    Thanks once again for a wonderfully detailed editing video. I took lots of notes and will be revisiting the Orion image I took last weekend, and then plan to blend it with an image I took out in Joshua Tree National Park at one of my favorite areas with two Joshua trees in it, looking to the east. I'll use PlanIt Pro to make sure I have the alignment of Orion close to real life as I only have an image of the Pleiades rising from that same spot this past August and am not sure if I'll make it back out to see where Orion actually rises there.

    Thank you for making another post processing video Richard! I will try this in a few days when I am back home behind my computer processing the meteor shower over sand dunes in Death Valley (California). I was very lucky - cloudy for two weeks straight (including forthcoming days) with the only clear night being the one where I shot the meteors. By the way, I got the chance to used the two Ulanzi VL49 LED RGB panel lights you recommended to put some light on the dunes and they worked great. (I set them at 1 and 3 percent power for a 13 second exposure - does not take much on a dark night!)

    @robertleeimages 10 месяцев назад +1

    Not really fussed about where Orion is opposed to where it was, when we stack milkyway shots it's in a slightly different position to the 1st sky image anyway. The brightening of the foreground image to match the final sky also isn't a problem, we usually have a lot of light pollution on the horizon so it still looks realistic to me. I'd like to wish you and your family a safe and merry Christmas, and look forward to next year's journey which hopefully i can get my backside into gear and get out more also

    Hi Richard, wonderful video. I’ve watched many of your tutorials and have enjoyed all of them and have learned a lot. I haven’t seen one on how exactly you get your sky loaded into the sky replacement section of PS. I’ve been getting it done but would like to know your method. In this video, you export a tiff file out to a folder on your HD then you go to PS and work your fore ground images and the do your sky replacement and WALA their it is already loaded in the sky replacement section of PS. How did you get it to show up automatically like that?
    I have to bring up the sky replacement section and hit the plus icon to load my new sky into the existing group. Thank for all your incredible help. You are generous with your knowledge and easy to learn from . Happy holidays!

    @RafaelCBeltrame 8 месяцев назад +1

    Hi, Richard. How are you? Recently, I was studying how to capture the Bernard's loop. Some tutorials suggests hours of exposure and/or stacking. But you were able to capture it with just one single exposure. Dou you think these tutorials were talking about stock cameras (non modified for Ha)? Best Wishes!

    • @nightscapeimages.richard
      @nightscapeimages.richard  8 месяцев назад +1

      I'm going well Rafael. There is no doubt that you'll get more detail and better results with more exposure time. I think the h-alpha mod cameras really help to see more of Barnard's loop etc for sure. But I think one of the most important things is to find clear and dark skies. It makes a big difference.

      That depends on what shutter speed you want to use and how you intend to trigger your camera. For the majority of cameras you'll have to set them to Bulb mode to go longer than 30 second shutter speed. All the other settings will be in manual.
