The tiny 1/2.3" sensor is just too small to deliver a decent photo with a 1mm physical aperture on the lens. I use the 28-30mm f 3.5-56 Nikkor for most but occasionally the 14-24 Nikkor f2. You would have to use a tracker and track the MW for a long long time with the shutter open, and even then the image would never compare to a decent APS-C camera setup. I am using Nikon D750 but any good camera will have an internal intervalometer. So poke a 1mm hole in a dark piece of paper, go outside after dark, place that paper over your eyes so you can only see through that tiny hole and what do you see? Not much! The physical aperture on that camera is way to small for decent night sky photography. The aperture on a lens is calculated by dividing the focal length by the f number, in the case of your GoPro Hero 4 Silver that is 3mm / f/2.8 = 1.07mm diameter. I don’t know what the results you got look like, you might post one or two, but I suspect it is probably on par with the best you can expect from this little camera. However, it’s certainly not yet time to replace your existing astrophotography gear for this pricey action camera. I guess no one else wants to answer so I’ll give you the bad news: A camera with a tiny sensor and a tiny camera will never be able to deliver great night sky photos. If you’re after something to set down at night to take a starry sky time-lapse while you’re busy with your main DSLR or mirrorless camera set-up, the new GoPro Hero9 Black is worth slipping into your pocket. When using Time Lapse Video, your camera’s battery runtime will be similar to recording Video in the same resolution.
Your final Time Lapse Video clip will playback at a smooth 30 FPS. Once everything is set up, press the top button to start shooting. This is expected the camera is working to capture time lapse footage, and as such, will populate the previewed image in increments. Set the settings, including interval time and other elements you want to refine.
I understand that it was JPGs as the Hero 4 does not shoot in RAW.Īny of you guys have some preferred settings and editing when using GoPros for the night sky? Press the ‘Settings’ button on the side of your GoPro. I got a lot of noise in my shots that i couldn't clean up well in LR. I honestly cannot remember all of the settings I used but I know I was at ISO 800. Way of mounting or affixing GoPro to wherever you want to capture the magic. I attempted a time lapse of the milky way in a very dark sky recently with with my hero 4 silver. My astro time-lapses has appeared in commercials, documentaries and even feature films with clients such as the BBC and National Geographic. I like using a really big one like 32 or 64gb so you just don't have to worry about running out of space as much.
