Star Tracked sky

Post by timuss »

My first night out with my new star tracker and luckily some reasonably clear sky. Really amazed at the detail i can get out of the sky with just a single exposure of 60 seconds, even getting the Milky Way making an appearance as the night drew on before i called it a night. Not perfect but not to bad for a first attempt i quite pleased with how it came out.

Nice.

It's scary when you're completely away from any ambient light & you see just how many stars show up in your pictures.

Any luck catching / tracking Comet NEOWISE? We went out last night in an attempt to catch it ourselves, but no joy.

Saw what we believed to be the ISS though, so not a wasted night.

Thanks yeah its great fun seeing what you can get from the sky, the beauty of a star tracker you can shoot lower ISO and get so much more detail and for longer shutter speeds.

No i havent been out for Neowise the weather hasn't been kind plus working etc.. sadly may try this week before it departs for good.
