I wish you were my neighbor. I would be in the backyard waiting for you every evening. It would be neat to learn how to use this astrophotography equipment.
hello, very nice video. the only thing i'm having trouble with, is how you put the camera in manual focus mode? it's at 5:11 , but you did not show what button you pressed. i might be dumb here lol. thanks for the informative video :)
Ensure that the rotating switch with MF..AF printed above it is set to the "MF" position, then to enter manual focus mode press the bottom side of the rotary dial (just above the flower icon).
Nice tutorial! I've been trying to get clear shots of Venus for the past couple weeks. I managed to get it nice and clear using a ND400 filter the other night and was blown away by how sharp the crescent shape was. Thanks for the tutorial, I've subbed to the channel in hope to learn more. Cheers.
Interesting video my friend! Awesome and nice clips, Super nice watching your beautiful channel, Like the video. Keep up the good work, Thanks for sharing the good video. Nice and good content, BIG LIKE'👍💖
Amazing! Im researching the capabilities of the P1000 as I am thinking of getting one to get some cool footage for my channel. This video is mind blowing as to what it can do! Very impressed. thanks
Nice Video, thanks for making it. You got a fair bit of vibration despite the tripod/tracker being sound. I suspect the lens needs better support. The tripod socket looks to be too far back to counter full lens extension. Even a light breeze will cause movement. Which HDMI lead did you use to connect to the laptop? I guess you have "HDMI in" on the laptop and I understand that the P1000 has HDMI out, I guess an adaptor is required. I wont have access to a P1000 until next week, need to wait to familiarise myself with the camera.
Yeah, I do need to get some kind of bracket for the lens. There's no "official" solution, but other people have found brackets that fit. To connect via HDMI, you need either a micro-hdmi adaptor and a standard cable, or a hdmi cable with a micro plug on one end.
@@MovieVertigo Understood Thanks. I have a Kirk bracket made for my old Nikon 80-200 2.8, which I suspect will work for P1000. I will be able to check it after this weekend, so I will let you know.
@@MovieVertigo Hi there, i recently did a venus video on my channel through 1 of your replys to a person who commented on your video, i dont have a star tracker but i can do a video using my remote control for the p1000, might try another video now with abit more info you have supplied- might try 4k to see if i can get abit more clarity, thanks again.
Could someone tell me what kind of tripod and tripod head he is using? I would like to buy a sturdy and stable tripod and a precision adjusting head for it. Not sure where to go for advice. I tried to talk with a local camera shop about this topic. They don't seem to be interested.
@@TheAviationistKhizr Ah, I see where the confusion is now! Yes there is a 2XL in the video, but I was filming with a 4XL. I used my old 2XL to control the tracker so that I could film with my 4XL. Also, I hadn't realised they'd ported "night sight" to older phones. I thought it was a Pixel 4 only thing. Sorry for the misunderstanding!
The camera is connected to a USB power pack using a dummy battery adaptor. Because the adaptor doesn't report itself as a proper battery to the camera, the camera shows the plug symbol.
You can use anything that accepts an HDMI input. In the video I used a Surface tablet (which is running Windows 10) and a USB capture card (The red and black box you can see at 4:49).
I love the sounds of summer, cars, and dogs barking in the background.

Great work, king of p1000! :D

I'm glad you found the tutorial useful, and thank you for the sub!
Thanks for sharing, very informative:)
Hope people find it useful!
Movie Vertigo I certainly do! Do you intend to make a tutorial about the stacking procedure as well?
@@flo-plus I hadn't planned too, but I might do if I get time.
Great video, always nice to see step by step set ups 👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Hello can you please help me:
why in Movie mode I have only 3.6 digital Zoom and not 4 ??
I believe it's limited to 3.6x in 4K mode. See the specifications here...

very nice ,bonjour de France.
Très bien merci
Fancy! I did the same with my P900 and Omegon mount mini track 😄
What is your tracker?
It's a Skywatcher Star Adventurer Mini
Impressive young Skywalker.
Thank you
What is that exposure app on your phone!?
The app on the phone is controlling the tracking mount.
Excellent job, very informative, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!

@@shutterclick-6922 A tracker isn't absolutely necessary, but it does mean you don't have to keep adjusting the camera to keep Venus in frame.
@@MovieVertigo hi there, yes its a pain to try to keep it in the frame with out a star tracker , thanks for your replys , great channel.

I can't remember the *exact* model, but it's a Manfrotto tripod with a Manfrotto fluid video head.
Good work 💪🏽
Thank you!
Whick tracker is that, can you give me a link, please

@@MovieVertigo thank you!
Nice to see another astronomer using the Google pixel 2XL. The night mode is stellar. And I've heard astrophotography mode is being updated soon 👍
Did you mean 4XL?
@@MovieVertigo Oh. It looked like a 2XL in the video 🤷
@@TheAviationistKhizr Ah, I see where the confusion is now! Yes there is a 2XL in the video, but I was filming with a 4XL. I used my old 2XL to control the tracker so that I could film with my 4XL.

@@MovieVertigo ahh that makes sense now
Nice bird songs.
Ws the camera plugged into a power let? (there's a plug symbol next to ISO)
The camera is connected to a USB power pack using a dummy battery adaptor. Because the adaptor doesn't report itself as a proper battery to the camera, the camera shows the plug symbol.
Very cool 👍
Amazing! Thanks for tutorial.
Thanks! I'm glad people are finding it interesting.
what brand is the tracker?
Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Mini
i think you can make it more sharp by stacking the photos and also using gigapixel like software to increase the pixels
Indeed you can. I have a stacked image of Venus at the end of one of my other videos... ua-cam.com/video/MmcmWv7vnDY/v-deo.html

thanks
Can you connect Nikon p1000 to a tablet and use it as a monitor?
You can use anything that accepts an HDMI input. In the video I used a Surface tablet (which is running Windows 10) and a USB capture card (The red and black box you can see at 4:49).
Hello how are you ? Please what is the name of the skywatcher star tracker ? Thx a lot
It's a Skywatcher Star Adventurer Mini
@@MovieVertigo thx a lot . Im a new follower . Nice vidéos 👍
Fascinating, thank you! 👍
My pleasure!

Can you do SpaceX starlink train close up
I will try when it's clear again. At the moment the UK weather has turned quite grotty!
