Alright, looks like I forgot to mention two things: - I did not add flat frames when I was explaining which images I need (and what flat frames are) - and exif for star glow image: ISO 1000, f2, 15 seconds :D
Fantastic capture! Very inspirational for me to push myself to capture something new in astrophotography. Thank you! Wishing you a speedy recovery. Take care!
Hey thank you for sharing! What a great deepscape you got there! Brilliant planning. You always seem so happy when you're talking to the camera and your English seems to be getting more fluently! 💪👍
Outstanding image, Matej - I think that’s the first deepscape with the heart and soul that I’ve seen. The composition with the church is just 👌. Hope you’re continuing to recover, and it was awesome to see another video from you.
The Heart Nebula is one of my favorite deep-sky objects. That's a beautiful composition, with the church in the foreground and the mountains behind it. I have not seen many images of it with a landscape in the foregound. As for star glow filters, I have several different diffusion filters and have been eager to test how they perform with stars, but the weather hasn't cooperated so far.
Thank you, Tim! I think it is because that target can be quite high for some and it can be a challenge to find a suitable landscape to go along with it. I was looking at a few (Tiffen, Kase, etc...), and someone was selling Kenko for 30€, which was quite cheap. It is a good filter - Alan Dyer made a review comparing it to Alyn's and Tiffen's. Hope you will make a vlog about that too. I dont think there is a single star glow comparison video out there.
Glad you managed to get out with your camera Matej, even if it was only a short distance...fantastic detail in the image 👏& good luck with your recovery...
Always a good night when Matej releases a new video! Great planning, great adventure and great result! I think the video is also really well put together mate. I hope the injury gets better soon also. And oh, what lens adapter are you using for the Samyang? I really need that lens back for Nikon now I've sold the Canon one a while ago!
Jeroen, my friend, thank you so much! Happy to hear you enjoyed it. I use the Nikon F version. It is a great lens. I mean, I have Tamron G2 70-200mm as well, but Samyang is much more compact and faster.
Great to see a video from you again, and that final image is beautiful! And about why so many of your vlogs are about that same mountain? Let me tell you, if I had a mountain like that close to me - ALL of my vlogs would be from there 😂
Thank you for watching and compliments, Martin :D. Haha, I think I understand you, but you know, you have beautiful landscape too... its just a bit different :D
@matej.mlakar yes, I love the landscape here as well. And I've always been about working with what you have around the corner But I got some mountains in my latest video at least 🙂
Hey, thanks a lot! I shoot only flats and even that I do it only when I'm doing "DSO" or stacking. When I'm shooting panos, where I have single image per panel, I skip flats.
Yeah, I forgot to explain that. Shooting the tablet is for taking "flat frames". Flat frames are used to correct images for unwanted brightness changes across the the image, such as vignetting and it also removes any dust spots on lens or camera sensor, which would be normally visible on the images.

Glad to see you again! Great capture ❤

And agree, nightscape without coffee is a challenge 😅
Thank you very much! Ah, if you are addicted to coffee, even daytime functioning can be a challenge :D
Get well soon Matej! Awesome video:) so explain everything so well! And incredible final image!
Hey, thank you very much! And thanks for get-well wishes as well :D
Fantastic capture! Very inspirational for me to push myself to capture something new in astrophotography. Thank you! Wishing you a speedy recovery. Take care!

Hey thank you for sharing! What a great deepscape you got there! Brilliant planning. You always seem so happy when you're talking to the camera and your English seems to be getting more fluently! 💪👍
Haha, thanks you, my friend! :D I think a good night out makes eveyone happy :D
Great Vlog Matej...! Thanks for sharing. The image is really beautiful. Looking forward to your next astro adventure!
Thanks a lot, Benjamin. I really appreciate your continued support!
Great shot 🤩 and I feel you on sleep deprivation, coffee rarely works for me
Thank you very much! Yeah, I miss coffee a lot :D
Nice to see you back in business. Good health to you!
Hey, Freddy, thank you very much! Should I use flash of light or some other spell? :D
@ perhaps Renew? 😂
@@frexizz as long as its not Redemption :D
Beautiful!. This inspires me to retry that target someday soon, but I do not have a landscape like that! Great work.
Thank you and I am really happy to hear, because if I can inspire even just one person with those vlogs, than this is it.
Outstanding image, Matej - I think that’s the first deepscape with the heart and soul that I’ve seen. The composition with the church is just 👌.
Hope you’re continuing to recover, and it was awesome to see another video from you.
Ye, it can be quite high for a lot of people, maybe that's why it can be overlooked :D. And thank you for your kind words and support!
What a wonderful final image you captured here Matej .. love it. Also enjoyed seeing your process for shooting these type of images.
Thanks a lot Richard! And I cant wait to see your next adventure.

Hey, thank you very much for your kind words and support! Happy to hear you liked it, means a lot :)
Stunning result Matej 👌, and interesting tip with using the z6 in video mode. The z6iii has starlight view mode but I'll try it with the z6 next time.
Thank you very much! Z6iii is great... even Z6ii because of live charging and extended shutter :D those are the only things I miss on my Z6

@@MartinFransson I see you uploaded a new vlog :D finally! I cant wait to watch it
@matej.mlakar yes, and I even got a mountain this time 🙂
Nice video man! Are you shooting only flats or also darks?
Hey, thanks a lot! I shoot only flats and even that I do it only when I'm doing "DSO" or stacking. When I'm shooting panos, where I have single image per panel, I skip flats.
@matej.mlakar ok sounds reasonable! Keep up the good work💪🏻
Thanks for such educational videos! It opens a different perspective!
What's the purpose of that RGB step and shooting the tablet?
Yeah, I forgot to explain that. Shooting the tablet is for taking "flat frames". Flat frames are used to correct images for unwanted brightness changes across the the image, such as vignetting and it also removes any dust spots on lens or camera sensor, which would be normally visible on the images.
