I took a picture of the Milky Way with a kit lens and a ROCK!

[@uschi414]

I’m a little disappointed that one of the upgrade options wasn’t a better rock! 😂 Great series and I look forward to the next installment.

[@Design_no]

Even a mound of dirt.

[@S12Astro]

ZWO make a rock but it’s expensive and is not compatible with other rocks or cameras.

[@GalacticHunter]

Haha, a rock that can track would be great

[@cristian-zg8sh]

The next level chose the shutter and the tripod and can you take a star trail image with this.

[@jedidiahwest4619]

Great job! Personally, I got burnt out with all the gear and setting while chasing perfection. Then I realized that my friends didn’t care if it was “perfect” they were blown away by some of my simple stuff. I think going back to the beginner stage is what I need to fall in love with astrophotography again. Thanks!

[@SquiggyWigginz]

Go with the tripod and shutter my wife says

[@SquiggyWigginz]

What a great concept!!! Loved the premiere and can't wait to see what comes out next you two.

[@GalacticHunter]

Thank you!!

[@TL1000S97]

This is a very good video and reminder to anyone that you do not need a lot of expensive gear to take pretty nice pictures of the Milky Way. Great work Dalia! I will definitely enjoy following this series (I started as a beginner last year, failed miserable at first, and got bitten by GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome) 😂

[@Luis_Gonzalez12]

Great idea for a series!

[@ferdigrafie]

Oh this was some much joy to watch. Very lovely done. I am a very advanced shooter with multiple rigs, but this is so entertaining and nice to watch. I am looking forward to watch the whole series. Thank you for your effort😊

[@sa-rq2xj]

Love the new series! I would say tripod for sure... or a better rock. I think a lens would demand a tripod. I think the shutter would be good on its own. I don't know enough about filters to know why exactly i would want one. So in the end, I think tripod and lens, OR shutter and filter and better rock.

[@darrylmills557]

If they keep coming out that good on a rock, why bother with any upgrades. Just loved it, very well done, well presented and had me captivated right to the end. Very well done ,and i look forward to the next one.

[@sianikolaou5440]

Too funny but I like it!

[@astrodad-simonb277]

Love it !! :-)

[@Arcteek]

Great video! Fyi there's a very simple sequence functionality on the 7DII which works perfectly up to 30" exposures. Just in case you pick the shutter 😂

[@pedalajones]

Nice video and cool photo!

[@seanchristie9146]

awesome stuff and awesome pic keep it up please

[@S12Astro]

Another great job galactic huntress. I’m going away to Greece soon and thinking of using my kit lens with a star tracker (upgrade from rock)

[@Ghostflyer63]

I wish I lived in an area with scenery liked at Houston sucks🤣🤣😂😂. Best place for me to go for the milky way is Surfside

[@mikehardy8247]

I'm hurt by your dissing the 7D MK II. I love mine still. In fact I used it and the Tamron 150-600 mm. With the internal intervelometor to photograph the eclipse.

[@Luftbubblan]

Nice, will be fun to follow!

[@Luftbubblan]

Depending on camera functions, i would probably pick the intervalometer first then tripod. After that a tracker and probably a mini computer(i love being lazy). Personally i would also skip many steps to save a few bucks in the long run but the journey is very fun, i still remember how excited i was with each and every upgrade.

[@d.fresh.750]

Ha! I missed the premiere, dangit, but what a (slightly) goofy & fun theme! I like where this series is going...looking forward to seeing more!!!

[@chridignan9178]

Great idea. Lovely, subtle processing. Looks v natural plus astro!

[@GalacticHunter]

Thank you!!

[@p7ayfu77tech]

Love the new series. X

[@dwaipayansinha]

Please review the Vespera II and the Vespera Pro

[@chrischarlesjax]

That was so great, very engaging and funny too.

[@GalacticHunter]

Happy you liked it!

[@brodymk45]

Title was a little bit misleading, I thought you literally used a rock as the image sensor lol. Great video anyway, I would definitely go with the tripod and the intervalometer.

[@ApoorvaIyer]

Incredible! Did you use calibration frames at all? It’s shocking that this is a single frame

[@GalacticHunter]

Thank you! That is just a single frame, the dark sky really helps!

[@IdahoOutdoorDad]

This is gonna be a fantastic series. Also… your single shot is better than my stacked shot taken on a r6 mkii 😂😂😂

[@GalacticHunter]

Dark skies make all the difference!

[@IdahoOutdoorDad]

@@GalacticHunter haha yeah I was in like a bortle 2-3 zone haha. Yours still better lol

[@markorcutt2115]

I tried the same thing with an iPhone 11 and used a bleacher seat to hold the iPhone. Some of my results were posted on my instagram just for fun.

[@jwdeepsky]

What the heck is a rock? Like a rock rock?! 🪨

[@GalacticHunter]

Haha you will find out

[@karlfortner887]

👍👍👍👍

[@spookysandwich1355]

can i come to your shop and get upgrades with these tokens ? the amount of money i would save would be astronomical 😁

[@GalacticHunter]

Haha, if you can find the spaceship sure :D

[@spookysandwich1355]

I love this, Dalia! Great video! ❤
