'More connected.' Never truer words spoken. Discovered this when I was 14 and my Astronomy journey began. Greetings from Australia.

Nice result! I like the philosophical connections you’re making, Trevor. It’s an important aspect for me, too. Each night out brings the universe closer to the heart in many ways.

I love seeing you cover the basics again. It's always cool to see what you can do with a super simple setup! Not to mention how your video quality just keeps getting better. Great job, Trevor!

I enjoy all of your videos, Trevor. I especially appreciate the ones where you go back to your roots and revisit the early days. Not because they feel sentimental, but because so many that enjoy your channel are beginners, and you've never forgotten what that is like, wondering if they can do it, too. I watch this video and realize "Hey, I can do that." And that's what I'm going to do. Thanks man!

Thank you for continuing to inspire me! It's great to see you cover basic gear again for us newcomers! It's amazing to see how far your videos have come and look forward to what you have in the future! Clear Skies!

Good on you for getting back to basics with well produced beginner level videos. I love the simplicity of shooting without computers.

Love the talk about being and feeling more connected with everything up there. This is what it means to us as a family as well 🙏

Trevor, I got into astrophotography because of your videos and I look forward to every one. So glad you still make videos with entry level gear for us!

thanks a million. it’s so nice of you to help out all of us folks who are on a budget. and i love what you had to say near the finish 🥰

The lighting in this video is insane! Great job man. You inspire so many people to pursue astrophotography, including me :D

Thank you for doing what you do. I love that you will shoot on just about anything. And it makes people inspired to try astrophotography because it can be done with even a simple set up.

Beautiful ending, Trevor. Love the monologue, it aligns 100% with my mission and passion for sharing the stars. Cheers buddy hope to hang soon.

Another great shot! Always so motivating to keep working on my astrophotography whenever I see the works of art you produce.

You nailed it man. The bg score along with your production plus the images you take, process and share. Just so perfect man. Keep it up!!

Loved this one, thank you for sharing Trevor! Taking things back to basics sometimes is a really good way to reconnect with the hobby and what made you fall in love with it in the first place! :-)

Awesome video and image Trevor! Can't wait to give this a try with my kit lens!

This video really brought me back to your old style videos. Fantastic imaging session bud. Thank you for another awesome video!

Thank you so much, Trevor. This is actually (about to be) my exact setup. I recently bought an EOS Rebel T7 for mainly astrophotography but as I started taking normal photos too I really fell in love with it as well. Just a few hours ago I was finally able to order my long-awaited Star Adventurer 2i Pro Pack. I'm thinking of also buying a new tripod because I am using an old one and I don't really trust it. My camera came loose out of nowhere on it (yes, I caught it). I also will buy a ball head because I've seen a lot of astrophotographers and especially you recommend them. My main point of all of this is that you have inspired me to start astrophotography and have been such a huge help in getting me started. So far I am really proud of the untracked Milky Way shots that I have achieved. So much color and detail after stacking and Photoshop. I started doing calibration frames and stuff and that helped too. I've always been interested in space and photos from it, but you are one of the main people that have helped me actually make my dream of starting to do it myself come true. I really appreciate you and what you do and I hope you continue to share your astrophotography journies for as long as you can. Thank you, a lot.

Excellent result Trevor! And always a treat to see your dedication and enthusiasm!

I purely enjoy every video of yours, from how you film your videos and choice of fantastic music combined with amazing pictures stuns me every time. You are a big inspiration for me getting started with astrophotography. I ordered my first telescope and startracker and cant wait to test it out. I have been following you since 20k subs and i really enjoy the passion that you put in every video. Thank you again for all your shared knowledge and for helping me starting my own astrophotography journey. Thx Trevor Clear skies

Always inspirational Trevor. Good to see you coming back to basics which I thoroughly enjoy. Like many other watchers of your channel, you are one of my favourite tutors 🤝

this is almost my exact setup, can't wait to try this target later this summer! awesome video!

Great video Trevor, very inspirational! My very first camera which I plan to eventually use for astrophotography arrived in the mail today, I’ll be coming to your channel a lot as I learn more about astrophotography! 😄

Beautiful! You genuinely can’t beat a night under the stars. I recently went out with my star adventurer milkyway imaging, but there was a little too much cloud to get any decent images. That being said, I did enjoy the simple things and being able to just gaze into the heavens watching the odd shooting star and the milkyway fade into view between the cloud gaps, whilst becoming a victim of my own inner curiosity! The what, where, why’s taking hold. Great vid Trev 😊.

