Wow, Alan, been a bit of time since we’ve seen you release a vlog but when you do, there’s no half measures. That was absolutely phenomenal and those images were simply breathtaking. Going need to watch this again, not to get the answers for the give away, but simply to let the chin hit the floor through looking at these images once more 👍🏼👍🏼

@kellyvodrey3367 5 лет назад

Polar alignment. . Panorama. . And fine tuning ... best of luck .. its a great prize .. thank you

@mixiah 5 лет назад

Really enjoyed these, lovely to see someone working hard and enjoying it. For the comp: 1. Panorama with 50% overlap for easier stitching 2. Minute adjustments on 2 axis 3. Degree markings to set latitude on the y axis for correct height

@BryanDillonPhotography 5 лет назад

It’s like your work is on a geared head... taking it up a Degree of excellence every new VLOG!!! 1) minute adjustments for tracking the solar eclipse with a telescopic lens 2) better Panoramic photographs making sure the degree of over lap is correct 3) polar alignment for the MSM sky tracker Cheers Alyn 👍🏻😁

@AlynWallace 5 лет назад

Haha thanks Bryan

@pkh540 5 лет назад

Oh, forgot one... No sagging! Fantastic videos! Now I really want to visit Chile. For the contest, 1. Panoramas 2. Polar alignment 3. Fine tuning / micro adjustments Now going o go check out Adrien’s stuff. Great work and thanks for bringing us along, cheers!

@tomwatphoto 5 лет назад

Awesome work mate, been looking forward to the vlog! ANSWERS; 1) absolute precision positioning/fine tuning 2) panos 3) mount for tracker/alignment

@Ed-yj8ts 5 лет назад

Thanks for putting in all of the work for this VLOG. Very useful. When you said 4,000 meters, I remembered Mauna Kea at night (same altitude). You can't think, walk, or talk well. Then the sickness.

@andylomas3692 5 лет назад

Stunning pictures! 1. Enables polar alignment using degree markers 2. Enables fine adjustments 3. Helps more precise panoramics

@curtis6861 5 лет назад

1. fine adjustments with no sag like a ballhead, easier to keep objects in frame. 2. Makes panos much easier. 3. Easy to polar align when using a tracker. Thanks Alyn! Great video as always!

@keegantheveganat0r 5 лет назад

loving the Chile vlogs man... Cheers for the advice on the Move Shoot Move! I got mine and it really is a boss bit of kit! I'm just waiting for some decent time off to coincide with some clear skies so i can proper check it out. For the benro competition the three ways you used the Geared head were for -Polar Alignment -Panorama's -Fine tuning

@cowboyspook 5 лет назад

Great nightscapes ! These are the first I've seen taken with an astro-modified SONY. The ways in which you used the Benro Geared Head: 1. Tracked panorama of the Milky Way core at Atacama. 2. Keeping the sun and moon centered during the total eclipse. 3. Panorama of the ALMA radio telescopes and the Milky Way.

@pkh540 5 лет назад

Fantastic videos! Now I really want to visit Chile. For the contest, 1. Panoramas 2. Polar alignment 3. Fine tuning / micro adjustments Now going o go check out Adrien’s stuff. Great work and thanks for bringing us along, cheers!

@ishaan90 5 лет назад

This head looks really useful. 1. Fine adjustment for the eclipse to keep framing and removing sag with heavy lenses 2. Panorama photography to get the right amount of overlap 3. Replacement for a wedge base for Polar alignment again for reducing sag and increasing precision in pointing at the 'celestial south pole'

@nightscapeimages.richard 5 лет назад

This was a truly remarkable video Alyn, one of your very best. It must be that beautiful southern hemisphere night sky that agrees with you ...!!! Well done, awesome images. Richard

That's awesome you are able to do a giveaway! The three things you mentioned: 1) Panoramic shots (some of my favorite) 2) Fine adjustments 3) Ability to polar allign Good luck and clear skies everyone! :D

@888marin888 5 лет назад

Absolutely wonderful video

@Phillyo118 5 лет назад

Great video! That altitude sickness would've broken me lol. 3 uses: 1) Small/fine adjustments that allowed you to keep the sun in the centre of the frame 2) Makes the process of making a panorma much easier than when using a ballhead plus no sag 3) Eases the polar alignment when using a tracker especially in southern hemisphere due to no Polaris.

@cstl9 5 лет назад

Beautiful shots! Kepp that benro gear in chile!! 1) take easier panoramas ahora. 2) polar alignment 3) precision for a perfectly shot

@TravelQuest 5 лет назад

So many milkyway pics in a single video .. that itself a great giveaway.. thanks .. for the video ..

