7:09 "if you can't see anything..." I was prepared for "Take your lens cap off" 😂😂
Great vid for beginners 👍🏻📷
Good stuff, Glenn. Looking forward to more astro content
Hähnel was actually a high-quality German photo accessories manufacturer, founded in the 50's. Unfortunately, they moved their HQ to Hong Kong sometime in the 2010's. Great tips, I learned something :-) I would recommend, however, to consider taking shots at one or two aperture clicks down from maximum, especially if it is f/1.4 or so, as this may drastically reduce coma smearing along the edges with not so much reduction in inbound light.
Thank you so much for this video. As a learner, I am impressed with how clear and concise the information was delivered. Brilliant.
Ohhh my god , Glenn - Thank You! You wouldn't believe how tough I've found it to just get the basics starting points for my DSLR / Lens set up. Got Canon 650D and a 70D and just now getting a Ef-S 50-250mm EOS lens. I'm now actually pretty damned motivated to get out of Melbourne's lights and get shooting!
Great video. I’d add three thoughts. 1-Don’t zoom the lens since many lenses will change focus as they zoom. 2-Practice all these settings at home in the light, it’s a lot easier than trying to figure things out in the dark. 3-Turn off long exposure noise reduction.
Well that was the best photography video I've ever watched. Cheers mate, looking forward to having a go at this
This is one of the most simple yet spot on tutorials I have seen ❤
Good necessary tips. Ive known most of them for quite a while through my own trial and error. I never had any problems getting sharp images while in manual focus with image stabilization turned on. In fact, it's helped reduce blurry shaky images during even the slightest windy conditions and camera shake while pressing the shutter. Not everyone has a remote or wants to use a smartphone app as the remote. Just one more device to hassle with.
Thank you for the video. Finally I have some time to learn Astrophotography, I have a little bit of techniques and knowledge but this video has great information in exactly 11 min to learn the basics. Thanks!
Best video on internet to learn astro photography. I have been looking for the knowledge, but seems people don't want to share the actual key knowledge, they only share the top layer only. But you Glenn, marvelous. Love you buddy.
great video, you teaching style has a dad-vibe to it, but in the best way possible. the refocusing part was great advice, you win some you lose some :) looking forward to checking out all your content
so inspiring wow
Here's a tip if you're using a longer lens to capture "smaller" objects like nebulae or star clusters (ie. 85mm or longer), get someone to 3D print you a Bahtinov mask as a focusing aid. Saves you from the headache of trial and error. Hard to explain how to use it in text but there are hundreds of guides online. Unfortunately it doesn't work well with wider lenses so you're stuck with the twist the focus ring until it's small enough method mentioned.
Great video. Very comprehensive! Glad you touched on focus, my biggest challenge.
Great video Glenn, your voice is so calm and soothing too. I'm ready to get out there!😎
Many thanks. I have never considered setting the ISO that high.
Just watched your astro video and had a play on my new sony a6700 and holy!!! So excited and I'm a beginner. I might be hooked on astro photography now😅 Thank you!
