@@AmateurPhotographer12 I tried it last night but those Milky way Halo's are not very well lit... I mean they are visible but not like yours or like those taken with f2.8 or better lenses. Can I send you one of my raw pictures? Is that possible? I just want you to see if they are any good since I'm on a trip and I don't have access to my pc and Lightroom.
What you als ocould have done is 2 radial filters, along the center of the MW. & intersect both of them with luminocity selection for shadows & another for the highlights. Put a smlal amount of negative dehaze & you would really emphasise the "dish" shape of the MW
That was beautiful! I’m going to be living in the Georgia caucus mountains for a month soon and I’m going to try and capture some beautiful Milky Way shots. It would be silly not to try due to the zero light pollution in the area. I look forward to playing around in Lightroom when I get back. Amazing video and thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge. Greetings from Liverpool, England
Thanks for the tutorial, you are fun to listen to. I love capturing milky way, although I'm still so amateur. I don't even have a camera, i use my android phone to capture it. Obviously not as good as professional with proper camera but it still pleasant to look at, enough to make me happy.
Always RAW... Sometimes in a very high ISO case (+6400) I shoot RAW and JPEG to compare the camera's noise reduction to my edits. I use the Nikon Z8 and have found its noise reduction is really good. I liked your Milky Way edits, I'm finding mine have a green cast that I need to mask out. I shoot the MW at 5000 Kelvin knowing I can change the RAW files in edit. I don't recall the green cast when I was using an older camera body. (Nikon D850) Editing the RAW lets me make a better color scheme. Good luck with your channel, it is difficult to keep up the work over time!
Hi Nate Thankyou for all the advice on Astro editing.Can you please tell me with Long exposures how to prevent hot pixels on my image also how to eliminate them?Thankyou for any advice.John
Good workflow, however, the lens profile corrections really should to be done at the very beginning, so you know what you're working with. The reason you had to restore the vignette is because of the edits you had made up to that point.
Do you shoot in RAW?
Yes
Yes I do... But I'm in pain with my kit lens 😢
@@samanmahdiabadi why you can literally do it with kit lens lol

Another awesome video, and compendium to your last one. This was fantastic and very helpful, thanks!

I've been to the Caucasus of Georgia, it's a truly gorgeous place! Enjoy your stay!

Great refresher for me! Thanks!
Great video!
I wonder if increasing the exposure before you create your sky mask would help automate the mask selection.
You shot this up around Crystal Mtn yeah? I just sat down for a watch and edit along and went WOAH haha!
You kept the stars .Bravo. 5 stars to you. The carpet of stars is what makes the night sky so special. But... some togs want to remove them
To perfectly mask the skybox do as follows: Select sky, subtract sky again and than invert mask

Do you prefer photoshop in lieu of Lightroom or do use both
Great tutorial, most of the Milky Way tutorials are five or six years old does not include the new masks
I would suggest trying StarXtractor and removing the stars while you work on MW cloud then putting them back in!!

Awesome video! Is this photo a single shot? Or did you stack quite a few photos to achieve this?
This video is literally showing you how I edit a single exposure.
