good overall, but you should have mentioned that the crop factor needs to be taken into account when using the rule of 600/500/400 (I thought you were going to hit it when you mentioned full frame camera). A 50mm lens on a full frame becomes the equivalent field of view of a 75mm on a Nikon Crop, 80mm on a Canon crop or 100mm on a MFT. So 10 seconds on a Canon 5D becomes 5 seconds on a Panasonic G7.

You mentioned Photopills, Mike. When you record your camera model, it automatically adjusts for crop factor.

Could someone explain to me why a crop will enhance startrailing? It's the same lens and the same picture at the end of the cam why should sensorsize make a difference? There are two things that matter: pixelsize and focal length. Change my mind.

I've seen people charge money for e-books that contain less content than this video. Outstanding work, thank you for putting this together!

@@Milkywaymike Great! Also thanks for the advice when i mailed you personally! I hope to make great pictures like you in a few years.

I have been teaching photography at a major university for over 30 years and been a professional photographer for almost 50 years working for virtually every major magazine in the world, but I have never done any star photography. I happen to be teaching in Abu Dhabi this semester so I decided to give it a try. This tutorial is amazing!!!!! In my teaching career I have never given a lecture this complete, solid, or informative.

Thank you very much for those kind words! I made this a few years ago so I definitely think I make improvements if I had to do it all over again, but I’m happy it has helped peak photographers interest to capture the stars. Hopefully you get a shot of the Milky Way this year! Cheers 🍻

"Let the love for your stars overcome your fear for the night" wise words

Thumbed up just for that intro. More people need to just slow down and take it all in.

You've inspired me to pull out my astrotrac which I've hardly used and start taking images with it again! Excellent presentation and great content on your channel!!

Spectacular. Great video, thank you for teaching!

Love this! Thank-You!

Stayed in Cyprus for a few months and in a place called Lania. Beautiful beautiful place and OMG the night sky and the Milky Way was incredible. The Milky Way went right over the house and it was though you could not see sky, only stars. Amazing absolutely amazing. I did not have a good camera then sadly for me.

A-FRICKING-MAZING!!!!! dude. Wow. I think this is the single best tutorial video I've ever seen on KZread.

Thank you Mike! I'm starting to learn!

Awesome video. I can’t wait to get started.

Amazing tutorial thank you so much for all the information.👍

Thanks so much for this presentation I learn a lot.

Great overall introduction for beginners. Keep up the good work.
