Great video. I am an astrophotography novice, but was very pleased with my first astro panorama taken with my inexpensive 14mm 2.8 and full frame camera mounted on a travel tripod whilst on holiday. I wasn't expecting it to work, but it stitched without a problem in Lightroom. My first selfie wasn't too bad either. Without Photopils I would have been in the dark 🤪. And at last someone who mentions the importance of monitor calibration! I can see how people get into this genre.
Just discovered your channel after recognising the Pinnacles. Gorgeous images! I’m new to Astro and just bought a MSM Nomad. This video has so many helpful tips - thank you!
Thanks for sharing these tips and tricks Michael. I was fortunate enough to have won a Skywatcher Star Adventurer 2i from the last time this competition was run. While there is a bit of a learning curve to using trackers, there is little doubt in my mind if you persist they will help raise the quality of your images to the next level.
thanks - hoping to be more regular. I've already scheduled the next one and shot the one after. I actually have a list of topics that goes on for more than a year based on 1 per week.
Great work there Michael, do really enjoy your images as well as Richard Tatty. I did purchase a used star adventurer and will take it down to the South Island in July. I love your comment, getting a bit cooler ! been bloody freezing over here in NZ windy and wet then clear but cool. Cheers
speaking of which - I've been meaning to do stacked panoramas :P - I've done a little bit, but I have a particular visualisation that will take a long time. I think I've got the gear to automate most of it now.
thought it was important to say it's from my point of view - there are so many people saying THIS is how it must be done - and if I'd listened to all those people, I wouldn't be where I am ;)

haha I had mine for about 6 months before working it out
Great video, welcome back, here's to seeing more.

Excellent video, Michael! Good to see you back.
thanks muchly - hoping to be more regular
Just found you and appreciated this video. Your work is beautiful. Would love to do a selfie using the light you hold. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for the excellent video. Keep up the good work!
Great video, thank you Michael!
Thanks Michael. Appreciate the information. Do you run courses ?

yeah cold sometimes makes you think - why am I out here :P but as long as we take precautions and don't die of hypothermia
Great Video Michael, I've done a few single or stacked shots before but you have inspired me to have a go at some astro panorama shots.

Love your videos…would love to see one on taking panoramas of the night sky.
I think I've done one before but that was many years ago - will add it to the rather large list of things to do :P
Have you tried Planit Pro? I think you would like it for planning.
Yes! Find it so much easier and efficient that PhotoPills. Doesn’t require you to be onsite to plan with AR capabilities
Is there any mobile phone app that can stitch panorama?
Great video Michael, practical honest advice which we all appreciate.
