Thank you Alan! Sometimes the Aurora disturb, but this night there were no aurora. And when it's strong enough to be disturbing, it's a spectacle in it self to enjoy! 😀
Thank you! Yes it's very beautiful and I think it adds a dimension to the videos to show the landscape I'm doing astrophotography in. For me astrophoto is a lot to get out in the nature. I often get a special feeling when I'm out alone. Somekind of connection to the past when I experience a dark sky in the same way as our ancestors did. Not heavy affected by light pollution.
Thank you Mark! Now the season is here for real, so I hope there will be many astro expeditions this season! I also have some plans for a tour to Norway. Lets hope covid does not spoil it.
New season of shooting, awesome! Glad you're back. There's astrophotographers that don't even leave the couch, and then there's you. Motivation personified.
Simply amazing 😍. This is quite another part of Sweden from where I live. Luckily I've got you to bring it home for me. Love your choice of music as a companion to your stunning pictures. Keep up the good work. (COOP julskinka 😂...not even December yet) K
Wow what an incredible video. One of the best and most interesting Astro vids I’ve seen since I’ve been doing this hobbie. -15. Jees I struggle with -2 here in the UK.
Besides the AstroPhotos I love your Drone landscape shots Dave …:you are also a good Director of your videos …it makes me feel like I’m there with you but in the comfort of my home… can you maybe setup an All Sky Camera one night so we can see the Viking Skies …
Thank you! Yes I think it adds a dimension to show the landscape I'm doing this hobby in and wants to invite all of you on a journey into the dark skies of the arctic! I will think of setup an All Sky Camera, would be interesting! I have also ordered a Sky Quality meter so soon I will be able to measure the sky too!
It’s great to have you back David, doing what we love to see! Astrophotography in the cold and dark! You are hardcore! Great video and fantastic final image, good choice of chilled out music also👍
Thank you Simon! Yes it feels as the season is here now! I have to encourage myself to get out on these small adventure as often as I can! I want the music to resemblance my self and the feeling that I want. Happy that you like it! 😀
I love how you edit your videos. They have a film quality with the awesome wide shots and the music, congratulations. Watching the landscapes and extreme conditions from here in the subtropic is an experience in itself!
You sir deserve to be one of the top astrophotographers on youtube, I like how you do not only care about little imaging details but also the quality of the final video 🎩
Thank you! I try my best, to take you all out to an astro photography adventure! The filming has also been a part of what I do, not at least it gives me something to do when the AP-gear does its job! 😀
Thanks Paul, yes, isnt't it quite beautiful!? But unfortunatelys it's so easy to gets home blind. I think it's more beautiful when I look at my own drone shots than when I'm there.. 😀
Something about seeing how much larger (and more complicated with collimation) your new telescope is, makes it even more epic that you get out there to shoot. "Don't be lazy" is obviously still the moto. :-)
Thanks Michael! It's a little bit more of all to handle, but it's a great scope (besides the focuser)! It's very fun to take a step further and learn how to master a little more focal length (and collimation and such. I think I will order t-shirts with the text "don't be lazy", you should have one for free! 😅 Found your insta btw, great images! 👍
😅 yeah I think it was actually true also. Probablu I was one of the first (THE first) astro photographer that put up the gear at that spot east of Mårdsel!
Why not use the 2600MC? It's more sensitive than the 1600 and you don't have to fiddle with filters. Being in Canada, I share the feelings of a -20°C night 😉
I'm about to convert to mono for several reasons. First and foremost, it's fun to take a step further. I want to have control over as many steps as possible and so far it has not been any fiddling, the process is very easy. Processing is also more fun I think (especially with narrowband) With a mono I can also shoot narrowband and expand opportunities to shoot hydrogen-alpha during moonlight. I think I will sell the 2600MC and probably upgrade the 1600MM to a 2600MM when its possible to get my hands on one! Yeah -20° is cosy!! 😀
@@NorthernPanorama Funny. I shot with a 1600MM for 4 years. I bought a 2600MC and an L extreme filter. When you separate the Ha and OIII you get from the l extreme you get a lot better image and more details than with the 1600. I shoot only SII with the 1600 now. Getting 2 filters in one night with the L extreme is a huge advantage when the weather is cloudy most of the time. I might consider a 2600MM when all I have left are the very faint objects.
@@tempusfugit6820 For me, learning new methods is a one of the main reasons I'm doing this. I'm still a beginner, this was my first LRGB mono session and I have done one narrow band session. There are probably a ton of things to learn, but for me to learn how to handle the mono cam and learn how to process the files, learn how to shoot out in the field in -30°C and everything around this hobby is a great part of why I'm doing this. The end result is only a consequence of ones experience gained over time and for now it's a lot more fun to shoot mono than osc and during the process I will discover pros and cons and gain experience.
Stunning image David and thank you for sharing the journey! Snow has finally fallen here at home in Manitoba (30 cm) and I have shoveled off my viewing area near my house. Waiting for clear skies to come again to my Bortle 2 backyard. Your images are so clear. What do you use to process the images?
Thank you! It's nice with snow, the landscape get so beautiful! Not a lot here now yet though. I use Astro Pixel Processor for stacking and processing. In photoshop I adjust the colors and curves. I want to highlite the blue a little bit and bring up the contrast between dark and light areas in the galaxy. It's not a lot of processing actually and I do the most in APP. Earlier I mainly used StarTools - it has its advantages, but I experience that I get cleaner results from APP. It's also very convenient do both stacking and processing in the same software.
Morsomt å se deg ute i kulden igjen! 😄👌🏻 Og et flott resultat, igjen! Jeg la merke til at du ikke har 'spikes' på stjernene dine. Får du ikke det med en reflektor, eller har du prosessert de vekk?
Takk så mye! Morsomt att vara ute igen! :) Det blir inga spikes på den här tuben, det är en Maksutov-Newton så den har en frontlins i glas som sekundärspegeln sitter fast i! :)
Hello, beatiful places and photo. This is the real astrophotography for me.
Grazie Mille Fiorenzo! Sono d'accordo con te! For me it's something special to get out, find a dark spot and spend som time alone with the stars! :)
Wow! Just wow! Beautiful. RESPECT
Thank you so much! 👍
Absolut fantastiskt🙏😍
Tack så mycket Andreas! 😀
Excellent! I always enjoy your video adventures. Shooting north must be a challenge, avoiding glows from aurora. Clear skies!
Thank you Alan! Sometimes the Aurora disturb, but this night there were no aurora. And when it's strong enough to be disturbing, it's a spectacle in it self to enjoy! 😀
Greetings from Buffalo, New York. Just started watching your channel. Enjoying it very much. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Thank you! And welcome to my channel! I feel happy that you like what I do!
Keep up the good work ✌️😎
Thanks Alan, I will! There will be many astro adventures this season!
Great!
Thank you!!
Sublime 👍👍
Thank you so much!
What a beautiful location....nothing like being out in nature!

