Most photography beginners feel disappointed with their initial gear, but this is a great way of showing them, you can do great things with knowledge and some basic gear

That moment of disappointment, when u recieve real bazooka from postman instead of 150-600mm lens. Great and positive video btw.

Finally a step by step video that actually makes sense! Thank you!

Stumbled on your channel today and I must say, you've had me hooked. What you're doing is so awesome. Thank you for showing us the ropes on how to get some amazing images.

This is probably the best explained short and easy video for astrophotography

New-ish to astrophotography, I've had my Canon camera since 2017 but it's taken some time over the years to get to grips with as other commitments have got in the way. Same kit lens as well and this video is just a joy to watch and understand this lens better. Thank you indeed.

This is brilliant. It's really taken the fear out of it for a bluffer like me. Love it.

Thank you for making these videos, it really helps Astrophotography feel less daunting for beginners such as myself! Truly an inspiration the images you're able to get with the gear available to you! I look forward to future videos!

I'm glad you like them! I'm excited to make more! Hopefully all this rain goes away soon!

thank you for every high quality videos, they helped me so much, and so far I'm starting my own astrophotography 🥰

This has been one of the most helpful videos for this topic. Thanks for sharing

I love that he leaves his own home at the end ahha. Thankyou. I have given into feeling like I need the newest, best gear that I searched and found this video to inspire and remind me that all I have is all I need. It isn't the gear but the perspective that makes the photo.

Great content. Will be trying out similar equipment on holiday in Greece next. Hopefully the nights will be clear and far from bright lights. I will try for Milky Way and Andromeda. Will rewatch your videos for guidance and motivation. Thanks for posting these videos.

Fantastic video! I thoroughly enjoyed it, from the information, to the music, and humour. 💯 Clear skies and stay safe! -Ken

Just a great video, I’ve begun the mountainous task of astrophotography and videos like these make the mountain a little more conquerable, thanks!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It helps those of us as a beginner.

Bro you keep it real and seem very authentic on camera! Liked and Subscribed!

Always appreciate your videos and love your animals co-starring in them.

Such a great video! Congrats and thank you for all the tips!

Hey man, your videos are awesome. I borrowed a camera just to mess with, and with these vids ive taken some pretty decent astro photos! Really appreciate it

New to photography in general just purchased a rebel T7. This inspires me

Thanks for the tips. Got a Sl3 with 18-55mm. I'll definitely try this. I live in an isolated city in Brazil where the milk way is visible on naked eye. Subscribed!

You’re so lucky to live in a place where the sky is limpid. I have to travel 20 km to have a light pollution free area 😔

Great tutorial for a beginner like me, easy to understand and it'll get me going while I'm learning some of the tech stuff I need to know for great photography. Look forward to watching more of your videos.

i’m very new to (and very excited about) astrophotography and am currently saving for a telephoto lens. so glad i came across this video- i needed to know for sure that it’s possible to make amazing images with kit lenses. plus, your energy is really nice. 😊👋🏾

Yeah you will be amazed at what you can do with kit lenses. A star tracker really helps with telephoto lenses, so do look into that! Just have fun and enjoy what you have!

What a beautiful shot. Thank you. You have proved that one can do wonders without spending a fortune. It is in the talent.Brilliant

Loving the hanger on the ground at 4:11.. Excellent video tutorials. I like how you make it cheesy fun. Well Done!! You have a new subscriber.

thanks for sharing the video, the picture came out fantastic. please keep the videos coming.

Hi, I’m new to Astrophotography, I have a Nikon D90 with a 18 to 200mm lens looking forward to trying out a few shots. Your explanations are very clear but I’m going to have to just give it a go and learn along the way. Many Thanks😊

Great results with this kit

Amazing pic! Going to try to figure out settings to see the meteor shower tomorrow. Will definitely try to learn how to stack photos!

Can’t wait to try this thank you I have been wanting to take Astro photos but i have never tried hopefully it works with my t6🙏🏻

I'm climbing a Mountain tonight to put your teachings to the test! Best day off ever!!

