In this video, I compare photographing the Pleiades (M45) with a DSLR and telephoto lens on a fixed tripod versus on a star tracker. Processing with DeepSkyStacker and Photoshop. Example files for this video and other resources on my website here: www.nebulaphotos.com/resources/m45
If you don't use Photoshop, please watch the first 46 minutes of the video above (part 1) before moving on to part 2 (choices below):
Part 2A - DSS and GIMP: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftehaNR_19zbhWg.html

Thank you for showing such clear results on "no tracking" method across multiple videos.

Your fine work allowed me (and many others) to dive into this amazing hobby without investing a ton of money into gear.

I have watched many of your videos over the past few months but this one I keep coming back to and continue learning - You have done such an awesome job of sharing how to allow us newbies in this field to understand some of the tools we can use on our own to answer our own specific questions regarding the appropriate shutter speed, aperture, ISO, etc. for each of our specific cameras and lenses and tracker. I have read soooooo many books that never provide enough detail to help understand what I need to do in a given circumstance for a given target based on our specific equipment... (“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime” @Lao Tzu.) Thank you so very much for continuing to do what you do.

Love that I found this channel after @AlynWallace and @astrobackyard collections of tutorials! Everyone helpful, informational, while having enough variance to discern important lessons on this subject. Being in the massachusetts area, Im glad someone is as successful with imaging while battling the variances in weather throughout the year. I tend to use cameras not intended for any sort of framable astrophotography (gopros, phone cameras, so far, entry levels and kits lens next!), so the relatively new focus on youtube creators tutorials on starter level cams and editing has been a MAJOR help to me in both hobby AND business, so I appreciate the hell out of all of your work! Oddly, phones and gopros have been focusing on developing better night photography, and Im even practicng deep sky Super Easy with a phone, which blows my mind that its even possible! Weird objects lately too from satellite swarms to new flying objects of unknown origin (to me anyways LOL) and meteor showers galore... this has been a blast so far!

I must say it is really amazing what you can do with very little gear but by paying attention to all the details, i ve been doing this for 2 years now and have a lot of gear but it’s just so satisfying to see what you can do with a camera and a tracker if you have all the information to give you a head start. I spent so much time and frustration even with much better gear and your videos just give all the information you need. I really love that every video just gives you the WHOLE process that is invaluable and it’s sad to see others not being as diligent and educational as you are. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!

Awesome comparison! Thanks and Respect! I had no doubt, that the longer exposed subs bring more depth (even if You'd use only the half total exposure time), but I did not expect the difference that huge. The keyword for good pictures is signal/noise-ratio - and "Signal" comes first... Having very few noise is nice, but it does not bring much if there is also very few signal. Capturing as much as possible signal in each sub brings depth to the final picture, so a tracking system (even if it's just a DIY Barndoor mount) is still(*) more important as I expected. * when I started astrophotography 2 decades ago, we had no digital cameras, we exposed on dia-positive film (i prefered Kodak Ektachrome 200). Single shot exposure over several minutes. Manually/visually guided on the (not motorized) equatorial mount through a small lens telescope. Even aligning that mount (no polar finder scope, no App) was an adventure. And the result came 2-3 weeks later from the photo laboratory. Digital cameras have made so much things so much easier. (but they've also complicated other things...)

But i did a little workflow-tuning on the setup, so i use a small motorized tracker and choose a exposure time of 2.5 sec because the lens is too slow at 250. It works fine for me and now i optimise my work on the software-side. Many thanks for your great work with this channel!

I know the tracked version has more detail, but I think I prefer the untracked version 😬 I think it’s the colour of the stars they look more blue than the tracked version, great video again Nico, I recently followed your step by step guide for Andromeda and had pretty good results so thank you for these videos, looking forward to the next one 😎

Some time ago, there was a Japanese photog who combined OOF images (similar to tracking/non-tracking) with focused images in order to emphasize star colours.

Thanks! One tip, you could use N.I.NA to focus. Connect your camera and turn on annotate image under settings imaging. As you take your test frames you will visually see the fwhm go up and down. 👍

So much information, awesome video! It’s hard to think of Somerville without thinking of Leone’s Pizza on Broadway.

Here in Aotearoa/New Zealand, we call the Pleiades Matariki - and this year (two days ago actually) it was finally for the first time our newest National Holiday based on indigenous beliefs. Matariki symbolises the New Year for many Maori and is celebrated on a different day each year (depending on different tribes and the moon phases as well).

This has been great! I really like your videos. I try to do astrophotography from my backyard with a modded camera and tripod under a Bortle 6 sky in the city. I've got results that are not that good though but this weekend I'm finally receiving a star tracker after a long wait (all out of stock since November). I'm following your video and I hope to have some results as good as yours in this video, I''ll start with the Peyades to compare. Clear skies!!

Awesome Angel! The Pleiades are a very nice object. Orion is also a good choice. Cheers, Nico
