@@deltaastrophotography Brother you are great you explain everything properly seriously no one else can explain like you 👍 I have only one doubt you say take a 20 dark shot you mean totally black photos? but how do they help in stacking? I also take images with my Samsung galaxy s24 phone results were awesome 💯.😊 Please reply to my question 🙏
Hi Walt! I'm an astronomy and science guy, but not a computer guy. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge of computer enhancement milky way images in a friendly and patient manner. I enjoy teaching and sharing my love of astronomy to kids, friends, and family. I will use your tips of the trade. Keep up the great work my good man and God bless!
I love how you explain it all and show step-by-step. Very helpful and definitely Inspires me to get out there and take more photos of the Milky Way and star scapes
This video is completely what I’m searching for for ages, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us step by step. Clear skies to you, Cheers 🌙
Man, I'm just getting into this hobby and I'm so glad I found your channel. Your content is to the point and very informative. Also, I'm a fellow bald, bearded, guitar playing Mississippian myself, so it's nice to see a kindred spirit gaining a following online!
Great tutorials! Clear and concise instruction, not overcomplicating the whole procedure from capturing the shots through to processing. Very easy to follow for us newcomers starting a 'little' later in life. The hardest part is finding some really good clear, dark sky locations here in the UK! Thank you and keep up the good work.
This couldn't have come at a better time! I'm planning a trip to a darker sky area to get my first milky way shots. You can really see how much effort went into this! Thanks!!
Just found your videos. Great explanations. Beginner photographer down here in Biloxi, MS and have been wanting to shoot a Milky Way photo. This is so easy to understand.
I'm new to Astrophotography, I bought a Canon 2000D and i found this video very informative and i can now understand what all the settings and modes are now! The way to explained the camera settings and also editing was superb! Thank you, all i need is a tripod and remote and I'll be out the early hours of the morning searching for that milky way! Thank you Walt!
Thank you for showing and telling people exactly what you're doing when editing. It helps immensely! I've learned more about editing from watching 3-4 of your videos than from watching dozens of others that just zip through their editing process - if I knew that much about Photoshop and Lightroom I wouldn't be watching videos on how to do it. Duh! I'm sure a lot of your subscribers feel the same way. Just last night I used your Orion editing video to guide me through editing the North America Nebula that I shot 10 months ago, but could never get any traction for lack of know-how. And the handful of videos of yours I've watched this morning just make me want to take another crack at it to get it even better. I'm excited again about shooting because I have some confidence that I can make some meaningful edits. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm unsubscribing from everyone, except you, Alyn Wallace, Lonely Speck and the Photopills guy. In the parlance, a lot of the others just add noise.
Thanks man! I've had the same problem! People just fly through their tutorials! I was not a photographer or graphic designer before I got into astrophotography, and so photoshop made no sense to me! As I discover new tricks I just to to explain them to everyone else in a way I wished they were explained to me! I never realized my processing videos would end up being the most popular of all my stuff! But oh well! I'll be putting out another processing video Monday! It makes very happy that you are exited to shoot again! I wish you the best of luck and clear skies! And just have fun with it!
This is fantastic and I LOLd "It's soo brightt" hahaha I just went to my first Star Party with the Denver Astronomical Society and thought I watched enough videos to get my settings right, I guess I didn't and of course, I went out to no service to look anything up. I'll try again using your tips! Thank you!
Hello from cloudy windy England, I have never taken a picture of the milky-way, hopefully will get one in a few weeks, hope mine comes somewhere near to yours, keep up the good work 👍
Handshake: thanks, very helpful as a beginner. Your vibe is very smooth and easy to follow. I am in the process of getting a camera as I have wanted to do night and Astrophotography. May the weather always be CAVU.
Confirmed, the moon is still bright, Steve didn't lie. Have great news about light pollution the city i'm living in. Several days ago workers started to change street lights from old yellowish to modern colder lights that supposed to give light only in one direction - down. At least i can sleep now better. Need to try photograph The Milky Way this year for the first time somehow. Nice tutorial!
