Hey Walt, hope you’re feeling better real soon and getting back at it. Just wanted to let you know shot my first Milky Way last night. Never really thought about Astro photography until I stumbled across your channel a couple months ago. Having recently retired I gifted myself a new R6 and the Rokinon 24 mm f1.4 thanks to your inspiration. I’m really excited to get back out there and get some more.

Great Tutorial Walt!! I use these steps for processing my images.

Hi, I have a similar setup with the same guider on my camera's L bracket. Do you find it hard to find a balance point with it throwing off the center of gravity? Are these imbalances too much for the skyguider? I'm worried about damaging the guider

I realize I'm a bit late to this party, but I found out that hooking up a mobile holder to a horse shoe adapter and sticking it on top of the camera (where the flash would go), booting up an app that shows up the start based on the phone's direction helps a ton with finding and identifying stars fast.

My 1000D can't even go beyond 1600 iso 😢

What time did you take this? I need to know haha

This video is amazing. I used PixInsight for the first time and was to do a decent editing using your tutorial! The only issue I faced is about the EZ Suite unavailability. I found an alternative - GHS stretch. Thanks a lot for the tutorial :)

Really great video! Great job!

Walt, love your videos. Been a fan for a few years now. This video has helped immensely. Thanks.

More comedy, not enough

Any experience with ZWO2600mc duo camera? Does the comet trail effect noted affect the guiding perfomance of the second image sensor of the duo?

Walt have you done a youtube on processing star clusters or globular clusters?

I would like to contact you and experience our astronomical optics products. Could you provide me with an email address?

I will follow this processing this Weekend. My only question if you can help me is: I did three sessions for the Orion. three different nights but with same settings on the camera. I took Darks, Flats, Bias, too in all nights. How should I deal with DeepSkyStacker? Do each night separately or all nights in one go? If I do them separately I will end up with 3 stacked photos. Should I stack them together? Thanks

I have been to Bisti several times. It is a wonderful place. I have learned to use my Garmin GPS to put in the coordinates to places I want to find. I go out in daylight and come back in the dark by following my outbound track. Also, there is a power plant in the distance when you are back in the flat area looking in the direction of the parking lot. Just walk towards the power plant lights in the distance.

I was learning so much from your video and enjoying your content a lot! While I'm still enjoying your video, I've been left with an inescapable quandary for which I may never receive an answer: if "getting the fastest exposure possible" is the primary objective from a technical stand point, then why on this our third rock from the sun are you setting ISO to 100? If it's too bright then simply increase the shutter speed, you were only at 1/60th in the context of the footage? Set ISO to 200, or if you have some real balls 800, and then set shutter speed to 1/600th instead? Am I missing something? Yes, I understand how ISOs work, but it's the 2020s guys. Noise has been fixable for a while now.

"With no clouds..." I had two nights last winter that weren't cloudy, but it was -34°C. My mount did not enjoy that

Nice video, informative. Have you ever thought about using Siril and Affinity for processing, instead of pay for software. Just asking from a cheap beginner perspective.

🎉great job,….thank you very much 😊

Great video. I live in NM. Your next purchase, if you don't already own one, should be a GPS unit. This will help you get to your compositions in Bisti and a lot of other great places. As I am sure you experienced, cell phones are unusable here in many places.

Can’t wait to use these techniques later this summer 🤙🏼

If it's fun AND science together, it's got be YOUR channel! 😁 It's one of the reasons I tune in often into your videos (or at least the RUclips floods me with). Didn't know you were in close by state.

Thanks Walt, excellent continuation video from the previous video, I really enjoyed this Milky Way editing class. Thanks Walt and continuation of Clear Skies

Such videos are a treasure for my personal development in Astro, thank you

Great video as usual. It would be really interesting to see something similar but applied to a more complex foreground, such as a series of tree silhouettes that usually drive me crazy.Ciao ciao.

And another question, do you think using a selection tool instead dodge/burn (white/black) would have been easier to merge two images together or more complicated? What's your experience?

Great video mate! A question, when you combined the two images, it appears that a lot of stars around Milky Way gone purple/pink again and a lot more of them like before the reduction, do you reckon?

Thanks for this video! It’s the best tutorial that I’ve found on Milky Way photography editing.

Great video Walt. Nice to learn about the sky replacement tool and fine tuning masks using 'overlay' blend - very useful. The PS AI denoise function is very good and will probably discourage me from taking too many single exposures!!!

Awesome video as always !

Great video that I will use in the future! Thanks for sharing this 👌

Will it take daytime time-lapse videos? Asking for a friend.

Thank you Walt, I was having trouble with some of my sky replacement, this has really helped. Thank you again for an awesome tutorial.

Thanks Walt - great tutorial without using the extra add-on software - this is ideal

Great video, thankyou 🎉 Do you prefer PS to Lightroom for this job? Regards, Cam

Walt Fantastic update and this help a great deal. 🔭 Has saved me many hours trying to figure out PI.

Hey Walt - great video. Suggest downloading a walking/tracking app on your phone. You don't need a cell signal as most support offline maps. If nothing else, you can then leave breadcrumbs on the app so you can find your way back - or you can retrace your steps if you found a good spot. We use this type of thing in Australia for our walks/adventures, where you can't risk getting lost out in the bush.

Dude, you are a gem! Best tutorial videos regarding astrophotography.

Awesome video!

Also, i have a cellphone, android, that came with pro controls AND takes imafes in RAW format. Can you take longer exposures than the preset times (8,15, 25 seconds, etc)? Would you still need calibration frames? How do you figure out the FL and Aperture for a cellphone camera?

Hey walt, i found a 135mm F2.8 manual lens on Temu. It claims to have 2 ED glass elements. How can i verify that?

Thanks Walt. Watching your videos is helping pass time as i lay in this stupid hospital

👍🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

Thanks for sharing your expert knowledge Walt. I have been curious about using LRC Denoise for Milky Way. Can denoise substitute for stacking say 10 Milky Way images for noise reduction? I use the same method you did in the video for star reduction and like it.

Nice video, way too cool.

Brilliant Video I can now proceed carefully with instead of taking 1 image I can now take a Pic of Foreground I can go to take a Milky Way and then Merge >> I have the Equipment >> Z8 and Nikon 20mm f1.8 S but at 73 Computers scare me .. but this Video gives me confidence>> from South Africa

Thank you, out standing vid, many thanks for sharing your knowledge.
