Great to hear your perspective on all this, John - thanks for sharing. I think a lot of us crave the solitude - it’s weird, because we all love to share what we produce, but the experience of being out there alone under the stars is deeply significant personally, and so being alone just seems so much better than with others. Feel a bit bad saying that, as often I get people asking to come along, but I suspect you get what I mean!
You might find Startlink Roam a nice addition to the car. I work in the events industry and its been a revelation for a lot of us who disappear into the middle of nowhere each weekend.
Hey John, some great informative info there mate. I reckon it's great to hear a little bit about your journey and the motivation to shoot the night sky and landscape. Love your work buddy.
Yep that's the main reason I go out to shoot Milky way is to get away from people! Animals are the main concern when out , I was in a pine forest at 1am shooting Ghost mushrooms when I had someone's pet Dog sneak up on me and lick my hand and gave a good scare since it was pitch black at the time
Great Q&A John, and thank you as you answered 2 of my questions. Can I ask about the filter you now use, is the filter more effective in a full spectrum mod rather than a Ha mod camera?
Always nice to see those videos from time to time, just to bounce some information around. I hope to see some behind the scenes video some time in the future :D I noticed great lightning in the previous videos too.
G’day John firstly thanks for the inspirational content. I love the channel. I’m planning on attempting a milky way arch in a few days and using a 50mm F1.8 the Milkyway will be setting in the west so I was wondering about the order of shooting the rows and also timing. In order to capture the entire field of view with some allowance for cropping I plan on shooting 3x19 for the sky and 2x19 for the foreground. So 57 frames for the sky 3 min exposures approx 3.5 hours. It looks like the arch will be a nice big bow at about midnight. Therefore in order to lock in the milkyway and the horizon it would be best to shoot the horizon row at around that time. I think. So does that mean I should start shooting at 8:30pm at the top and finish at midnight with the horizon row or start shooting around midnight with the horizon row and finish at 3:30am with the top row? 🤯
Heck I’ll just try both ways and see what happens. I think I have the concept right I just have to trial and error the different methods for rising or setting milkyway. 😂
Thanks very much for your reply that helps a lot. As long as the cloud forecast is correct I should be able to bag my very first tracked Milky Way arch panorama. It’s going to be a cold one with forecast temps of 4-5 degrees. 🥶
John could you expand more on a couple of things...............can you so your GPS /sat comms stuff you use for comms to folks and can you please explain...as I struggle with this concept..You said after 3 or 4 dhots you re level the camera on the tracking head....does this mean the tracking mount is still runnng and you re level...can you show this what this actually means....thanks
ruclips.net/video/kC2D7wwUWWk/видео.html&feature=share9 that's the link to the video where I show actually re levelling the mount, I do it while it is still running yes. I can include comms in a future q and a for sure.
have never done astrophotography before and was thiinking about the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi i already have the canon r5 and is it good enough for this type of photography

I totally get what you mean. And I agree

I just had a look at that, cheers for the suggestion 👍 it's a tad pricey tho
Thanks John! I loved this video. Looking forward to the next one!
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Thanks John, just like RT, you're always coming up with great way to do astro.
Cheers John, I appreciate that mate 👍

Haha oh dear, that would of scared the s**t out of me!!

Thanks mate. With the filter in, the result would be the same with either Ha mod or full spectrum
@@johnrutterphotography many thanks for clearing this up
Still digging that hole with you mate!
Haha definitely
Always nice to see those videos from time to time, just to bounce some information around. I hope to see some behind the scenes video some time in the future :D I noticed great lightning in the previous videos too.
Thanks mate. What sort of behind the scenes would you like to see?

When in the western sky I would shoot the horizon row first to lock it in and shoot up from there

Nice 1, I'm learning more each time... good of you to show your first astro images too. looking forward to the next one 👍
