Loved the intro. I can confirm solid autofocus. And I stopped the video to comment so that I could comply with all the directives contained in the test. Now back to Orion.

Brilliant, thanks! Recently bought a MSM kit and that led me to your videos. I always appreciate the time people take to help others on here, it really is fantastic of you. Thanks again!
I should be getting my MSM kit in a couple of days. This video shows me exactly what I want to do for my next step. I live way out in the country, away from almost any light pollution, and I have a fantastic view of Orion from my front yard. I think I'll be trying this process real soon! Thanks much for this video.
Hi, I have been shooting Orion and processing my shoots in this way with a few years. It would be interesting to hear your views on using the photoshop plugin StarXTerminator and using it to separate the stars for the nebulosity.
Personally, I like the version with the trees and the mountains in.....superb! This tutorial is just excellent. I didn't know it was possible to extract that much detail and produce images of this quality with unmodified cameras.....this has been a real inspiration and motivation. Thank you!! :-)
Dude you rock! This came out of nowhere! I am blown away, how many ways Photoshop offers and how you came up with this. Can't wait to try this on my own. Instant sub.
Just amazing. I ordered the MSM and started watching your videos. I am amazed by the detailed instructions you give with the old patience you have. I hope its all good on your side and that you will make some new amazing videos soon ! Liked, commented, subscribed !
I've learned A LOT from your videos. THANK YOU!!! One question. Why not put the camera on before polar aligning? Can't putting the camera on after affect the alignment?
Great video. Do you use the internal noise reduction of the camera on such images.? How did you expose longer than 30 seconds, is it possible with Canon without switching to bulb mode?
@@chasingluminance Watching the videos to calibrate the polar and laser alignment was outstanding - perfectly aligned now. Waiting for a good night now.
I go back and forth between photoshop and sequator.... I've actually found that I like how photoshop handles "sky only" pictures. Sequator is still fantastic for stacking with foregrounds
@@chasingluminance I'm afraid to raise my ISO because I'm thinking it will washbaway any details and highlights will be blown out...if I'm using 50mm...will 1min exposure with 800ISO worknas a starting point? Thanks! Your videos helped me convince to get an MSM haha. Thanks!
I like having the video but I also like having written instructions. They don't need to be detailed just bullet points with a sentence or two for each step.
Loved the intro. I can confirm solid autofocus. And I stopped the video to comment so that I could comply with all the directives contained in the test. Now back to Orion.
Watched a lot of your videos and they are great. Picked up a few good tips. MSM advice is what I look for. Keep going and thanks.
Thank you! That's great to hear
Wow, that is amazing what you can do! I would love to learn how to do all of this. Thank you!
I'm booking those zoom classes, let me know!
Summit County and Stars...not sure it could get any better for me! I'm looking forward to watching more of your work.
That was an awesome walkthrough from Lightroom to photoshop and all the little tweaks to bring out the colors!
Hope it helps!
Thank You. Can't wait to do some processing.
Have fun!
great vid!🤩 i ordered msm rotator last week and cannot wait to edit my tracked photos with the way you shared🤗🤓
Hope you enjoy it!
Nice job Alex! Still thinking I want one of those MSM devices. Thanks for the reminder.😀
of course i have to now plug my affiliate link in the description! they are great little trackers, i'm taking mine out tonight to test the scope

@@NebulaPhotos that is strange. When I click it , it stays 73... odd.
@@NebulaPhotos if you're ready to buy email chasingluminance@gmail.com ... I'll send you a direct link
Brilliant, thanks!

Thanks from Italy!
Glad I could help!

This is awesone
😁 thank you!!
Brilliant video, great detail around the photo editing! Subscribed! 😁
thanks for the subscribe!!! i'm starting to have a lot of fun with these videos.
Well done. Can follow these instructions in Photoshop and using MSM than getting a star stacker product. Thanks!
Glad to hear it!

I haven't used it yet, but I just started playing with starnet++

I'm so glad you're enjoying... and i like the trees too. i've use this spot a few more times... videos to come

Awesome!!! Thank you so much for that. If you have any ideas for more videos please, let me know!
Always me, did you use any light pollution filters?
No, I never do
@@chasingluminance ok, thanks...this means that you have a beautiful dark sky above you
Great video
I've learned A LOT from your videos. THANK YOU!!! One question. Why not put the camera on before polar aligning? Can't putting the camera on after affect the alignment?
You make this very easy to understand
Great Pic!!!
Thank you!
Great video, thank you for sharing. Did you end up doing 4 minute exposures?
Yes, 4 minutes
Great video.
Do you use the internal noise reduction of the camera on such images.?
How did you expose longer than 30 seconds, is it possible with Canon without switching to bulb mode?
I do not use the internal noise reduction... and i either use a intervalometer and bulb mode or use the magic lantern softwear on my 6d
Bought a MSM Rotator just before watching this. Can't wait to put these steps in practice.
awesome! hope you enjoy
How long did the set-up take? Would like to see more set-ups on the MSM.
Once you get used to it, setting up the msm only takes a few minutes
@@chasingluminance Watching the videos to calibrate the polar and laser alignment was outstanding - perfectly aligned now. Waiting for a good night now.
Awesome! Can’t edit to try it. Thx!
Have fun!
Alex, any reason you don't use Sequator to average your Orion images?
I go back and forth between photoshop and sequator.... I've actually found that I like how photoshop handles "sky only" pictures. Sequator is still fantastic for stacking with foregrounds
I have a lot to learn about Photoshop hahaha. I use free software right now, Darktable and Gimp. Might explore an Adobe subscription soon.
Really informative. Star reduction action? Is this downloadable from your site?
It should be. I'll work on that
Can we get an image of the constellation if the moon is out?
You can, but it's way better no moon

Depends on your f/stop. I'd suggest using your histogram to judge exposure. Camera screens can be deceiving
@@chasingluminance alright. Thanks a lot! More videos! 😄
I know you’re in Colorado, but are you from Canada 🇨🇦? I think I hear it in your accent
My dad was Canadian, maybe some of it rubbed off
@@chasingluminance well Cheers from a Canadian living in Las Vegas, love your videos. Just ordered the Move Shoot Move 🤟🏼
Dope
im a noob... just found your channel...ordered a nomad today...wish me luck.
Enjoy!

i wonder how people stack orion nebula with milky way in one picture 🤯🤔🤔
