Learn how to properly shoot and process star trail photographs using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. In this video I will discuss all of the required gear that you will need to produce high quality astro photographs. (Gear links below) I will then give a detailed explanation on how to program your intervalometer. Then I will discuss the camera settings that you will need in order to achieve a proper exposure for the night sky with and without a moon. Next, I will explain how to obtain proper focus in the dark and how to find the north star without an app. Lastly I will demonstrate some post processing techniques using Lightroom and Photoshop so you can get the most out of your shots. Recommended Gear • Full frame digital camera • Wide lens with an maximum aperture of f4 or larger • Sturdy Tripod with ballhead - - See recommendations below • Intervalometer - - See recommendations below (I highly recommend a corded off brand remote as they are just as good and much cheaper than the name brand remotes. Neewer is my go to brand. • Bright Headlamp with red light option - - See recommendations below • Warming gels for light painting - - See recommendations below --------------------------------------------------- GEAR LINKS--------------------------------------------- (Value Tripod and ballhead kit) Leofoto LS-324C+LH-40 Tripod Kit LH-40 Carbon Fiber CF 4 Section & 40mm Low Profile Ball Head amzn.to/3tbSarF (High Quality Tripod) Gitzo Systematic GT3533LS Series 3 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod, 55 lbs Capacity, 60" Max Height, Long adorama.rfvk.net/c/1411134/29622/1036?prodsku=GZGT… (High Quality Ballhead) Really Right Stuff BH-40 Ball Head with Compact Lever-Release Clamp, 18 lb Capacity adorama.rfvk.net/c/1411134/29622/1036?prodsku=RRSB… (450 lumen Headlamp) Petzel Aktic Core amzn.to/3akhzZE (Warming Gels for light painting) amzn.to/3x395xI (Canon Intervalometers) For Canon R5, R3, 5D, 6D, 1D amzn.to/392Jehi For Canon EOS R, Rebel amzn.to/3akiYiS (Nikon Intervalometers) For Nikon Z7, Z6, Z5, D7500, D780, D610 amzn.to/3tbVdzZ For Nikon Z9, D5, D6, D850, D810, D800, D810, D4, D3, D700 amzn.to/3GHmkZc (Sony Intervalometers) For Sony A6000 A6100 A6600 A6500 A6400 A6300 A1 A7 A7II A7III A7IV A7R II III A7RIV A7S II A7SIII A9 ZV-1 RX100 VII VI V VA IV RX10 IV & More amzn.to/3x2UJx5 -------------------------------------------- STARTRAIL SHOOTING CHECKLIST. -------------------------------------------- • Plug in your intervalometer before mounting your camera on the tripod. • Make sure your shooting in RAW • Make sure your battery is 100% charged. • Make sure there is enough room on your memory card to shoot for your planned duration of time. • Remove all PL and ND filters • Set lens to manual focus • Turn image stabilization off on lens and in camera if equipped • Turn of "Long Exposure Noise Reduction" AKA Long Expo NR • Check your camera mode: Bulb for startrils and Manual for focusing and pinpoints • Set the White Balance to your preference. I often shoot tungsten for no moon and 4,200 for full moon. • Program your intervalometer • Focus on a bright star • Enjoy the night sky!
