    try stacking pics man with a lot of shots

    Lien the video but you should really be using an image stacking software like deepsky stacker or registack. The will create the best picture by reducing noise and focusing better by using a lot of similar pictures.

    if you shoot at minimum focal length like 20 or 60 then you can increase the shutter speed to 10 seconds. camera will capture more light. any how your pictures with 1.5 seconds is still impressive. keep making astro videos. i am your new fan.

    Nice introduction on how to take your first shots . I have never done this , so the basics helped me a lot - thank you !
    What s/w did you use to edit the images ? Also , what s/w is used to stack the pictures ?
    Is there a s/w that combines image editing and stacking ?
    Thanks 🙏

      Photoshop and autostakkert! Or Deep sky stacker or Sequator

    I'm also keen to photograph the Andromeda Galaxy without a star tracker. But Ive got an extra challenge. I'll be shooting it from the southern hemisphere! There is a certain time of year where it is visible here in Australia very briefly but it will be extremely close to the horizon so the clarity won't be great. I'll see what I can capture with an old manual focus 135mm f2.5 lens on M4/3.

    Good vid, but if you stack like let's say 400 images and even dark frames, you can get a way better shot dude.

      For sure, its very hard to stack images of that amount without using a star tracker. It's next to impossible to manually track with just a lens and tripod

      @@CharlieWoodwardMedia I've done it and I know alot of other people do it as well, you use a software called deep sky stacker to stack th images, it will auto align them so you don't have to mess around in Photoshop. It works well, but you do need alot of images to make it work as I mentioned

      @@none-id3lj I was doing that two nights ago here in the southern hemisphere - shooting without a star tracker. I took over 400 photos of the southern cross and coalsack nebula (within the same frame with a 50mm f1.8 lens.) I readjusted my composition after every few shots. I made sure to capture calibration frames as well. I haven't tried stacking yet but it will be interesting to see what it can do to enhance the final image. Though I was quite happy with the amount of detail I could see in just one single untracked exposure.

      @@ramarjun42 You will only get star trails if you leave the shutter open too long. You can take as many photos as you want with shorter shutter speeds and not get star trails. Though you would need to readjust your composition after every few shots so that the stars you're shooting don't move out of the frame.

      You could get a mirrorless camera instead. There are plenty of mirrorless cameras which have interchangeable lenses like the Panasonic M4/3 system. I would choose Panasonic over Olympus if you want to get into M4/3 because at least one of the Olympus cameras (the OM5) doesn't record any colour information from certain astro subjects. Something I found out today.
