Holy crap man I’ve watched a dozen tutorials already and not one even comes close to your ability to really simplify it in a VERY clear way for the people looking for help and still come out with an extremely impressive image. Thank you for this tutorial!

I am pretty good at Photoshop, and I'll be honest with you.............you just blew my mind with this tutorial! KUDOS! Great job.

Yes! Same! He is amazing!

Ian - THANK YOU!!!!! I've been striving to learn astrophotography for over a year now. Frequent posts on DP Review astro forum and I've never received advice as good as your video. I'm confident with my photography of the skies I've just not received proper instruction on how to process the images in Photoshop/Lightroom. There are videos on KZread for it but none as clearly done as yours. It's almost like an industry secret. Thank You for doing this video!!!!!!!!!

***** that's excellent. I just noticed SLR Lounge shared this video tutorial so hopefully you'll continue to get more "exposure" :)

This is perhaps the best tutorial I've ever seen on processing wide angle astrophotography. You can bet I'll be trying it out. Thank you.

I got my Sharp Star in the mail the other day. Now we're looking forward to getting out west in a month or so to work on some astrophotography. You are very thorough in you videos. I might have to re watch them a few dozen times to understand what you have done. The results are fantastic!

Best tutorial ever on astrophotography processing! Learned more in the past 5 minutes than I have in the past year!

What I really appreciate here is that there is literally not one second of wasted time. Fantastic job - thank you.

You make the best tutorials! very easy to follow and understand :)

Yeah... That would be on 0.10 Play Speed though.

I'm watching every video you made right now, I'm learning so much! Thank you!

I am using photoshop since 7 years now. And yet I felt like a total amateur while watching this tutorial. This is one of the best photoshop tutorial and I am amazed to see the contents available in my picture after following this method. Thank you so much for sharing this.

This was one of my favorites! I'll be out shooting Orion as soon as we get a break in the clouds. I just used these techniques on a Milky Way Photo and love the results. Thanks Ian.

In my opinion the best Astro photography video tutorial on KZread.

This is one of the best astrophotography tutorial I've seen yet!

Thank you Norman!!! It's amazing what and how much you achieve with just decent camera kit and normal Photoshop functionality. And how clearly you manage to explain a lot of complexity. You definitely made me curious, and I will be back to follow more of your tutorials.

Excellent tutorial, I feel like I can easily follow along. The reasoning for each step is explained and there's no handwaving or magic. I can't wait to try this process!

Your tutorials are the best on KZread!

Outstanding, brilliant tutorial. Thanks a lot, Ian!

Thank you, Ian. I am looking now forward to the beginning of astrophotography season.

Superb tutorial ! Isn't it incredible how much information is stored in those photos.

wow, this is the most technical tutorial I've ever seen. It's going to take me some time to follow your methodology

Yeah... May be going back to “Etch A Sketch”...

I don't know what I would do without you! Thank you very much for all of your work :)

The 55/1.8 is my favorite lens of all time!

Thank you for sharing this! I used 47 one minute tracked exposures I took over the weekend with my Nikon Z6ii (astro-modded) and followed your tutorial. Reasonably happy with the result but I may go back and try it again on another day to see how it comes out.

Fantastic Ian, for someone just starting astro photography, this was great!

Amazing Tutorial, and awe-inspiring images, or an untracked-fixed camera! Keep up with such good work! Best regards from Brazil

Very nice video dude! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Thanks Ian! I know I saw that but didn't catch the alignment part. Your videos are so helpful I can't wait to shoot some of my own!

Extremely details and fine tuned tutorial.... Thanks for it.

Cannot believe how this has been processed to a beautiful Nebula with out any manipulation. Great tutorial

WOW....that process is something else. I too applaud you sir!

I'm blown away! You sure know what you are doing...

Excellent!! Thanks for sharing this tutorial, I reprocessed and image of Andromeda and now it certainly looks better

Absolutely stunning. Thank you! Have a great new year.

Fantastic tutorial!! This really helped me take a Milky Way closeup and make it look surreal!!

WOW. I was having trouble designing a workflow to process my Cocoon nebula and Elephant's Trunk images. I'm excited to try out your tutorial. Amazing work again, Ian!

Amazing Ian! Thank you so much for showing your workflow.

Awesome tutorial! Going to test this out in southern france in a couple of weeks.

Best tutorials on KZread, thanks so much.

***** Just waiting for a clear night to try it :P

Excellent tutorial. Great work and effort.

this was so easy to follow! i mean, i'm not familiar with the process at all, but you were very clear with each step, what you were clicking and why. much appreciated

CHAMPION!! This is amazing 🙌 Need more of these kinds of tutorials that are basic enough just to stick to PS and not need 3rd party programs that cost 100's Thanks you

Now thats truly amazing....Love your videos Ian, have used your tut's so much...Thanks again

This was mostly voodoo but its favourited and when im a little more familiar with photoshop im coming back here to absorb your wisdom... great job man

Thanks so much mate!!! I'm just getting into astrophotography, and your site plus these videos are REALLY helping me bring the WOW factor out in my images! THANKS!!!

