Wwau .. beautiful video ... if I may ask you ... in this video you add the astronomik h-alpha filter to the already modified SLR Sony or is it normal SLR and add the filter? What's happen of I use the h-alpha filter on a normal reflex? Thanks in Advance ..
I saved this video to watch later as I am learning astrophotography. I have just watched it and I am keeping it for future reference as it's such a useful video. However I am deeply sddened to learn from you Alyn has passed away, that's so sad. The world is a brighter place for his passed on knowledge through YT. :)
Great shots Alyn. I once heard from an Air B&B owner after we rented a couple of nights to shoot and showed her the images. She said, "I had no idea that all that stuff was up there". Keep bringing us "ALL THAT STUFF" and helping expand astrophotography the way you do.
Excellent shots! I always wondered how a wide field shot would look with narrowband imaging. Taking Flat frames is a life saver when you realize your sensor / glass Is just a mess
Alyn "join me on this adventure into".... Me *lacing up my boots "too right I will lad, bare with me a minute as I'm too fat to fasten both laces without a few quick breaths" Proceeds to watch in awe
Amazing!👏👏👏 So this reminds us once again that there's so much more stuff in the night sky we can't see! Speaking of the final stacked image, I think most of the people can understand and appreciate the image more than a star trail one!😊 Since my friends always ask me what is that when I upload a star trail image!😂
They are cool AND amazing! Well done Alyn. I have an H-alpha 12nm but haven't used it yet. It is supposed to clear tonight, so your video and prompted me to give it a shot. Thanks.
Amazing as always, and Its your videos that have really got me hooked on Astro photography. It’s all very new to me at the moment, but I’ve genuinely fallen in love with the night sky. So a huge thank you is owed, for inspiring me to try something different...👍
This was the first video I've watched of yours and I was very impressed. I'm a visual observer with aspirations of starting astrophotography. In that regard your videos are excellent, you are calm, clear, and do a great job of articulating the excitement and anticipation of astrophotography! You also explain the technical aspects of each step of the process very well, even someone like myself who understands astronomy and has no personal astrophotography experience. I think this video was great and I enjoy seeing these objects under different filters, thank you!
I think to people that know what's actually possible with astro images it adds another dimension. But to photographers that don't usually shoot astro they tend to dismiss it as something that's not natural because we can't see it with the naked eye. It's usually landscape photographer's that have problems with it. But I ask them this "do you see the effects of a 10 stop filter?" That kind of gets the cogs moving a little.
If it was not for photographers like yourself, aspiring photographers like myself wouldn’t even know what to imagine when looking at the night sky. You have truly inspired me and helped me picture that perfect night sky.
Oh Alyn, it's beautiful - love the technique and the results! Bringing out the secret smiley face in the sky :) Now I kinda want a setup like this, my poor bank account .....
I love these images. I find it fascinating that there are so many different ways to enjoy the night sky. Naked eye, binoculars, camera, smart phone, and different filters. My telescope arrives soon, i'm hoping to enjoy some clear skies.
I think you can get the same result using an L-enhance filter if you discard the G/B channels. The L-enhance is 12nm HA (more like 10nm), but you can get a RBG image out of it that's not too far off from natural color if it's processed right. I've messed around with mine a little, but have never really used it strictly as an HA filter to add data to an existing image. The Horsehead nebula picture I took with the L-enhance filter in Bortle 6 looks very similar to yours after adding HA data to the RGB. I think the main difference is mostly the star color, but its not too different after using star extraction and then processing the stars and nebula separately.
Those photos turned out great especially like the Nightscape with the Orion Nebula. I would be really interested in seeing a similar photo but taken with just a full spectrum camera no filters.
Alyn - refreshing to hear that someone with your skills still considers themselves on a learning curve - a lesson for us all. Great images and another superb video
i think the h alpha is the most important step you can do in astrophotography. you go another level with it. go shoot the cygnus area, ngc 7000 and around sadr, deneb and enjoy the show
@@tykingcrystal864 the veil nebula is an easy target, you can have great result with any camera but it s even better with an h alpha ( an a O3 filter )
Your widefield is glorious Alyn! I understand your thoughts about what people think who don't know much about astronomy, but the photos are so amazing and so eye-opening that I think they are as inspiring as seeing SpaceX launch their rockets. The point is to make people curious and interested to find out more. In that respect your photos are both beautiful and inspiring. Keep it up man!
Alyn, as the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.... that being said, for me I like to stay as much as possible closer to what we "could" see, and a subtle integration of HA+RGB so the pink/redish doesn't take over the image... but then again, that is just me.
Have you tried just the Ha filter with a non modified camera to see the results? You tried use any other filters and combine all the images with colors
Hi Alan, I find your images simply super cool and very original. Thans à lott , wish I was already at your stage. Thanks and greetings from Belgium. Rudy.
Thanks for this one Alyn from another brit doing Astrophotography in Turkey. I'm near Izmir, in Cesme and I hear what you're saying about getting the equipment and paying the taxes on incoming stuff. Love your videos and your clear explanations, been quite helpful to me trying to progress after nearly eleven months in the hobby.
Your last remark about how these pictures would look to people who don’t know anything about astrophotography was spot on. This summer I shot my first star trails images and when I shared it with family and friends most of them did not know what they were looking at. I had to explain to them what the pictures were about and how they were captured in order to understand what they were looking at.
As if I didn’t want an astro-modified camera enough as it was!!! Personally, I love the extra Ha... I’m always so impressed (and slightly envious) when I see nightscapes including it with a cool foreground. Looking forward to some more of these images from you now!