One of my favorite videos by you. Nice to get back to basics and see amazing results like this.

Nice to see you get back to basics with this one. Really great image.

You are setting my expectations of the capabilities of my current setup so high. I have the exact same setup without the tracker, but that's coming soon! :)

Amazing as always, Trevor!

I love this so much! One of my favorite areas of the sky to shoot. That "S" band of stars that frame up the Trifid and Lagoon for what ever reason is intoxicating to me. Bonus points for doing it with budget equipment. There is something to be said for when you say, "This set up is light weight" and the snatch it with 1 hand lol.

It's good to see, that it's possible to shoot nebulas on basic kit. Great throwback!

Great video! Thanks for putting something together for those of us starting out. Very informative and encouraging.

I love this so much. Thank you, Trevor!

Great Photo! Looking forward to seeing more targets shot by this budget kit.

Yes sir!!! Loved the ending comments, great work as always man!

Couldn't tell you how much I enjoyed that reveal music. Great image man. Enjoyed this video.

Just used this lens last night to capture the Pleiades with the lunar eclipse. Framed very well. Really a great lens.

Love your work mate! Couldn't agree with you more regarding the ability of the universe to make you feel things 👏

I am speechless right now. I have chills from that photo. Amazing, amazing, amazing !!! Strong motivation for me !!! Thank you Trevor for this.

I just heard about your channel today, searched for Astronomy clubs near me and found the Ford Amateur Astronomy Club in Dearborn, MI…and your name was mentioned in their newsletter! Amazing! I’ll be watching and learning. Thank you

Your video quality is insane and your geting biger and biger congrats 😀

Loved this episode Trevor! So inspiring! 🤩 Lisa

Great video Trevor as always! The note about not feeling alone while shooting really resonated with me

I so miss this hobby but challenges with gear, weather and light pollution caused me to hang it up about 20 years ago. I am amazed at the newest tech now though compared to when I was doing it. All of the challenges I mentioned before have only gotten worse for me since then though but I still feel it calling my name to jump back in, especially lately.

Hey man I love your work I just started astrophotography recently and your channel has helped me so much thanks :)

Hi Trevor, great job! I love your videos, they are very interesting and your words show how much you love doing all this!

we appreciate you doing and sharing these beautiful images bro 🙌

You did it Trevor! Inspiring I shall have to give it a go here in Perth WA. Love that number plate by the way!

Great video Trevor. I know you didn't cover the processing (I assume there was some processing) and the imaging details, but inspirational videos like this are just what some of us need in the dog days of summer.

Simply wow! So well presented....with all the pertinent information.

incredible, I never thought we could do that with this stuff. I love you !!!

Another awesome video Trevor , I feel the same way when i look at the night sky.

Great video! I just photographed the galactic center last weekend while in Canyon City, CO. There are so many targets in it and I look forward to processing my images. I shot it with an Astro 60D, 16-35 2.8, 1600 at 30 sec. The only regret I have is I only shot 10 images. Guess I was getting sleepy! Love your tips as they encourage me to do better. Thank you!!

Thank you some much Trevor! You made me fall in love with astrophotography.

So glad I found this , I’ve just bought a camera to start astrophotography , can’t wait to get out and see what shoots I can get ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

I really enjoyed the message at the end of this one. From Alabama, US, which seems to be notorious for being cloudy whenever anything cosmic occurs. I spent the other night complaining about the light pollution around my area, the fact my tracking mount hasn't shipped nearly 6 months later, and anything else that could come to mind. But just before the meteors started rolling in, I had an epiphany about how people in the past didn't worry about technology, they just watched the stars. I put my limited equipment away, reclined and just enjoyed the show for the first time in a long time.

Thanks for all your vids very helpful

Much better. More instructional and inspiring, keep up the good work.

Good work Trevor! That is definitely amazing!

Thanks Bro for Giving Such Type of video ❤️❤️❤️

Great shot and great storytelling as usual

great video as always Trevor ! id really like to see a workflow for this one

Great video, I have just started my journey into astrophotography, and of course will be using kit lens.

Nice Job Trevor, your timing was perfect, when i was gonna give up trying to photograf using the same lens, you gave me hope.. Thank you! and Awesome job again! Here's Rudy to you .. :)

We’ll done Trevor! The Radian tripod is a great unit to use with star trackers. Very lightweight and stable. It’s my go to for sure.

Good exercise and super result, Trevor!

Nicely done!

You’re content is so wholesome and beautiful. Thanks for posting.

