You are not only knowledgable but funny, I've seen a lot of videos about astrophotography and I can say that yours are very easy to follow, thanks man!
G'day from South Australia, I too use the Nifty fifty, but on my crop sensor Nikon D7200, I have a long way to go in my processing, but you have inspired me to push on, I will be going to a very dark location later in the year, if I can get half the clarity you have here I will be happy
Nice. I must have missed the part about the details of camera settings and how many shots the final image was. It'd be good if you also put that in the description.
Tried following this tutorial from start to finish. I am a little confused as the lizard keeps appearing even once I get out to shoot and ruins my exposures. Any advice please
One of the coolest videos about astrophotography i have seen. I have 50mm at this point and i am starting to learn what more i can do with it. New sub from Latvia!
Hey! I tried the same shot last weekend, I own a Sony A7II and Sony 50mm f1.8 but at 1.8 stars were way too purple... I had to close it a little bit. Amazing result!! It really encourages me to keep it up!
I just ordered the nifty fifty and my entry-level canon. I look forward to taking pictures of the sky and moon as well as the ocean. thank you for having inspired my interest in photography.
Very nice! I'm glad to see folks here on RUclips getting others excited about the wonders of the night sky. I enjoyed your photo and your video - very entertaining and to the point. I've been a planetarium director teaching astronomy for 20 years, and it does my heart good to see people like you dispelling the myth that expensive equipment is required to enjoy a relationship with the night sky. Good on you!
Well it absolutely makes my day that someone like you would even watch one of my videos! I live in a backwoods tiny house in Mississippi and I'm just trying to get the word out there! I get the privilege of seeing the Milky Way with my own eyes every single night this summer as long as the Moon isn't too bright. I just want more people to experience that wonder and awe! I'm also considering making a series of videos debunking a few flat Earth claims about astronomy. I feel like they can be easily disproven with just a simple camera and wide-angle lens.
I enjoy your videos! They give me hope and the will to not give up on my new hobby. I’ve been steadily improving over the past few months. But I know you understand the learning curve frustrations.
First thing I noticed when you zoomed in on tracked photo was m78 !! Love it. So I tried this myself about a week or so ago from a Bortle 8-9 zone and I couldn’t differentiate the light pollution from nebulousity unfortunately. After watching this though I might revisit my shots and see if they can’t be processed better. I’m not sure if I additionally had some funky flats or maybe the focus ring changed when I did my flats but I recall having some obnoxious rings in my processed photo
I enjoy your approach to astrophotography and the explainations that you present to the viewer. Easy decision to subscribe to the channel. Thanks bunches...HB
Wow nice image. I have the nifty fifty but never thought of using it that way. I tried taking a photo of my brother-in-law's barn one night and had some halos in the image from the light on the barn so didn't think it would be good for astrophotography. I will try it for sure now. I can mount it to my telescope or to my star adventurer.
You could always try a different exposure for the barn and the sky and blend them. That's how I have to do all my landscapes when using a star tracker!
just started this hobby with a rebel t7 and a 75-300mm lense and i’ve been taking some amazing photos surprisingly of orions nebula, my next target, rosette nebula
I love wide angle astro shots because it gives you a perspective of the place of the object in the night sky. A first step to build the connection with object. Then comes the deep sky astrophotography to give more details about your object. I'm planning to buy a used Canon EOS R --> get it astromodified --> use Rokinon 50 mm F/1.4 lens --> drive to Bortle 2 sky --> shoot with star tracker (60s +) of Orion Constellation around 100 light frames, 25 darks, and 25 flats --> Stack them with dss --> Run Adobe photoshop to do some stretching and curve adjustments and Starnet++ to get nebulosity details --> bring the stars back in photoshop --> do some final contrast enhancements in Adobe lightroom and call it a day 🙂. What do you think of the pipeline for Bernard's loop and other nebulosity around Orion? This camera will also be my permanent camera for Milky Way, Rho Ophiuchi and other big targets with some landscapes during the night.
A great tutorial and superb result. I’ve only recently bought this lens for this purpose and haven’t yet had the opportunity to use it on my Star Adventurer tracker. I have a Canon 600D/T3i with a crop sensor so will be interested to see if I can capture the entire constellation vertically, before Orion disappears. Thanks for sharing 👍 Edit: I got to use this a couple of nights ago. The sky appeared clear but there was obviously some very high cloud which added to the light pollution. Orion was starting to drift downwards into the SW sky which also didn’t help. The images I got all had a light brown tinge to them just like some of yours in similar conditions. But lessons learned - the lens is clearly a ‘light grabber’ even though I had to settle for an ISO of 200 with 60 second exposures at F4. It also proved that I could see all the constellation stars in ‘live view’ within the field of view. Just hope I can get another go at it before Orion finally disappears until next winter
Just keep saving! The star tracker is well worth it! You could also invest in some light pollution filters and still shoot from the city! As soon as I make a little extra money I'm going to start experimenting with that!
