Tnx man, it`s great time saver! Amaizing result! You are awesome!

[@MrGuitar50]

Great stuff!

[@gm010379]

THANKYOU...

[@Jbulwer]

This was such a big help. Looking forward to trying it out tonight.

Your videos are really helpful and so easily explained.
I was not sure to buy a startracker but with your videos I think I'm going to!

[@skykingimagery899]

Clever blend. Easier than a gradient blend. Now how would you do this in a Star Tracker timelapse? Multiple multiple images?

[@mrjeje]

Great tuto ! Thanks 👏👍😁

[@kamilkp]

You’re welcome! Thanks for the comment 😊

I would prefer this method to the one with luminosity mask in another of your video..
For example , some part of really thin tree branches on the horizontal line where you can not make it really black mask in those tree braches , you will see "Gray" in stead of "black" then that will create problem of masking coz they are like in the transition part.
Anyway, Thanks for this useful tutorial.

Loving your videos! Thank you so much!
I just recently bought my Star Adventurer 2 and your videos are super helpful! Have you done a video on what all the different settings are for on the SA2? The instructions it came with aren't the most helpful in the world when it comes to what all the different wheel settings are designed for.
Thanks again and clear skies!

[@kamilkp]

Thanks! Actually I didn’t so that yet but as I mentioned in my other video I’m not intending on getting the SA2 unless my SA breaks down or something. Or... maybe Sky-Watcher could lend me one for a deeper review - I should write to them 😉

[@ChaoticOrcPaladin]

@@kamilkp you should definitely write them! Lol. I think the wheel settings are the same on both from what I can tell. There are a ton of vids right now about setting up the tracker (yours being better than most!) but none discuss the moon or sun or numbered selections.
Thanks for the reply and the great videos!

[@ChaoticOrcPaladin]

Just rewatched this to edit another Milky Way shot from last night. Thanks again!

[@astrodad-simonb277]

Great video and Iv been wanting to learn this :-) - I have 30 stacked MW shots and I need to blend these, the video was of one tracked shot, so do you stack all the 30 first then blend the one not tracked - is this correct! Thanks! Simon

[@xiaofengliu5724]

what about if I have to use different exposures for the sky and ground? Can I still use this method? Thank you!

[@kamilkp]

Sure

Great little tutorial and I enjoyed it very much. Nice and simple but effective! I live in bortle 6 skies and it's a pain but with right software you can improve image. I hope this winter or even in November I can do a camp in the highlands and get to use the star tracker in dark skies. There is a nice area near Aviemore I know it's dark sky and I think it's Bortle 3 skies. Pixel 4 smartphone really needs to be in dark sky location. Have you ever been in bortle 1 skies before? I have and it's amazing dark. I hope you do more videos on the star adventurer and how to make a time lapse videos with star tracker of milky way and or even winter constellations of Orion and the others. Thanks for this tutorial!!!

[@kamilkp]

Winter constellations are gonna come to the channel for sure! I can’t wait to shoot Orion! Thanks for the comment 😊

[@paolasmith2052]

Have you done panoramas with a tracker?! If so, a video tutorial would be so nice! 😊😊 thanks!

[@kamilkp]

Good idea - I’ll put it on the list!

[@paolasmith2052]

Thank you😊😊

[@kamilkp]

Hey Paola, did you see my recent community post here on RUclips? You inspired me to do a panorama like this with the tracker and it turned out pretty awesome! Link to the post: ruclips.net/user/postUgx41XreOPXazQ5uSkN4AaABCQ

[@paolasmith2052]

@@kamilkp hi there!! Yes, I just saw it and I can't wait to see the video. Thank you very much! Ill be waiting for the vid :) love the shot!!

[@kamilkp]

Hey Paola, here is that video about Milky Way panoramas with a tracker: ruclips.net/video/PtZnz-9v6po/видео.html enjoy 😉

Nie mam problemu z ang. Ale Kolego dawaj tez cos po Polsku! Szacun za filmik

[@kamilkp]

Myślę że większość moich widzów niewiele by zrozumiała jakbym dał coś po polsku 😅

[@majfhhrvhjf5206]

@@kamilkp widze twoje filmiki na fb jak udostęniają i zazwyczaj jest komentarz " szkoda ze nie w polskim jezyku"

[@kamilkp]

Hmm nie widziałem takich udostępnień. Gdzieś na grupach prywatnych czy gdzie? Mogę przemyśleć temat napisów polskich bo swego czasu je robiłem ale potem zaprzestałem bo to strasznie dużo mozolnej roboty - ale może jedna warto 🤔

[@dugy40]

I was hoping you had at least 100 photos to blend. I don’t know what to do.