This is one of the most helpful tutorials out there. From a fellow Ian, thank you!

finally a well detailled tutorial ! Best of all

Fantastic tutorial, thanks! And Red Rock, brilliant. I'm in LA too so that's an easy drive to make it worthwhile.

This was more a demonstration video than a tutorial. Good skills.

Ian this is really good - great job in explaining well done! thanks for posting

Very nice tutorial! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH Ian!

Wow This just blew my mind away :D really good stuff, keep up the good work. I cant wait to get a chance at a night sky again !!!

I have recently started getting into astrophotography and your videos are proving to be an enormous help. Many thanks.

Ian you have been a great inspiration to me!

Loved this tutorial! Can't wait to try out some photo stacking

the stacking is the easy part... What an awesome tutorial.

Brilliant tutorial, really helpful. Thanks for sharing.

It's amazing how photoshop has changed our view of the skies. I learnt photoshop late in life during an adult college course and the first thing our tutor said was photoshop was used for the Star Wars films...I was hooked!… these days the software has changed so much I doubt I would recognise it... what is it now CS8?? Anyway, you've shown great skill in showing us the beauty of space just using a camera....and a bit of software.. thank you for sharing your skills. 👍🏼😊

Awesome video. I never knew I could stack directly in photoshop. I always stack in Deep Sky Stacker and then process in photoshop. Liked and subscribed. Cheers and clear skies!

This video is gold to me, thanks for sharing your work!

Superb tutorial, Very easy to follow and understand. Thank you!

Ok that was a lot to digest in 15min, but omg dude thats amazing. I just got into AP with CMOS cameras and i wish i had half as much knowledge in Photoshop/LightRoom as you do. BADASS!!! Teach me your ways lol.

Wonderful, detailed tutorial, can't wait to try it on my own

Wow - what a tutorial. I learnt so much from this one. Thanks much!

Amazing tutorial! very useful to all astrophotographers! Good work :)

Just subscribed, thank you for the tutorial - A++!

That's amazing honestly can't thank you enough. I've got so many photos of orion with my star tracker so hours of exposure but zero post processing skills. Will give this a go

You're my hero. I'm doing this on the next clear night!

Awesome video, I'm going to be in the mountains next week and death valley next month. Definitely will be giving this a try.

This technique proved very useful, convertng my first attempt at stacking and procesing using other methods which resulted in an awful orange cast mediocre image suffused with amp glow, into a very passable much more detailed, fairly colour neutral image with which I was quite surprised. Especially considering the images were all taken using a less than perfect set up (24mm at F4 on the Sony kit zoom for my A6300) and the result for the section of Milky Way I had framed was good for that,, it made me extra keen to try out the manual F1.8 lens I haved just purchased. Thanks!

Really great tutorial, great job. thank you

outstanding! great images! and love your video tutorials

The best tutorial ever, thank you...

What a stellar tutorial ;-) thanks!

Excellent tutorial. Thanks!

Thank you Ian. Great tutorial.

Holy Crap! That was Awesome! Can't wait to try that on one of my images

This technique is awesome! Thanks Stefano Italy

Your tutorial videos are outstanding. Exceptional work.

Thanks again for the great tutorial!!!

Ian, this is good. By following your tutorial I have achieved a fantastic result from some forgotten and almost discarded shots of Orion. Only that PS denied to align them together and during applying median filter the "Orion" disappeared. So I had to watch another of your Episode of Straightening horizon and individually aligned 40 frames - I just had to align the 3 stars in the belt. I also saw another channel where the photographer advises for Dithering - moving camera by couple of star Dia so that the noise reduction can be better. I will have to practice that but then if I am taking a frame every 25-30 sec, the stars will move so Dithering happens automatically. Idk - let me try and see what reduces the noise most. But as of now your tutorial is just fantastic. THANK YOU.

Great tutorial. Thanks!

Really really great tutorial. Thanks for your help

Really awesome! Nice job. Ill be trying this first clear night.

Nice work! Great tutorial!

time to tear my pocket and spend money on a telescope. Thank you so much for the efforts in sharing this amazing tutorial. Ya know in my country you would pay a lot of money to give courses about these effects. Thank you again. I really appreciate it... Faisal Saudi Arabia

Thank you very much! Without seeing this I had just taken a similar shot and struggled with getting colour from it. Do not have much knowledge in that part of the process. So again . .Thank you!

mindblowing bro,exceptional job.
