    I have to tell you your video is to thank for my amazing first attempt at astrophotography. While in Acadia NP last fall, I got a tip from a passing photographer about the Milky Way rising. I had about an hour to ramp up. I found your video, and it was spot on! I came away with photos worthy of sharing and a story to tell. It was the highlight of that trip. Now I can hardly wait for the next opportunity at the night sky at another National Park soon. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Now I have the time, the equipment and the desire to do it correctly. I've just reviewed a few of your videos, starting with this one....THANK YOU for such a direct, concise, to the point video on this topic. I hope you two keep this up... you are great at this..."having the hearts of teachers" and the talent too! 👍👍📷

    Thanks. All these tips worked for me to take the Milkyway. I also use a shutter button by wire to minimize camera shake. Agreed that a national park far outside the city is an ideal dark sky location. Bring a few red lamps with you helps to see your ground and maybe camera setting in the dark.
