Stunning John. Thank you. Left field question. SNAKES!! we went walking in Cattai wetlands near Taree on the weekend and we scurried out after confronting a couple of red-bellies. What sort of precautions do you take other than the stomps and genereal keen eye
That is one awesome pano! And I gotta compliment the quality of video too, because it really is great. Some get that quality in a studio, so kudos to be able to do it in a field.
Bam John!! This is so bloody crisp. Awesome work. I'll finally be going to a dark sky place next month (after 4 years) trying to do some MW pano with a tamron 35 1.4 on a R5. Let's see if i learned something from your way of working. (i'll post it on the FB page when it's done)
Fantastic Panorama, another excellent video. John when a video edits these panoramics with the photos from the two cameras ??? Until your next video 👋👌👍
@@johnrutterphotography I 'm sorry for my english If you can publish a video explaining how you reveal the photos of the two cameras in a single panorama,
Another great video and incredible image. Absolutely love it. Re aperture I could be wrong but I think it makes the post processing a bit easier if you use the same f ratio for both cameras.
@@johnrutterphotography focus breathing changes the size of the images slightly if you use different apertures, but I forgot you're using the clip in filter which might also affect things.
@@BLarsenPhoto i also use 2 different cameras so the pixel scale is different, i have to register images together anyway so i end up with 2 identical frames, focus breathing isnt an issue nor the shape of the stars as i only intergrate starless Ha,
Epic image and a great video! I saw in one of your other videos about you not re-levelling between shots. I couldn’t find the discussion on the Facebook page to read up, but it appears you didn’t do it with this one? Does this create issues when blending foreground to sky? Cheers.
Cheers Tristan 🍻, I did re level the mount for this image just for balance, but you don't have to as long as when your shooting your horizon row it's level. So if I start at the top row and it's gona take 2 hours to get all the frames (earth rotates at 15 degrees per hr) I'd lay the mount over 30 degrees, the mound then tracks back to level when I hit my horizon row and the blend is all good, If you start at the bottom and work up it's simple, just setup level at the start and let it run.
You've got different sensor sizes here, so when you're processing the panoramas out, what are you doing with the different pixel dimensions? Also, with the HA+ filter, if you get a modded sensor with a clip-in RGB & HA filter, you could switch out to the 12nm HA clip-in to take HA narrowband data too, right? I get why you have 2 setups, but I'm thinking for my personal self, being able to see all the pretty nebulea in the cygnus region. If I'm understanding it properly, I can have 1 modded camera to do all the things? Sorry, this was a lot, Haha! Amazing work as always!
I have to register each matching frame in software so I end up with the same pixel scale first. If you had a Ha modified camera NOT full spectrum you wouldn't need ha+ filter you could just but a 12nm filter for the narrowband and do exactly what you want with one camera
Hi John great video and final image. I noticed when you shot your foreground you started from the middle and went right, then recentred and went left. Is there a reason why you didn't just go from far left to far right, like you did for the sky? I also noticed you started the sky top left going to the right for the rising MW, so would you start bottom right and go to the left for a sinking MW.
Hey mate, I started the foreground in the centre so I could get the windmill in the centre of a single frame and not on a join to ensure a perfect stitch especially with such a wide apature (sharpest in the middle) I could have worked it out and started to one side I guess, but the order doesn't matter. As far as the sky goes the order you choose depends on what you want to prioritise in your image, I wanted the core as high over the horizon, so I start at the top to give the core time to get up as I work across and down, because the height above the horizon is determined by the frame that includes the horizon in it. It locks the sky to the foreground. Later in the season when the core is low I shoot bottom row first to lock it in and work up from there In saying all that the wider the lens you use the less this matters as you get through all images before any significant movement happens.
@@johnrutterphotography I use the app (syncscan pro) but I cannot see the Track command. What is the pathway of the Track command? Utilities? Very poor instruction came with the device and nothing about the app.
@@johnrutterphotography Hi John, just turned on. There are 3 options inside Tracking, No Tracking, sidereal, and Lunar. For Milky Way, do I need to Tick on Sidereal? It is in Equatorial Mode. Also, in Setting>Guiding Rae RA/AZ and Dec/ALT = Sideral? The default was 0.5x Sidereal.
Your intro of music at 3:30 (for the setup) was not audio leveled correctly, causing my speakers to shriek in pain with the volume. Please verify your audio leveling is consistent throughout the video to retain viewer interest. Overall, the subject matter and presentation was excellent. Bravo!

