ANDROMEDA GALAXY with only a Camera, Lens, & Tripod

Sir I'm from india and due to our education system which concentrates mainly on marks and exams rather than applications and practicals, I find very little time for my hobbies,People like you and your work inspires me...

I came here by random chance and stayed for like 2 hours analyzing every detail lol. I am not even related to your profession and I had no idea about this process, but it's just admirable the time, dedication, effort, and energy you put through to astonish us with such outstanding results

Can you see the passion sparkling in his eyes during the short introduction speech about time travel... Man this gave me chills. Being guided through my first steps in astrophotography by a so talented and so passionate person is just fantastic. Thank you for this !!!

I've been a photographer for forty years and never knew anything about this! You've just added another goal I'd hope to achieve before I eventually fall off this little rock. Fascinating stuff and brilliantly explained.

I travelled forward in time one hour just by watching this video.

This is one of the best astrophotography how-to videos on YouTube. It’s like a entry level course on astrophotography with an extra, advanced image processing class added as a bonus. He shows how to create amazing photos with equipment most photographers already have or can get used for a reasonable cost. The only exception to this is Photoshop, which is the focus of the last 20 minutes, but you can do much of what he describes using GIMP. Truly an excellent “must see” for anyone (like me) who wants to take their astrophotography to the next level.

Great step-by-step tutorial. I accidentally shot Andromeda when I was messing around with long exposures last Sept with a Canon 5D2 and a 28mm f2.8 just before getting a bone marrow transplant. I was blown away when I realized how visible Andromeda was later on in Lightroom. Hard to believe that its home to a trillion stars. Thanks for showing us how possible it is to capture such awesomeness!

This guys is amazing.Clear, calm, engaging and loaded with information presentation. It is hard to find a professor who would deliver at this level. Great. I am excited about doing it myself.

This is the best A-to-Z tutorial I have yet encountered! Congratulations and many thanks.

Man, that was mind blowing stuff. I really am speechless. The amount of time you took to first learn it yourself, then apply it in practice, not even taking into account the countless hours you spent on perfecting your technique, and then having the patience to make a detailed video for us. I've got mad respect for your passion sir. Thank you very much. I'm gonna try it after I find a suitable location for a dark sky.

The most detailed explanation from start to finish hands down. Other astro photographers just show you their pictures but never show the process from beginning, software used, settings, equipment settings etc. You share your passion but also teach others.

I'm completely new to astrophotography and this video is so detailed and answers so many questions I had about taking photos of the night sky. I can't wait to give this a try sometime soon. The amount of time you must have spent understanding both the camera and the stars is commendable. Thank you for your amazing videos!

This is the best astrophotography video tutorial out there. You covered almost every aspect needed to create this awesome photos. Thanks so much.

This video alone can teach you astrophotography basics. I watched it 5 times and it boosted my astro images by amount i would never believe a 1 video tutorial could. Thank you Nico.

I jumped to the end at the start to see what kind of output you were able to achieve with stacking alone and then I had to watch the rest to find out at what point in the process you made a deal with the devil lol. From straight out of DSS and the initial stretch to the final image is an insane glow up! I’ll definitely be revisiting this to polish up my color balance and gradient minimizing techniques. Awesome work!

Omg this video is gonna be a lifesaver to my boredom in quarantine

Excellent tutorial. This is so helpful, seeing the whole process explained clearly. My camera however just gave me side eye, hearing the plan for 1200 shots tomorrow

Absolutely fantastic tutorial! Makes me run out and take photos right now and then apply all the steps that you talked about in this video. This is the best astrophotography tutorial there is - no questions asked.

As someone just starting out on my astro journey, this video is priceless. Thank you so much for all the steers and tips.

Congratulations Andreas, this video is fantastic for two reasons, simplicity and amazing result, great! I learned more in this video than in a thousand others that were poorly explained and impractical. See you soon
