High-Quality Astrophotography With Basic Camera Equipment
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 бер 2020
- This is my favorite tip for star photography, both wide angle (with a foreground) and for deep-sky astrophotography! It's called image stacking. There's no better way to stretch the limits of what your camera can do. Even if you have basic entry-level equipment.
Here are my software recommendations. I'm not getting any kickbacks on these (heck 3 of the 4 are free), they're just what I recommend.
When you have no foreground:
- Lynkeos (Mac). It's free, works great. The only issue is that you may need to align the photos yourself (only roughly) before loading them into the software, by batch cropping them in Lightroom or Photoshop. lynkeos.sourceforge.io
- DeepSkyStacker (Windows). Freeware, and amazing at what it does. Highly recommended. deepskystacker.free.fr/english...
When you have foreground elements:
- Starry Landscape Stacker (Mac). It's not free (costs $40) but it works well, and there is no free alternative at the moment for Mac users that I've been able to find. It's what I used for the wide angle Milky Way photo in this tutorial. sites.google.com/site/starryl...
- Sequator (Windows). Free, gets excellent reviews. sites.google.com/site/sequato...
If you have any questions about star photography, let me know below and I'll do what I can to answer!

Ugh wish you posted this yesterday before i stood out side for 2hrs in the cold taking grainy star pictures.
Great job Spencer, as per usual. I absolutely love astrophotography. I'm new at it but you can get really stunning shots pretty early on if you watch people like yourself and learn how.
Very straightforward and easy to understand -- well done!
Very helpful , planing to night photography in the near future . Saved to favourites 👍.
If I could bow to you, I would. THANK YOU, for answering a question I have been asking, but haven't gotten an answer to. I was going to get a telephoto lens that had 5.6 stop, but I have been told 4 or 3.5 is preferable. But I have often wondered if I could just stack more photos to make up for the loss of light with the F-stop being smaller. Thank you for covering that.
Thanks for your guidance.🔥🔥
Fantastic! Génial! Thanks Spencer!
You’re an excellent teacher.
Hi Spencer - fantastic tutorial. You are a very gifted presenter / lecturer - amazing work! Best wishes from Cambridge, UK
damn i love listening to you. super nice explanation, good voice, good job my dude
I’m really new to astrophotography . I have gotten some really good 30 second exposures with my Rebel T6 equipped with a 14mm Rokinon lens. I’m wanting to venture into getting a star tracker equipped telescope and a zwo camera for astrophotography specifically.
awesome video!
Hey. Great job. One question. What lens have you used for the orion nebula shot? At what mm? Thanks.
Thank you Spencer for sharing your amazing expertise. Recently I shot Milky Way. I could take 15-20 exposures of 10 sec long with 13 mm f1.8 lens on my Fuji XT4 camera using intervalometer. I want to use deep sky stacker. But it shows light files, dark files, flat files, offset /bias files in my picture when I uploaded I don’t see all these types except light files. Is there anything I need to do about this? Please make a video on deep sky stacker. Thank you 🙏🏽
Great info
I am new in this field.I want to explore Astrophotography.Please suggest me basic equipments requires for deep sky,planets photography.
Great video! Greetings from Greece, Subsribed.
in your great tuto at
Great video, thanks for putting it out! I haven't searched your channel to see if you have a video on the upcoming Jupiter Saturn alignment on Dec 21, but if you were going to shoot the upcoming Jupiter and Saturn alignment, would you use the short focal length lens 3.5 F or longer one with higher F, such as a 100-44mm with a F of 5-6.3? I don't mind taking lots of pictures or even manually keeping it in the field of view in order to get a better shot of the planets. I am in South Florida so the temperature won't be a factor. Although it is 2020 so I shouldn't say it won't be a factor! LOL Thanks, Bill
