In this video post, I talk about the gear I decided to bring on a short overnight trip to Trona Pinnacles, California.

Let’s take a look at a pretty typical kit that I use for astrophotography.

I don’t typically use filters for the type of astrophotography you see on Lonely Speck. Filtering for specific wavelengths of light is a common practice for astronomy and deep sky imaging. But most filters made specifically for astrophotography tend to be very specialized and very expensive. Luckily, there’s an option for those on a tight budget: the Hoya (Red) Intensifier (Red Enhancer RA54) Filter. In this short review, we test out the Hoya Intensifier while shooting the Milky Way from Trona Pinnacles, California.
This July, we’ll be traveling to Trona Pinnacles National Natural Landmark in California for a night of camping and astrophotography. Won’t you join us?
