Just take multiple images and stack in something like Sequator. That will reduce noise and give you a file that will be able to be pushed further than a single shot.
I usually shoot a preview image on 6400, 12800 or 25600 iso since im looking for the sharpness of the dots, i think i only need like less than 1 second exposures on 11800 or 25600
I'd think ISO 6400 is a bit overkill.. but it seems my bridge camera could be able to do this!! 28mm f2.8, maximum ISO (comfortable) of around 800, and it can do 30s if needed
Put it in live view, then zoom in on a bright star and get a sharp focus then turn off live view and make sure auto focus is off. . It's also good to use mirror up mode if you have a DSLR to prevent shaking. If you have an electronic shutter study how to use it.
Hey i know this is not camera related, but can you make a video addressing light pollution levels according to geographical regions. I live in central america, and never in my life have i seen the milky way. Not sure if at this angle by the tropics it is even visible.
do you wanna see it with bare eyes? good luck if you live within light polution. if you have the chance to move to a dark spot and yor eyes are not the worst, then you may see it. hint: get a blindfold like a pirate to cover your good eye against white lights like your mobile phone screen, uncover it only to look into the sky, white light will make your pupil smaller and you will have to wait at least 10...20 minutes until it is open again. lean against a car or sit down or lay down to not fall over from dizzyness before taking of your blindfold. if possible use only red light (head lamp and cameras like the canon 750d have the option to switch the screen to all red for settings).
What camera and lens are you using just out of curiosity. I have a canon 5d mark ii and it has some banding issues at certain isos. Do you think it would still work well?
I use a Sony a7r4 and Tamron 17-28mm for most of my Milky Way shots! I haven't heard anything about the banding issues on the 5dii but I know it is an older camera at this point and would expect better results out of some of the newer bodies.
I’m using the a6400 and when I use these settings I get a white picture. I have to turn my iso to around 200-400 to get a clearer image or down to 100 if I want it dark and then post process the view. I really want to do Astrophotography but it’s not going well 😭
@@AustinJamesJackson I wouldnt say so but I dont actually know how to determine that to be honest. This was up on a local hill/mountain of mine in a small town.
I really want to get milkyway shots and deep sky objects, but unfortunately the light pollution is pretty bad where im from. Would a star tracker mount help alleviate that issue? There is a somewhat dark spot in my neighborhood. I can see lots of stars, but no milkyway. It's hard to go to dark places if you live in South Florida unless youre near the everglades. I use 18mm aps-c at f-3.5, and i find 5-15 second exposures give me the best results without star trails, but I also feel like a star mount would bring me to the next level.
@garnetklee9837 I guess he is on apsc so around 24mm, thats a pretty standard wide angle but something like a 16mm can make an image look way different
I'm new to photography. Why you use higher ISO instead of the lowest as you already in a tripod where you can simply increase a little bit more shutter speed to compensate the lost stop? Please enlighten me. Only because of the tracing?
You use the higher ISO because not only does it brighten your images, a lower ISO for long exposures actually creates more noise. 20 second exposure is just right that way you don’t see star trails.
Err, you also need an app like photopills to tell you exactly where the center of the galaxy is too otherwise you could be taking a picture of nothing 😂

The Malky Way lol
Yeah!
That is What i just heard.
Lol😂
MAAAALLLKKKKKK
I was gonna say the same shit hahahaha MALKY 😂
You'll need a camera with good enough light performance because 6400 can cause a lot of grain on older or lower end cameras
True!
ISO 3200 is indeed better for older cameras, which can be combined with 30s shutter speed for astrophotography
@LesleyWhite-b3e tell us more
@LesleyWhite-b3emy friend have 6d for astrophotography, that's crazy clear
Just take multiple images and stack in something like Sequator. That will reduce noise and give you a file that will be able to be pushed further than a single shot.
Disable noice reduction. Disable steady shot. Aim for the milky-way. Do it in fall or spring.
Yup!

