Milky Way Pano Using a Star Tracker - Sedona, AZ Part I

I travelled to Sedona, Arizona to make a panoramic image of the milky way arch over Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte using a Star Watcher Star Adventurer 2i star tracker. In this video I go through the process of capturing the photos to create a panoramic image of the milky way. This is part 1 of 2.

Part 2 on post processing can be viewed here:    • Milky Way Pano Using a Star Tracker -...

During the video I reference a couple of other very helpful videos that I recommend you should check out.

Kamil Pekala's Video on shooting a pano of the milky way using a star tracker:
Part 1:    • How to shoot a MILKY WAY PANORAMA wit...  
Part 2:    • Milky Way panoramas on a star tracker...  

The Light Explorer's Video on setting up and polar aligning the Star Adventurer 2i:
Part 1:    • Part I | COMPLETE Setup Guide for Sky...  
Part 2:    • Part II | ULTIMATE Guide to SA Consol...  

Both of these are excellent videos and I highly recommend watching them.

I used the Kase Starglow filter by Alyn Wallace. It works really well and I like the effect that it creates. The filter makes the bright stars bigger and brighter while making the small dimmer stars fainter. At this time the filter must to be ordered from Kase in the UK. While you can find some Kase Starglow filters on Amazon or B&H but they are not the same filter and do not give the same effect.
