SharpStar Precision Focusing Tool by Lonely Speck


Join us in field as we shoot some night photos of the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains and the Alabama Hills with the use of our precision focusing tool for astrophotography, the SharpStar2.

Focusing at night can still be a big challenge when photographing at night and the SharpStar2 is a tool that can make a huge difference in the process and boost confidence and reliability of focus. To demonstrate the SharpStar2 for this video, Diana and I traveled out to one of our all time favorite spots: Alabama Hills, California to shoot some photos of the Milky Way and really put the SharpStar2 to the test.
