Brilliant work again Jeroen. I love how you include so many other photographers in your adventures out under the stars .. and they all get great results. I really loved the first composition and location featuring Orion. Well done boys.
Thanks for watching and commenting again Richard! For me it makes the hobby much more fun to regularly shoot with friends also. I'm lucky to have those guys around.
Fantastische foto's Jeroen! zelf had ik een dikke faal afgelopen donderdag , bij het plaatsen van de lenswarmer alles out-of-focus... en niet goed gecontroleerd.
Nice shots! I want to go back to the desert in April to shoot Orion constellation, Rho Ophiuchi and the milky way. I got two canon 6Ds now so I can take two different shots at the same time :)
Fantastic, Jeroen. Great locations and beautiful shots. I always love the tempo of your videos - they really bring out the joy of being out there with friends 👍
Thank you Paul! I always try to get the 'flow' going in the video edit :-). Looking forward to your next adventure also! You have something in the making?
@@StarScaperPhotoyep, I’ve got one I’m currently editing and 3 others in the pipes too. So hopefully one every fortnight from this Friday for a couple of months.
What a stunning shots..One day i will take pictures like this 😍 One last thing the music you used in your videos is amazing especially in the last of this video can you tell me what this music ?
Thanks! Sometimes I aim for tue brightest thing in the sky, for example Jupiter and on a high iso it just about shines through. In this case I wanted to leave my composition so I just made some testshots and adjusted the focus bit by but between them until I was happy.
Nice work Guys! LOL, I complain more about clouds than anything, my wife says! I shoot nightscape from SoCal and Maui, and I cracked-up at the "revenge" idea! Over here, we call them "Skunk Trips". Loved that red in that final, that astro-modify, did you do that yourself to the sensor? Or is that a filter? Similar to the Nikon D810a ? I just subscribed. Keep up the fun stuff!
Thanks so much and welcome to the channel! SoCal, jaelous! I got various books of a photographer called Troy Paiva who shoots and lightpaints the abandoned stuff around that area. My dream is to learn and combine that sometime with nightscape photography. And ok then, Skunk Trips it is haha! The mod I let someone else do. It is indeed basically removing the infrared blocking filter and putting back a new filter which blocks the IR but passes the visible/regular light + Hydrogen Alpha light from nebulae. In this case I also used an ha clip in filter to give that an extra boost.
@@StarScaperPhoto Ah ha! Well, it sure makes the red show up and I can drive myself to tears in Post trying to do that in Photoshop/Lightroom! I seen Paiva's stuff he does find some great foregrounds! I tell people Nightscape Photography has only 3 requirements. 1st- Set the Camera. 2nd- Know you will stub toes and bump your head in the dark. 3- Don't scream and wake up people WHEN you do! Otherwise, the real work is in Post! LOL! Glad to meet you!!
Jeroen another great adventure video! May I ask a question about this H Alpha Filter stuff. Why does the filter have to be attached in front of the sensor? It seems quite dangerous fiddling around so close to the sensor. Why arent there filters for the Lense. I dont see much of a difference. Other Filter like UV influence also certain bandwiths, but there it is ok to put the filter in front of the lense * head scratch Greetings
Thanks! Mostly because they are very expensive to make. This small thing costs over 300 euro's already. There are version available though to put in front of the lens. I have no experience in their quality however.
You know what? I have actually been thinking about this the afternoon, and I think that it might also have to do with the history of ha filter use. Especially some years ago ha-filters were mainly used for deep sky photography. A DSLR camera (or mirrorless, or dedicated astro cam, but for the sake of the example...) was then attached to a telescope. It might have made more sense to just make a clip in filter which would suit all telescopes in stead of 20 different sizes of telescope filter threads... which telescopes don't even have most of the time to begin with. The other variants were screw in filters (for example 2") to screw in somewhere else in your whole imaging train. For wide angle photography the use of ha filters has been more niche and therefore probably hardly worth the efforts of manufacturers to produce so many different sizes. Just a thought...
@@StarScaperPhoto that would definitively be interesting to see and thanks a lot for your time ! and astro modified just means attaching that filter or is there still anything else. But I just wait for the video :-P #nopressure
@@bienenhonig2105 an astromodified camera means that your infrared filter in front of the sensor has been removed. After that it is more sensitive to h-alpha light. If you want an extra boost of h-alpha you can additionally attach an ha filter to blend that layer in later. I've also done a tutorial on that on the channel.
Hi, Jeroen! I know you've been doing HaRGB many times. It always come out great! But, I'm curious what type of Ha Filter are you using on your Fujifilm? since I'm a user of Fujifilm myself. Thanks in advance! Clear sky! 🙌🏼🌌
@@StarScaperPhoto I mean do you have a clip in filter as well as an astro mod? If so where did you get it from and does it alter focus, or do you have to rest focus once putting it in

