Ooh, that´s one of my bucket list thing... to be able to shoot Rho Opiuchi. I am too far north to do it here so I really want to go somewhere to do that... Your photos turned out great!

Bedankt Jeroen, gaaf dit!! Kan niet wachten tot we wat heldere avonden hebben. Hopelijk niet te koud! Ik dacht dat de Melkweg alleen van maart tot oktober zichtbaar was maar begreep vandaag pas na het horen van een podcast van Tom Vogels en jou dat alleen de kern zichtbaar is in die periode. Dus als ik het goed begrijp is eigenlijk het hele jaar door de Melkweg te fotograferen… 😀

Hi guys, I saw your video and wanted to tell you something about your friend's problem with the blue spot on the photo. I have had similar problems with blue/purple spots on an astromodified Canon 6D in the past. The problem is not from the viewfinder but is caused by shooting with live view active. With live view active, there is an infrared sensor inside the sensor that will then appear in the photo. If you shoot with live view off, this problem will not occur. This happens in reflex cameras and not in mirrorless cameras. I hope I was helpful.

Watching some of your older stuff :) What type of clip in filter do you have för the 6D?

Thanks for a nice tutorial!

Fantastic tutorial. I learned a lot and it will help me take my nightscape photography to another level. I'm off to watch the Milky Way processing tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise with this!

it is possible to edit #HaRGB photoshots with #Darktable?

Do you stack the unfiltered subs with the filtered subs, or stack separately and extract the H alpha?

I find standing next to my camera to close while using a dew warmer is enough to over power the dew warmer

You mention an Ha filter. What specific filter is it? I have an astro modified Canon 6D MkII which will not take a clip in filter. Would this be acceptable? Kolari Vision UV/IR Cut H-Alpha Pass Pro Lens Filter (82mm)

9:04 - amazing - well done - thanks for sharing.

Great video Jeroen. This video reminded me that I bought your old h-alpha filter which I still need to try out 😂

Great stuff as usual. I especially love how relaxed you guys are. So astrophotographers videos are so serious!! Did the Dew Heater fail because of the dangling power bank? Also, that new coat is a bit noisy against the mic isn't it?

Can't you do that with Stellarium?

Great results! Really enjoyed the Video. Might have to give it a try myself.

Great pics lads, did you use your nomad for that. I have had the problem of fogging even with a dew heater a few times lately., especially when trying to get the comet on my 70-300 @300mm, it fogged from the inside

Great work and love the images.. I have sent in my camera for Astro Mod and cannot wait to learn and shoot some new objects...

I have a omegon minigraker quattro too, iIlove it. Nice photo!

great video...thank you very much...

Lovely pictures and very cool to see a bit of a proces of making the pictures. I think the diffused star effect adds alot to wintery pictures. What method would you have used if to diffuse the stars if you did it by post processing instead of using a diffusing filter? I've been trying to find some information on it but it's tough to find (or I am bad at searching).

I`m using StarWalk 2 on Android. which has a augmented reality mode but it`s not ideal. There`s a free version with adverts, so you can try it :) It`s a bit annoying to use but better than nothing. BTW last week the fog finally cleared and I had a chance to shoot the comet. It was a success :D

Great vlog again, for planning on android I use PlanItPro and Stellarium. I don't know why photopills only has the milkyway in it. What kind of diffusion filter do you use?

Ooh, now you´ve done it! You made me want a Ha-filter again 😅 I had one for my old 550D but sold it due to not liking the results from the 550D for landscape astro. Very nice vlog and I´m really hoping to catch Orion myself soon. Your final image was beautiful!

Love your RGB Ha results 😍. Really looking forward to getting out to shoot the "summer" (😉) night sky now that I have a Ha filter. Will definitely be looking up your video for a processing refresher.

Having never done astrophotography editing, your video was very interesting and informative.

