We're frequently asked about different astronomy filters and how they affect nightscape images.  Here's a set of images using different combinations of the most common filters and the results.

All images were captured using a Visible + H-Alpha Astromodified Canon EOS R5 Mark II and a Sigma Art 14mm f:1.8 lens. Camera, Lens, and filters were provided by Spencer's Camera and Photo. The foreground was captured using the Visible + H-Alpha modified camera with no filters. The sky portion was captured using various filter combinations to show the effect of each filter. All sky images were tracked using a Benro Polaris. Image processing was performed using Adobe Photoshop and PixInsight.

I’ve been testing the new GoPro Mission 1 Pro for several months now under a non-disclosure agreement.

I’m so excited to finally show you images from this little camera!

It has a new 1” sensor and amazing low-light performance. While it won’t completely replace my full-frame prosumer mirrorless, it will definitely be my second camera for quick nightscapes, timelapses, amazing video, and BTS content.

This camera is a huge jump from the Hero 13 Black!

SPECIAL DISCOUNT: Images from the Mission 1 series were not supposed to be released until May 21st, but GoPro has given me special permission for our Nightscaper channel AND a 10% off Promo Code (nightscaper10) for pre-orders made before May 21. You’ll also get a free Point-and-Shoot Grip (valued at $99.99). Shipping for the Mission 1 and Mission 1 Pro is slated to begin on May 28. Pre-orders are not yet available for the Mission 1 Pro ILS (Interchangeable Lens System).

Go to @gopro and click on “gopro.com/MISSION1” in their bio.

Use the “nightscaper10” Promo Code in the “payment” section to reduce your price when pre-ordering.

You can also learn more about shooting with the MISSION 1 series in my Patreon: www.patreon.com/roycebair

Southern Lights - New Zealand

You could see the flares with the naked eye, no colour though, and this is wide angle to obtain the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds, so Aurora looks very minuscule!

But it was 16 years ago I first shot them in the Northern Hemisphere, so a bit of a bucket list night, just cannot believe it’s taken so long 🫤💫.

Starlight highway 💫

Some places just hit different at night 🙌🏽

On a recent mission with the bro @shadowandshadenz would be rude not to stop at the starlight highway sign and kill the engine… nothing but silence, cold air, and a sky doing its thing overhead.

No rush, no noise… just stood there taking it in while the stars slowly took over.

Haven’t explored much around this area and look forward to getting back there soon 📸

New Zealand Night Skies

Finishing up a Bolivia tour, getting a bug off the Santiago - Auckland flight, then a huge run of clear night skies, whilst also constantly moving accommodation on the drive down from Auckland to Queenstown (though still not reached Queenstown) has been tough, age is definitely catching up.

But it’s left no time for editing so I quickly put this together this morning, needs cleaning and this was the 2nd attempt, 2 nights on the bounce as I messed up the first night; I also left this camera here and another about 20km away whilst going to a 3rd location and working camera 3! Not sure I’ll ever get everything edited from this South America & NZ trip.

Dreaming of the stars…..

At the @nightscaperconference in Farmington, NM. Can’t wait to shoot the night skies here. Meanwhile, here’s a recap of what I captured in @archesnps in March with @spencerscamera .
It was wonderful running into @roycebairphoto at the conference and seeing many familiar faces form the @nightphotosummit

Shot as always with my @canonusa EOSR8 using @sigmaphoto 14mm f1.8 lens