I love your videos.
Thank you, that is so nice to hear! Thank you for watching!
Waited all summer and half of autumn to sit back and enjoy your unique presentation and narration. Worth the wait.
Thank you Mark! Now the season is here for real, so I hope there will be many astro expeditions this season! I also have some plans for a tour to Norway. Lets hope covid does not spoil it.
New season of shooting, awesome! Glad you're back. There's astrophotographers that don't even leave the couch, and then there's you. Motivation personified.
Thank you for your kind words! Feel humbled and promise there will be a lot of arctic astrophotography adventures this season! 😀
Flawless. Everytime I watch your presentation and final image, flawless
Thank you so much! Feel humbled by your words! 🙂
It gives a certain perspective to us sothern Swedes when I hear you: Even if it is ”just” -15C… :) Love your videos!
Thank you Joachim! It was a balmy evening, I didn't even have to use my warm gloves!! 😀
Awesome image David 👍
Thank you! Yes I got quite pleased! The guiding was not perfect, so there is little to work on but overall I'm satisfied! 😀
Lovely image. Looks like you have sorted the focuser tilt.
Thanks! Maybe.. I have to use a small plier to tight the thumb screw. And loctite to most threads.. 😀
Phenomenal! Your astro-expeditions are amazingly wonderful. Bravo! Super Whirlpool Galaxy!
Thank you Keith! I hope there will be many expeditions this winter!!
I like the way your content is different to other AP channels I have come across. I love it! Great videos and pictures. :)
Thank you! I try to create my own tonality let some of my personality and the unique environment permeates the videos! :)
Outstanding! 🍻
Thank you Ron! It was an amazing night!!
Simply amazing 😍.
This is quite another part of Sweden from where I live. Luckily I've got you to bring it home for me.
Love your choice of music as a companion to your stunning pictures.
Keep up the good work.
(COOP julskinka 😂...not even December yet)
K
I know, but I grabbed the julskinka at the store when I was on my way out! 😅 But I forgot the mustard!! Thank you for watching Thomas!
Thanks for doing these videos David. I laughed when you said ,’it’s -15C so it’s not that cold…”
Thank you for watching! Yeah -15°C is a bit refreshing but not cold! 😅
Wow what an incredible video. One of the best and most interesting Astro vids I’ve seen since I’ve been doing this hobbie. -15. Jees I struggle with -2 here in the UK.

In Florida the Polaris is waaaaay down by the horizon. Crazy he was pointing basically straight up
This was about 66-67°N so it feels as Polaris is almost over the head. I have to tilt the tripod because the mount is constructed for max 65°N. 😀
Thank you, absolutely wonderful!
Thanks Paul, yes, isnt't it quite beautiful!? But unfortunatelys it's so easy to gets home blind. I think it's more beautiful when I look at my own drone shots than when I'm there.. 😀

Heroic! What camera did you use to film Cygnus and the Big Dipper?
Thank you! I used a Nikon Z6ii with the Z50/1.8
Casually, about the reindeer: "He has probably never seen an astro photographer" 😂😂😂👍
😅 yeah I think it was actually true also. Probablu I was one of the first (THE first) astro photographer that put up the gear at that spot east of Mårdsel!
"It has probably never seen an astrophotographer" :-D
It was a wild beast! Non-educated about this noble hobby!
This made me laugh, too! :))

😅 Yeah, he (or she) was a little bit curious though. Maybe he smelled the ham I had!
