Really great tutorial Adrien. Incredible details You captured with all that light pollution. As I'm considering different skytrackers, I have some questions: Is it difficult to polar allign with Vixen Polarie? From what I've seen in videos, You will have to remove the ball head to polar align and then attach the ball head again-which could result in a sligthly inacurate polar allignment. Do you know how the Vixen Polarie stack up against the IOptron SkyTracker Pro and IOptron Sky Guider Pro? Is it possible to shoot at 200mm with vixen Polarie, or do You need to buy more sturdy options like Astrotracker?

@NightLightsFilms

6 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I've tried the Vixen Polarie and the iOptron sky guider. Both are a pain in the ass to polar align to be honest. The Vixen polarie is very imprecise, not because of what you said (I polar align with my camera already mounted so I don't move the whole rig), but more because the hole is too wide and it's very difficult to place Polaris right in the center since there is no illumination inside the tube. I know I can buy a diameter reducer, but I'll build something myself. I've tried all focal lengths from 14mm and 300mm with it, but I would say 200m is the limit, and I never go over 40 seconds with 135mm for example, or a minute with 50mm. I'm still trying to master it (I've just switched my ioptron from my polarie), but so far it's been okay for what I do, but I would invest in another if you were to do longer exposure times... Also for the sky guider, it's more sturdy but takes up more room and weight. you need a paying app to polar align it, and it's not even the best, but more precise than the Vixen polarie. I tried 14 to 500mm with it, and with 500mm, you can't go over 30 seconds but with 200 you can go 1 or 2 minutes if it's correctly polar aligned. The main worry I had with it is that you need to place it in a very flat area whereas the vixen polarie can be put pretty much everywhere. There's the sky adventurer mini also that you can look at: www.skywatcherusa.com/star-adventurer/ . But if you were to do deep sky in your backyard, you should invest in a better tracker than these guys. Hope this helps :)

Great video! I am with you, light pollution is real and it is growing at an alarming rate. Unfortunately the cost of LED lights have dropped enough now that they are being installed at astonishing rates around the world. Places that used to be fairly dark are now one if not two Bortle scales higher just in the past 10 years. This is a horrible situation and much of the public is so used to this massive light pollution that they actually don’t think this is a problem. This needs to change. If the public could only see what beauty the dark, unpolluted heavens looked like they would certainly change the way they use lights. It’s important for all of us to monitor our own lights as well as making suggestions to our local town and councils to do the same and physically show people what we are missing more and more.

@melindamercier6811

As someone who has always lived in Bortle 8-9 skies (with heavy air pollution too) and has an interest in astronomy and astrophotography, I cannot agree with this sentiment more! It’s a crying shame to see so few stars in my night sky. I saw my first star at 7 after a small weekend visit to more rural upstate NY, and even then, few stars were visible. Thankfully, I now live where there is little air pollution, so I see more stars at night, but my skies are still at 9, so we can only see the bright stars that make up certain constellations.

Adrien, a really useful tutorial video, like the first one you did on single shot astrophotography (on your website). Many thanks. I just bought a Nikon D850 and a Zeiss Milvus 35mm f1.4 lens, and even at 8 seconds, the stars were not points; I was very disappointed as the tripod I used (also brand new) was a very solid Manfrotto 055. Last night, despite a full moon, city sky, clouds and abundant light pollution, I experimented again (just to see how I could get pinpoint stars without trailing), using 3 second exposure delay in live view mode - and only the 5-second exposures (at f 2.8)gave me reasonably good pinpoint stars! I am a pixel peeper so I like to enlarge files, and at high magnification, the results can be disappointing given the relatively short exposure times. I guess the 500 rule seems to be a very rough guide at best? What are your thoughts?

@NightLightsFilms

6 жыл бұрын

Hello Richard! Zeiss should be of excellent quality, although it might be an excellent day time lens, it might not be such a good one for stars. The good test is as you did, stop down to 2.8 and even further to see what happens. You can also experience focusing problems, or even not entire compatibility between your lens and camera, or lens and adapter, or adapter and camera...(that happened to me with the new Sigma 14mm f/1.8 and sony a7rII recently). The 500 rule actually depends on the portion of the sky you are photographing, and the place on earth. If you are at the equator and shooting directly east or west where the spin of the Earth is at its maximum, I would use the 400 rule instead. But that's not your case right? So with 35mm and a full frame you should be able to go at least 13s without issues. I know the pixel peeper thing, as I am quite demanding myself. If you really want to get rid of any blur, then you should buy a small tracker. Speaking of which, I'm just thinking that your blur could also come from a piece of the tripod you didn't tighten all the way? It could be caused by a lot of factors, but before accusing anything, you can send me some decent screenshots of some of your test pics, so I can help you further. Please email them to me at adphotography2410@gmail.com if you like! :)

Wow, really great results. I didn't know, that a night filter can make such a difference. But peww, 150-250 Euro for such a filter. Man, why do all the geeky parts of photography (Astrophotography, Extreme Macro...) that I'm interested in have to be so expensive. I already bought a tracker (Star Adventurer Mini, the Vixen that you recommended was too expensive for my taste in the end) and a new lens (Samyang 16mm f/2) this year, so I will probably wait till the winter season for a filter. And again a great video as always. Don't know why I missed it and just recently found it.

I got a used Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Macro (the old VC version with the golden ring) this week though for some more detailed shots of the night sky (and some 1:1 macro of course). Your review of the Samyang 135mm inspired me. The Tamron actually has really low coma, too, and is very sharp from corner to corner even wide open, which should make it a great lens for Astrophotography.

By using an IR filter and probably modifying the camera for better IR response. The red parts of the image are H-alpha IR light in 656nm wavelength. You can also shoot similar images with any dslr. But filters will be needed, some are quite cheap on aliexpress though. However if you don't modify your camera, with the stock LPF filter in front of the sensor you will still get bad response and need to exposure very very long, preferably with a star tracker. Easiest way to get such images is to buy a filter and modify your camera to full spectrum imaging (removing both LPF filters in front of the sensor). Filters you can use to achieve similar results are; -Narrowband filtering for O-3, S-2, Ha, this will result in false color but the most amazing image. -UHC/CLS filters, also known as pollution filters as these increase the response for wavelengths needed in astro and reduce the response for light polluting sources (like sodium and mercury lamp) -IR lowpass for extra Ha, you basically stack your normal image with some additional Ha data. If you're interest in astrophotography, i'd recommend getting a star tracker, ir filter and a cheap crop sensor dslr to modify. You can achieve great milky way shots or deep sky objects (nebulas, galaxies or clusters) with that setup. Even for wide-field milkyway shots, such a setup will give easier and better results.
