Capture the Atlas Academy

Tired of getting low-quality Milky Way photos?

Take your Milky Way Photography to infinity & beyond!

Master the skills it takes to create breathtaking images of the Milky Way – whether you’re a total beginner or an experienced photographer.

From planning and composition, through to shooting techniques and post-processing, Milky way photography requires knowledge and experience in many different areas.

However, this is not as easy as it seems…

You have probably already purchased a good camera and lens, watched countless tutorials and Milky Way photography videos on YouTube, and tried your best in post-processing to create a compelling image.

And yet you’re not getting the same results as some of the best Milky Way images that you see online, and you tell yourself:

My camera gear is not good enough – I need a better camera/lens

My images are noisy and have a feeling of low-quality

The focus in my images is off – I can’t get pinpoint stars

I feel lost in post-processing, I just tweak adjustments hoping for the best

The colors in my Milky Way look unrealistic

I got a tracker but I don’t know how to use it

My blendings look unnatural and distract the viewer’s eye

I already know post-processing but my images are lacking something

I struggle with tracking the complete Milky Way Arch

If you are identified with any of the above statements, don’t worry, I’ve been there too.

I know how frustrating can be to spend so much time and energy not seeing any better results.

I started shooting the Milky Way many years ago. At first, my images were terrible, they had a ridiculous amount of noise and the quality was very poor.

With time and practice, I managed to get cleaner images, with more quality and much better results:

However, my images were still lacking something; I couldn’t get the amount of detail, richness of color, and the impact that I was looking for.

That’s when I realized that, if I wanted to improve, I had to immerse myself in this genre.

I.

I learnt how to plan using the best apps, topographic maps, and astronomy tools.

II.

I studied composition and doggedly analyzed why the best Milky Way images worked.

III.

I researched the best gear in the market and got my first star-tracker; the single and most important game-changer in my Milky Way photography.

Iv.

I spent hundreds of hours in the field testing the best adjustments and shooting techniques.

V.

…and hundreds of hours in the studio learning complex astronomy post-processing techniques and implementing them in my workflow in an easy way.

After this, I managed to capture what I was looking for; images with an impactful composition, with 0 digital noise, showing all the details, nebulae, and natural colors in the Milky Way:

This was an arduous and long process that took me years to learn, develop, and adapt.

Today I want to make this accessible to everyone. Milky Way photography is one of the most exciting, moving, and rewarding types of photography, and everybody should have the opportunity to capture the best possible images in an easy way, regardless of the skills and without any astronomy knowledge.

That’s why I created:
