So nice to see someone using a camera that is actually something most people can get/afford and not some $3k camera with professional lenses and all. brilliant job

When I was in Iraq, I could look up and see so many stars at night. There was basically no light pollution. It was amazing. I also used to look up with night vision goggles and despite the kinda fuzzy quality, it was absolutely amazing.

My favorite channels are of people doing things they absolutely love doing with a passion, and I can say I have never seen anyone love what they do like you. Love your content man!

It's funny, when you mentioned that Orion is probably the first thing we look to in the night sky, that's exactly right for me.

When I was a kid, in Denmark, I could so often see Orion from my bedroom window at night and it was somehow always majestic. I now live in Australia and while Orion is now upside-down, I spot him as an old friend.

Amazing video!

You are living your passion man… i can only respect that! You really got it, i wish you all the best

For the Canon, instead of putting something in front of the lens, just set up a timer for like 3 or 5 seconds, then the image will only be taken after it has stopped jittering.

IT WAS WONDERFUL!
KEEP DOING STUFF THAT YOU LOVE DAMON!

I just randomly had your video show up in my YouTube feed and let me say, I am glad it did! You're videos are super well done, easy to understand and I love that you are showing folks like me what they can do within realistic budgets! I am falling down your channels rabbit hole and loving every minute of it!

My career was in crime scene investigation and low light photography was always a challenge. Camera shake was a problem. The lens cap covering technique is one method, but there are two others that can reduce camera shake from wind. First is to lower the tripod head so that you don’t have the camera sitting at the end of the pole. The second is to not extend the legs all the way and to only use the heavy extensions of the legs. Hope this helps!

Damon, big fan here! Keep up the good work.

You know what would be awesome? An astronomy course! 🌟

I'm speechless how you show everything so simple and really in a budget of almost everyone.
I really like your altitude and how you explain thinks.
My best regards.

Once again you absolutely capture the excitement all of us amateur astronomers have when we sit beneath the night sky. No matter if with our own eyes, binos or high price telescope setup ... its those moments when we realize that we just looking at light thousands, 10000 or even million years old which are simply breathtaking.

[TimeMeddler]

What an excellent and informative video. Also, your enthusiasm is infectious. I have been into amateur astronomy since the 1970s when Sir Patrick moore inspired me and your video is the best thing I’ve seen for ages. Thanks very much. 👍

[elj.r]

This video should have more views . Please share !!! I'm fascinated with astronomy, the recently discoveries made want to look for more everyday and I can't believe how big we are in such a young galaxy

[alantorrance]

Thank you for an amazing introduction to a new branch of Astro-photography. Makes me want to look again at the possibility of budget telescopes and equipment.

[jacklawson]

Excellent, I'm just getting in to astrophotography and now have even more enthusiasm for it. Thanks again for all your hard work and content. Look forward to the next one!

[sdbdub]

This was the most fascinating video I've seen all week. I love photography, but it's been awhile since I've done any shooting. But your analysis of how far you can take a picture with a "average" camera is beyond reproach! At first at the beginning of the video I was thinking why are you so "bright"..and then my almost long lost aperture knowledge came back to me. Great video..well worth the 21 minutes!!!

[Jnanabase]

So dedicated to astronomy, your joy brings me joy

[jamesedwardcollins]

Absolutely loved the fact your giving info on cameras and the subjects of your photos. I was watching this because I want to get into astrophotography and you taught me alot more then just about setups

[nikolay_hranov]

I really kove astrophotography. It is literally the only think that can make me not sleep and it is doing it. I love it. Really good video!
