SONY A6000 ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY REVIEW Sony a6000 with the Sony E 20mm f/2.8 Pancake Lens. Handling completely changes if you mount a big lens to the a6000. The camera feels a bit imbalanced when, for example, mounted with the fairly large Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 (Full Review). Furthermore, the mount of the a6000 uses the older, half plastic version of the E mount. LAOWA 15MM F/2 FE ZERO-D LENS ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY REVIEWSEE MORE ONLONELYSPECK.COM
TUTORIALS – LONELY SPECK Lonely Speck on the Pragmatic Podcast. I just had a great time talking about all kinds of astrophotography topics with John Chidgey on the latest episode of the Pragmatic Podcast. In this nearly 2 hour episode, we discuss star trackers, near infrared h-alpha astrophotography, light pollution filters, focusing techniques andpost-processing
THE BEST METHOD OF DEFISHING A FISHEYE PHOTO 1. Open the photo in Photoshop and adjust the canvas size. The first thing we need to do is adjust the canvas size so that the file has a vertical orientation. In Photoshop choose: Image>Canvas Size. In the Canvas Size dialogue, choose the Anchor location based on the positionof the horizon.
PURENIGHT® PREMIUM LIGHT POLLUTION REDUCTION FILTER BY PureNight is a premium glass light pollution reduction filter designed by Lonely Speck. Made of a special didymium glass, PureNight reduces the transmission of light from sodium vapor lamps, one of the most prevalent sources of light pollution on our planet. Resulting images will have truer colors and improved contrast when compared to images HOW TO PROCESS MILKY WAY ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY IN ADOBE Set it to 3900 K in your camera or in Adobe Lightroom and it will probably be pretty close. A “good” white balance should give you the best differentiation between the colors of light pollution, airglow and star color and this technique of first pushing the saturation is a very fast way to achieve that result. PHOTOGRAPHING THE MILKY WAY WITH A POINT AND SHOOT: A FIVE It features a 1″ sensor and a fast f/1.8 lens which should be good for low-light. It’s the smallest of the bunch and one of the only cameras here that can be called truly pocketable. It has a lot of features any photographer would enjoy: a tilting LCD, a pop-up MEDIUM FORMAT ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY WITH PANORAMA STITCHING Nodal Ninja NN6. The Nodal Ninja NN6 is a full-featured panorama head that offers detents for both horizontal (5°, 7.5°, 10°, 15°, 18°, 30°, 36°, 45°, 60°, 90°) and vertical (7.5°) axes. It’s notable that the NN6’s vertical axis does not have an adjustable detent range, instead clicking every 7.5 degrees. LIST OF LARGE SENSOR CAMERAS WITH BUILT IN Timelapse photography complements night photography well since we’re typically dealing with long shutter speeds and using techniques that require lots of exposures, such as image stacking.The easiest way to make a timelapse is to buy an accessory intervalometer for your camera but I don’t always like carrying a bunch of gear around and an intervalometer is just an extra piece of equipment.

STAR EATER: DOCUMENTATION OF AN ISSUE WITH THE SONY This article includes documentation of the so-called “Star Eater” issue with certain Sony cameras and long exposures of the night sky. Update October, 2020: FUJIFILM X-T1 ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY REVIEW Larger DSLR design so it’s a bit too heavy on such a small camera. The Fujifilm version above is better and more compact albeit more expensive. Rokinon 16mm f/2.0. Larger DSLR design so it’s also too heavy on the X-T1 but provides excellent performanceLONELY SPECK