Seems like a lovely evening Jeroen, great results and a lot of fun. That diffusion filter sure seems strong. I have a tip for that, use it for only half your exposure by holding it in front. You can get away with it from around ~20mm focal length. Also free excersise to keep warm😂.

Saw your photo pop up on my FB feed in one of the astrophotography groups and now I see your video in my YT recommended! Fantastic shot!

@starScaper I have an Android phone I find Stellarium app works well

I use PhotoPills on my Android... Also, another App I use with Android is Stellarium + I dont think Stellarium Plus has an option to overlay you composition with the stars to compose, but I use it all the time it seems for me to be really accurate. Great videos Buddy, keep them coming.

Very nice.

Deze avond heeft wederom mooie platen opgeleverd! Nice !

A superb evening, with delicious photos. How is the leg, now 100% recovered?

Great images mate! Orion and the winter milky way are on my list this winter too. Also, good to see you're fully recovered now after the leg injury too mate

I use SkyView on my android. It works well and is, of course, free.

Im in the process of putting together a as small lightweight tracking setup, thanks to your inspiring astro images

Superb, relaxing, night and fantastic images. Love that windmill - we’ve got quite a few around here but that’s next level! Great to see you out enjoying the winter sky. 👍

Very nice results there! I love the Orion field with HA. Now add some snow and aurora for ultimate BOOM. Could happen this winter oh boy.

You can try an alternative to Blur-/Softfilters ... defocus the lens a little bit (not too much!) and add a slight gaussian blur in photoshop. you will get beautiful star colors cause the lights gets spread nicely and there should be no issues with reflections etc.

Hi! Great video as always. I have watched your video in the Ha-RGB processing and have followed along. I keep getting mixed results and problems. I shoot using the Benro Polaris and what I have seen is as it tracks, the images start to tilt. So I have to reset the tracker to level again to shoot the Ha but then I have trouble aligning the Ha and the RGB because after resetting the tracker to level it, the tracker and stacked Ha images do not line up with its counterpart tracked and stacked RGB images. You are using the MSM. Does the same thing happen with that as well? Any tips on how to address that? Also, have you come up with any updated (and possibly a bit more simpler😊) Ha-RGB processing techniques that you can share? Thanks as always.

Good to see you back on your feet! :)

Well done!! Stellarium is great to see what's where in the sky, but with PlanitPro for Android you can use Augmented Reality and see the constellations exactly where they should be in relation to the foreground you're holding your phone at. 😂 Nice touch with the starglow filter, I've been using one way more often lately as well. Man. Bortle 20.5 is still Bortle 4 considered?! Crazy how broad of a region Bortle 4 is .. 😂

Ohhh yeah! What a great vlog... my favorite targets and you guys had such a relaxed and fun time + images are awesome!

Love this channel, mate! I´ve been trying to take some pictures of Orion these days too, but the results are not as good as yours. Congrats!

Great video as always, next to that I think that I have the same issue as Corne with the lightleak! I cant wait to get clear skies again 😢

WHOW! What a beautiful final image! Besides Orion and Barnard's loop also Rosetta, California, Pleiades etc., And for my taste a perfect balance between foreground and the sky! Do you post them somewhere were could look at them for a bit longer? You really stress my patience because I have to save for few months until I get my first dedicated astro-camera 🥲 ... Thx for sharing as always, love that come-along-vlog-type of videos!

Stellarium :-) is good for Android

THANK YOU!!! I've been dabbling in astrophotography for a little over a year now, I've been enjoying it, but I haven't really been getting the results I wanted. I've gotten good shots, just not GREAT shots. Sat and followed your workflow on this in one of my photos that I already processed previously. Quick revert, and about an hour of processing, and BAM!!! Your tutorial was EXCELLENT!! New subscriber here!!

Great review. Thanks. Do you have a portable charger for the NOMAD tracker if you need it in the field? If so, can you share that charger info?

Glad you are getting better.

In reality, it is much, much, better than the Bortle 2 rating.
