Pax2You Goldmember  More info Post edited over 7 years ago by Pax2You. | I did have the camera and lens combo set up on my zeq25gt mount. I've never owned a telescope. I processed using CS2 and Lightroom 5.7. I kept the ISO to 800 so no dark frames were used. This is a 6min exposure with a 60sec exposure layered on top.

Nov 26, 2015 10:09 | #5468 For astrophotography you would do better to have some sort of mount to counteract the rotation of the Earth. Otherwise you'll end up with star trails. This could be a home-made barn door tracker, motorized equatorial mount, astrotrac, or one of the ultracompact units sold for widefield imaging.

smythie I wasn't even trying More info | Dec 01, 2015 06:17 | #5470 These guys were making a racket this evening (they're still going at it a few hours later). Manually focussed pot shots in near pitch dark, fortunately didn't take too many to get a couple in focus

HoneyMonster Senior Member More info | Dec 19, 2015 16:34 | #5475 This was a tricky lunch for this egret. Several times it appeared to have swallowed its prey, only for it to reappear. It got its meal in the end. Taken using Canon 2x III.  Image hosted by forum (765190) © Honey Monster [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.
