I was new to photography a year ago. After watching the basics, I have had the strong foundation. And now, I was able to take photos of the milky way and create star trails. Thanks to you!
I have been planning to get back into astrophotography after a 20 year hiatus. The leap from film to digital is going to be a big one, really appreciate this series. Don't know if barn door trackers are still a thing, but still plan on making a new one. : )
Hi Vincent, Thanks for all your videos. They've been immensely helpful for me beginning in photography. I have a question/request: do you have transcripts of your videos available, and if not, are you able to provide them? Thanks, Jason.
Thank you for your time and effort to create these videos, I love them even though I don't own any kind of camera (yet). Your style kind of reminds me of Kurzgesagt but it is still unique. I hope I will soon be able to take some cool astrophotos myself! Greetings from Germany :)
Kurzgesagt was my inspiration, so I'm humbled that you would compare my animations to theirs. I think I need to learn some new After Effects techniques though and really experiment.
Wow... I knew Bahtinov Mask's existed.. and knew they made that strange star shapes.. but I always wondered "WHY ANYONE WOULD WANT THAT" ... I could have had one for free for my telescope, but didn't see the point.. My bag was full, so would have been a hassle to carry with everything else, so I just said no... Now that I know you can use it for better focusing, I feel like a fool. Thank you for your video..
I saw your one video on youtube, randomly And today i watched all your 16 videos Why I like these? Because these are simplistic (most important), not to long and this animation give better understand then real life explain😂😂. We have only one problem there is not much of these videos and I know you are new here You should make some tip vid about wild and maybe some video tips (film etc.)
Sure! I already address some of this in my videos about ISO and photography misconceptions but a dedicated video about how ISO works in-camera is definitely a good idea and one that I will write down.
Great tips! Do you use you’re pixel stick a lot? I got one s while back and barely use it. Which is sad bc it’s so cool! Love all your videos and the quality is awesome!
I borrowed one and while it was super cool, I didn't think I would ever use it. I included it in the video just because of its many capabilities and creative options.
You'll have to take a separate exposure of the foreground untracked then blend the two in a program like Photoshop so that the final photo is sharp without a blurred foreground from the movement of the tracker.
I don't understand your question. Do you want to use a laser pointer to polar align the star tracker or in your self-portraits? Are you driving the idea that flashlights are too often used in astrophotography self-portraits? Let me know what you mean and maybe I can provide better advice or opinion. Thanks!
@@bushcraftandastronomer.3775 Even though it's been shot to death, I would still take a crack at Jupiter... or I would try and photograph the position where planet X should be.
forget about light painting and switch to Low Level Landscape Lighting -> www.lowlevellighting.org/ beside not disturbing others it will give you much better/realistic illuminated foregrounds...
Maybe it is, but portable is a relative term. Regardless, the iOptron Skytracker, Vixen Polarie, and Star Adventurer are all great options to get familiar with tracking. The only reasons why I mentioned those two trackers specifically is I have experience with them myself, and from someone who knew nothing about astrophotography, they were very easy to take around and set up. I will update the video description with a link to the Skytracker, though, so that people know there's a third option.

Dude, DUDE! Your videos are so well-structured, I'm so happy youtube offered me this. Really appreciate the effort.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy the content!
Finally a great Chanel dedicated to Astrophotography. Great presentation guys well done !!

I do. I'll update the descriptions of my videos with links to transcripts. Thanks for the idea!
Cannot wait for ETTR video! Thanks for creating awesome vid and keep up your hard work
Thank you for the tips! I had no idea about the light pollution filters
Best investment is this Chanel.

Bahtinov Masks are so helpful!
Really helpful 🤩🤩

Basic. Clear. Well done.
bro... very nice videos....can u share as to how u make these videos...its truly fascinating to watch...
Thank you for your dedication! You have helped me a lot!
I'm glad I could help.
great channel , am glad i found it, keeep up the great work :)
Hey if you see please make a video about camera ev system and iso relation .
Sure! I already address some of this in my videos about ISO and photography misconceptions but a dedicated video about how ISO works in-camera is definitely a good idea and one that I will write down.
Great tips! Do you use you’re pixel stick a lot? I got one s while back and barely use it. Which is sad bc it’s so cool!

Will a Bhatinov mask work for a 24mm lens?
$264 for a filter! Dayuummm
how does a star tracker work if there's something in the foreground?
You'll have to take a separate exposure of the foreground untracked then blend the two in a program like Photoshop so that the final photo is sharp without a blurred foreground from the movement of the tracker.
Amazing content
Thank you
Can use laser pointer? I think flash light to much popular for astrophotography

@@Apalapse yup ,
Only the best for astrophotography is the Hubble space telescope! One of its greatest shots is the pillars of creation! Who wouldn't use Hubble?
Lol, if only I could get time on the Hubble :D
@@Apalapse what would you photograph with the Hubble telescope if you got time on it?

More!!!!!! 😅👍🏻💣💣
Interesting that you haven't included lens warmers either the chemical hand warmers or powered units
Yes those are super good accessories. I plan on making another video with those included.
You forgot to add extra batteries! or using a battery grip for longer runs on long exposures!
forget about light painting and switch to Low Level Landscape Lighting -> www.lowlevellighting.org/ beside not disturbing others it will give you much better/realistic illuminated foregrounds...
This is great!
The Star Adventurer is better than the 2 in video together
Maybe for tracking accuracy, but it's not portable at all.
Apalapse it is..pretty portable
Maybe it is, but portable is a relative term. Regardless, the iOptron Skytracker, Vixen Polarie, and Star Adventurer are all great options to get familiar with tracking.

It's pronounced bo-kay
First
Earth rotation???? What ??
Nobody needs, this extra crap ! Beware of the salesman!
