HOW TO SHOOT THE STARS (Easy beginner guide)
How to take photos of the stars, the easiest way.
I don't normally make instructional videos but I figured I would try one. This is what I needed when I started shooting astrophotography so I thought I would be of help to whoever stumbles across this. If you think I should do more about different topics, let me know!
I hope you enjoy the video. Also hope this inspires you to channel your inner child and get outside tonight and have some fun! Thanks for watching.

Agreed!
The man made a slide for us to screenshot!!! What a guy
All tutorials should be like this … good info, fast. No fluff… no links to click … pure awesomeness…
"Some of you shoot in auto...I wouldn't recommend that ever." That had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣
This must be the only zero bullshit video I’ve ever seen in my 30 years of life. Thanks man

You're welcome.
If you’re shooting RAW, you don't need to worry about white balance, because RAW mode simply records the light measurement at each sensor R, G, or B photosite. White balance is only used in interpreting those measurements to create an image on your camera preview display (which you likely won't use much for astrophotography) or computer. So you can set your WB to anything, as long as, when you process your images later on your computer (using Lightroom, Adobe Camera RAW, or any similar program), you make sure to set the WB in that program to 4000K (I've actually found 3700K works better) before processing it.
I appreciate how concise this was , with visuals not just explanation
I just got my first camera last week and am excited to shoot the stars! This video was EXTREMELY helpful and the most helpful out of the 100 videos I’ve watched so far. Thank you for the screenshot as well!
Just what I need! I usually shoot landscape/botanical pics, but I always wanted to have some astronomy pics. You're such a Good Teacher 👏
This guy has a app for everything

Does he ? I need a link to help me get better shots
I've been taking pictures of the night sky since I was a child. My dad would be night fishing and I would camp out taking pictures of the stars. I love this video because it's easy for a beginner to just snap the best photo settings to take with them. I know I like super long exposures and some don't but I feel like long exposures can bring so much coolness to the night sky. Great video.
Wow ! More useful information in your video than in many others put together. You have a knack for pinning down the most important points clearly, very very useful especially for a beginner such as myself. I hope you continue to make more tutorials such as this one to cover different aspects of photography. I will certainly be looking for them. Thank you.
I've been watching a fair few tutorials on this subject lately and was not expecting to learn SO MUCH NEW STUFF from your video that no one else seems to mention! Thank you, fantastic information! 👏
Best tutorial hands down. Love the no BS approach. Thank you.
This is literally the best & most informative & straight to the point video I've seen with great B-Roll. Thank you
This had so much useful advice, I never thought about the moons impact. Thank you!
lovely. Exactly the type of video I like. Straight to the point. No rambly intro. nice one. Im off tonight for my second star photography attempt ever. Thanks man.
thanks for your guide! I tried it out and I got some good shots for a beginner, even when just going into the parking lot of a place with A LOT of light pollution, cant wait to go somewhere remote and capture beautiful shots! TY!
Super video man I subbed, loved that we can screenshot the settings instead of rewatching, you covered information so clearly, can't imagine a better for beginners video out there! cheers
Thanks for the guide. I did it last night. Turned out pretty decent. I don't normally do a lot of night stuff, but wanted to change it up a bit and stumbled across your video. Thank you
Simple, informative, and straight to the point video for a n00b like me starting out. Thank you.
A very concise and clear explanation. Thanks. There are a lot of people posting “tips” in videos that are 20 or 30 minutes long.
This is one heck of a great, straight to the point tutorial. Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant. The video live view focusing tip was pure genius! Thanks
Thanks. I tried once, 500 rule applies to equivalent focal length (obviously). What I found absolutely necessary was taking perhaps 5 dark frames with lens cap on with the same settings as real photo, turning camera long exposure NR off cause it takes lot of time and processing photos in RawTherapee with dark frames as reference for dealing with noise and hot pixels. This works great for fireworks or other photos with long exposure time. Taking some photos for vignetting correction may be useful as well.
Seriously! I cannot thank you enough for your break down, I have been scouring the web looking for info on this and everyone explained the 500 formula as well as others techniques that you explained well like we were sitting at a desk in Yale. Thank you. I actually made progress with your tutorial.

