Not only does the moon come up later after a new mom, the milky way is coming up earlier each night in the first half of the year putting a little more separation between when the core is visible and when the moon comes up. That's why June has so many nights that you can shoot.
Nailed it! The way the Milky Way moves across our night sky thanks to our rotation we end up with the entire nights of summer possible to find the Milky Way core! What sucks is that those are mostly our SHORTEST NIGHTS! So can you imagine how great the Southern Hemisphere has it with an ENTIRE LONG WINTER NIGHT of seeing the Milky Way Core!! The only drawback is that it spends hours of the night straight up above them! I have not seen it yet but I can't wait to go and see it from that perspective! Just zero possibility of a foreground until you wait for earlier in the morning. But still amazingly long hours of visible Milky Way in the southern hemisphere! :D Thanks for watching, Carl! -Aaron
@@PhotogAdventures I watch Richard Tatti's channel a lot to learn how to light paint and stack my images. He's in Australia so I get to see a lot of their view from him. I went out last night and light painted a couple of trees below the dam out a local lake. I just got it edited about 2 hours ago. I should have done a long exposure for the ambient light for the trees behind it though. I'm still working on my technique and workflow. It's hard to remember everything you need to do.
Been working around the moon pretty well, but it's pretty difficult to work around light pollution. I need to plan ahead and drive probably 2 hours to get to low light pollution, and while I can still shoot at my house it's about Bortle 4-5 so contrast is super low, even with stacking. Looking forward to the end of June, I have a short trip in the Boundary Waters of Minnesota planned. I went there last summer as well, and the skies were absolutely gorgeous.
Oh man yeah, Light Pollution is a greater challenge when you consider the moon is reliably able to go away each month. Whether you are near a great Dark Sky is a whole extra battle! :D I have never been up in that area but going to add Boundary Waters of Minnesota to my list of a place to try in the future when I get up in that region someday! Let me know how your Milky Way goes! :D -Aaron
Hi Aaron. I'm new to astrophotography and your videos were very helpful before my first trip. I think I took some good photos lol but it would be helpful to get some feedback and tips as what post processing is needed. Is there an active forum that you can recommend? Noticed u haven't posted for a few months - hope you're well!
Heya! Yeah it has been tough to balance getting new videos out since June. All of July, August and September were busy with workshops and conferences and I didn’t make the time. But I am well just been busy. 😃 I definitely recommend joining us at MilkyWayPhotographersGuild.com and then if you want to learn my entry level post processing tips, you can check out these two videos that I will link in comments below. Thanks for your kind words and for watching! I am back from this workshop next week. And I will be doing my best to catch up on missed weeks of new content! 😃 -Aaron