Ok 3 things..... 1. Love the Fender Reverb Deluxe!!! 2. The 2 Godzillas behind you are Shin Godzilla, and the 1954 Godzilla. 3. Your Milky Way Presentation was stellar! (Yuk Yuk). I took 30 second exposures of the core of the galaxy last year in Puerto Rico. I was wowed by what my canon t7i produced! Yet it was kinda blurry. But now that I have a mount tracker...the Star adventurer....this summer is gonna be different! Keep doing this!
I think I drunk too much whiskey while watching this video but I can't stop laughing. I was watching tutorials for the laowa 65mm (I am into macrophotography) but somehow I ended up here and ME Love it!!! FOLLOWING!!!
Nicely done and good work. just one question, i feel the final picture has more details than the edit you were doing. so just wanted to know if you did additional edits to the image after that. thanks...
Great video! I am headed to Joshua Tree and Death Valley hoping to get some Milky Way shots so the timing of finding this was perfect. Anyway, I was just hoping to understand a bit more as to why you 1. needed the dark images and why more than one, and 2. why you needed to do it later into the morning rather than right after at the same time. That would be helpful. Thanks again for the great explanation.
I would like to see your home recording studio. My eye caught a few nice vintage guitar amps. Behind the twin on the wall looked like material to reduce reflections in the room.
Спасибо огромное за ваши видео!!! Всё очень доступно! ) у нас сложнее найти информацию на этот счёт и много ложной информации... Недавно начал делать свои первые снимки звёздного неба... По поводу выдержки все говорят о правиле 600... Пользовался им и звезды размывает.... Опытным путем пришел к выдержке в 13 секунд и это точно совпадает с вашим правилом 250 ))
Your videos are amazing! Love the humour that you add as well. Question when you stack...since the stars move over the course of the night, is there a way to select which ground position you want? Is it relative to the first photo or the last photo you take? Thanks a million!
Very nicely explain all the aspects of Astrophotography. Just one thing I feel I don't get it. Is that a) Sequator app how you taken the galaxy photos sequences or just click after click. b) those black images at bottom. I'm glad if you make one more video on this process.
Hi Walt. Thanks for the video. I have yet to attempt my first astrophotograph but this video inspired me to maybe start with a Milky Way scape like this one. I’ve been logging a lot of hours watching AP videos and just found your channel a week ago. I enjoy your style and the level of detail you share. I have an EOS D80, a few kit lenses including the 18-55 and I need to upgrade my tripod. And I just need to learn my camera controls better. I’m in Michigan and we don’t get many clear nights but I hope to attempt my first session in the next few weeks.
Just got a Fuji XT3 with an 18 55, a travel tripod and a remote shutter, i am going to try some astrophotography based on your guide soon. Sadly i live in the industrial western area of germany - there is alot of light pollution..
Cool. I use sequator good video. With my canon 80 d and Samyang wide I like single figures for the speed. If I went to somewhere cold would I need lense warmer as I live in nth west Australia ( tropical)
Exceptional video! Good teaching with rich, on-point content ready to use. Quick question, please - there is conflicting information "out there" about the relationship of interval to exposure using both internal and external intervelometers. Is this a correct statement: "To ensure correct operation, choose an interval at least one second longer than the exposure time. " Another video says to add an interval "between" exposures, thus he said "set a 30 second exposure with a 2 second interval." Please advise. Thanks!~
Excellent video! Quick question, for the dark frames, do you need them to be the same settings as the light capture frames? Can I cut down the speed, to speed the process up?
Hi I have an Olympus OMD-EM5 body with a Panasonic Lumix 20mm f1 7 pancake lens. How long should I open the shuttle before I get the star trail? and which rule to apply? thanks.
Can i ask, when you take multiple photos for stacking are they all at the same settings or do you change settings (like the iso) for multiple exposures? Thanks!
I am ye to attempt next month..but I'm a little nervous about various things ....I have sony a 7 RV...can we use selftimer available in camera for multiple clicks...or do we need to buy any external device..?..thanks in advance
Recently discovered your channel and really like it! Perfect vid for beginners. Quick question: what Bortle rating was the sky you took these images in? I am guessing 3? Thank you!
This video is great and walt has the most perfectly round head I've seen. I'm envious.
Well thank you very much! 😂🤣

