Thank you, Love the video production. I have never done Astro Photography and am not setup for it...But now I really want to try lol. Some great tips in there. Loved that first image.
Great, simple tutorial. Well done.
Very smooth production
Nice one, very well explained
Excellent and informative video.
Thanks Andrew!
Ich liebe das Panasonic Leica 9mm zusammen mit den Starry Sky AF von Olympus/OM System. 🤩
Thanks for that! I always wondered if the Starry Sky AF worked with Panasonic lenses :)
Yes it does work with Panasonic Leica lenses
Let me add that it works with my Panasonic f/2.8 35-100 and Panasonic f/3.5-5.6 14-150.
shame the donut van wasn't there! :)
Who presses the button on live composite after you left? maybe missing an instruction
I'm thinking of buying the 9mm f/1.7 for use on my Olympus EM5mkiii. This camera doesn't have auto star focusing in its menu. Do you know it is to manually focus with the ring rather than the software for astro. I've been quite pleased with my manual Laowa 7.5mm f/2 lens but looking for something better. I have found that using live composite for star trails often includes plane navigation lights which are difficult to remove. Taking a 100, 20 second frames then using the free StarStax software puts all the trails together and you can remove those annoying planes streaking across the sky on individual frames.
Thats cool. I've been using my s23 ultra but its time to get a camera. MFT is the way to go
I have the S23 Ultra, too, and want to use it for astrophotography.
I'd like to talk about your setup and how you're doing it.
Thanks for this, I have been looking for exactly this video for a while! Quick question, is there much of the notorious purple fringing with this Pana lens Oly body combo?
Hi there. There's a slight amount of purple fringing when shooting wide open, but this clears up quickly when you stop down. It can also be fixed relatively easily in post
@PeninsulaCamera the purple fringing, does this have something to do with shooting modes open and happens on all lenses when wide open regardless of the f-stop; is it related to low f-stop lenses; or is it a micro 4/3 thing? I've seen other videos and samples from Voigtländer f.95 and TTartisan f.095 and Meike f.95 all having the same purple fringe when shooting wide open at f.95
With live comp did you also use Starry AF? Or did you not need to? When you used a (Olympus?) body cap lens to do star trails, did you just leave it set to infinity and focus worked out? Thank you for this great video!
Thank you! With Live Comp, I did use Starry AF. However, this can be done on older cameras just by manually focusing, and punching in to check focus. When using the body cap lens, I set it to infinity and it worked out fine.
Wondering if you could do the same thing on an OM-1? Thanks!
Absolutely, the OM-1 is a great camera for this :)
I'm pretty new to photography and would like to try astrophotography. I'm wondering if my Panasonic lumix gx80 can do that too?
Technically, yes, you can. The menu interface might be a little different but overall it's doable.
The external factors are more important, such as where do we shoot, the amount of light pollution, and weather condition (cloudy or rainy).
At last, do not ever forget about your own safety.
@@Durio_zibethinus I'll give it a try. Thanks for the reply.
Recent Lumix cameras offers the same features (starry AF and Live composite mode) as recent Olympus/OMSystem cameras for info (but they don’t advertise them as much as Olympus)
I've tried the Starlight AF in Lumix S5 II and it almost never works, unfortunately.
can these photos be done on olympus omd em10 mark iv ?
Absolutely. All these features (excluding Stary AF) are available on the EM10 Mark IV
Is that purple blob part of the image or just from filming the back of the camera? Thanks.
Any chroma or distortion issues?
Very little chroma, and the distortion is mostly corrected through software.
@@PeninsulaCamera thanks for the info
for wide-angle astronomy. rectilinear lens causes distortion. only fisheye lens should be used.
With wide angle you want to include some foreground, fisheye will distort it much more visibly than a rectilinear
Nah, oly 8mm f1.8 is a better choice. No softness on specific apertures.
Except that it's fish-eye, which rules it out for me. I tried the PL 9 mm, but have come back to my standard astro lens, the PL 8-18 mm.
fisheye is a nono, trying to decide between 9mm or laowa 10mm
its not 9mm. it's 18mm.
ohh boy, shooting the milky way is NOT actually doing astrophotography, wide lens are just that milky way shooters, but thats not what astrophotography is about. a REAL astrophotography lens is the olympus 75 mm.
