Let me know if these tips worked for you, and what lens/camera combo you used!

@jasonpressler7111 Год назад

William's optics gt 81, zwo 1600mm, 8 slot filter wheel with (LRGB SII,OIII,HA), Sesto senso focuser, Explorer scientific exos 2 goto mount, WO guide scope with zwo 120mm mini, N.I.N.A on the ol laptop 2-15 min exposures, Obviously i am not a beginner , but this was an excellent presentation to get people into night time photography, everyone has to start somewhere. The only thing i would add to this is Batinov masks and dew bands. But for a beginner this is perfect amount of info they need to start, because we both know this field goes deep and you find yourself not going out much.... mostly because you spent all of the money on your astrophotography addiction. ohhh i almost forgot one key point, if anyone has an interest in this kind of astrophotography or DSO, start practicing stacking and processing now. Most people share their raw data on places like astrobin and telescopius Take those photos and practicing stacking in DSS and finish editing in which ever program you prefer. If you are ready to make the JUMP to DSO go ahead and pick up the free trial of Pixinsight, it is far more powerful as it is specifically designed for astronomy.... it is also the hardest program to learn and Photoshop experience doesn't help that much as all of the tools and processes are different. Monochrome doesn't use ISO, so you will have to relearn a lot. i do not, repeat do not recommend beginners try monochrome narrowband imaging, get one shot color experience first.

I live on beach and have put in a lot of time trying to shoot the Milky Way. It's been a struggle without success but this tutorial will definitely help. Thank you so much!!

I had tried astro photography in the past before watching this video and never really had any success. Went out on a backcountry trip after watching this with my Nikon D500 and a simple 18-55 and took one of my all-time favourite shots using this information. Thanks!

Really appreciate you for the detailed explanation and demonstration. I got some cool pictures of the milky way with my sony a7iii and sigma 24-70 pretty much following these tips.

CAMERA Settings: - Camera Mode: Manual - Screen Brightness: 20% (3 out of 10) - White Ballance: around 3800k - Aperture: f2.8 - or lowest - Shutter Release - wired, wireless or 2sec delay. - Image compression: RAW - ISO: FX 3200 - 6400, DX 1600-3200 - Exposure: 500 / 20 (lens mm) = 25 seconds (better at 15-20) - Focus - 2 ways: 1 - Focus on the far clouds during the day and mark the spot on the lens with a marker. 2 - Focus on a bright star (+ magnify on live screen)

@c.i.a.3384 2 месяца назад

Star tracker removes the 500 rule and you can just do what ever exposure you want. Stop down the f stop from 1.4 to 2.8 for more sharpness and less astigmatism and coma especially if you’re tracking and can afford longer exposures. Use a 3 way instead of a ball head on the tripod because easier to compose and polar align if tracking (v and a plates are the best). Use photoshop to blend foreground and tracked sky.

@ScutuRC 2 месяца назад

True, and I use a star tracker as well, is just that not everyone here has one and many still try shoot the stars .. @@c.i.a.3384

I just bought my very first "serious" camera (Sony A7 iii) after watching a bunch of your videos. One of the top priorities is Astrophotography and this video makes me so excited to get my first camera and go out into the night. I love your videos and you seem like a really cool guy. Thank you for teaching!

@HaggenKennedy Год назад

13:00: "I use contrast to do that, and not exposure, otherwise my stars will also get dark." This tip alone is worth the video. Having said that, I'm very glad that's just the tip of the iceberg, and that there is so much more to this video. Thank you for your content!

@galxctus1172 I've worked in very remote regions on Alaska ( pretty much can't get further from human light sources anywhere in US) and it still doesn't look like photos. That said the more muted color and intensity of real life brings I felt much more in person. I've seen bright dancing northern light of many colors that would need to be shot in video (or subsecond exposure) to avoid the whole canvas becoming a massive overexposed blob of light

I just found your channel yesterday (1/21/2023) and I've been binge-watching all your videos. You are a fountain of useful information. My wife and I will be in Mackinaw City, Michigan where there is a place named Headlands International Dark Sky Park. I had planned to go there to shoot the night sky, but I KNOW my photos will be MUCH BETTER after learning the tips you just provided on this video. Unfortunately, we will be there between May 11 and 13 and there will be some moonlight in the sky. I'm 66 and ready to retire, but what a great hobby it would be for my wife and me to tour the country, take great photos, and maybe even sell some on stock photography sites. First, though, I think it's time to replace my aging Sony A100 with a more up-to-date camera and some great lenses. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I truly appreciate it!

@Guoenyi 11 месяцев назад

One extra tip is you shoud make sure your fore ground (e.g. the church in this video) is sufficiently far from camera so your wide aperture will not blur it out. If you have to have close fore ground then you will have to close aperture and deal with star streak, long exp noise and high iso noise. The latter two can get fixed to some degree in LR but it is ideal to not have them at all.

@joshuarose3081 Месяц назад

That tip of using contrast as opposed to exposure to adjust the gradient filter on the sky was just great. I often forget that those options exist. I wonder, have you tried adjusting the luminosity slider when using the gradient tool?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I like many are beginning/amateur photographers. I watch hundreds of hours on RU-vid and read many books and articles of photographers describing theory. That is great but what nobody does is explain what they do first, then second, etc. or give some direction of how to apply that theory. The second half of this video was the first time someone in real time showed what they actually do to produce a photo and not just tell us the vague theory. Please do more of this. PLEASE! It was such an eye opener, and way more than you realize, for us to fully understand what you are telling us to do. I used to do in-service training and was taught to "Tell-Show-Do" and that is exactly what you do that others do not. Thank you! I have several cameras Canon M50, Canon T5i, and a Canon 5D Mark II. Besides other lenses I guess my best lens I have to do MilkyWay would be a 50mm 1.8 or a 24-105 L 4.0 or a EFS-24 1:2.8