I do that sometimes too, but you should also try Bright Monitoring if you’re using Sony!
use a bahtinov masc to get the focus sweetspot
best wide angle for a 6400?
Definitely helps! Thank you sir
Glad it helped!
GET THE MAN A GLASS OF MALK!!!
Thank you! 😂

@@AustinJamesJackson He said it on purpose to generate comments, to bring him up in the algorithm
I’m going to try this on my ol’ 30D
Good luck!
how do you get it to focus on the landscape in front of the camera if let's say the f1.4 is focusing into the stars?
You'll need to do a focus stack
melky way is crazy😭
Haha

I don't think you'll have a bright enough image at only ISO 800
@AustinJamesJackson I'll have to find out sometime. Or wait for a bright night
White balance on incandescent!
I prefer to use AWB but incandescent isn't bad!
How do you get focus on landscape and stars with a wide aperture
Aperture shouldn't affect the difficulty of getting it in focus.I have another short video covering how to get focus in the dark if you're struggling!
Put it in live view, then zoom in on a bright star and get a sharp focus then turn off live view and make sure auto focus is off. . It's also good to use mirror up mode if you have a DSLR to prevent shaking. If you have an electronic shutter study how to use it.
So many great tips on your channel thank you 🙏
Thanks for watching!
What about 500 rule and include factor of APS C camera
I talked about that in another Reel!
Hey i know this is not camera related, but can you make a video addressing light pollution levels according to geographical regions. I live in central america, and never in my life have i seen the milky way. Not sure if at this angle by the tropics it is even visible.
I'll add this to the list in the future!
do you wanna see it with bare eyes? good luck if you live within light polution. if you have the chance to move to a dark spot and yor eyes are not the worst, then you may see it.
hint: get a blindfold like a pirate to cover your good eye against white lights like your mobile phone screen, uncover it only to look into the sky, white light will make your pupil smaller and you will have to wait at least 10...20 minutes until it is open again.

if possible use only red light (head lamp and cameras like the canon 750d have the option to switch the screen to all red for settings).
Maybe one day i'll try this with my canon r100
Good luck!
How are you not getting light trailing on the stars on a 20-second exposure? Do you have a star tracker?
On a wide angle you won’t see streaking after 20 seconds!
What camera and lens are you using just out of curiosity. I have a canon 5d mark ii and it has some banding issues at certain isos. Do you think it would still work well?

Are you shooting somewhere with lots of light pollution?
@@AustinJamesJackson I wouldnt say so but I dont actually know how to determine that to be honest. This was up on a local hill/mountain of mine in a small town.
How much of the final image is the result of post-processing, and what does your typical workflow look like?
I have some longer videos on my channel with processing. A lot of the process definitely happens on the computer!
I really want to get milkyway shots and deep sky objects, but unfortunately the light pollution is pretty bad where im from. Would a star tracker mount help alleviate that issue?

It may help a little bit, but the light pollution may also drown out the sky on a longer exposure. You can certainly try it and see!
move to a spot with bortle 5, bortle 4 or better
Can I do it without wide angle lens? I have only 18 - 135 mm lens.
You can!
@@AustinJamesJackson Thanks for the great info :).
Isn't 18mm already wide angle?
Anything wider I'd consider ultra wide
@garnetklee9837 I guess he is on apsc so around 24mm, thats a pretty standard wide angle but something like a 16mm can make an image look way different
Is a star tracker necessary To shoot the Milky Way ?
No!

The comment below is correct! This is just for star photos where you'd do this.
Is a 35mm f/1.4 lens suited for these types of shots?
Sure! It's a little tight but you can still capture the Milky Way core!
I have a nikon coolpix p90, does that work?
Sure!
Is that a Nikon?
Sony!
Get this man a glass of malk
😅
Yeah. I would love to do this. But i live in the Netherlands. Look up a satellite image of our night sky. There is always light pollution here 😢
Dang! That’s too bad.
First know WHEN the core is in view😂
Yeah!
I like the way this guy's face moves
Thanks!
who is malk and why we doing it his way ?
🥛
Hey nice video but wich camera and lens do you use?
Sony a7r4!
can i do it on my iphone 😢
Sadly you won't get nearly the results you'd get on a camera.
Give the man a glass of malk
🥛
my camera doesn't even go to 3200 iso💔
Dang!
@@AustinJamesJackson meant it only goes to 3200, and that's the max
No trails at 20sec?
Not on an ultra-wide lens!
*use a light pollution map, it is very helpful (:
True!
If you keep your aperture above or around f/8 you'll get a sharper image, you'll just have to raise your iso
You’ll have too much noise, better to stop down.
@@AustinJamesJackson try lightrooms ai de-noise if you haven't yet, it's a game changer
The malky
😂
i tried 30 sec but its just show stars not milkyway 😢
18mm F3.5
and i took photo darkest spot ever
Were you facing the right direction?
@@AustinJamesJackson i dont know but even 30 sec exposure there no cool purple-yellowish galaxy colors
Err, you also need an app like photopills to tell you exactly where the center of the galaxy is too otherwise you could be taking a picture of nothing 😂
If you're in a dark enough area, you should be able to see it with your eyes.
