Did my first milky way shots last night, battled some horrible conditions with the wind and me not knowing what I was doing but went from having photos hardly being able to see the milky way to being able to see it clearly, gained a sub, thank you so much!

This is a beautifully more natural looking galaxy shot

Great tip on using the linear gradient to as a subtraction tool. Thanks Michael!

[actiaint]

Thank you, that linear gradient to soften mask is a great tip 🙂

A simple and effective way to edit the milky way, but the use of dehaze simplifies the processing of the sky and the core of the milky way. It's my opinion since the idea seems to be simplification. Good job.

Awesome very helpful took my first Milky Way shots at Arches this week.

Good and helpful tutorial for this night sky newbie. Went camping earlier this week where less light pollution than home. Could not believe I actually photographed the Milky Way! Now, to edit .

[cmichaelhaugh]

Thanks again Michael. Very timely as I’m headed out again tonight to shoot some Milky Way images.

Always worth to watch your episodes. Thank you so much.

[TheOnlyGuess]

Thanks dude...I really miss photographing the Milky way

[ilesmic]

I was glad you did that bit at the end with the Air Glow-- It had been bothering me during the video-- kept saying what is that weird green cast-- Great Job

[MajesticFlights]

Great video Michael. It’s interesting though you and I use totally different process and techniques to process Milky Way.

[markcampbell]

Thanks for the video. Think that I now need to go back and rewatch my Milky Way Made Easy course since I probably forgot a couple of those great tips!

[fototripper]

Brilliant tutorial mate. Was that a skit? I thought you were serious?

[doxfie.]

dehaze works wonders for developing the milky way core and the airglow. 6:47 by leaving amount at 40 and masking at 0 you are sharpening the noise (which then gets softened by denoise). not convinced in your course.

great video Michael! I was wondering, weren't you in Italy like a month ago? I thought we might get a video from there 🙊

Your comment about the high ISO image of the Sony’s S camera also applies to Sony high megapixel cameras not just Nikon or Canon

You missed your calling dude! You should have been an actor!!  I'm assuming that was
