    This is a lecture about Milky Way photography I recently did for some camera clubs in NJ geared towards beginners and intermediate night photographers. I decided to upload my slides and lecture for those that were unable to attend.

    good overall, but you should have mentioned that the crop factor needs to be taken into account when using the rule of 600/500/400 (I thought you were going to hit it when you mentioned full frame camera). A 50mm lens on a full frame becomes the equivalent field of view of a 75mm on a Nikon Crop, 80mm on a Canon crop or 100mm on a MFT. So 10 seconds on a Canon 5D becomes 5 seconds on a Panasonic G7.

      You mentioned Photopills, Mike. When you record your camera model, it automatically adjusts for crop factor.

      Could someone explain to me why a crop will enhance startrailing? It's the same lens and the same picture at the end of the cam why should sensorsize make a difference? There are two things that matter: pixelsize and focal length. Change my mind.

    I have been teaching photography at a major university for over 30 years and been a professional photographer for almost 50 years working for virtually every major magazine in the world, but I have never done any star photography. I happen to be teaching in Abu Dhabi this semester so I decided to give it a try. This tutorial is amazing!!!!! In my teaching career I have never given a lecture this complete, solid, or informative.

    • @Milkywaymike
      @Milkywaymike  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you very much for those kind words! I made this a few years ago so I definitely think I make improvements if I had to do it all over again, but I’m happy it has helped peak photographers interest to capture the stars. Hopefully you get a shot of the Milky Way this year! Cheers 🍻

    Stayed in Cyprus for a few months and in a place called Lania. Beautiful beautiful place and OMG the night sky and the Milky Way was incredible. The Milky Way went right over the house and it was though you could not see sky, only stars. Amazing absolutely amazing. I did not have a good camera then sadly for me.
