Starting Astrophotography? Here are my recommendations (YouTube) for Astrophotography and Astronomy

-

You must have been visited many websites and viewed many YouTube videos regarding astrophotography and astronomy but you might not have found trustworthy blogs or YouTube videos/channels to rely on. This is today's internet world problem. A lot of information is available on everything but is it legit or not. We can't say!


I might not be able to give you a good suggestion in other things but I can recommend you some really good YouTube sources regarding astrophotography and astronomy, to get inspired.


Here are my three YouTube recommendations


Star Stuff


Star Stuff is owned by Dylan O'Donnell, an Australian Astrophotographer. I love the way he explains things and stays very honest with his opinions. He don't care whether you liked his advice or not, he will say his words. You will feel very friendly vibe on his channel.



Dylan has a very deep sense of astrophotography and related equipment. He is also working with Celestron. He has covered all the basics to complex topics in his channel. I like the variety and relatability of the content. His astrophotography also got featured by NASA and ESA.



Astro Backyard


Astro Backyard is getting popular among beginners on Youtube for astrophotography. This is Trevor Jones's channel, an ametuer astrophotographer. He is showing his whole process of taking deep sky objects like Galaxies, Nebulae, Globular Clusters etc in his channel. He also has various tutorial videos on editing celestial objects.




Trevor is a very passionate guy and has his own way of learning things. He is totally into Astrophotography these days. I like his hard work and the way he is continuously producing good content for learners on YouTube. He has a very good setup for observing the night sky at his home, a dome, many big tubes and many mounts.



Nebula Photos


Nebula Photos channel is very "to the point" like my suggestions Haha and a very beginners friendly channel. It's a great place to start your astronomy/astrophotography journey. This channel is owned by Nico Carver. He is also an ametuer astrophotographer. You will understand many basic and complex topics from him and he is really very good at explaining things.




All above mentioned recommendations are equally good. There is nothing like "this one is best or that one". All are great sources of learning new things in astronomy/astrophotography. Also, No matter where you are on your astro journey, you will definitely learn something new every time from these guys. I am also learning and I will always learn from them. Keep my name in your mind, if you will find my recommendations useful Haha. Thanks for reading.

Telescope is one of the finest, underrated and remarkable inventions, according to me. It's a bridge between known and unknown Universe. You don't need any electricity or battery power to run this. You just see through it whenever you want. Hi, I am Yatin. I love stargazing and astrophotography.

In India, Hobbies are not much appreciated. I mean, you will not get your stuff for hobbies easily in the market except a few common hobbies like painting/drawing, for that everything is available in stationary shops. But for hobbies like stargazing, astrophotography you need some equipment and for that you will see very few offline options and many non-authentic expensive online options. It’s not a serious business in India, not even on Amazon. I will tell you why. On Amazon, you will find various telescopes but all those are overpriced and have very limited stock to choose from. But don't worry, I will tell you two authentic offline cum online stores where you will get a lot of choices. I rely on these websites/stores for my astro needs. I researched and read a lot when I was going to purchase my first telescope and I found these two stores doing serious business in it. So, here are the options. GoScientifics (Call/Whatsapp +91-9790203011) First one is GoScientifics ( https:/...