Using the amp to show noise makes it very easy to understand. I will have to use that for my Astrophotography classes. Thanks. ❤
Excellent tutorial!! Thank you for the amount of knowledge you giving us.
Thank you so much for this beginner's tutorial. I just got a used, basic SLR camera with an 18-55mm lens and can't wait to try shooting the milky way!
Loving your videos,easy to follow and fun too,I’m a newbie to this so needed a easy way in to the hobby thanks for creating great content 👍
This was enjoyable to watch and easy to understand. Thank you!!
This video is a great find! Thank you for showing us how you take your photos and I was able to learn how to take the Milky Way! You are awesome 😎
And stay spacey! 😎
Another great video, Walt!
This is the best tutorial I could possibly find which explains things so nicely for beginners like us. Thanks so much man
Best milkyway instructional video by far u have a natural talent for teaching
Love how simple it is to edit, I need to get my head around Ps and start giving it a go with the dodging and burning

excellent! a awesome simple and efetive tutorial!
Awesome. Getting serious sky envy!
Omg Walt these are stellar. So easy and quick for tutorials. Stacking seemed intimidating to me but you make it easy.
Amaziiiiing tutorial. Keep up the good work 🤩
Well done and thanks for all the wonderful tips,cheers
This guy is soo awesome !
Love it man! Can’t wait for the next one! I’m about to do my Milky Way shots this coming up weekend if the weather holds out for me.
Good luck! It's looking like I might get a shot myself on Thursday or Friday! Got my fingers crossed!
Thanks for this video! We are taking a trip down to Big Bend in October during the new moon and I plan on getting some amazing shots!

That is an excellent video. I would absolutely love a follow-up video on this. Processing always kicks my ass.
Thanks! I'll start work on the follow-up tomorrow!
Cheers from Greece man, i ll start soon the landscape astrophotography and you helped me a lot!!👏

Really enjoyed that and you presentation is clear concise and importantly fun. Subbed from Mal in UK
Excellent - Thank you!
great video thank you...i'll try your tips
Nicely done and good work. just one question, i feel the final picture has more details than the edit you were doing. so just wanted to know if you did additional edits to the image after that. thanks...
Holy Sh@tballs. Thats some final edit. Boom :)
Haha! Thanks!!
awsome video
Hey, I appreciate your efforts, I will be doing Astro photography with my dog, thank you bro.
There's nothing better than hanging out with your dog under the stars!

Oh wow thank you so much!
Great video walt. Please do a tutorial for mount tracker the sky adventure for deep sky astro.
Great video! Quick question. What image format did you shoot the videos in. I don't think you mentioned it in the video. Thanks!

I recommend a bahtinov filter to help with the manual focusing.
Steve - "It's so bright!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Would love to see a video with the Canon RF 100-500mm. Doesn’t look like anyone out there has a review on it for Astro.
Wow! I can't get close to those results!
Walt, what an awesome tutorial. What MAC based software would you recommend that is similar to Sequator. Thanks
Starry Landscape Stacker and Starry Sky Stacker!
Cool. I use sequator good video. With my canon 80 d and Samyang wide I like single figures for the speed. If I went to somewhere cold would I need lense warmer as I live in nth west Australia ( tropical)

Hi, thanks for the amazing video. Which is that music at the end ?
good good good 😉
Excellent video! Quick question, for the dark frames, do you need them to be the same settings as the light capture frames? Can I cut down the speed, to speed the process up?
They need to be the exact same speed. You want the sensor of your camera to be the same temperature as when you took your light frames.
@@deltaastrophotography Thanks!
Great job! I couldn't catch the name of the star stacker for Mac.
Hi I have an Olympus OMD-EM5 body with a Panasonic Lumix 20mm f1 7 pancake lens. How long should I open the shuttle before I get the star trail? and which rule to apply? thanks.
04:56 Camera settings yaaaaaay xDDDDDD Damn...very good video, thank you
I have an apsc dslr with a 18-55mm kit lens. Does the 18-55 relative to my apsc sensor or do i need to multiply it by 1.5 so 27-72mm ish?
Hey man, just picked up Stellarium, it makes it too easy.
Also can you post what music you use? I️ consistently like the ambient background music
I use a website called Artlist to get music for my videos!
Can i ask, when you take multiple photos for stacking are they all at the same settings or do you change settings (like the iso) for multiple exposures? Thanks!
Good question! They all have to be the exact same settings taken back to back!
Great edit. :)
Whats the tracks name in the end?
I am ye to attempt next month..but I'm a little nervous about various things ....I have sony a 7 RV...can we use selftimer available in camera for multiple clicks...or do we need to buy any external device..?..thanks in advance