Thank you ALOT for the tutorial. First i watched the video and was stunned by the final result.. God how bad it was.. Switched to your next video and found out somewhy KZread was showing the video in 360P.. Fast rewind with 1080P and holy shit, i have a LONG time till i get shots like this, incredible for entry lever equipments! I have 500D with the same kit, so this tutorial is very helpful for me! Thank you! Keep up the good work mate!

Wonderful! Definitely a "must watch" video for all aspiring astrophotographer like me. Greetings from Brazil!

Hi Walt,found your channel a few months ago and love your videos,your information is easy to understand and to the point. I was bought a canon eos 4000d for my 60 birthday present,it was the one I chose not realising it can’t be connected to an interverlometer ,it has a maximum 30 seconds exposure time but thanks to you I know I can do some astro photography with it,I even got a nifty 50 lens also so been watching your videos over and over,keep up the great work buddy,looking forward to your next video,Clive.👍

Maybe you can connect it to a laptop with USB? Then you can make long exposures and intervals from the laptop (Canon's EOS Utility software).

Just came across this video. Thanks so much for making this. I have a Canon t7 that I am using. Cannot wait to try this myself.

Man that is a Magnificent Capture 😊😊😊

Thank you so much dude🥺your such an great Photographer📸

Wow! Everyone barks on about how you need a fast wide angle lens, but what you've done here is amazing!

Your video is very good. It covers the easiest setup and conditions to take good astrophotography with the kit lens.

I pulled my old D5100 with it's 18-55 kit out of the cupboard for the first time in 5 or 6 years. Really interested to take my interest in the universe and play with some astrophotography. Hopefully I can get some decent results and experience before upgrading my gear. Pretty much the same settings I've been playing with. A good, simple to understand video for beginners looking to start in the hobby with entry level kit. I'll be watching more of your videos for post processing. Our universe definately is a thing of beauty! Thanks champ.

Very kool! I'm learning my EQ mount and am going to start using my telescope instead of my 300mm lens for DSO's from my backyard. In a few months I'll do a little driving to a dark sky spot and get some Milky Way shots and Andromeda shots. We have Bortle class 6 skies here in my corner of the SF Bay Area.

Awesome video Walt! Great final image especially without expensive camera and tracker.

You know what the funny part about that image is? I could have done even better because I realized I was saving my photos as jpegs instead of RAW files! I might do a 2022 version next year!

you're so sweet man, wholesome content, I have recently bought a used nikon D3300 and I am looking for different kinds of photography that I could do with my humble 18-55. Subbed :)

Great video, entertaining and educational! I really appreciate it, I'm trying to learn and make the move from a cellphone camera to a "real camera" lol.

Great video to get a person started, and I’m that person. Working with a T7 with a few lenses. Will take it to the Outer Banks of North Carolina at the beach in a couple weeks. Also have a star tracker. Tested tonight and was happy with results. Thanks for the awesome simple tutorial.

The great astro channel ever i see in my life

The best video and photo I have ever seen. Cheers.

The dog was excited. Must be a photodographer.

I have no words to say........ im an beginner for astrophotography and from 7 months im waiting for andromeda, the clouds and the moon are probably the most annoying things for me right now, if i have to do any astrophoography i always come to your channel, i love ur vids, the ending of this was sensational its a underrated chanel this for sure, need to have way more subs than it has, you are such an inspiration for me, there are only two reasons i havent given up on astrophotography, my passion and your vids. Thanks a lot sir!

Thank you so much!!

Great tutorial. I love it

4 yrs ago this coming January i started with a fujifilm s6500fd before moving to a Canon eos 200d 5 mths later, for the next year all my milkyway nightscapes were taken with the 18-55mm f/4 - 5.6 kit lens and now i use a Tokina 14-20mm f/2 on the 200d.

Wow man, this really inspires me as I can see you can do so much with such little. Amazing shit dude and I love your humour😂 I just got my scope and stuff so expect clouds for the next couple of months👍.

Thank you so much. It really helped.

Hi. Definitely miles ahead although with pretty the same gear. I am sure it’s always fun to redo the same shots with the same or similar gear from time to time. I feel bad after watching your vid that I left my 18-55 lying somewhere. I have been contemplating buying a fast wide angle. I realise I should try with What I already have. Cheers! Have a wonderful time.

