How to Milky Way DSLR Time Lapse
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- YOU can create a Time Lapse Milky Way Video with a DSLR! All you need is a DSLR, Tripod, and Intervalometer. I show you all of my equipment and how to setup for a successful Milky Way Time Lapse. After the Equipment review, I show you my results. If you would like to see how I processed the final video, leave a comment below. If there's enough interest, I'll make a second video showing the processing steps. Thanks for watching and commenting. Give a thumbs up too! Doug

It's good to know you are still alive.
Hanging around the best I can! = )
@@Myastroimages Will you ever come back to youtube ?
Hi doug
I love ur videos
Please upload the methods you used to process the images
Clear skies,
Thank you Semuth!
I found the DSLR Control Anroid App very much like the intervalometer, and very easy to use.
Hi Fernando,
How do you connect an app on your phone to a DSLR? Interesting Idea. I'm sure an Android App could do the same thing, I just don't know how it would connect to the phone?
Doug
Come back please, I need more of these videos.
I'm making more videos now. Hope to see you there!
Doug
glad to see you are back again. would love to see how too process image
Thank you Eric! I don't know if I'm going to push two videos every month. But, I do want to make more videos when I can. You'd be surprised how much time it takes to make a video...it's a lot of work. I'll definitely do a follow up video to show the processing.
Doug
Good to see you back! Your videos helped a ton as I got I to this over the last few years!
Thank you Jowaldo! I'm trying to make videos when I can now. So many other things in life I've been doing...Including painting my house! I found a lot of my household chores needed attention and making videos takes a lot of time. I'm glad the videos are helping you. Thanks for watching!
Doug
Doug, Thank you for all of your insights. I too would appreciate seeing how you processed these images! Thanks again
Hi B,
Thank you, I will plan on making a processing video. Now, I just need to remember how I did this!?!! = )
Doug
Great video. I use a Samyang version of the Rokinon. It's a great lens but the infinity position is a long way from the symbol - it's not just a case of backing it off a little, the focus ring says 3 ft when it is actually at infinity! Apparently it's a common "feature" of these lenses, and it's another item on my list of "astro setup things i have forgotten".
Hi Jenham!
Apparently these lens have different settings. Mine comes in good just a little of the infinity symbol. I'm glad you figured that out...3ft = infinity! I've never tried that, but, I should. Thanks for watching and commenting your experiences!
Doug
Hi Doug. Enjoyed the video. I would very interested in seeing how you did the processing. Thanks!
yup... I would like to know about your post work
Hi Eric,
Thanks for your feedback. I think I will make a processing video very soon.
Doug
Great job Doug. Good to see you back. Do the processing video. I use Lightroom and a program called LrTimelapse that work in conjunction together.
Thank you Sean! I'll try to get another video out soon.
Doug
A return to the great!
Hi Mimmo! All the best!
Doug
Thanks Doug for the video. I would like to see how you process and produce the end time lapse. Also, check your battery grip, mine has a storage place to keep the battery door that you removed.
Hi Brian,
Great idea, I never knew there was a storage place for the battery door cover! Thank you!
Doug
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Looking good Doug! I hope all is well.
Thanks Rick, all is well.
Doug
Hi Doug. Glad to see you're back. I enjoyed the video - and I think sometimes that f-stop ring just moves by itself, lol! I'd love to see how you processed the image/images they look great, especially since you started with such a dark image. Thanks!
Hi James!
Yeah, that F-Stop ring! LOL! I was going out to make a video so you'd think I would have known better to get it right! I will plan on making a processing video soon. Thanks for watching!
Doug
Good video Doug. I would be interested in the processing video.
Hi Sammy!
Thanks for watching and giving me your feedback. I'll work on a processing video too.
Doug
I've been using Eneloop rechargable batteries for my regular AA batteries (white). They last for such a long time. They even have a pro version now (black). Awesome end time lapse too :D
Hi Chelsea!
Good recommendation on the Eneloop batteries. I actually saw an article review on the top 10 batteries and Eneloop is #1
Doug
Great Vid!! Very timely for me because I just bought a T1i body with an 8800 shutter count from Goodwill for $25!!