Have you taken a look at lens performance with this kind of clip in filter? Things like aberrations and sharpness? It will probably be pretty close, but by putting something in between the lens and sensor I'd expect some kind of additional refraction. You would have to refocus, but it would be interesting to see a delta between with and without the filter.
Thanks! All clip-in filters, or any filter placed between the lens and sensor will shift the focus point inward. The lens will now focus sharpest on stars with it set well inside infinity, perhaps at 6 m or thereabouts. That changes the optical performance of the lens, usually for the worse. Lens aberrations are designed to be at a minimum with the lens at true infinity. But with the focus shift introduced by the filter the aberrations blow up, so corners look awful. Some third party lens adapters can do the same thing - adapted lenses can perform poorly compared to when they are mounted natively, at least with some third party adapters. In either case - filter or lens adapter - the severity of the aberrations varies with the lens and its design, but is usually worse the wider the lens and steeper the light cone. Clip-ins work fine on telephotos and telescopes with narrower light cones. I saw this demonstrated well in a filter test Peter Zelinka did a couple of years ago. The problem isn’t the filter itself but where it is placed and how it changes lens performance. Filters over the front of lenses make no difference to focal position and lens performance. But that’s not practical / affordable for narrowband filters.
I have a full spectrum X-E1 which I use for infrared photography. I'd love to give this a try, but I think I need a budget hydrogen alpha filter that's half decent because that's quite expensive.
Beautiful Alyn, I am building a rig of my own in the form of a 61mm or 80 mm APO and cant wait to attempt these as well with a Camera! I have a 8 inch SCT for planetary but this is a whole new ball game! Very impressed with the HA Filter with the moon, makes life alot better! Thanks!
Alyn: Nice work adding Ha to your repertoire... I noted you mounting this filter on your modified A7iii - are you no longer using the modified A7Sii, which I assume has a high ISO noise advantage over the A7iii? If so, why?? Thx
You need to Have an astro Modified camera to use one of these filters. If its not, the cameras stock filters just blocks the Ha wavelengths which you are trying to capture. Hope that helps
Very good photos. I find the wide field one, with those red clouds of nebulosity, pretty amazing. They are not strange to my eyes. This is how we would see space if our eyes were more sensitive. Well done!
Hi Alyn, I always enjoy your intro. What is the name of the piece of music used? Thanks for vids :) ps - the wide field RGB+HaRGB images I feel would have a limited appeal to those who have some understanding of what they are seeing or at least are curious as to what they are seeing. I think the average punter on the street would find them strange. That said next I have said punters in my company I'll show them your image and see if I can get some uninfluenced opinions.
Do you have a video on how to process a your final stacked shot in photoshop? My understanding is that your shot will be red using a regular DSLR with the filter.
My first thought at that last image was "Damn that's pretty, but it would frustrate me having people not knowing the techniques/astro side of things asking about the weird red lens flares or something". That being said, I love the shots and the work with the filter! Looking forward to more!
That’s cool. When you say RGB is that 3 individual color filers? Then what kind of software are you using to overlay the pictures? I have a P1000, but was considering doing Astro Photography & full spec converting. I have the h-alpha and just turns everything magenta/red. I wanted to see solar flares live. It’s surprising way more complex than I thought to do this. Anyways. Your video was really great man and those shots are on another level. Looks completely professional & polished. Looking forward to seeing more of your work/hobby.
This is really cool stuff! Thanks for explaining all these so clearly. 1 question, can you do time lapse videos with this? I'm guessing no. That last image looks really cool but it's a composite with the sky filter, and the ground un-filtered, isn't it?
You could do timelpases yeah but they'd either be red or black and white. And yes, I added the Ha images to some normal images (without the filter). And yes the foreground is also without the Ha data
You Astro-modded your A7III? I have it too and want to mod it, but I’m not sure how well it can be used for regular photography and mainly video. Shooting in raw should make it easy to color correct afterwards as I do normally, but it’s the video I’m worried about.. could it be corrected with a picture profile or something? Love the video!
Hi Alyn, To be able to capture Hydrogen Alpha color , We can not just install this filter in to my ordinary a7III camera without Astro Mod , right? Thanks for a very good video.
Brilliant video Alyn! Full Moon is always a challenge (unless you are looking at the Moon) and you did a great job! Barnard's Loop is a big WOW!!. That's one expensive mirror, er, filter....
you can use a plug-in called star net to remove the stars from your hydrogen alpha images and it will make blending your photos much easier, better on star color too as Ha degrades the star color a bit. still great image
You must work so much harder than me. I have Bortles 3 to 4 and a 10 acre hay meadow on flat ground with no livestock in the way. Thanks for the information about and the demonstration of the filter.
So know there are probably hours of deeper research i could do but I just have one questions could you use this H alpha filter on a non mod'ed a7r iv camera with decent results still? I'm not that great or big on wanting to mod my camera as i only have the 1 and don't really want to have a dedicated camera for astro. But I really do like the idea of the photo stacking and adding the unseen color spectrums to the final photo. Thanks in advance.
I use Sony A7III for work. But I'm insterested to put clip-in filters like this in front of the sensor. Is sure for the camera and sensor use this frequently?
Night scape images are always cool to see, and are much more accessible for the average Joe to replicate. I have seen a couple of these recently, and I love them. I think they will start to be done even more because they add perspective to the size of the things astrophotoraphers shoot. For example when you tell someone the Andromida galaxy is 6 times the size of the full moon people are like yeah ok and their eyes glaze over. Show them a picture comparing the 2 and watch their jaw hit the floor.
But what if I want to capture the hydrogen portion of the visible spectrum for a deep sky object that has been redshifted to a much longer wavelength than the standard non-redshifted wavelength of hydrogen alpha? How do I capture that?