@simondallimore8236 5 лет назад

Superb as always, Atacama the geared head was used with a move shoot tracker as a mount for polar alignment using a longer focal length, also for a tracked panorama, Solar eclipse:- used to keep the sun/moon in the centre of the frame when using the telephoto lens, Alma observatory:-used for a panorama of the 10 telescopes and the milky way allowing a 50% overlap

@gabriel-lanaro 5 лет назад

I had to pause the video in the last shot (18:44) to appreciate it a little longer, the colors are so beautiful, such an amazing photo, congratulations! You used the Benro Geared Head in your videos to do panoramas, polar aligment with the tracker and fine adjustments.

@cjusto 5 лет назад

Great videos! Thank You very much. Was following on social media, just discovered the RU-vid channel. The Benro Geared Head was used for making accurate tracking, fine adjustments and as a easy tool for making panoramic images quicker.

@Kabouterplop01 5 лет назад

Super crisp pano's Alyn, great vlog.

@doplinger1 5 лет назад

Those are some incredible shots Alyn! Thanks for sharing. The one in the gorge was my favorite.

@enlagrei3064 5 лет назад

1. Easier Panorama shots. 2. You can do fine adjustments. 3. You can use it as an equatorial wedge and polar align.

@MaliDaviesPhotography 5 лет назад

Wonderful vlog, worrying at one point, I thought your eye balls 👀 where going to pop out! Amazing set of images. Excellent vlog Alyn! I’ve never done Astro at all, and that’s going to change. Very inspiring bud 👍

@Astrolavista 5 лет назад

Absolutely incredible! I'm not ashamed to say I welled up a bit looking at these astonishing images, thanks so much for sharing!

@aaronuws 5 лет назад

Fine alignment of the tracker, macro (focus stacking), panoramic stitching and leveling. Love the adventures you take us on, keep them coming! And glad you both recovered from the high altitudes so quickly. Safe travels!

@photomaster1 5 лет назад

Wonderful, images granted I can find others who provide almost the same information, but one thing that made your video most interesting is that you provide the point of view that. Yes the world is a wonderful place but sometime you need to realize that, you make have to deal with some pain to take the images you like. 1. fine adjustment 2. making panorama photography 3. polar alignment

@AlynWallace 5 лет назад

No pain no gain

@smilingboypaul 5 лет назад

As always, top vlog! For the benro comp: 1) panoramas 2) polar alignment 3) for fine adjustments/alignment

Wow mate what a place. I love the place and your vlog. The answers to the competition are? Polar alignment Panarama photos Precise adjustments Keep doing what ya doing man it’s great 👍🇬🇧

@RobertBarsa 5 лет назад

Amazing video and totally breathtaking images, as always! Tee Benro Geared Head was used for: 1. Total eclipse using the telephoto lens to easily make fine adjustments to keep the sun/moon in the frame 2. Doing easier panoramas in the dark (to get proper overlap, ALMA observatory) 3. Polar alignment of the star tracker - fine adjustments and it is possible to set the latitude (southern hemisphere polar alignment challenge)

@lucapodda8559 5 лет назад

1: for fine adjustments when using a bazooka (during eclipse) 2: to take shots (and selfie!) of the ALMA antennas 3: To align the tracker (as in the southern emisphere there's no equivalent to Polaris) by using the scale on the head

@ArshadAli8611 2 года назад

Breathtaking place for astrophotography.

@andrewallan349 5 лет назад

Awesome vids bud. Tracking shots - for fine adjustments - polar alignments 😊

@chrisbridges9615 5 лет назад

hey mate, another cracking vlog you're getting so good! Thanks for the opportunity to win these goodies, here's my answers :- 1, In the ALMA vlog you used it to rotate the camera a certain number of degrees for 50% overlap 2, In the eclipse vlog you used it to keep the sun in the middle of the frame with minute adjustments 3, In the Atacama vlog you used it as a mount for polar alignment along side a tracker adjusting the axis with no sagging. *Fingers crossed*

@johnwelch4058 5 лет назад

Hi, the three uses you found for the Benro geared head were: 1) Making minute adjustments to keep the sun centred in the frame. 2) Making panoramas easier (especially in the dark) with the degree markings. 3) Setting polar alignment for use with your star tracker.