Thanks for the video. Just was researching telescopes and instead came across astrophotography. I already have a Canon 80D and recently got the 50mm lens for Christmas. So, seems like a good place to start to see if this would be an additional level of photography to pursue. Really useful video and definitely subscribed. Andrew
Thanks so much you have given me so much advice my latest shots are incredible! and I do not have a star tracker, Dark nebula are so possible with stacking.
Superb video! And that’s quite funny I just shot the Orion Nebula with the nifty fifty the last weekend (without star tracker though) and obviously my photo is way less good that yours (I stacked 800 photos). Your video clearly shows me I need a star tracker! Superb video again!
Yes definitely But I am going to try untracked if it is possible I now have 2.20 hrs of data from my home But due to light pollution I am struggling to deal with it 😅 But will try it soon from a dark area
Mississippi Delta kid here... trying to place your locale, I'm astro' photog'ing over in N Miss area but skip over towards Clarksdale some ... enjoyed the video, well done!
@@deltaastrophotography oh man, i just figured out we know each other - I own YaloBrew - crazy small world man! Mutual hobby, definitely need to catch up with you on this front!
Unfortunately I don't have any experience with mirrorles cameras yet. I still depend on the viewfinder of a regular DSLR to manually find deep sky objects. Not quite ready to for the digital viewfinder yet!
Thank you so much! I just got the nifty fifty a couple days ago and am waiting on the star tracker and tripod. I have a canon xsi and it can only get up to 1600 iso, do you recommend taking more pictures since the iso can only go that high?
Taking more pictures is always a good idea! But with a star tracker, ISO 800 is all you'll really need for a while! Two or three minute exposures really bring out so much detail. When you start shooting at focal lengths of 200mm or more, then I would worry about more ISO because your exposure times will get shorter.
Bought an 1100D few weeks back at a bargain price. And today got my nifty fifty which I was lucky to win a bid on at half its usual used pricing. Still learning and can't wait to try my gear out, without the star tracker at first 😅 Nice video and the final processed image looks epic. And oddly enough the shot with the clouds looks pretty nice too. Looks dreamy! But damn the dso's looks really nice.
Nice video and nice shots. There's a good alternative to the 500 rule for avoiding star trails when shooting on a static tripod. It's called the NPF rule. The formula asks for several variables including aperture. I've noticed over time that IF you use the 500 rule, and then divide that result by 2 or by 3 you'll avoid star trails completely. Recently I made some shots and got that brtownish sky color. It looks interesting at first, but gives me a challenge while editing after doing the stack. More recently when I see the brown on my live view screen I just decrease my shutter speed or my ISO until the brown is gone in my test shots. Keep up the good videos.
What's the best way to know about different things I see on my screen. Like, every astrophotographer knows about different nebulae, galaxies and such. How do I learn to spot what's what?
Getting to know the night sky can be pretty tough actually! Start with a website called telescopius.com it will tell you what's in the sky that night. From there use an app called stellarium to show you where that object is in the sky and when it will be up!
Nice work Delta, I like the video. What bortle sky scale you had there? I am thinking to get also a star tracker as a secondary mount to have more fun with wide field lenses while i am imaging with my other telescopes.
I live in a Bortle 3 area. It's nice to not have to use filters, but I'm dying to get an upgraded rig and try narrowband imaging! I thinks its a great idea to have a secondary mount to capture multiple things in a night!
@@deltaastrophotography i started with Eqm35-pro from skywatcher. Very good. Mount it did perform good even with a 6 inch telescope. You can see also the review on my channel. I tested last week with a small refractor with 20 min exposures at 360mm focal but also with autoguiding. Bortle 3 is good dark sky. I live at the moment in bortle 4 there is some light polution atvthe edge of the town but the milky way ia visible.

Hi! Love your videos. I am very new to the hobby and am looking for budget equipment to get me going. I have a Nikon D3100, what Nikon equivalent 50mm F1.8-ish lens would you recommend on a budget?
The only two I can really recommend are the iOptron Skyguider Pro and the Skywatcher Star Adventurer. There are more out there, but I don't know much about them. The iOptron is rechargeable with a USB cable and the Skywatcher uses AA batteries. I chose the iOptron because I do most of my shooting close to home and didn't want to bother always buying batteries.
Thank you for the video. It was very helpful. I have one question: can a Nikkor 50mm 1.8D lens give any good result? Thank you in advance for any response.
Any sensor mods or filters? That's a great image...I use the same lens on an unmodified 80d and don't get nearly that much color. Your skies must be really dark!
@@deltaastrophotography amazing. This has inspired me so much. I have a canon 5D mk 2, just ordered an intervalometer from Amazon. Hopefully I can get results as awesome as yours. Thank you Barry Stewart
Hi!! First of all Happy New Year!! Thank you for your tutorial videos. I followed along for the nifty 50 post processing of the Orion constellation. I wanted to ask you and share my outcome with you via email if you’d permit. Also, do you have any tutorial on post processing the Pleiades shot using the same nifty 50. Thank you.
