The Pentax K-1′s built-in Astrotracer tracks stars using GPS data to shift its sensor during longer exposures. This allows you to shoot longer exposures without star trailing while reducing noise and increasing details. It’s quite easy to get Astrotracer up
The Pentax K-1’s Astrotracer is one of many features that makes the Pentax K-1 one of the greatest DSLRs made, and one of the best cameras for night photography. Here, we’ll discuss five easy steps to creating cleaner, more detailed
What is a good lens for Milky Way photos that won’t break the bank? This is a common question that frequently pops up in social media discussions everywhere. People ask about recommendations for ultra wide-angle lenses for night photography, astrophotography,
Spring is coming. The weather is warming. We are more likely to go outside. And as a bonus, this means that Milky Way season is here! Are you interested in photographing the night sky, peering through a telescope, or laying
I was on vacation in Mammoth Lakes with my girlfriend. We had just eaten dinner. It was night. And now, it was time for me to drive off to continue the fun. When some guys want to get away for
Above us, only sky. And in that sky is a shimmering ring of stars that we call the Milky Way. But most of us cannot see it. An international team in Science Advances estimates that 83% of the world and

The 8mm f/1.8 fisheye lens is on loan to me from Olympus, and after using it just a bit, I’m pretty close to buying a copy for myself. That should give you an idea of what I think of it.
I had just sat down to begin processing an image of a starry sky and a faint Milky Way. I wondered, “How would Aurora HDR work on this?” After all, I hadn’t really heard of anyone using HDR for Milky
The short version Northern Hemisphere: Wait until “Milky Way season,” about April through October. Get away from light. Look south. Southern Hemisphere: Wait until “Milky Way season,” about September through March. Get away from light. Look high up. Short and
Luck sometimes favors the prepared. I had put all my ducks in a row. Back in July 2018, I had contacted Cal Tech to obtain permission to photograph Owens Valley Radio Telescope near Bishop, CA. They had contacted security to
You might be thinking, wha?!? How is this even possible? Well, with a little bit of Lightroom Classic and Photoshop magic by blending two exposures, you can create a magazine-worthy portrait with the Milky Way. Serge Ramelli shows us how

Photographing the Milky Way is remarkable because what you see on your camera is magnitudes more intricate than what you can visualize with your eyes. I was teaching a workshop in Montana the other day, and we took advantage of