I had an EOS lens laying on the shelf and was able to take some pics right away. I ordered my intervalometer from Eblay but they let me down so I'm trying again today. Thanks for the tips!!
Hi Cuda!
Great score on the $25 DSLR! My T2i is only one step newer than yours. I'll bet you'll get a lot of mileage out of that T1i. The intervalometer will help. Please post your results!
Doug
Now the second intervalometer supplier is giving me a hard time too. I never have these problems with my Sony stuff. I tried to download Magic Lantern but it only works on firmware version 1.1.1 and of course, I have version 1.1.2.
Canon is a new deal for me but I'll keep at it and let you know.
Thanks again for the Vid!!
yeah now you upload this I just got my milkyways with mars to the se over a pond last month ,just happened to be there at the right time. 6400iso at 20 sec exp and f2.8 is what I used now i gota learn to stack and process em ,but it was my 1st really good milkyway shots
Hi Tony,
That's one of my goals is to do a "reflection" time lapse. With your pond I'll bet that turned out really good. Did you process it? Post a link.
Thanks for watching!
Doug
Omg Doug I love your videos!!!!!! It’s amazing...and if there was a way to like this 1,000 times I would as you are the best....thank you for the kind words on my channel it means the world to me
Hi Elliot!
You're too kind! Thank you! Your channel is a great resource to the community. Thanks for watching!
DOug
Hey Doug. Great Time lapse of the milky way. I've always wanted to try this and thanks for the tutorial. I think next summer I'm going to try this! Is it still possible to do this in bortle 6 skies? Thanks for sharing!!!
Hi Bushcraft,
Bortle 6. . . is that like a sky outside of the city? I think you'll be OK if you're out of the city or out of suburban skies. Never let anyone tell you can't do it! I'm always surprised how clever everybody is with their environment. Give it a try I'm sure you'll be happy you did.
Doug
@@Myastroimages I live in a small village smaller than town but light pollution is bad Bortle 6 which I hate. Durening this spring summer lockdown due to covid-19 I save up and I bought the skywatcher star adventurer pro pack and the skywatcher 72ed ds pro refractor and the skywatcher evoguide 50ed guidescope for auto guiding and I know the 50ed guidescope can be used for deep sky imaging too. You see I want this portable setup that can go into a backpack and I love camping so I now I can do all my astrophotography in the highlands of Scotland as many places are dark locations like Magnifficent Glencoe and out side Fort William or even isle of Skye as uig I hear is very dark location. I know a great little spot out side Aviemore. In February I bought the Pixel 4 smartphone because of its amazing astrophotography mode but sadly I've not tested it in dark skies in the highlands due to this pandemic. I love doing smartphone astrophotography! Hopefully next year will be better and being Scottish I can travel to the Highlands any time. Next summer hopefully I want to photograph the very famous M16 eagle nebula with my setup and see if I can get any of the famous Hubble space telescope Pillars of creation. It may be very small but maybe it won't show up. Will it show up? Stay safe please!
@@bushcraftandastronomer.3775 Sounds like you have a good plan. I have a pixel 4 too. I've done some AP experiments with it . . . The one thing to get the AP mode on the Pixel 4 is it must be on a tripod. You can't hold it by hand as you probably know already. The one thing I couldn't find on the Pixel 4 AP mode are any settings you can adjust. So it takes an exposure at what it think is best. I kind of wish there was more manual controls where you could override the smartphone. It does a good job and it may do very well on a telescope. That's something I haven't tried yet. It would be amazing to see the Pixel 4 results on a telescope. If you get any results with your P4, I'd love to see them!
Will the Doug return in the future? I miss the videos.
Hi Rick,
I know I've been off the wagon for awhile now. I still get out there and I'm actively trying to take AP photos. I appreciate the encouragement to start again. It would be good to do a video every once in a while.
Thanks Rick!
Doug
Definitely need a video showing the image processing
Thanks for watching and the feedback. I will make a processing video soon.