So funny to hear you spelling Betelgeuse like Beetlejuice) I envy you for such a warm weather and clear sky. Here, where I live, Orion constellation is visible in winter and what is most annoying - it is on south-east, where lies huge city with all its illumination. But this is not that bad, because in winter (I would say starting from october and up to april) ur sky is mostly covered with clouds. And don't forget about frost which together with humidity makes all unbearable.
A newcomer will be asking many questions, one of them will be, what image format? RAW, CR2, jpeg-etc. some folks will have a Nikon, Sony, Pentax etc. ? Best image format to use. Pause after shutter up to allow for mirror slap vibrations to settle before next shot, electronic remote control can be a simple hand held and press for each shot, or buy a cheap Chinese intervalvometer for a fraction of the price for a genuine Canon etc. unit. I have several cheap ones and never failed. Newcomers need to get into astrophotography as low cost as possible to see if it is something they want to get into more seriously, but without spending too many dollars to start with. Newcomers find there is a whole new dictionary-terminology to learn/understand, so what experienced folks take for granted-is all new for someone starting out. Just watched a presentation by a fellow using a $10,000 mount, plus a telescope, cooled camera, filter wheel, guide scope, various filters and the rest, no change from $25,000 upwards. Hope these comments help in your future presentations, they are not meant to be critical in any way. I used to teach scientific photography among other medical subjects. Have been into building my own scopes, mounts, observatories over the past 60 years and into professional astronomical photography & photometry when I retired from a medical career. If interested, Google my name and Southern Cross Observatory-Tasmania 42 South. Keep up with your RUclips presentations-you will help many others. I am 83 and find it takes me a lot longer to get things done, I have many interests and really not enough time to get into making RUclips videos, my teaching days are behind me. Regards from ‘Down Under’ where we have so many wonderful celestial objects visible year round. 👍🇦🇺🔭🦘
Thanks for this amazing comment! I'll be checking you out for sure! And I'm going to try to be very open to newcomer questions. It's such a fun subject to talk about! I literally made this channel just so I could talk about it and share all the little tricks I'm learning in my journey.

Amazing image. Has your camera been astro modified?
Thank you
Barry
The camera in the video was not modified. Just a stock Canon 6D!
@@deltaastrophotography amazing. This has inspired me so much. I have a canon 5D mk 2, just ordered an intervalometer from Amazon. Hopefully I can get results as awesome as yours.
Thank you
Barry Stewart
Hi, awesome vid and detailed explanation, can I ask if your 6D is astro modded or stock?
It is stock!
Hi!! First of all Happy New Year!! Thank you for your tutorial videos. I followed along for the nifty 50 post processing of the Orion constellation. I wanted to ask you and share my outcome with you via email if you’d permit. Also, do you have any tutorial on post processing the Pleiades shot using the same nifty 50. Thank you.
Ideak haber puesto la pantalla de la camara con la configuracion de esta o una screen en el video para hacer pruebas.
When I increase the shutter space to 10 seconds, it gets too bright. How to fix that?
So funny to hear you spelling Betelgeuse like Beetlejuice) I envy you for such a warm weather and clear sky. Here, where I live, Orion constellation is visible in winter and what is most annoying - it is on south-east, where lies huge city with all its illumination. But this is not that bad, because in winter (I would say starting from october and up to april) ur sky is mostly covered with clouds. And don't forget about frost which together with humidity makes all unbearable.
A newcomer will be asking many questions, one of them will be, what image format? RAW, CR2, jpeg-etc. some folks will have a Nikon, Sony, Pentax etc. ? Best image format to use. Pause after shutter up to allow for mirror slap vibrations to settle before next shot, electronic remote control can be a simple hand held and press for each shot, or buy a cheap Chinese intervalvometer for a fraction of the price for a genuine Canon etc. unit. I have several cheap ones and never failed. Newcomers need to get into astrophotography as low cost as possible to see if it is something they want to get into more seriously, but without spending too many dollars to start with. Newcomers find there is a whole new dictionary-terminology to learn/understand, so what experienced folks take for granted-is all new for someone starting out. Just watched a presentation by a fellow using a $10,000 mount, plus a telescope, cooled camera, filter wheel, guide scope, various filters and the rest, no change from $25,000 upwards. Hope these comments help in your future presentations, they are not meant to be critical in any way. I used to teach scientific photography among other medical subjects. Have been into building my own scopes, mounts, observatories over the past 60 years and into professional astronomical photography & photometry when I retired from a medical career. If interested, Google my name and Southern Cross Observatory-Tasmania 42 South. Keep up with your RUclips presentations-you will help many others. I am 83 and find it takes me a lot longer to get things done, I have many interests and really not enough time to get into making RUclips videos, my teaching days are behind me. Regards from ‘Down Under’ where we have so many wonderful celestial objects visible year round. 👍🇦🇺🔭🦘
Thanks for this amazing comment! I'll be checking you out for sure! And I'm going to try to be very open to newcomer questions. It's such a fun subject to talk about! I literally made this channel just so I could talk about it and share all the little tricks I'm learning in my journey.