I couldn’t agree more with your philosophical conclusion to this vid. Always some helpful tips so thanks for this one!

Great video Trevor !👍👍

Thank you for making this video you and galactic hunter were the soul reason I went and purchased a T6I and a 75-300mm lens only thing I don't have is a star tracker so far I am loving what I purchased just need better equipment for the future but you dont understand how much it means for me knowing I can get similar results under the right circumstances

Great little setup Trevor, lovely final image. I want to shoot the trifid but its only 15 degrees in my sky!

That is the exact camera and lens that I have. Thanks a bunch for this video!

A very wholesome package of video in such a small length. Love it! Could you share with us if you've taken calibration frames and at what f-stop was a single exposure adequate? Cheers from Greece.

Great Video!! Thanks for posting...

Please do more of such videos with the 75-300mm Lens. Those are so motivational to beginners like me😍😍

Awesome Trevor, now I know its possible with my Rokinon lens, now just need that small mount and I can give it try.

Thank you! Simply great.

Absolutely love your content!! Got my first shots of milkway last night with use of star tracker and although it was nothing like yours the night was just mind-blowing experience still smiling😃 and the meteor shower was just a cherry on top!!! Uk based fan !!!

Thank you for sharing. Your love for what you do rubs off on us all. ✨✨🙏

Trevor this was really Great and inspiring. Keep it up. It really gives me flame to my astronomy career

Excellent job Trevor. It is interesting how with a cheap lens like this Canon 70-300 we can enter in the amazing astrophotography world. I have a Sigma 70-300 DG APO lens which is very similar at the Canon and I can say it is wonderful too.

This is great. I'm definitely saving up for this setup and then i'll take the kids out with their scopes and we'll have some serious fun. Thank you !

Just yesterday I was outside taking pictures and thinking about the same question as I was standing there alone... you really do feel a deeper connection with everything around you. I actually began wondering if somewhere there was another creature in this fast universe looking toward us, doing what I was doing and wondering as I was wondering. I've actually given it a name, I like to imagine it will be my counterpart out there in the Universe. Might sound strange, but fills me with a feeling of connection to something bigger. :)

Well done. Channel highlight worthy.

Beautiful words there.. and amazing result... Greetings from Greece Trevor!

Really awesome video! I've got a Rebel T8i on the way that I am excited to point skyward. I had never heard of Bahtinov masks before, I'll have to look into those.

Lucky you!!! I've been wanting to photograph those targets most of the summer with similar equipment, but between Monsoon rain clouds, and now smoke from Western fires, it's been hopeless here in New Mexico

The fact that he looks like Chris Hatfield just makes his hobby even better

Great image. I use an older Rebel [650D] and get great results - impressed that you can get 2 minute subs with a star tracker. We are blessed to have the Lagoon directly above us during the Sothern Hemisphere winter. You can't avoid it sometimes!

You are the lucky one getting enough time to do this stuff, back in India we struggle to see clear sky.... I love space science and astrophotography is my new passion now.... Thanks Trevor.

What a treat, just watching this after settling my first NFT Astrophotography auction. When I started watching Trevor a couple years ago and learning about Astrophotography I had no idea what an epic journey it would be. Cheers for doing what you and showing the way. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing your Stoke.

Wow I liked that one a lot. I like all your videos, haha but the field trips are fun too!

Amazing..!! Just an awesome capture, Sir..!! Thank You for sharing this amazing video..!! I get inspiration from your videos and want to learn the technique of Astro Photography. Once again, a big thanks to you, Sir..!!

Those last Words is so true. Standing for your self at Night and looking Up at THE stars it is so calming. My first target whas M42 it is easy. Now i am learning My az GTI Mount.

ive been watching all your videos waiting for one like this , now knowing i ca get a decent shot with my Nikon d5600 and my sigma 150:600mm lens , great video and thanks for all the others

Hey Trevor, Thanks a lot for making great videos and for the motivation and positive vibe that you deliver with each of them! I really appreciate your enthusiasm and your full commitment. Please do not stop creating awesome content! Greetings from Hungary!

I like these back to basics videos, only because I can relate with my setup :D

I got a whole bunch of astrophotography gear for Christmas. Unfortunately, I got deployed shortly afterwards so I’ve yet to try it out. But, as soon as I get home, that’s one of the first things I plan to do.

As a south Floridian I agree 100% lol. Im actually going to go shoot the lagoon and triffid tonight with the same lens. Great shot Trevor! Im gonna see if i can get relatively close to your image lol.

Dude I really love your content ❤️🌌
