- How to take sharp photo of the milky way?
I love photography and my favorites are landscape and Astro, I don't normally stack my Astro images because I'm using a star tracker. But I did tried it in this video and the result is really great, I will try again with at least 10 or more images as I 'd only use 3 frames for this video demonstration.
Check out my images on my website:

Gears that were used:
- Sony a7iii
- Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD
- Polarie Star Tracker by Vixen Optics
- Zomei Tripod
Thank you for watching.

Wicked dude. I been looking for that for a while. Have all the software but never used ph Have staked photos and love the space station Astro and lightning fotos.
Welcome @Tim, good to hear you’re enjoying astro as well. All the best man
Fantastic explanation! thank you!!!
Thank you - have been searching for a good tutorial on this.
You’re welcome @Sean. Thank you for your time watching this content.
Thank you so much sir
Great video and technique. Thanks for sharing Milky Way stacking using LRC and PS. Mahalo & Aloha.
You’re welcome. Thank you for spending your time watching the video. More to come. All the best
Great....
awesome,
Thanks buddy
Great video and the final result of the picture looks awesome! How large was the file size after you flattened the 3 images? And what are the specs of your computer?
Thank you @Erry. I saved the file in .tiff which is usually 121 MB. I’m using a windows laptop with i7 (8th gen), 16 GB RAM, Nvidia GPU with additional 4GB RAM, 256 SSD internal storage + 2TB HDD.
@@OneRiley Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated!
Thank your for your video tutorial. Been trying to stack my milkyway photos using LRc and PS and i cant seem to get it right. Will try to do your ways and hopefully get the result like yours🙏 🇵🇭
Thank you Kabayan. All the best 👍
Very nicely explained. Good video.
Is it possible to capture milky way/night sky/star photo without using a star tracker and avoiding star trailing. I do not have a tracker and I have tried several times to capture stars photos but always ended in star trails.
Thank you for spending your time watching the video bro. Yup, it’s definitely possible, you just need to shorten your shutter speed (exposure). Would you be able to share your camera model and lens? I might give you the proper settings.
Great video and my results worked out well, really happy with the simplicity of it all. Many thanks. 👍
All good Andrew. Glad this video helped. Thank you for your time watching this content. All the best
@@OneRiley do you use a remote to take all your photos without moving the camera?
Kia Ora @Jack, no I didn’t use any remote but the built-in 2 seconds timer on the camera. All the best
@@OneRiley with the 2 second timer do you just basically timelapse it?
Recently got a tracker. My pictures have improved a little bit (compared to untracked results) but are deffinitley not as sharp as yours and the details you have are incredible :D what do I do wrong I wonder.
Maybe my lens is not suited for astro? It's Sigma 17-50 2.8. It was tracked perfectly on my nikon D5500. It's true that the stars are not perfect points like yours but did my best focusing to infinity.
Hello @Josef, how long have you been using your tracker? Polar alignment is a bit tricky and still needs a lot of practice, some of the lens as well can capture pinpoint stars at the center but a little distorted at the edge.
@@OneRiley hi thanks for quick response, this was my 2nd time tracking. Did 10 light frames 2min each. The edges are blurry and I did step down a little to reduce the blurr effect. However when I preview the image it’s just not as detailed and sharp as your picture.
I suspect that it might be the lens, but try another round and shorten the exposure to just 30 secs to 1 min. Maybe it’s slightly out of inifinity focus as well? Once you’ve got the right spot, it should be all good. Please feel free to comment anytime and I’ll try to respond as quickly as possible. All the best Josef. 😀
If one had black and bias frames, how does one use it in Photoshop?
I haven’t tried that one yet bro, I’ll try it next time and will let you know
Is your Sony A7iii Astro modified?
No @Taali, it’s a regular sony a7iii that I also use for portraits and events. I only have one camera
Thanks ! This is reassurance to save my coins and perfect my techniques
You’re welcome. All the best @Taali
This doesn't appear to work in PS 2024 unless I'm doing something wrong. I have 10 DNGs which are all the same in Lightroom Classic. After choosing panorama in PS at 4:01, and unchecking the "Blend Images Together" checkbox at 4:19, PS creates what looks like an actual panorama image where they are shown one below the other. They don't appear like yours do, where they take up the full canvas each.
That’s sad to hear bro, can you try restarting your Pc and do ot again please? Not sure of the new AI thing on that version that hinders you to process it like the way on this video.
what star tracker is that
Hey bro it’s Polarie by Vixen Optics
@@OneRiley Thanks!
i have samyang 14mm 2.8 manual focus lens on my canon rp, i dont get those colours you get. i stacked 17 exposures, iso 3200 25sek each and still dont get any good colours. untracked
Oh that’s interesting, I usually get good colors from iso 2000 above. Your location probably has a some light pollution affecting the final images?
I live in bortle 2. northern hemisphere, thanks for replying.
I’ll try to simulate your settings once i have a clear skies, I’ll let you know my results soon 😀
If you take more exposures like maybe 30 or 40 you might get a better image
