpoints instead of blobs. You know you're close when faint stars 'pop' into view. Impressive work to use a 300mm on that mount!

@TheNarrowbandChannel Год назад

Oly cameras have an aAf system called Starry Sky AF that can focus on stars. It is more accurate than using a bahtinov mask.

@RobTrek Год назад

Thanks. Olympus added Starry Sky AF to the EM1.3 and OM-1, now the OM-5, so it's easy. Not that manually focusing was that hard with magnify feature.

@desertfrag Год назад

@@TheNarrowbandChannel AF for adapted lenses also or Olympus only?

@TheNarrowbandChannel Год назад

@@desertfrag Olympus only as far as I know.

@gilles987654321 Год назад

Great team, precious suggestions, tks to both! I have the MoveShootMove (MSM) but an EQ mount is SO MUCH better! Hint: I mounted the MSM laser pointer onto the OM-1 hot shoe and it greatly facilitates visual star alignment...

@RobTrek Год назад

Thanks for sharing!

@gilles987654321 Год назад

@@RobTrek another tip, Rob. I tried HiRes on the moon: stupendous! However, only the Tripod version worked: handheld fights too much with the autotracker and does not resolve.

@d-entrecasteaux Год назад

Nice run through of how to do astrophotography. My problem is finding a good dark sky site. Sky Meadows has a meet-up in Northern Virginia once a month organised by NOVAC which is a pretty good location for me.

@RobTrek Год назад

Thanks. Sky Meadows is not that far from me, just a little over an hours drive. Email me rob@robtrek.com with details of the NOVAC. I'd love to go.

@mihaidavid359 Год назад

Can you guys test the 9mm f/1.7 Pana-Leica lens? How it performs for milky way astro? 😁

@RobTrek Год назад

Unfortunately, neither of us own that lens, so won't be able to do a test.

@Vincenzo-bm1up Год назад

Is the MoveShootMove hopeless with the M.300mm F4? Thanks

@RobTrek Год назад

Ben and I have not used this tracker, so can't really say.

@nickhill1425 Год назад

Hi Rob and Ben, I'm interested why you let the camera to run the time-lapse instead of using the Skywatcher running the shoot move shoot time-lapse. Why do you use the camera intervalometer in the camera and not the Skywatcher for the job. I have a Skywatcher Adventurer Mini I've only ever used the Mini to run the time-lapse triggering the camera. I hope you can answer my query. cheers.

@RobTrek Год назад

Hi Nick. I didn't have the 2.5mm cable to connect it to the tracker. Ben uses his. I ordered one the other day so will be trying that next.

@nickhill1425 Год назад

@@RobTrek Thanks, that's a simple explanation no hidden tricks to chase up for the amateur.

@TheNarrowbandChannel Год назад

Looks like I did have the AF off. Sorry about that.

@RobTrek Год назад

Not a problem, just a bit ironic.