Doug
Nice video Doug. I'd also like to see the video. I currently use a downloaded time lapse preset in lightroom to make my time lapses, but I'm sure there's another way and I'm curious to see how you did it.
Thanks Yanni! I will plan on making a processing video soon. Thanks for watching!
Doug
Great tutorial Doug. Thanks
Thanks Ray! I subd your channel! I like watching AP videos.
Doug
If you processed from the RAW files you can set the white balance the same on all the images. The WB in the RAW file is just a tag it doesn’t change the data, just tells the RAW processor what to use. Set the WB to daylight or your custom choice in the editing SW. Also I think your intervalometer might have been set to fire the shutter every second. It doesn’t wait for the camera to finish the previous capture. It just seemed like it was waiting as the camera shutter doesn’t trigger if it’s already making an exposure. Nice result! The 14mm seems a good lens for this.
Thanks Paul for the feedback! I didn't know you do WB post process too. It makes sense. Are you talking about post processing WB in Camera Raw?
Doug
Astrophotography Tutorials yes you can make the change in camera raw or in Lightroom or which ever app you use for RAW processing. This is one of the “get out of jail free” features of RAW shooting. For Astro it’s a very useful feature.
Thanks Paul!
Doug
I found that setting...There were some presets and I kind of like the "Fluorescent" setting. Of course you can use a custom setting too for WB. I appreciate the tip Paul!
Doug
Astrophotography Tutorials your more than welcome. I am learning so much from your great content it’s nice to be able to pass something back.
I'd love to see your process steps.
Hi Steve,
Thank you for the feedback. It seems many people would like to see the processing steps. I will be making another video soon.
Doug
Hi Doug, are you still doing AP? Miss your videos 😣
Hi Anthony,
Thanks for being a fan! I've been taking a break from AP videos. It's surprising how much time it takes to do two videos every month! I've been doing other projects and I still do my AP every month (weather permitting). I'm out of AP videos? No, not even close! There is always something new to learn! As with everyone else, I have other interests, and hobbies I do. Not sure if people would be interested my recent projects. . . Building a rainwater recovery system or my latest Automatic fish feeder for a pond using a raspberry pi. What do you think? Should I just stick to AP and do videos of AP when I can here on this channel? Or do you think other people would be interested in my other boring projects?
Thanks again!
Doug
@@Myastroimages I think you have a great personality and you should do what YOU enjoy most and share it with us if you get something out of it for yourself. Glad your ok and still doing AP! Lots of love to you brother.
@@antandshell Thank you Anthony!
about a year or so ago I think your had a video on how to make a battery box, but I can't find it. did you not make one or can't I just find it. really would like to make one now ,but can't find info. did find some videos but didn't seem to fit astro / telescope stuff.
Wow! Good memory Eric! That was actually a web page on my site. That page has been removed. Let me see if I can get that page up and going again. I'm sure there are more out there. I think the one thing I've modified since building my original battery box is to remove the CIG adapters and connect directly using Anderson PowerPoles...ruclips.net/video/hmTf-q-ZYQo/видео.html This is much better for devices that don't need a cig adapter. I do have a cig adapter for my laptop. It's better to convert DC to DC for the laptop than going from DC to AC back to DC. I got the battery box at Walmart, installed some fuses and that's about it. I'm sure you can make one. They are very easy.
Doug
I was not crazy ,it was you. would use the power poles. sure other people would love the info, making one is cheaper and probably better build. thanks a lot. hope to see your soon.
I spelled (you) wrong .
What ever happened to Doug Hubble 😂
I'm here! So many Astro Channels out there now. I've been thinking about making a come back, but, pandemic has me sitting the side lines. I've been looking at the Astroberry recently. I haven't really used it, but, it's something I'd like to try. Do you think people would be interested in the Astroberry?
@@Myastroimages hi Doug. I’ve not used astroberry. I’m stil an eqmod and ascom guy. I’ve seen a few videos on astroberry but they all seem muddled with no clear aim or idea. So give it a go and let’s see what you can make of it. Good to know you are well and still around
@@teslar1 Thanks for the feedback!
