- In this video I took a road trip to photograph the Milky Way in the desert. I decided I needed to escape the cloudy weather in Mississippi. I show what it's like to plan an astrophotography trip and what gear to bring. I also cover how to photograph the Milky Way.

I love milky way road trips! Respect that you stuck with it for so many days without a first result. End results are awesome 👍
I hope I will visit United States at least once in my life and I don't even care about a single city. I just want to see the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Yellowstone, Mt Rainier.. I don't know. To me its the most beautiful country ever. You have desert, you have mountains, you have forests, you have green infinite fields, you have the ocean, everything. What a great land. I always admire people who travels through the States. I'm from Turkey, also geographically one of the most beautiful countries ever but America is different..
Traveling from one side of the country to the other feels like going to a different planet! If you ever make it here, plan on renting a vehicle and making a long road trip!
Welcome to USA!!! If you come, Yosemite is a must!! May as well add Mono Lake to your list. It's absolutely gorgeous and dark for the milky way.
Ülkenin tek özelliği çok büyük olması. Bundan dolayı da envai çeşit biomları var.
Dude, being out in the wild to capture the beauty of the Milky Way is what it is all about.
Nice one again Walt - all the way from the UK
I love all your videos, this one connected with me more, I went to this area 2 years ago not exclusively for the Milkyway, but it was a great trip, you are very committed to the goal I respect that, and you're very real and authentic photographer and have a great sense of humor good for you, you earn my subscription I'm a big fan, thank you for clear explanation and tips & tricks, keep up the good job.
Wow what a road trip! Congratulations, your effort paid out, well done not giving up. Awesome outcome 👍👍😃
Great video Walt. I was there at the same time. Flew from UK for Monument Valley and the 5 big national parks. Got some milky-way images at Monument Valley on 18th May and Zion on 23rd. Lots of clouds most nights, but when it’s clear as you say gives you time to marvel and think. Clear skies, Ian
Magnificent trip, and the photos are Fantastic.
I love your videos, congratulations and continue with them they are a source of inspiration, a follower of yours 🇵🇹
Thoroughly enjoyed the video - felt like I just went on a road trip myself. Great shots of the Milky Way there, especially the one with the jumping cactus in the foreground.
Jumping cacti are so cool looking! I knew from the moment I started heading to that area a jumping cactus would have to be in the shot somehow!
I found a cool place last night in northern AZ, was peaceful and no people there with a nice smooth reflection until the moon rose
Oh sweet! I'm thinking about heading back out there soon. Do you know the name of the area? I would love to check it out! I'm always happy to take suggestions!
I really liked this video. I live too far north (59N) to get those views of the Milky Way, thanks for sharing your little adventure.
Brilliant, just brilliant! Great views, humour and so informative as always. What a distance to travel, but the results are stunning 👌
What a great video! I loved getting to live vicariously through you on this adventure! Take me with you next time! 🤩 and as always, fantastic shots!
Amazing adventure! 😍
Wow! What an amazing and inspiring video. I live in Arizona and I hope to get some pictures like these, thanks to this video and the others you’ve made. This is, by far, my favorite astro channel. Keep up the awesome work, Walt. And thank you so much.
Massively informative, and fun to boot. Bravo!
Holy crap! I won’t any longer think my 2.5 hour drive to Joshua Tree NP sucks.
Yeah, I am in Orange County. I wanted to shoot the Milky Way so badly this Summer if it weren’t for my car situation. Just bought a Rokinon 14mm.
Another amazing video Walt! its been super cloudy for months for me as well and smoky because of wildfires. Im in canada so sorry about the smoke eh. The fires here are really bad and we are living it everyday. It makes me scared for our planet and climate change. This video brought me some welcome relief and joy!
Thanks. I learned some new to me tips on using astrospheric
Perfect timing for this video I enjoyed it big time! Currently planning a trip in September to Utah and Arizona as well, just got back from Big Bend National Park in Texas as well as New Mexico got some great Milky Way shots there
Great photos and travelogue, thank you! Clear skies!
Thank you! Clear skies to you as well!
Absolutely loved this video buddy you guys in the states are so lucky to be able to throw the gear on the car and drive hundreds of thousands of miles to find clear skies not jealous honest 😂😂 again brilliant work
Thank you! These are my favorite videos to make! I'm hopefully going back to the desert in two weeks.
@@deltaastrophotography I look forward to seeing the video I'm shooting the the wizard nebula tonight
Man! What a great trip! Being alone in the desert, no one around must be beautiful! The results are worth the sweating 😂
Cheers from Germany,
Chris ✌️
Wow. That was great. On a road trip to Northern New Mexico for clear night skies right now.
You should do more videos like this. I really love it!
These are by far my favorite to do!
Wonderful journey and the images. Inspirational.
Thank you so much!
I feel you when it comes to non-stop rain for weeks mate. Its been 2 weeks of non stop rain and cloud and stuff here in Tassie so far. Luckily I'm still waiting for my shiny new SWSA Gti to arrive which should coincide with some clear dark skies 🤞🪐🌃. The suspense is killing me. Thanks for sharing that adventure and wow its great to see you back out doing some nightscapes. Clear skies. Great channel, inspiring content.
We love you too Walt. Amazing video and images 🤘
Thank you so much!
I’m just waiting for the darker nights in Scotland so I can get started with astrophotography. Keep up the great work and I look forward to the next editing tutorials like all your videos 👍🏻
That was fun. Thanks for sharing!
Great vid Walt . Stay Spacey .
Know how you feel.... same type of weather here in New England.
Thanks for bringing us along!!!
Awesome video, the Muley point image was a real winner
Great video as usual Walt, love the information in your videos.