Excellent work Jeroen and love the HA files and normal tracked shots.. You guys had a great night and awesome photos.. loved it..
Thank you Virat!
Thanks for taking the time and effort to put together these videos! Really enjoy them 👌🏻
Thanks for commenting and letting me know Roy, appreciated!
Great video as always!
Thanks Mark! How is you mod getting along of the 6D?
@@StarScaperPhoto I've just sent an email today! I'm really looking forward to photograph some h-alpha
@@Mark_Wierda that's great to hear!
Great to see revenge was had, well done gents. Also liked seeing the before /after blends using the RGB and Ha files 👍
Thank you Greg! Thought it would be interesting to show some more insight in the raw files also.
Beautiful results once again from everyone involved!
Thank you!
Great stuff.
Wow! That h alpha data really gives it that special punch,!! Like both your compositions!;
Thanks as always Jan! Orion is a sublime target for an ha filter.
Brilliant shots from of all you. This time I am watching your vlog from Iceland.
Thank you Kevin! And wow, sounds great! Any luck with Aurora there?
@StarScaperPhoto Sunday was nice and yesterday I got some aurora images. But not the perfect ones, there is this clouds complex thing again 😅
@@Kevin.kistermann always those clouds... still awesome you have some, right?
Fantastische foto's Jeroen! zelf had ik een dikke faal afgelopen donderdag , bij het plaatsen van de lenswarmer alles out-of-focus... en niet goed gecontroleerd.
Dankjewel Niels! En nee joh! Dat is balen man. Ach, je bent niet de enige hoor die fouten maakt soms, geloof me ;-).

@@nightscapejournals oh wow, that sounds really good! 👌
Fantastic final images and a very social enjoyable video you guys are a great team.👏👏
Thanks so much Carl!
Wow! You guys have so much fun. And get great shots in the mean time! Which date was this trip?
Thanks! Wouldn't do this if it wasn't fun. Filmed on jan 8th.
Lekker bezig mannen
What was your bortle zone and what was total exposure for orion and great stuff love it
Thanks! I think it was bortle 4-5. Rgb exposure around 10x1 minute or so + around 15 minutes of h-alpha.
Watching some of your older stuff :) What type of clip in filter do you have för the 6D?
Oldies goldies! :P. Still love those adventures though. I also used the 12nm astronomik clip in filter for the 6D.
Great work! Any idea where I can pick up an Ha filter for a Sony camera (crop sensor)?
Thanks! I bought mine directly at Astronomik. I am not sure if there are versions available for your specific camera. You'll have to look that up.
What a stunning shots..One day i will take pictures like this 😍
One last thing the music you used in your videos is amazing especially in the last of this video can you tell me what this music ?
Thanks! Why not give it a go yourself? All music I use comes via epidemic sounds. The last song in the videos is mostly powerwalkin' by future joust.
Nice video, once again!
One question: How do you focus after you put the h-alpha filter in? Do you even see stars through the filter, to focus?
Thanks! Sometimes I aim for tue brightest thing in the sky, for example Jupiter and on a high iso it just about shines through. In this case I wanted to leave my composition so I just made some testshots and adjusted the focus bit by but between them until I was happy.

Do you stack the unfiltered subs with the filtered subs, or stack separately and extract the H alpha?
I stack separately and align afterwards. I made a full hargb tutorial on my workflow. You might want to check that out!
Did you use HA filter for Cygnus region? Or just astro mod cam?
I used the clip in filter here for the ha layer.
Jeroen another great adventure video!
May I ask a question about this H Alpha Filter stuff.
Why does the filter have to be attached in front of the sensor?
It seems quite dangerous fiddling around so close to the sensor.
Why arent there filters for the Lense.
I dont see much of a difference.
Other Filter like UV influence also certain bandwiths, but there it is ok to put the filter in front of the lense * head scratch

Thank you! My fuji is not modified and I hardly use it anymore these days to be honest. Fuji's are quite sensitive to ha to begin with.
@@StarScaperPhoto I see. So what are you using recently? is it Sony or the Canon one?
@IrfanBayuaji as you can see in the videos I'm always using my modded Canon 6D for photography. Video is Sony A7S.
@@StarScaperPhoto Ahh I see. Thank you so much, Jeroen! 🙌🏼🌌
@@IrfanBayuaji no problem! You should seriously try the fuji though, it's pretty good at astro! Sometimes I still use it for a quick shot.
Do you have a full spectrum mod?.. which Filter donyou use?..
It's a visible + ha mod. I use the astronomik 12nm ha clip in filter.
@@StarScaperPhoto thank you very much… your video post processing are very interesting… thank a lot from a beginner italian astrophotographer 😀
@@lore25376 my pleasure!
Do you have an extra ha filter?
Yes, I used an ha filter here also.
@@StarScaperPhoto I mean do you have a clip in filter as well as an astro mod? If so where did you get it from and does it alter focus, or do you have to rest focus once putting it in
@@StarScaperPhoto do you have a video on doing a winter mw arc?
@andysuzierawlins5462 ah, yes I do. Astronomik. Focus does change.
