You are going too fast in explaining and switching

Hi Mark, what is the level, or what is the Photoshop version do you use here? Do I need to download it right from my computer? What is the name of the version that you use here? Please give as much info as you can. What do I type to find it? Thank you so much

It’s a 300 rule if you have a crop sensor camera

On APS-C Sensors it‘s better to use the 300 Rule because of the crop factor of 1.6 or 1.5, depending on camera brand… On my Canon, when using the 500 Rule with my 16mm, I get first signs of star trails.

Does the milky way only look as massive as that when seen from America? I can just about shoot it in England but it is always a long faint strip with none of those colours

The biggest tip - shot in really dark places or southern hemisphere....

The 500 rule works only with full frame sensors. With APS-C sensors you have to divide the result by the crop factor to get the correct number of sec. Since most entry DSLR comes with an APS-C sensor it would be nice to specify it

Thanks man

I guess @samulyoung account is no more

cheers dude!! great!

As an aspiring astrophotographer this video is so helpful. Thank you! I have a Sony A7iii and was considering getting it astromodified. What would you recommend? I have full spectrum or Ha mods to consider, which is "better" for milky way shots?

I followed your video to a tee and could not get LR to do what you did. You must not have explained some things. When I selected the mask overlay and tried to add contrast as well as paint more darks on the milky way I had white brush marks. Just wish there was more detail and the video wasn't so fast. As I want to know how to do this stuff but can not figure it out watching your videos. Thanks for trying though.

Very quick and effective tutorial!

Brilliant tutorial. Thanks very much.

New subscriber here....
Btw what's the intro song..... Please tell me

Wait. When does it stop being a photo? When you added the red that became too much no? It's no longer an improvement on the original but an image that doesn't exist.

The before photo still blows my mind. Even with longer exposures I rarely see people getting raw images like that

Great tutorial! There must have been an update which changed the “masking” interface because I don’t see it in LR 2020. I’d like to try the technique you used by holding down the “alt” key and sliding the “masking” bar but I can’t figure out how. Do you know where it may be hidden?

i looooooved this tutorial. 2 weeks ago was the first attempt ever to shoot a nightsky and to try to get the milky way. your tutorial brought so much out of my picture i was blown away. thank you

were these phots one-shot a stacked image?

Is there an iOS app that makes all these things automatically or at least let you do it without going through a pc

Awesome vid! Thanks for keeping it simple. Do you do all of these adjustments before photo-stacking as well? or is this only for a non-stacked image

This is not an astro photography. This is a night landscape one.

With that kind of colorizing - it is not real astrophotography.

Thanks for this , all the tutorials I've watched previously, the image they were starting with was more like what I want to end up with, the first picture you edited are what my milky way shots generally look like so this video has been the most helpful.

Just seen this. Hands down the best tutorial video. Concise, to the point and with techniques not shown by anyone else I have found. Top work! Thanks

This was really useful - thanks very much.

fantastic

Unreal 🔥

So cool

Thank you so much! I have just started to learn about astrophotography! this is perfect for editing!

Goof, nice, thanks, God Bless

Great video 👊

Such an amazing tutorial!!

So essentially, photos are nothing more than lies. That’s dumb. But yeah it does make your pics look way better than your camera takes them.

Great, thanks for that tutorial !

What is the name of that editing program?

Amazing, I learned so many tools! Thanks man

Really not a fan of the first edit

Great, which software you used for Milkyway editing

1) Add contrast
2) Paint over the already darker zones
3) Add fake colors that weren't there in the first place
4) Find a cool picture of the Milky Way on Google, then add it on top of your image
5) You're done

Thanks for the tutorial;
Learning how to use your camera reduces or eliminates your need for software.
Film was the greatest learning curve ever.