Great pictures, Walt!
It's nice to go out and let the mind drift away for a few days, even if it's just driving around and not being able to do what was planned. It's healthy and keeps you going!
Awesome video --thank you!
Love the cactus Walt 😌 ( Milky Way not bad either 🤣)
Thank you ❤
Great video, thanks for taking us along on your adventure! Informative, as always.
Great video Walt - I love these road trip videos - and wonderful photos!
Excellent shot of Milky Way 👏
Love it! Thanks.
Thank YOU! These are my favorite videos to make.
This is so inspiring! I always wanted someone to make a video like this that includes success AND failures. Love all your work! PS: ke3p making these vlogs
Great video Walt. What an amazing journey you had. I loved the Muley Point photo. Really good. Thanks.
Superb video and photo's to match 👍
That switchback is called the Moki Dugway! I love that area of Utah! Your trip has got me itching to go back! Great video!
As always Walt, great video. Love your channel. When I grow up I want to do what you do. LOL
Awesome video Walt. In two weeks we are going camping deep into the Colorado mountains. I’m taking my travel scope after being inspired by your videos last year. Thanks
Hope you have a great trip and some clear skies!
Thanks!
Thank you SO MUCH!
Danke!
Thank you so much!
well done sir...
Thank you!
Dude that was awesome! I do not envy that drive though!! So glad you got a new camera!
I won't lie, it was rough driving almost non-stop for two days each way alone. I'm considering some kind of RV for future astro adventures. I have no idea how I'm going to afford it, but now I have goals!
Great pic...
Abraços desde Brasil
Thanks from Brazil🙂🙏🚍🇧🇷
Thank YOU!
Very cool and informative Walt! Im planning a 2 days road trip for next weekend. Ill bring a setup for deep space which will shoot all night long a single target in Bortle 2. Ill also have a spare stock DSLR, samyang 14 mm or 135 mm and star adventurer and i wanted to do a cool milky way panorama like yours or a milky way timelapse. Which settings would you recommend for the time lapse?
Focus stack the foreground.
Great video. Great shot. Utah is no joke. You might want rent a satellite phone if you do that again - gives you a little security if you need it.
If you make another road trip that direction, you'll need to check out Alien Throne in northwestern New Mexico. Google it. Incredible images.
I think I'm going back out there next month, so I'll check it out!
I really liked the video Walt. Next time, bring a hat with you. 😅
Right! I was so mad at myself for not bringing a hat!
@@deltaastrophotography Walt, do you usually shoot the sky at the same focal length as the foreground?
@@davidletz9123 Yes! I always use 24mm with a full frame camera for both.
I hope you can do a video on more of a process of going out...I know you kinda touched on what to bring but idk about the rest of everyone on here but it is my dream to just drive out west and get lost in the world, but im nervous about going on property im not supposed at, being on someone elses property, etc... Also maybe a budget plan? How much do you on average spend on these trips?
I am super young so any information is well appreciated!
First of all I saved up for a long time for this trip. This is not something I can do anytime I want. I used a rental vehicle so that cost me around $500 for a week. Gas was about $80 a day while I was driving a lot. Once I got settled I wasn't spending much on gas at all. I think I spent around $400 on gas for the entire trip. I slept in rest stops or camped in BLM land, so I never paid a dime for a place to stay. You should totally get the Campendium app and pay the $50 yearly fee so you can see the BLM maps. BLM land is free public land that you can stay on but it's usually found in the west. Like west of Texas. Campendium also shows you campsites in national parks, rest stops, and forests. Please hit me up on Instagram if you want advice or help with anything!
So I shot the Rho Ophiuchi and got the strange image of the nebula. Don't know what happened to my posts from yesterday. Here is the link you asked for dlmaiselphotography under Galleries The Night.
-❤❤❤-
Come to South Africa and get Pitch Black skies in the Karoo Region >> ZERO light pollution and Darker nights than anywhere in USA and Europe
Going to Africa has been a dream of mine for a long time! I would love to go!
Is your Tamron Lens the G2 or original?
It was the G2. I ended up selling it for a new telescope 😬😂
I have sent the link to the creepy image of Rho Ophiuchi to you.
🌟 "Promo SM"
I was watching your video for Rho Ophiuchi the other night and went out the next night to shoot it at 175mm. I split the stars & nebula. Was processing the nebula portion in Photoshop and came across something really creepy. Would like to send you a jpg of the image. No I don't do Instagram or any other social media. I do have my website you could go to view the image unless you have an email. Let me know and I'll post the URL here.
Please post the URL!
@@deltaastrophotography I posted my URL here 3 times now and it keeps disappearing. Any clue on why this is happening? Are the Nazi's at youtube not allowing people to post URL's in the comments.
@@DLMVegas Ugh! Ok try emailing to turkishhorsedoctor@gmail.com
Are you seeing chem trails in your skies as well? In Vegas and our weather is total garbage. Either wind or clouds or both. I've also never seen our weather like this until the past couple of years. Let me know when you're in the Vegas area I can show you lots of places for Milky Way with good foregrounds.
That would be great! And I haven't noticed any chemtrails but that's because I really can't see through the endless cloud cover and smoke! 😂 It's never been this bad
@@deltaastrophotography Sometimes when we have a lot of cloud cover and there's a slight break in the sky, I'm seeing our wonderful government spraying above the cloud cover.
i can only imagine the guy screaming cause he got called just a "wonderful fan" after spending, i don't know, 600 bucks?
Screaming in a positive or negative way?
This "fan" has done so much for me in the last six months that I am literally willing to fly to Europe to give them the biggest hug of all time! There are some amazing people out there and this person is one of the best!
Danke!
Thank you so much!!
