Milky Way photography is the most requested topic I've ever covered on this channel. I hope you can see, this is also the most time I've spent making a video!

By the end of this tutorial, you'll know exactly how to photograph the Milky Way with any equipment. It covers everything from camera settings to advanced astrophotography techniques such as multi-image blending. I created this course to be completely beginner-friendly, but it also has plenty of tips for professional photographers along the way.
