Milky Way Photography Tutorial - The COMPLETE Guide for Beginners

Milky Way photography is the most requested topic that I've ever gotten on this channel. I hope you can tell, this is also the most time I've put into 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 like multi-image blending. I made this course to be completely beginner friendly, but it also has a lot of tips for pro photographers along the way.
