What things do you or did you struggle with when starting astrophotography? I want to make videos that help overcome the obstacles in this hobby...leave a comment!
Thank you so much Zoliro. This video was very very helpful. I was little overwhelmed by the amount of gears you need to start this beautiful hobby. Your video helped me a lot. I think every beginner Astrophotographer should watch this.
I just realized I am way too simple minded and not educated enough to be able to do this. Thank you for the time you took making this content. Best Break Down I’ve seen yet.
Great video. Exactly what I needed to know since a lot of info, as you say in the beginning of your video, sounds like another language to me. Since I don’t use any photoshop or imaging software, it seems like this hobby would be too difficult for me. I’m gonna start just by observing the skies and familiarizing myself to handling a telescope and where and what things are as far as stars and planets and galaxies, then move to photographing and eventually astrophotography. Looks like even the modest equipment will cost me a lot of money. Thanks again for a great video, one that I can come back to as I go along.
Encouraging! When I started astro, everyone says 1-2arc second res, mono or die, chroma or trash , 50% weight etc, and 2 years after I gonna say what's wrong with my 135mm lens?And what's wrong with my SWSA? Just try whatever you have, don't jump into the deep rabbit hole right away.
This is a great presentation of astrophotography concepts and gives the beginner a good starting point. Well done. Only negative is the atrocious elevator music here and there. 😉
I appreciate that! Yeah, shooting video and editing was a bit rough lol. I learned that making videos about astrophotography and actual astrophotography are quite different.
Is it necessary to have a GoTo system or is it enough to have an equatorial mount. And one more question. Is the equatorial mount alone capable of tracking the object?
@jakubpuchaa2641 An equatorial mount that is fitted with a motor drive would work OK. But if you wanted to control everything from a computer and use a guiding scope for long exposures then you would need a GoTo. Hope that helps.
I just bought the new Macbook M1 and I use Pixinsight. Pixinsight is often seen by many in the astro community as the top astrophtography software for stacking and processing. I don't know if that's true or not, because I would need to try every stacking program out there... but I really like it. The issue with Pixinsight is that it is not user friendly for beginners. But once you take the time to learn it, it's fantastic software. Another option I see many Mac owners using is Astro Pixel Processor or APP. I've never used it, but I hear it's much more user friendly towards beginners. APP and Pixinsight both have free trials.
Sure! Here's one for the Pixinsight trial: pixinsight.com/trial/index.html And here's the other for the Astro Pixel Processor trial: www.astropixelprocessor.com/product/astro-pixel-processor-30-day-trial-license/
Thanks for overview of astro photography I m planning for last 6 years And one week before I have capture timelapse through sony a73 Sony 14 mm lens If u want to see msg me I glad to share with u

U can do it, don’t stress it. I’m 13 and I’m thriving at this thing
I just got out of kindergarten don't give up
I was just born. You got this!
im still in the womb thriving, you can do it !
I'm still in the ball sack, stay positive!
All you need to start Astro photography is a camera and tripod, No telescope needed.
Thanks for sharing!
I would love to see a tutorial on setting up your rig and getting started on first light 👌🏻
The best Intro tutorial to astrophotography I have seen. It is REALLY where anyone interested in this hobby should start. Thank you.
Great information and presentation... Very well balanced! Your going in a great direction with your hobby, or should I say, your Passion.
Thanks Dennis!!!
Thanks for the insight. I'm a newbie to astronomy and certain that I will venture into Astrophotography.
Wow. Great video. Very detailed and for beginners. I'm trying to get into Astrophotography. So let's see how that goes.
Finally! Great video! Keep it coming Daniel!
Thanks! Will do!
Great tutorial! Just what I was looking for. Thank you.
Fantastic images and great advice, Zoliro!
Thanks Tom! Glad you found it helpful!

LIght Bulb!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks dude. From 13:49 to 14:20 was all I needed. Camera upgrade it is then. Scopes next. LoL Cheers my Friend & FySaFe.
Excellent intro. I wish I had seen this when I was starting out.
The quality of your video is outstanding. You deserve a large viewership.

Great video!
Excellent organization, information, and presentation! Keep going.
Glad you liked it!
Great overview, thanks.
This is so awesome, thank you!!
Awesome video! You can absolutely 💯get some cool images without spending $$$
Definitely!
Personally I think Newtonians are good for nebulae and deep space. I think you just need to select the right size camera sensor and telescope.
Nicely done.

the worst part of getting into astro is the price for me
I love the video Bro. and especially that intro!!! Keep it up!!!
Thanks Dwight!
Love this Video. Practical information with an advance professional publish format.

I dont understand astrophotography. Its camera + telescope but if i have a for example a canon camera how can i fuse it with my telescope
Nice work ❤️
Thank you!
What telescope do u use
Very cool
Thanks 😁
What would you recommend for stacking? I use an Apple Mac.
I just bought the new Macbook M1 and I use Pixinsight. Pixinsight is often seen by many in the astro community as the top astrophtography software for stacking and processing. I don't know if that's true or not, because I would need to try every stacking program out there... but I really like it. The issue with Pixinsight is that it is not user friendly for beginners.

@@ZoliroAstro Brilliant. Do you have a link for both?
Sure! Here's one for the Pixinsight trial: pixinsight.com/trial/index.html
And here's the other for the Astro Pixel Processor trial: www.astropixelprocessor.com/product/astro-pixel-processor-30-day-trial-license/
@@ZoliroAstro Fantastic! TYSM!
❤
You have to be an expert in Photoshop to get this high quality pictures.
Thanks for overview of astro photography
I m planning for last 6 years
And one week before I have capture timelapse through sony a73
Sony 14 mm lens
If u want to see msg me
I glad to share with u
No they don’t lol they recommend a swsa or ioptron sky guider a 135mm lens dew heater mask tripod eos 60d and a power source
Music background is annoying
On of these days I'll grow a pair and buy PixInsight! argggg
