    Alright, looks like I forgot to mention two things:
    - I did not add flat frames when I was explaining which images I need (and what flat frames are)
    - and exif for star glow image: ISO 1000, f2, 15 seconds :D

    Outstanding image, Matej - I think that’s the first deepscape with the heart and soul that I’ve seen. The composition with the church is just 👌.
    Hope you’re continuing to recover, and it was awesome to see another video from you.

    The Heart Nebula is one of my favorite deep-sky objects. That's a beautiful composition, with the church in the foreground and the mountains behind it. I have not seen many images of it with a landscape in the foregound. As for star glow filters, I have several different diffusion filters and have been eager to test how they perform with stars, but the weather hasn't cooperated so far.

    • @matej.mlakar
      @matej.mlakar  15 днів тому

      Thank you, Tim! I think it is because that target can be quite high for some and it can be a challenge to find a suitable landscape to go along with it.
      I was looking at a few (Tiffen, Kase, etc...), and someone was selling Kenko for 30€, which was quite cheap. It is a good filter - Alan Dyer made a review comparing it to Alyn's and Tiffen's. Hope you will make a vlog about that too. I dont think there is a single star glow comparison video out there.

    Always a good night when Matej releases a new video! Great planning, great adventure and great result! I think the video is also really well put together mate. I hope the injury gets better soon also. And oh, what lens adapter are you using for the Samyang? I really need that lens back for Nikon now I've sold the Canon one a while ago!

    • @matej.mlakar
      @matej.mlakar  16 днів тому +1

      Jeroen, my friend, thank you so much! Happy to hear you enjoyed it. I use the Nikon F version. It is a great lens. I mean, I have Tamron G2 70-200mm as well, but Samyang is much more compact and faster.

    Great to see a video from you again, and that final image is beautiful! And about why so many of your vlogs are about that same mountain? Let me tell you, if I had a mountain like that close to me - ALL of my vlogs would be from there 😂

    What's the purpose of that RGB step and shooting the tablet?

    • @matej.mlakar
      @matej.mlakar  16 днів тому +1

      Yeah, I forgot to explain that. Shooting the tablet is for taking "flat frames". Flat frames are used to correct images for unwanted brightness changes across the the image, such as vignetting and it also removes any dust spots on lens or camera sensor, which would be normally visible on the images.

    Nice video man! Are you shooting only flats or also darks?

    • @matej.mlakar
      @matej.mlakar  16 днів тому +1

      Hey, thanks a lot! I shoot only flats and even that I do it only when I'm doing "DSO" or stacking. When I'm shooting panos, where I have single image per panel, I skip flats.
