That is amazing! Thanks for sharing Matt! In a previous video i commented asking if you got any astrophotography time during your trip to chile, well looks like you not only got time but you made the most of it 🙂

No true substitute for dark skies. Love Chile, and what you were able to pull from this shoot. Congrats!

Thanks! Such crazy fun skies to experience when visiting Chile.

[@marionw1143]

this is soo impressive! I wonder why this video doesn’t have more views

[@MattDieterich]

Thanks Marion glad you like it!

[@michaelkleinburger9908]

Stunning, would love to shoot there again. What lenses did you use?

[@MattDieterich]

I used a Canon 135mm for some of those Deepscapes and Magellanic Cloud images. Then a Sony 50mm for the timelapse.

[@treymcgriff6086]

Well done, Matt.

[@MattDieterich]

Thanks Trey! Hope you've been well man!

[@mariospenard5125]

Nice! Was it an easy trip to get to Chile during the pandemic time? Mario

[@MattDieterich]

There are extra hoops to go through, but nothing too difficult.

[@thimitri1]

Surprised you didn't drag your L350 and CDK14 out there.. 🙂

[@MattDieterich]

Haha oh ya we already have the CDK600 down there we can use 😀

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

How does one hold focus for shooting flats with a 24 mm lens? Thx

[@MattDieterich]

You can just keep it roughly focused at where you captured your light frames at.

[@neilfpv]

OMG, it's so beautiful! I would love to do the same. I built a camera motorized slider and I like to try it on milky way! WOW, falling star at 1:40!

[@MattDieterich]

Thanks for watching Neil!

[@ThompPL1]

Awe inspiring to watch Galaxy Rise every night there ! . . . Color correction & realism must be a real bear though ?

[@MattDieterich]

The skies there are so beautiful, especially when the Milky Way rises over the mountains!

[@Zealor365]

Quick question: which is better - Chile, or Death Valley for Astro Imaging?

[@MattDieterich]

Chile in my opinion because of the higher altitude and little to no light pollution. The Southern Hemisphere skies are surreal as well. Death Valley is still an amazing spot for astro!

[@Black_hole306]

1:05 is this how you saw the milky way with your eyes?

[@MattDieterich]

That is straight video out of my Sony A7Siii camera, but it a little brighter than what I saw with my eyes. It is very close though and the Milky Way is impressive from that location in Chile.