Excellent entertainment and wowsers fabulous final image 🔭🔭🔭🔭 great job.
Thanks carl, I appreciate that mate 👍
Great work again John. Who doesn't love a good milky way windmill shot ..!!!!
Thanks Richard, 👍 they are very overdone...but I couldn't drive past this without grabbing an image.
Another pearler John, insane colours and details in your image as usual. 😎👌👍
Cheers geoff! 🍻
Absolutely stunningly sick image mate!!!! So tempted to give the twins a crack!!!!!
Haha do it man
What a great picture. Amazing work John. Greetings from germany
Thanks Roland 👍 I appreciate it mate
Absolutely stunning image John 👏👏👏
Cheers mate 👍
That set up is so freaking cool! Awesome video, like the music as well 🔥🔥
Thanks mate, it's a bit of a handful but I agree it's a cool thing to look at
wow, stunning pano. thats a monster rig too🤯
Cheers mate 👍 it's definitely a big rig all put together
Knocked it out of the park on that one! Absolutely top class!!
Thanks mate, I appreciate it
Excellent results 👏! Great video as well🤩
Thanks 👍 I appreciate the support 🙏
Amazing mate, sensational colours m and amazing work :) well done as always.
Thanks Alan 👍 appreciate it mate

Well! I think you've got the hang of it. Like your style, a beer or ... and aa beautiful sky.
Slowly getting use to it! Hahah a beer or...10 🍺 🤣

Spectacular image! Have always wanted to photograph the MW over a windmill but you don't see them here in California.
Thanks Cheryl 👍 they are everywhere in Western NSW.
Great shot
Thanks Ian 👍
Great vlog al always mate! Your dedication and ditto results keep on blowing me away. Now tháts how a pano should be done 😎👌
Thanks man 👍
Love these videos John, keep it up!

Thanks mate, I'm still young enough to contort myself to see in the scope but I will eventually get the right angle scope.
Stunning image John....2 mins F2 iso 3200 is my goto on the Sigma 40mm for Ha too 😁
I'm still messing around with the settings, I dunno what's best at this stage. Glad to hear I'm somewhat in the ballpark
So so good!!! Loving your vids John. Keep it up
Thanks for the support
One of your best!
Cheers buddy 👍
Great work John, you set the bar so high and always clear it. Gives the rest of us something to aspire to. Well done again.
Thanks Tom 👍 just like everyone, I try to keep progressing and improving.
Stunning John. Thank you. Left field question. SNAKES!! we went walking in Cattai wetlands near Taree on the weekend and we scurried out after confronting a couple of red-bellies. What sort of precautions do you take other than the stomps and genereal keen eye
Thanks Andrew 👍 all that info is in my next video so stay tuned to see how I deal with all that.
That is one awesome pano! And I gotta compliment the quality of video too, because it really is great. Some get that quality in a studio, so kudos to be able to do it in a field.
Thanks for the feedback mate, been trying to up the quality of the videos.
looked like a bit of Aurora towards the end of the timelapse too
I wish! Missed it by a couple of days

Absolutely amazing! One of the best Milkyway panoramas I have ever ss seen! Congratulations! Are you not interested in timelapses?
Thanks mate 👍 I only do timelapses for my videos,which im not good at,, my passion is just imaging
Fantastic Panorama, another excellent video.

Just bloody awesome mate your photos have just got the wow factor that I love
What do you use to power all your equipment in the field John 😊
Thanks Chris, the mount just runs on AA batteries, and I power the cameras and dew heaters with power banks

It is controlled through the synscan app, you will need to turn on tracking in the app
