Why haven't I discovered this channel before! Astro photography has always been something mysterious to me, but with these amazing tips I'll give it a new try this coming winter:-) I really can't say how inspiring this is, and look forward to explore the rest of your videos.
Great tips, thanks for sharing! About the safety... The first time I tried astrophotography (a few weeks back) was a few kilometers away from home, and it counts as the out-of-city. There were no camps around, maybe a few houses. Nobody walked around, I started to capture at 11 PM and then a few cars passed near me. One of them drives very slowly and was very close, being suspicious about what I was doing. The plan was to go from there at 12.30 AM but my father said we can't stay here, so we drive home at 11.45 PM.
Glad you made it home safe! People can get really weird about photographers being out at night and I've had a lot of scary experiences in the field interacting with people. Safety is very important!
Great video! Merci beaucoup! I had a Sony A7iii and I was in impression the the software auto detect if the camera is on tripod and was not required to put the stabilisator off. I'll check for my new Alpha 1.
Hi! I love this channel 🤩 it is very illustrative. I currently enjoy astrophotography and I'm learning a lot here 🤓 I have a Canon EOS Rebel T6i camera so I wish I could take pictures of the Milky Way. I don't know which lens to buy for my camera and to be able to get good results. Greetings.
Since your in Minnesota can you recommend anywhere good to shoot in the Southern Metro area, the best I can find currently is NE of Northfield I'm homing to find some where darker not on the side of the road within an hour of driving.
Check this map and aim for a green/blue zone: www.lightpollutionmap.info/ I think where you're at now is probably the best you'll get... south metro is so hard to work with vs. where I am up in North Dakota and where my parents live in Woodbury, so I'm sorry I don't have more info but it is super hard to get pure dark skies down there.
I cant agree more about safety! Im a new to astro and just last night found a spot on google maps, local state park boat launch and camp site. I was going to go out and take some shots but good thing i read the reviews of the place because it is a hangout for sketchy homeless and otherwise undesirable hang abouts. Going out in the middle of the woods alone with 5k of gear and my brand new vehicle isnt something i take lightly even with a concealed weapon.
Yeah it's crazy how lucky people are when they are out all alone doing photography. It's very important to at least have mace/pepper spray with you for any animals or dangerous people.
Thank you for a beautiful video. Would love to see a video sharing tips on the gear mentioned for different budgets (e.g. tripods)
Thanks, and that's a great idea!

Yes, sensor stabilization can really ruin astro shots, that's why I turn it off wheneber I'm doing astro.

I have the same camera as yours. The basic kit lens works absolutely fine. But any lens with low aperture is plus.
Since your in Minnesota can you recommend anywhere good to shoot in the Southern Metro area, the best I can find currently is NE of Northfield I'm homing to find some where darker not on the side of the road within an hour of driving.

I think you could easily have enough content to make a separate video for safety tips
I'm thinking about making a video specifically on safety in astrophotography.
@@Apalapse that would be great, thank you

Dont forget to bring toilet paper!!! You never want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere without it.
true! maybe that tip will make it another video ;)
What about the Bigfoot...???...
