We’re Talkin’ Milky Way Techniques with Bob Coates

Getting out to photograph the Milky Way is a lot like playing a 4D chess game. There are lots of moving pieces for which to account. In this webinar we’ll take a quick look at the type of gear you can get away with using and what type of gear would be ideal if you really want to seriously pursue photography of the night skies. There are many APPS that can help in the quest. APPS to locate the Milky Way and plan your shoot including foreground. Weather is a big player in night sky photography and there are a number of APPS that are quite accurate. After you come in there is the processing of images which is a huge part of the finished image.
