Highly recommend Nico Carver (Nebula Photos) especially if you're interested in DIY or the more creative/artistic aspects.

Another great one is Cuiv The Lazy Geek. Very prolific and technical. He produces amazing images from light polluted Tokyo.

FYI: the si parameter is used for tracking purposes.


ugh thanks. I didn't see that when I pasted. I hate how apps will not give you clean share links.


I'd add that many of the people on that list are active in the /r/astrophotography discord. Good place to hang out and learn.
