When you mentioned doing polar alignments during blue hour I was like-- He totally has another camera body for foregrounds 😂

Light hearted, informative and interesting as usual. I just love your channel. Looking forward to your ‘blending’ video to combine the background and foreground, which to be fair I have seen done by others. But you describe it as ‘simple’ to understand. Thanks for your input once again 👍

Got Star Adventurer 2i Pro on the way and reason I chose that is it can be connected directly to your camera via SNAP cable which allows you to run the SAM console app on your phone and set your exposure times and number of shots. No intervalometer needed. Can even set different profiles for different night sky targets. Very handy feature of the Star Adventurer to be able to control your shots via a phone app.

the easiest way to shoot in the Southern hemisphere is to buy the ioptron with the ipolar ,take the laptop out and use it to align the non existent south pole and your all set . the more accurate you are in polar aligning the better results you're going to get . cheers.

The lizard coming out of the cornfield was terrifying, but then I realized there was no threat and I settled down for a quality YouTube video

Thanks for video. I had the same problem with polar finder. I mean, after pilar allignement, I have to rotate mounting bracket 180° and the polar finder light turned off. And when I wanted to re-align during the fotosession, I had to rotate 180°, make polar alligbement and rotate again, 180° and take the photos. But I found out, it is possible to unscrew the mounting block (the red thing, you have to rotate to tutn the polar light) and put it back upside-down. So you don't need to rotate always during PA. I hope, it helps. Clear skies!
