First thing I noticed when you zoomed in on tracked photo was m78 !! Love it. So I tried this myself about a week or so ago from a Bortle 8-9 zone and I couldn’t differentiate the light pollution from nebulousity unfortunately. After watching this though I might revisit my shots and see if they can’t be processed better. I’m not sure if I additionally had some funky flats or maybe the focus ring changed when I did my flats but I recall having some obnoxious rings in my processed photo

I love wide angle astro shots because it gives you a perspective of the place of the object in the night sky. A first step to build the connection with object. Then comes the deep sky astrophotography to give more details about your object. I'm planning to buy a used Canon EOS R --> get it astromodified --> use Rokinon 50 mm F/1.4 lens --> drive to Bortle 2 sky --> shoot with star tracker (60s +) of Orion Constellation around 100 light frames, 25 darks, and 25 flats --> Stack them with dss --> Run Adobe photoshop to do some stretching and curve adjustments and Starnet++ to get nebulosity details --> bring the stars back in photoshop --> do some final contrast enhancements in Adobe lightroom and call it a day 🙂. What do you think of the pipeline for Bernard's loop and other nebulosity around Orion? This camera will also be my permanent camera for Milky Way, Rho Ophiuchi and other big targets with some landscapes during the night.

A great tutorial and superb result. I’ve only recently bought this lens for this purpose and haven’t yet had the opportunity to use it on my Star Adventurer tracker. I have a Canon 600D/T3i with a crop sensor so will be interested to see if I can capture the entire constellation vertically, before Orion disappears. Thanks for sharing 👍 Edit: I got to use this a couple of nights ago. The sky appeared clear but there was obviously some very high cloud which added to the light pollution. Orion was starting to drift downwards into the SW sky which also didn’t help. The images I got all had a light brown tinge to them just like some of yours in similar conditions. But lessons learned - the lens is clearly a ‘light grabber’ even though I had to settle for an ISO of 200 with 60 second exposures at F4. It also proved that I could see all the constellation stars in ‘live view’ within the field of view. Just hope I can get another go at it before Orion finally disappears until next winter

A newcomer will be asking many questions, one of them will be, what image format? RAW, CR2, jpeg-etc. some folks will have a Nikon, Sony, Pentax etc. ? Best image format to use. Pause after shutter up to allow for mirror slap vibrations to settle before next shot, electronic remote control can be a simple hand held and press for each shot, or buy a cheap Chinese intervalvometer for a fraction of the price for a genuine Canon etc. unit. I have several cheap ones and never failed. Newcomers need to get into astrophotography as low cost as possible to see if it is something they want to get into more seriously, but without spending too many dollars to start with. Newcomers find there is a whole new dictionary-terminology to learn/understand, so what experienced folks take for granted-is all new for someone starting out. Just watched a presentation by a fellow using a $10,000 mount, plus a telescope, cooled camera, filter wheel, guide scope, various filters and the rest, no change from $25,000 upwards. Hope these comments help in your future presentations, they are not meant to be critical in any way. I used to teach scientific photography among other medical subjects. Have been into building my own scopes, mounts, observatories over the past 60 years and into professional astronomical photography & photometry when I retired from a medical career. If interested, Google my name and Southern Cross Observatory-Tasmania 42 South. Keep up with your KZfaq presentations-you will help many others. I am 83 and find it takes me a lot longer to get things done, I have many interests and really not enough time to get into making KZfaq videos, my teaching days are behind me. Regards from ‘Down Under’ where we have so many wonderful celestial objects visible year round. 👍🇦🇺🔭🦘

I will try it for sure now. I can mount it to my telescope or to my star adventurer.

Nice video and nice shots. There's a good alternative to the 500 rule for avoiding star trails when shooting on a static tripod. It's called the NPF rule. The formula asks for several variables including aperture. I've noticed over time that IF you use the 500 rule, and then divide that result by 2 or by 3 you'll avoid star trails completely. Recently I made some shots and got that brtownish sky color. It looks interesting at first, but gives me a challenge while editing after doing the stack. More recently when I see the brown on my live view screen I just decrease my shutter speed or my ISO until the brown is gone in my test shots. Keep up the good videos.

Here, where I live, Orion constellation is visible in winter and what is most annoying - it is on south-east, where lies huge city with all its illumination. But this is not that bad, because in winter (I would say starting from october and up to april) ur sky is mostly covered with clouds. And don't forget about frost which together with humidity makes all unbearable.

Taking more pictures is always a good idea! But with a star tracker, ISO 800 is all you'll really need for a while! Two or three minute exposures really bring out so much detail. When you start shooting at focal lengths of 200mm or more, then I would worry about more ISO because your exposure times will get shorter.
