Astrophotography in the Perthshire Highlands!

[@linkedwinters]

I really love the astrovlogs. There's a hole in my heart after the passing of the king of these. Keep it up, you're amazing

[@scotlandsnightsky]

@@linkedwinters definitely got new motivation for them so expect a new one very soon!

[@StarScaperPhoto]

Great to soo you back at it Andrew! Loved the church shot despite the little shadow. And yeah, at night stuff can creep you up alright 😅

[@blobrana8515]

Dunning is a contender for the site of the roman battle of Mons Graupius. Stunning images. I would use stacking software such as the free Skystacker to reduce the noise levels at high ISOs and reduce star trailing.

Great to see you back out, Andrew - enjoyed all of those images. What a great time of year to do astro!

[@scotlandsnightsky]

@@nightscapejournals cheers man! Enjoying being back out again!

[@1967GEOMAN]

Nice vid. Graveyards are the safest places to be! Often shoot amongst some old headstones. Love the atmosphere at night. Never fear the dead, it's some of the live one's you've got to watch your back😉 Just say hello when you enter, then thank them when you leave👍

[@scotlandsnightsky]

@@1967GEOMAN that’s a good way to put it! I’ll speak to them next time :)

[@TonyJackson-cf3er]

Excellent Stuff Andrew, might recognise your van one night when out with my camera too (Tony Fastmarlindriver) 👍

[@scotlandsnightsky]

@@TonyJackson-cf3er awesome stuff! You’ll see me all stressed out no doubt trying to find clear skies 😂

[@StargazerMan]

Enjoyed the vlog. Nice peaceful location 😊 It's odd the times I'm out in the middle of nowhere in the pitch black shooting I never feel spooked. It's when I'm not shooting or concentrating on the gear is when my mind wanders and all sorts of mad stuff pops in there! 😅

[@scotlandsnightsky]

@@StargazerMan oh yes! Constantly think you hear something dodgy 😂

[@Alan-vk6bk]

I was visiting my girlfriend that day I saw you at the Tesco's petrol station filling up. She lives in Alyth so not that far from you. Great video keep up the good work 👍

[@scotlandsnightsky]

aw fantastic! Always welcome to say hi :)

[@nuclear_rigatoni]

Your pictures were so gorgeous, but I would never be able to go to a graveyard at night lmao. I use a seestar for deep sky images, but I just bought a remote shutter for my DSLR to get night sky photography and long exposure photos like star trails.

[@scotlandsnightsky]

@@nuclear_rigatoni best of luck with the new kit for yourself :)

[@frankinblackpool]

Did you capture a meteor go under your tripod at Timestamp 6:05? BTW I am now the proud owner of a MSM Nomad and all I need now is some clear sky's to play with it.

[@scotlandsnightsky]

@@frankinblackpool I did notice that yeah in the editing 😂 and good stuff! You’ll love it! Best of luck finding the dark skies!

[@amacmedia3221]

Great video mate, it always plays on my mind when out somewhere spooky at night, ever since I did a time lapse where a shadow appeared at an alleged haunted house and it turned out it was during witching hour(3-4am).

[@scotlandsnightsky]

@@amacmedia3221 aw nah see what would freak me the hell out, even a head torch light gives me the fear incase it illuminates something 😂

[@amacmedia3221]

@ fortunately I didn’t see any shadow at the time, only during the edit, or I’d have bolted and left the kit behind 😂

[@StagnantMizu]

are the pics raw? might be nice to take one 10sec exposure and 50 3 sec ones and stack the 3 seconds ones and add to the background of foreground

[@scotlandsnightsky]

@@StagnantMizu never really used the stacking technique for some reason
