I have tried so many times. What a mess! Today I followed your demonstration. Thanks !! It worked great!

Thank you for this wonderful demonstration. I have only just discovered this artistic magic from a member of the Grey Bruce photography group. I need to buy glycerine and then I’m going to try it. I only have my iPhone camera so I’ll do my best with that.

Does the newer version of Stelarium have a feature where you can switch from ground view (backyard) to being out in space? Thank you

Very cool! I'll have to compare with my shots from last weekend.

Thank you! I was wondering how to see more than an hour into the future, I hope in the future planit can implement the actual NOAA predictions for the next night aurora which they have on their site

Thanks Mike for the info. I know this is two years later on my comment, but I also wanted to add that the list of sensors and telescopes can be edited to delete all of the populated list when first downloading the program. That way you only have your cameras and telescopes on the list, saving the scrolling through a bunch of choices that you don't need. Very slick. I have been using Stellarium for a while but had not been taking advantage of these options. I always just went to Telescopious for my scope and sensor views but this is a pretty cool function on Stellarium. Thanks for the video tutorial ! Cheers from Moab Utah... ;-)

Hey mate, why don't you make the image smaller and the adjustments panel bigger? Then we can actually see what you're doing.

Very informative tutorial Mike, Thanks so much !

What is the best way to run the PlanIt app on a laptop?

many thanks for an interesting and instructive video

linus?

Bro what’s up with the shirt

That is a very interesting top tip tyvm

This is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen!

Natural is beautiful

great video. so im curious - when a new comet is discovered, who creates that downloadable file with all the data of its orbital elements, and how accurate this data is?

6.5 minutes into video you show how to hover and pull the left side bar, then selecting top button to enter our location. I was not able to do either though my landscape did match yours. Seems this step should have been at the beginning but once I can do this, I will go back to your beginning and try again. Thanks

I browsed through your videos on your channel but I didn't come across any for the mobile app? That's what I really need help with. To plan the upcoming supermoon on August 1, 2023. Thank you. Could you also send me a link to sign up for your newsletter for your workshops in 2024?

Can you use this to program a sunrise or a sunset on any given day?

Thanks for this video!

Does the Tiffen double fog 3 generate the same effect as the starglow filter in terms of strength? Thank you

Hey great video but how did you get the good pics of the andromeda Galaxy and other objects to look so good in stellarium.

Wow the program allows artwork displayed on the constellations . These features can be a bit overwhelming but awsum to see on your desk top or mobile device . What a great feature for astro photographers to compare with 👍

Will this work on the moblie app and how?

Thank You for explaning the difference between Lightromm and Lightroom classic. Now I understand!

Thank you, Mike, that is a really great suggestion that I also got in one of your classes! We all enjoy seeing the constellations in the night sky and this really helps to see them on the photos as well! It's not intuitive why that works. Here is my attempt at an explanation, let me know if it makes sense: The bright stars are so bright that some of their light gets clipped on the sensor. The dimmer stars don't get clipped, so the relationship of bright to dim stars is off in the picture. The diffusion filter doesn't do much to the dim stars, but it spreads the light of the bright stars out a bit. As a result, less or no clipping occurs, and the relationship of the brightness of bright and dim stars stays the same as in the real night sky.

Great video Mike! I love your classes too! I can't wait for the next one in Kanab Utah this May!

hello, is this live feed? how do I update to live feed?

Thanks a lot for this beautiful video.

The Stallarium is supposed to represent the night-sky as it is but I have noticed that the Milky Way’s intensity also vary over years. I live in the Southern Hemisphere, from 2021, and it might have stated sooner, to now the Milky Way is hardly visible. But I am told it is not possible. Can someone verify if the Milky Way’s intensity vary over long periods and what is the cycle period for intensity changes, if any.

When I start the app, it always shows the milky way band, no matter what time of the year, is it really there or it's just a decorative prop?

What was the Kp index back then?This Saturday(Oct 1) it will be 6,but sky will be partly or mostly cloudy, that's the issue,Is it okay to give a try?

is there a spaceship module that we can travel to other galaxies without being stuck at the speed of light limit ? I remember StarryNight program be able to this journey.

This was the first space sim I've ever had. I'm still on a quest to find one that works. When I cycle through the sun then the 9 planets stellarium tells me venus is the 3rd planet (lol). I always thought earth was the 3rd planet. I have bought 4 space sims now and all of them seem to be in some kind of beta state...unfinished. I paid $49.99 for sky safari pro and it's all kinds of broken. I'm trying space engine now... wish me luck!!!

I am currently subscribed to Adobe's Photography plan. I have the option to install both LrC and LR and I would like to install just one as they do pretty much the same thing. The problem is, I can't decide which one to use. I've been installing/reinstalling LrC but I think LR is more streamlined specially for beginners. I'm in no way a pro.. I don't even have a proper camera. I'm just using my phone for photography. Any tips?

Awesome Timelapse of the Auroras!

I am in process of buying a faster lens for shooting night sky views, and trying to decide between the Samyang XP 50mm f1.2 and 35mm f1.2. I have a Canon 6D (Full frame), and a T6i (APS-C). After watching this video, my gut feeling is that the 35mm will be a better choice for me; On the 6D body, it has 64.5° FOV, and on the T6i body, 44.4° FOV , just slightly narrower than the 46.6° FOV of the 50mm on the 6D body. So I get a relatively wide FOV on a full-frame body, but medium telephoto on an APS-C body. And if I need to zoom in even tighter, I have a very sharp Rokinon 85mm f1.4 that has a 17.7° FOV on my 60D or T6i cameras.

How do you turn on the N, S, East and West ? I can't find it. And how do you know the stars are above your head? Thanks

Thanks for your webinar. I was wondering what the best lenses for are taking nighttime photography on a Canon 5D Mark 111. Thank you. Would love to see more videos of this software.

How do the lenses work, As the number goes up your view gets better or worse? eg 500 vs 200 mm lens which is better?

so expertely awesome!

Very useful information, thanks

So sorry I missed this when you went live - hopefully I'll catch the next one. Always learn a ton of great stuff from these! Love from me and mine to you and yours!

did you setup a custom background using your backyard images into Stellarium ? If so, did you personally install or do you have a recommendation on how to ?
