In this video, Mike shows you how to take a noise free Milky Way photo and how to edit with a software called Starry Landscape Stacker. It's a start to finish, starting in the field and then post-processing in Lightroom, Photoshop and Starry Landscape Stacker. This is a more advanced post-processing tutorial. #milkywayphotography #starrylandscapestacker

    Two thumbs up buddy, great intro to the program and that finish result was awesome.
  • @alanhumbard8298
    I really enjoyed your video. You do an amazing job of explaining how to do landscape with the Milky Way. Will need to start addressing you as Professor Mike.

    Great Video! A few notes: I am a PC user so Sequator is my tool... I always take dark frames too. (Same settings with the lens cap on) It helps a TON with noise and hot pixel removal. It didn't look like that is an option with the stacker you use. On the hot pixel topic... I get lots of red and green pixels that get too hot when I do an exposure over 6 minutes in the summer so I tend to try the blue hour technique but need to work on the blending. I look forward to using your tricks here. An issue with this where there is humidity is the setting dew. By 11pm in Ohio it looks like it rained there is so much dew settling (Tip: A couple hot hand pack held to the lens with rubber bands will reduce this.) Stay well y'all!

    Hii Your videos are very helpful for us... Love from INDIA...
  • @gregsnell
    Dude!! This is awesome. Love the detail and the presentation Mike, hats off bro. The 13min foreground exposure calculator is a great feature of photopills. The photoshop detail too man is great. Thanks for this!! I like the long exposure blend more funny enough. I thought it would be the blue hour but no.
