awesome work!! Thank you for awesome tutorial and some new tricks! It's great to see someone to work on unmodded camera and getting such details and reds! It would be great to see some wide field milky way shot and how do you bring out rho opiuchi and zeta opiuchi with unmodded camera!
Hi mate, great tutorial on photoshop techniques, as a matter of fact absolutely awesome guidance. What were you using to stack the photos? DeepSkyStacker, Sequator or something else? Also were you stacking just the light photos or you were using darks, bias etc as well?
Thanks very much. Great to hear it's helping people! I use Deep Sky Stacker for my image stacking. I do use Sequator as well but only for wide angle landscape milky way image stacking, star trails, etc. DSS defintely has a lot more features and customisability with how it does things (like drizzle integration), but Sequator is MUCH quicker.
I'm getting into astro with a Nikon Z8 and 800mm 5.6 lens with fornax lightrack ii (not yet picked up). I see people using Ha and OIII filters but now that we have selective tools in PS (Point Color), I'm assuming that I could create layers with those target frequencies (656nm, 500.7nm, 495.9nm) to enhance them individually. With a nice tracker and fast lens, I'm wondering if I need to modify my sensor for astro if I can simply integrate longer to get a bit more signal to counter the efficiency loss in Ha. Or does this just drive up noise?
Really helpful video mate. What exposure times did you do. I tried the same target the other night and while it's ok, I can't pull the same amount of detail out with 3 hours of 2 min subs. Maybe it's the bortle 7 -8 I'm in
Thanks Nick! They're 150 second exposures at ISO1600, but I had 2 things going for me. Firstly Bortle 4, so that's huge. Secondly it was a very cold night so the camera didn't get too warm which helped reduce noise significantly too. 2.5 minutes is probably too long from B7/8 without a fairly aggressive LP filter. Lastly this target is still pretty low in the sky, it'll be better in a month or two when it gets virtually overhead (if you're in the SH). Good luck and let me know how you go!
I have learnt more from this one video than watching hundreds over the past 2 years. Many many thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome. Very glad to hear that.
Hoping to make more videos like it this year.
This is one of the best Astro Processing Tutorials on UA-cam. Thanks a lot. 👏
Thanks Max. StarNet is a great tip and it is a game changer for me.
Great to hear Mike. You’re welcome 👍
Unreal video dude! I usually just manually remove the stars with select colour range etc but Starnet looks interesting, I'll have to give it a go! :)
Thank you! Starnet is a game changer. So easy and so powerful!
Excellent video. I learned some new tricks to incorporate into my own work flow. Thanks!
Thanks David, happy to hear it was useful for you 👍
Just happened on this video. I was going to have my canon 80d modified but not now . Nice job !!
Excellent workflow. I’m glad to see a workflow example using the very filters and addons I use and prefer as well.
Thanks it’s fairly simple but quite powerful. Always good to hear others are doing similar things. Validates the method.
Congratulations!!! Regards from México!
Well done mate! I learned something!!!
Thanks David, guess you found my not so secret other passion!
@@maxguerryastro3076 yeah it’s awesome mate! Great content too!
Thanks for that. Some good tips and tricks and it is also interesting to watch someone’s processing workflow.
You're welcome! Hope it helps you out 👍
Amazing vid. I'm relatively new to Photoshop and this was a HUGE help.
Thanks
Awesome! Very happy it helped you out 😀👍
Great work and excellent video! Would love to eventually get results like this. Thanks for showing us how you achieved the end result.
Thanks Jon!
Phenomenal job. Thank you!
Thanks Bruce! Always great to hear my videos are being helpful.

Hoping to shoot the Milky Way again this year from a darker sky, so a tutorial should come later for that.

I find my ED72 has the same optical tilt it's annoying
Yep. I've tried a bunch of stuff. Can't fix it. I guess that's why it's not double or triple the price that it is...
could you make a video , from the real beginning? you allready done with stacking .
When I get some time, I plan to. Might have to be over Christmas when I have some time off work…
