Thank you so much, I got a lot of your tutorial…..very well explained
is he using the 5 mark 3
Thank you, I found this helpful. I previously shot star gazes on my t3i and found I was having to use an iso of 6400, I have since made the upgrade to an 80D and I'm excited to take advantage of the sensor. Camera seems to do a great job getting a clear sky and proper blacks. Thinking I wanna try a 15 minute exposure, I need a timer remote.
Hi Phil Do you give talks to photography clubs? Bairnsdale East Gippsland
Es el mejor video que he visto… increíble!
This was so so so helpful! Thank you so much!!
sounds like he took a massive load in the mouth last night

Can i do this with my canon sx720hs?
How can i find the perfect place for taking this kind of photos?? I tried before but didn't get perfect result..
Some pretty good info and nice shots. Your speaking makes it difficult to hear everything clearly.
Wow thank you so neat on how you explained.
Is this thing possible with Nikon D5200 50mm lens?
Awesome video. Thanks a lot.
wowzer. Loads of inspiration here. thanks. I'll get to work on my new hobby
Don't use exposures over a minute for star trailing (You will get lots of noise). It is much easier to just take a time lapse and use StarStaX to stitch the photos together

I really like night photography, yet I do not have any nice cameras… is it possible to do this type of thing with an iPhone? :/
Great vid. Camera body used and lens?

It's more like art. It's not really a photo. Never saw the point in this kind of photography. Looks cool but it's not what the visible night sky really looks like.

Well done video, sir! Absolutely loved it, and did my first Astrophotography tonight! It wasn't perfect, but it definitely was exciting and not all that bad for a first time! Even caught a shooting star in one frame!! Thank you very much for your tips!
