What is it about many KZbinrs that we're asked to subscribe and/or like without having seen the video content? I'm at 1:08. Please tell me what's to like at *this early point* in the presentation? I will continue to the end and make my decisions.

Thank you im new to digital and this is big on my bucket list. Got to shoot the 2023 super moon for my first moon. Not to bad needs to be a bit more clear. Its clear enough to see the mountain ridges around the edge. Im use to shooting star trails and night scapes since 1977 on film so digital is just the next step. Thank for the photo tips ❤

I’m so happy you guys support TagBackTV. he loves looking at the stars and is able to share that with his Community in part because you OPT. Thank you.

[@OPTTelescopes]

Of course! TagBack is absolutely amazing at what he does and is one of the kindest most caring people. Its an honor to know him

[@stellababy1998]

Very good! Fast and lots of information!😊

[@anthonyerwin81]

I have a Galaxy S21 ultra I want to take pictures of the moon and the stars what type of setting do I need to use

[@khanscombe619]

How can I know when & where tbe moon is visible over trees3 for my swme location? Los Angeles hills. June 22 full moon was visible upstairs out the bedroom window through a tree at 21:09 but last night I couldn't see it even waited till 22:20

[@figzastro-photography]

Great video. I like what you guys are doing. Nice way to give back. Thank you.

[@OPTTelescopes]

All we want it to put space in the hands of everyone and feel the same never-ending excitement we capture images of it

[@ExaltedDuck]

Stabilization can be your friend. I have an xt-4 (apsc) with the 70-300 and can run full zoom up to about a quarter second without issue completely handheld. Half a second becomes challenging.if I can brace myself up against something steady, half a second to a second becomes not unreasonable. I figure the challenge in that setup should be comparable to 500-600 mm on a full frame.

[@NeilCorke]

Good video. Going to try the hand held challenge after a few drinks with some friends…

[@bryanbeers6012]

Thanks for the tips! While researching the topic of lunar photography, I located several websites which provide "moonrise times" and "moon phases" for a given location based upon the month and day of the year. The "altitude" of the moon above the horizon is also provided based upon the time it's transiting the night sky. This information should help photographers plan for the optimum time to get prepared to photograph the moon without wasting time waiting for it to peek above the horizon.

[@AstroForumSpace]

Great video Rafal and Mack! Looks like you guys had lots of fun, keep it coming :-).

[@OPTTelescopes]

Thank you! we love making them!

[@paultrunfull3324]

Great vid, with loads of info presenter well. Will be back for more.

[@bcmsimon]

I hate doing this but I am a moronic pedant. The moon is tidally locked and the dark side never faces us. Great video and very useful thanks. I am yet to capture and image I really like and this will help me to get there. Liked and subscribed.

[@marekszyszka2455]

Yo guys! My fav astro channel : ) need more vid : D

[@markledbury3666]

Excellent video! Looking forward to learning more advanced imaging techniques. Thanks!

[@danieldaku3137]

Thanks for the help.

[@InsertAstroNameHere]

Appreciate the love OPT. Great video. Now I need to shoot that New Moon Phase. 🌚

[@abcartclass7515]

best moon basic class.thx

[@JimMarkgraf]

Great video guys! I'm really looking forward to seeing some of the advanced techniques you've teased!

[@brianroberts815]

Pretty good video

[@dksirbharkaun4815]

Amazing style of giving information sir

[@the_Monkey_Wolf]

Thanks man!

[@TheNarrowbandChannel]

I would argue that with the superior image stabilization of 43rds cameras, it will be easier to hand hold and shoot the moon.

[@prius9253]

can i photograph the moon using a monochrome astrocamera

[@alandyer910]

How can there be a “supermoon” on May 21 but a lunar eclipse on May 26? The close perigee is May 26 coinciding with Full Moon and the lunar eclipse. I think someone got their dates mixed up. Plus Harvest Moon is usually defined as the Full Moon closest to the equinox, which would make the Harvest Moon this year on Sept. 20. See www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/moon/harvest.html You’re defining it as the first Full Moon after the equinox. I think you’re getting it mixed up with the Full Moon that’s sets the date of Easter. I enjoy your videos but do get your astronomy right! Clear skies!

How to shoot time-lapse when it's rising, cause it's brightness will increase rapidly and darkness too

[@miroslavk.5049]

well done tutorial

[@HelenasAstrophotography]

So informative and beautiful shots guys! I really enjoyed this one. Honoured you featured my photo :)

[@OPTTelescopes]

Thank you for making beautiful photos and inspiring the community on a daily basis!

[@Ahayu-lindo]

Nikon p520 takes sick photos of the moon

[@ar-arsalabe4401]

Today is the day, but it's raining in the Philippines hahaha

[@dr.rickmarshall6697]

it was a tie. (are you down with opt you know me)

[@DirkDirk1983]

"new moon is when the dark side of the moon is facing us" ... That's a bit weird to say it like that. There is no other part of the moon facing us, it's still the same part of the moon's hemisphere but dark.

[@migranthawker2952]

Exactly - it's dark rather than lit by the Sun, therefore in the New Moon phase the "dark side of the Moon is facing us!

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

I don't think autofocus will work.

[@migranthawker2952]

Yes it does, as long as the Moon is positioned over one of the focus sensor points!

[@QatarVegan]

In my experience it always does (Nikon Z6)

[@No-vm7go]

Stop begging for subscriptions, thumbs up and alert bells and all that crap especially at the beginning of the video before anyone’s had a chance to actually watch it. It’s pathetic.

[@MarYSoldePuertoRico]

Read THE BOOK OF ENOCH, starting at chapter 72...gives complete details of the moon. THE BOOK OF ENOCH, CEPHER Version
