Equipment for photographing the Milky Way

How And When To See Your Own Galaxy As The Milky Way Reaches Its Brightest  And Best Of 2020

Big angle

You are free to use the lens you prefer but a wide angle lens will allow you to achieve better landscape shots  as these lenses are designed to cover more of the scene. It is for this reason that in this discipline, you will obtain better results with a wide angle than with a lens of medium focal length.

Besides being a wide angle lens, to make sure that the entire Milky Way will appear in your photo, you will need a bright lens . Take into account that you will be working in almost complete darkness, and that in order to get a good photo it will be necessary to have a lens on hand that can catch all the light possible from the scene. Needless to say, you will have to leave your camera flash off.

Tripod

You should at least work with a shutter speed of 24 seconds, which doesn't seem like much but during this period the camera should have total stability because a single vibration can ruin a whole day of work. The camera needs time to recover as much light as possible because, as we have seen previously, the work is done in semi-darkness. It is for this reason that you will need to bring a tripod that will provide good stability to your camera. And if your tripod has a hook on the central column, do not hesitate to add extra weight to it, you will gain stability. Perfect for nights with heavy gusts of wind.

Below are some models of tripods that can be very useful if you want to photograph the Milky Way.

Trigger

This accessory is directly linked to what we have just commented on. If you are using an exposure time of around 24 seconds, it would be ideal if your equipment is stable and secure, without vibrations, when you press the shutter button because this action will transmit vibrations which could result in images. blurry.

To not waste an entire night's work, use a remote shutter release button with which you can control the camera setup without having to touch it.

Another option can be the Miops remote shutter release, an accessory with which you will not only be able to photograph the milky coie but also freeze the movement of shattering objects, lightning and much more. It has 7 working modes so as not to restrict your creativity.