Awesome, this is why I made it. To help people like you. Thank you for showing your appreciation 😊
I tried for nearly 15 days every day nothing worked uptill this video helped me ... THANK YOU Appreciated and Highly recommended for beginners
Amazing video. Thoughtfully put together. The screenshot at the end was a PERFECT idea that I haven't seen before. Thank you so much!
I appreciate your snapshot screen a lot! Thanks for being so concise. Good work.
Love that I now have the settings saved on my phone. Cheers mate.
Oh man, thank you so much! I can't wait to get started!
I was screen recording this video while watching it and taking screenshots as I went only for the slide at the end to appear! Thank you sir!
Best/easiest tutorial to.understand so far thank you!
Thank you for the straight forward information. I am visiting Spirit Lake this evening, 1% Waxing Crescent tonight, let's see what happens. I'm using a Fujifilm x-100t camera. Thank you once again
Hard to know how you fitted so much info into such a short video. Excellent!
Wow, the most sensible photography video I have ever seen. No lag just straight to the point. Subscribed!

I went outside early this morning to take out the trash and the stars were super bright!! I could see Orion! I’ve always been interested in the sky and I have recently been tracking the planets. Now I want to take pictures of the night sky :)!
Man. Fantastic video. Quality information, super concise. This is more than enough to get started. Thank you!
This was super helpful. I'm just learning to shoot night photos and figured I'd try your advice. I was able to use these settings and fine tune them as desired and I was able to see so many stars.

Awesome! This is the exact type of story I like to hear, yay, glad I could help!
Yessssssssss! Trying this tomorrow night! Thank you!
Amazing tutorial man. Really straight to the point and all the settings on the street really helped
Omg! This literally make me say ohhhhhh that’s why that wasn’t working. Thanks so much, so excited to try again and use these tips.
Great. Concise and to the point. Also, the video mode tip and kelvin mode were real highlights. Thanks.
Thank you Ryan for making it simple and avoid using technical jargons. We are planning to head out to British Colombia this summer, so will definitely have a go there :-). Cheers!
Wish I'd found this tut years ago! Thanks to you I believe I now actually understand the 500 rule.....loving the focus tip and white balance setting, these are all gonna work for me! And thanks for the screenshot.......that's going right in my photo album on my phone for easy reference! :D
I just came back from a grueling trek (Hampta Pass) followed by visiting the Spiti Valley, and but it was one of the best places to shoot the stars. I did capture Ursa major and Orion belt but I think it would have been really helpful if I had watched this video before.
this is crammed full of info. Really practical and so much experience. Thanks!
Thanks Ryan. Liked you putting all the settings for a screen shot.
GREAT INSTRUCTION VIDEO--Right to the point--cuts to the chase. My kind of video. Not a lot of fluff or BS or self grandizment or advertising--Thank you!!!!
Probably one of the best videos I've seen for beginners, thank you.
Neat trick with the video mode for finding the focus! Hadn't thought of that myself.
Why aren’t all tutorial videos like that. Most of us want information, not so called entertainment. Excellent.
I’m not gonna lie this is the best and shortest video I’ve seen on low light photography so far.
Loved this video! I'm going to Goblin Valley this weekend want to try this out. I enjoyed some of the light sarcasm in this video (nice touch) but what I loved most is that in the end, you put everything you said in an image so we can all screen shot it on our phones and have it in the field. Truth be told, I had already added my own notes onto my phone before finishing your video but I absolutely loved that you knew how important and useful it would be to have a cheat sheet on hand. Appreciate you making this video! Cheers ~
Bravo! Simple and straightforward explanation.
The screenshot part at the end is the most useful thing. Very cool detail to the tutorial.
Great advice, quick and to the point. This is the perfect starting point for me as a beginner. Thanks!

Quick hell I thought i was going to die, it took so long.
You made this seem easy enough, I'm gonna give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
That's really to the point, good summary of the key info of astrophotography.
Brief and clear. Thanks!
Thanks for the quick vid! Can’t wait to try!
Thanks so much for the tutorial! I tried by myself for a long time to get everything right, but the pictures just did not turn out great. Turns out - I did *almost* everything right, but I never heard about RAW file format before!! Changing to RAW made an incredible difference, and the pictures turned out beautiful!! I even captured a shooting star!! ^.^ (the perseid meteor shower is at it's peak right now! so go outside, catch a star and make a wish!! ♡)
That was really helpful! Thoroughly explained and easy to follow as a beginner! Thank you!
Thanks for the screenshot of settings at the end!!
Thank you for the information. Especially the setting that we can take a screen shot!
Thanks I watch several of your vid’s before I made my first purchase. Your vid’s are very helpful thanks.
Great job. Easy to understand. Can't wait to use your tips soon