@darenknotts9739 5 лет назад

3 uses for #benro 1.Polar alignment, 2. Easier panoramic, 3.Fine adjustments, love the video, was worth the wait and love your work, thanks for sharing

@lorrettaclarke709 5 лет назад

The Benro 1) has a spirit level to make leveling easier 2) used the Benro geared head to make your polar alignment 3) using the geared head to make the pano easier BTW - I had altitude sickness once and afterwards I did a little digging into what not to do, and what you can do to prevent it. I have used altitude sickness tablets - and they were awful (made me sick, dehydrated me) I have found that the only way to prevent Altitude sickness, is to sleep between 5,0000 and 6,000 ft the night before (24 hours). Besides being ill, altitude sickness is dangerous,

@ricaaat 5 лет назад

Hey alyn, great video as always :) You used the benro equipment for 1) keeping the sun in frame(minor adjustments) 2)polar alignments with a tracker 3) small adjustments in panoramas to make them mire comfortable

@suleymanakg 5 лет назад

Really love the 50mm pano and the one with the lagoon, amazing as always man! 1. pano at Alma Observatory 2. As a wedge for easy polar alignment 3. Smooth tracking during eclipse

@AlynWallace 5 лет назад

@andrevandermeulen 5 лет назад

Great video again! Wish we had dark spots like this in the Netherlands... :-( Answers on your question: 1. During the Total eclipse to make fine adjustments using a telephoto lens 2. Using it for easier panoramas in the dark 3. Polar alignment of the star tracker like an equatorial wedge

@eliaxkxd8644 5 лет назад

The Benro Geared Head seems to be the perfect tripod head because: 1. You can keep panos level very easily, liek you did in when taking panos 2. You can make tiny adjustments to your composiotion, like during the solar eclipse 3. I guess it's also great for getting polar alingment if you use a star tracker

@lianalehua7424 5 лет назад

Thank you for this and all of your videos. Your teaching and vlogging style is helpful and interesting. I can't wait to receive my MSM which I ordered using your code. THANK YOU! I'm hopes of maybe winning your Benro contest... :) Atacama Desert using a longer focal length, you used the geared head as a mount to do the polar alignment Alma Observatory used to make a panorama of the Milky Way over the 10 satellites array Solar Eclipse super telephoto mounted, the Benro geared head helped you easily and quickly keep the sun in the middle of the frame with minute adjustments

On 9:20, There's a really faint meteor that passes on the top right. But anyways, I've been to a bortle 4 beach and saw the galactic core of the Milky Way, and this video shows me what we can truly see with the naked eye. Thank you so much for the inspiration you've gave me to go out in a bortle 7 and even take in the smallest amount of stars ans make them even bigger and brighter.

@stevenhundley8244 5 лет назад

Beautiful vlog as always. Your struggles with the altitude reminded me of the Top Gear foray to the Atacama and how they used Viagra to combat the sickness (just be careful when it causes a stiff neck;). Didn’t you use the gearhed for the eclipse and then again at the observatory for panoramas and here for alignment. Keep up the beautiful work and looking forward to the next one.

@EricMilewski 5 лет назад

Great photos! Polar alignment Fine adjustment Panorama photography

@gilbertoflorenciodesouzajr455 5 лет назад

Awesome vlog Alyn. The answers for the Benro giveaway are: 1. Keeping the sun and the moon in the center of the frame with a super telephoto lens (total solar eclipse) 2. Easily rotating the camera for great panoramas (ALMA observatory) 3. Polar aligning with a star tracker (Atacama desert) Cheers

@Maxi86inAction 5 лет назад

Really nice captures Alyn :O Here are the three ways you used the Benro Geared Head: - This video: Easy alignment to the Earth's rotating Point in the Night sky (no PolarStar in the Souther hemisphere) - Alma Telescope: Easier and quicker panoramas by rotating the camera and keeping the vertical/horizontal angle - Solar Eclipse: Fine Adjustments when shooting with longer focal lengths (it helps that the geared head has no sag after alignment) So that's from me, I really love your videos and I have been following your journey for a while now. I hope I will also get into astrophotography at some time, I just don't have the equipment and possibilites right now though :D Keep it up Alyn

@stoiannicusor3766 5 лет назад

@rickymcc9072 5 лет назад

Hi Alyn Love your work, thanks for sharing. Query on kit re panoramas - do you use an indexed rotator? All my pano shots have been quite simple so far. I have yet to start serious astro shooting albeit that is one of my goals. I have to carefully set angle of rotation (e.g. 15 degrees) manually - easy enough when doing say 2-3 shots in daylight, but more trouble in dark with the numbers of shots to stitch that you are demonstrating here. Ditto with rows of panos. Looks complex and time consuming and could easily be spoilt if making one setting error amongst multiple shots. If say shooting 20 sec exposures multiplied by say a 7 pano in 3 rows or 21 shots..... that's a cumulative 7 min shoot time plus adjustment set-up. Not to mention stitching time and complexity in post. I suspect an indexed rotator would be a big help? Perhaps even better (if it exists) a pre-programmable gimbal that could handle all movement steps for you - just executng your pre-defined plan e.g. from defined central position x .... make 5 shot pano in 3 rows. Any thoughts re feasability and could a gimbal replace your clock movement to track star movement?

@AlynWallace 5 лет назад

I use a Leofoto lep-02 for big panoramas