I just love your videos and look forward to watching them. Would love to see how you use your ‘Tracker’ to take Milky Way photos for capturing more light. I have the Star Adventurer and am still trying to get my head round how to keep the foreground sharp whilst taking 3-4 minute exposures. I know it’s something to do with ‘blending’ in Photoshop but I’d love your input. Many thanks for sharing 👍

Love watching your video.... thanks a ton

Absolutely stunning!!!!! I was wondering if I could use a mirror less camera like Canon R10 or Nikon z50 for photographing stars! I'm a newbie as you can figure out by my question.

Great video, thanks!!

Excellent vid, what was the reason for taking the photos with the lens cap on after the actual photos?

Thankyou so much

Hey. I’ve just come across your channel. Hope to learn a lot from you. I’m in the Uk and have the canon 750D which I believe is known as a revel in the states.

amazing 😍😍😍

Excellent

I did this same thing years back with the same lens. It was my first ever time doing astrophotography. My results were ok. Most were quite blurry unfortunately. I managed to catch that comet Neowise back when it was in the sky. Wish I had a better lens or knew how to check better it was in focus. I certainly want to get out and do some more but I don't have anywhere as nice as the middle of Wyoming anymore to go to for it.

just got a canon eos t7 rebel and i will be trying this.

What was the app you recommended? Great video

Very beautiful 😍 What's the music you used at the end ? Please tell me, it's amazing

Thank you so much sir

Awesome video. Thank you so much. I am just now trying to learn how to take astrophotography shots, and I don’t have a clue. I have a Kodak pixpro AZ 252; it has a great zoom but I can’t find a manual focus option on it. I have just found a NIKON D3200 with a DX VR AF-S 18-55 mm lens for sale. He is asking 180. Would it be worth me buying that camera setup, or should I stick with the AZ 252 for now? I really enjoy learning this stuff and tying to take photos like this. I would greatly appreciate any feedback you might be able to offer. Thanks again.

Superb photos, any ideas on a lap top that can process the images..

Knocked another one out of the park, thanks for sharing your astrophotography with us.....................................peace

Wow that's amazing

excellent!, thanks for sharing.

Informative 😊

Would you please add a link to the Star Tracker you used in the video. Thank you for this. It has further inspired me to astrophotography.

Love it!!

Man that was so cool. I am just about ready to dip my toes into astrophotography and this video dumbed it down enough for my ass to understand. I recently bought my first telescope a Mat-Cass 150mm Orion Starseeker 4 go-to and have only had one clear night to play with it. I was giddy looking at Saturn and Jupiter. I took some ghetto pictures with my phone through the eyepiece and needless to say was not satisfied with the results. Thank you!

That farming area looks a lot like the areas of Eastern Arkansas that I traveled with my family on our way to Memphis back in the 60's.

Hi mate - from UK - just want to say thanks for the videos - I have a question if I may... The camera settings on this video 18 - 55mm lens - can you use these settings for anything you want to observe, galaxy wise? also, can you do the same with your camera looking through a telescope? Thanks again and will keep watching!!! Merry Christmas 2022!!!

Hi Walt, love your channel. I am considering purchasing a used Canon 550d and wondered how the mirror lock works to reduce vibrations? When using an intervalometer, will the mirror be activated every time an image is taken? I hope you can advise. Cheers.

Well along with you being my doppelganger we share similar tastes in photography and equipment! I just started doing astrophotography in Aug. I have had some success or dumb luck! I have open source editing software Gimp and Darktable! Just starting to figure them out! I have Rebel T3i and 2 kit lenses 18-55 f/3.5 and 55-250 f/5.6! I also bought a Tamron 18-400 f/3.5. Wich you can basically renders the other 2 pointless for the most part. Stacking is a way to avoid a 1,500 buck 16mm f/1.8 lens! I just subscribe to your channel. You remind me of me style wise. Hopping you can teach this goofball a thing or 2!! Great shot...or 60 shots lol

Thank you for this video I’m wanting to start out and try it, but don’t have the money for a decent set up, question is there a reason you use the digital zoom and not the one on the lens or do you max the lens zoom and then digital? Thanks 😊

Very helpful thank u..

Great video