Hey Alyn, love to see how you improve - for aligning Ha and RGB have a look at Astro Pixel Prozessor! It also works great on Wideangles ...
Thanks Alyn. I find your images not only superbe but also very original. Great stuff. Get some rest. Greetings from Belgium. RUDY.
Oh Alyn, it's beautiful - love the technique and the results! Bringing out the secret smiley face in the sky :) Now I kinda want a setup like this, my poor bank account .....
Definitely looking great. I would love little bit more of the star light, maybe starglow filter too.😃
AMAZING,ALyn!!! I have learned so much from you!!! Thank you....
Utterly beautiful and astonishing, particularly when used with Landscape. Well done! Superb work.
Lovely shots and superb wide angle! I just wish the sky was that clear back in Wales ☹️

I have just moved over to cooled mono and H alpha is just amazing ! The amount of detail is just phenomenal!
Nice work Alyn. Bought the CLS clip in filter for my D850 but have only tested once so far from the back garden.
Thanks for this vlog Alyn - really useful and the images were just mind blowing!
They're extremely cool images. Nuff said!!! I saw a little clip of my home town Port Talbot from Mynydd Dinas towards the start of the video! Cool

Is it best to Astro-modify your camera or just go with one of these filters? There's not a lot of difference in cost.

I wish they had one for a Nikon D610, every time I find one for a full frame Nikon, the D610 is not listed in the list of compatible models.
I really love the wide angle shot. It makes you think about how little we actually see from the universe that is surrounding us.
So could you use the HA filter without an astro mod camera, or can you only use them on a converted camera? Shot look amazing.
Beautiful shots of the horsehead
I really like the wide angle shots better than the too-often-seen telephoto images. Nice work.

Needs to be Astro mod
Brilliant video Alyn! Full Moon is always a challenge (unless you are looking at the Moon) and you did a great job! Barnard's Loop is a big WOW!!. That's one expensive mirror, er, filter....
you can use a plug-in called star net to remove the stars from your hydrogen alpha images and it will make blending your photos much easier, better on star color too as Ha degrades the star color a bit. still great image
Super cool , great result to see the size of objects
Nice. When you say rgb image on your astro modified camera did you just shoot without a filter or used a luminance filter?
WoW 🤩... as always! You’re good, wry good. Awesome pictures
The beauty of the sky and the objects in it are always a pleasure to watch...
⭐⭐⭐ 👍❤
Absolutely awesome picture Alyn, love it.
Bringing out detail that the eye cannot see is amazing
Great final image! I wonder if you have tried using a hi-pass filter in PS when you processed that image. Have you?
You must work so much harder than me. I have Bortles 3 to 4 and a 10 acre hay meadow on flat ground with no livestock in the way.
Thanks for the information about and the demonstration of the filter.
the last image is awesome
So know there are probably hours of deeper research i could do but I just have one questions could you use this H alpha filter on a non mod'ed a7r iv camera with decent results still?

But I really do like the idea of the photo stacking and adding the unseen color spectrums to the final photo. Thanks in advance.
Alyn, have you done much astrophotography above the arctic circle?
I use Sony A7III for work. But I'm insterested to put clip-in filters like this in front of the sensor. Is sure for the camera and sensor use this frequently?
Alyn, would the filters add any additional benefits if there is no light pollution?
So it's worth while ? I use a zwo broadband and filter draw on a DSLR and 72 ed skywatcher
Great Video as Always !! 🔭✨🌌

Sulfur maybe
Would it be worthwhile using a HA filter without a modified camera? I’m currently using the A7III.
