I can't wait to watch this! Thanks for posting Ian!

This is a f****** goldmine (EDIT: as always)! Thank you!

This is the most comprehensive, helpful, down to earth video I've ever seen on KZread.

This is a gem, thank you!

This is the BEST milky way KZread video for a beginner to watch and get a good understanding of what it takes to shoot and process a milky way image. Amazing. Keep up the great work.

Thank you Ian! Astrophotography is is science, art and therapy for the soul. I love learning more about it and this is much appreciated!

Thank you for sharing this video - helped immensely.

Thanks for sharing, Ian!

Thank you SO MUCH!!!!

This is the best video that i watch for newbie like me!! THANKS YOU SO MUCH ❤️

Thankyou Ian we all appreciate your help 👌🏼👍

Amazing! Thank you for this :::))))

Assume, really easy and informative presentation. Cheers

Thank you!!!

Wow .. After long time

A big fat thumbs up and tight hug from my side.🙌✌️

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

super amazing

I don't even have a dedicated camera ... but i still love to watch your videos

Ian, this was a really terrific workshop. Thank you so much for putting all this great information together and sharing it with us.

Haida makes a filter similar to the Hoya Intensifier, it's called Clear Night, and it works great. It's available both as screw-on and square sizes.

Does stacking also works with a lot of falling stars, now in August? Thanks for your great Work.

I created my first milky way galaxy picture thanks to your tutorial. Thank you :)

it was a composite of 84 images, still lacked clarity i felt. shot it with 18mm f4.5 with a canon 1200d. should I move to a full frame?

🔥

Will you be making more pure night filters? They've been sold out since I was able to afford. Thanks!

hi, recently my friend took a 5 hours long strar photos in order to make startrails. but unforunatly the milkyway was taken inside the frames. do u have any ideas how to remove the milkyway from startrails? thx

Do these settings apply for planetary as well?

Thank you Ian, I've been following your work and tutorials for a long time and I have learned a lot. This video is immensely helpful for anybody getting started with astrophotography. I would like to make one addition at 14:30 regarding the shutter time. I believe a more modern approach that came out after this 2016 workshop was recorded, is the NPF rule. The NPF rule takes into account the pixel density of modern sensors. This will yield very sharp stars, but at a faster shutter speed so you may need to push up ISO or use a wider aperture. While the 500 rule is great as a rule of thumb, the NPF rule is also worth thinking about.

Better than the NPF rule, I would argue, is my geometry based shutter time calculation that uses an adjustable photographer's pixel tolerance to define as an input preference for star trailing, rather than a predefined circle of confusion. You can use my calculator here: www.lonelyspeck.com/advanced-astrophotography-shutter-time-calculator/

Anyone here cause of Peta Pixels?
