One tip on lens correction. This will try to reduce the vignetting and that can highly increase the noise levels on the edges of the picture. If you use wide aperture lens such as 2,8f or 1,8f the effect will be very noticeable and hard to fix in later editing. So it is better to apply the lens profile after making sure the vignette levels are not big enough.
New subscriber. Really impressed by your skills! I'd love to see a comparison between Milky Way edits in LR and PS. Also I'm looking at getting a pano head and was wondering what you use? Many thanks.
+Jules Willoughby I might have to do that (the process) ;) - I'm using a ball head with a arca swiss style plate and a nodal rail - the ball head is on a levelling base. I'm using an L plate. instagram.com/p/BAdHmWWDcPx/?taken-by=astrophotobear
+Michael Goh (Astrophotobear) awesome! Thank you for the detailed set up. I'd love to get your thoughts on focusing, whether that be infinity or using a flash light to manually focus on the foreground or furthest star. I never find infinity to be quite accurate so I just bring along a powerful torch for foreground. Again I'd love to hear your thoughts.
he says at the start: 30 seconds at f3.5 with this budget kit lens. ISO was 3200. However, best to shoot as wide open as your lens will allow and if you can, reduce ISO to 1600
Thanks for the video. Although I see that you don't have much of a standard workflow to work on these Milky Way images as you're going up and down and back and forth in the settings. I'd check out lonely speck as he has a pretty standard workflow with Milky Way images which helps in maintaining consistency between images. Both of you guys are awesome though so I'm not in any way saying he's better. I just think his processing technique is a lot more straight forward and systematic. You should definitely check his processing video out some time. Thanks for the upload and beautiful image.
A really quick work flow. I have tried other peoples workflows and they took me 2 to 3 times longer to get the same results. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Michael, really simple edit with awesome results. Will have to go back and re edit some of my shots now.
Nice job. Great use of budget equipment.
Yeah, it uses up my entire budget!
Great video. Just getting into Astrophotography (with budget equipment) so this is a perfect guide for me. Subscribed, cheers ✌️
I took a photo exactly like this one of yours some days ago, i will try to apply your settings.
Thank you Michael.

great vid!
thanks - I'm a little behind on more videos :P
The 18-55 lens is very dark. How did you focus the stars? With that settings, i can't see nothing on the live view screen.
Focus into infinity works most times because of how far away the stars are
Very Nice tutorial
very useful video!
+Aaron Wiggan (Wiggilytuff) thanks muchly
No problems Michael. I especially like, how you take an entry level camera, and show us your process. Very simple and easy to follow.

Which body did you use??
Nikon D5100 says it in the video.
I wonder, how the stars didn't appears as a line? You used a 30 second shutter and that always gives me the line.
+Kevin Zabala there is some star trailing evident - but it depends how large you blow up the image.
