Very informative even after 5 years. Thank You ❤❤❤

Hey Man! Thank you very much! You made my pictures alive! :)

I've been using SLS for a couple of years, but was doing some LR adjustments before exporting to SLS. Now I want to try your method of removing almost all edits to the raw images before sending over.

This is great Gabe and very timely - about to try on images taken in Menorca - thanks so much. Was great seeing you there and you gave a great lecture and was a great help in the field as we Seized the Night in Menorca😀

Glad this helped and great getting creative under the stars with you at Menorca!

Thank you. Of all the tutorials on this subject, this is one of the very best!

Hi. Great presentation. I notice you didn’t shoot any dark images. Does the software not use dark images? Or you you find them unnecessary? Thanks!

Thank you! The software lets you use dark frames but in my testing I’ve found that they are not needed.

Nice video for SNS. Going MW core hunting next week in Joshua Tree. Will buy SNS and give it a whirl. Can i use tracker and use more than 30 images in SNS?

Nice video and good explanations. I’ve used SLS for a year or so but recently switched to using a tracker. I never used more than five or so shots to blend in SLS and was apathetic towards its production. The tracker is nice but blending ground with sky is problematic when trees are present (Yosemite Tunnel View for instance). I’ll give SLS another try. Thanks again!

Our pleasure :-) Thanks for watching, and commenting. We really appreciate it.

thanx for sharing. I,m scratching my head, cuz I,m thinking if I want to do a stacked panoramic milky way that is like 5-8 frames and I have to shoot for each pano images 10 stack images doesnt the milky way move so much so I cant create a pano at the end or something?

There has to be a better way to blend the foreground and sky together. If you were printing this image, wouldn't that horizon line be apparent? When talking about where the eye goes, and maybe it's because I'm picky, but it goes right to that darker horizon line. Either way, amazing image and great tutorial of SLS!

Thanks for the comment, Scott! Absolutely- there are many ways to approach the editing process and the aesthetics have to serve the author of the composition. Thanks for watching and commenting!

thats sky or an ocean? or its the perfect example of lightroom in wrong hands?

Does tracking help when stacking? Wouldn’t it move the background extensively? For the last background exposure should I turn off the tracker turn down the iso and extend the exposure?

Hi! Great question. Yes. Tracking the moon helps you use a lower ISO and slower shutter speed. This is especially helpful when you use longer focal lengths to fill your frame with the moon. And as you say; the moon is much brighter then the stars, so usually it’s best to make two exposures- one for the moon and one for the stars. And those should ideally be traveled separately. Lather actively you can turn off the tracker and make a star point stack sequence and then post process those together to one ha ground image and mask in the moon image.

Any Reason why one couldn't use the Gaussian Blur Filter on the Mask to help blend it in ? Instead of spending so much time with a brush at lower opacity?

You could definitely use a Gaussian Blur brush to blend the edges of the mask, this helps when you have a distinct defining line between the short and long exposure. I use a low opacity brush when working just on the brighter longer exposure to "tone" it down a bit.
