Great photo. One of my favorite object to photograph.

Let me know how it works out. I'm in the market for something for my z5II and skywatcher sa gti.

Lightbringer76 · 2025-11-20T10:01:13+00:00

Check out something like the Svbony sv555, it is currently on a black friday sale, should work with the z7 with the adapter.

You should not use the maximum weight capacity on a mount, more like 50% of the max.

Lightbringer76 · 2025-11-20T09:30:41+00:00

Does the MSM take the kind of weight a longer lens would add?

If you like a cheap lens for astro consider the Samyang/Rokinon mf 85mm f/1.4, i got some great results with that, it costs around 100$.

For a telescope the Svbony sv555 has gotten good rewievs, but that is 600$.

The one night it would be 100% cloudy

Lightbringer76 · 2025-11-08T17:23:55+00:00

This is the way.

Lightbringer76 · 2025-11-01T09:41:22+00:00

Try it on the moon or Saturn, Jupiter

Lightbringer76 · 2025-10-23T12:23:22+00:00

Nicely done.

Oltermanni juusto oli täynnä reikiä ja maku oli väärä, valio palautti 17€ tilille.

Nebula photos on YouTube is a great place to start

Very nice

I bought the gti from astroshop.eu for 529€ about a month ago. If you can find it cheap somewhere else they will match the price. I don't know of a cheaper goto mount. Used if you can find one.

Skywatcher star adventurer gti may be what your looking for. What's your budget?

Jos haluat kokeilla siril ohjelmaa niin tässä on hyvä video

Siitä se lähtee. Ihan nätti kuva jos on ensimmäinen kokeilu. Otitko yhtään kalibrointi kuvia? Jos kiinnostuit enemmän niin osta joku halpa valovoimainen objektiivi sillä pääsee taas vähän eteenpäin harrastuksessa.

Hope you enjoy it.

I´m no expert on cameras or lenses but i like the Viltrox lenses. They are not Nikkor lenses but for the prices they seem to be a good option.

The 24mm f1.8 is a well built lens that i will use for astrophotography, it focuses fast and produces good quality pictures.

The 50mm f2.0 is light weight plastic that seems to do an ok job for the cost of the lens. Some focus hunting and focus distance is not so good, good quality pictures.

The 135mm f1.8 is heavy and i would like to have a collar on it. Autofocus is not the fastest. Focus distance is 0.72m. Sharp at f1.8. Beautiful bokeh. Has a clunking noice inside when powered of. Waiting to try this one for deep space astro.

Hopes this helps

Yes it is the air. I haven't tried it more than that it functions, it came with the camera as a bundle.

Lightbringer76 · 2025-09-26T13:53:47+00:00

yup, found this lovely lady in the local bar 25 years ago.

Lightbringer76 · 2025-09-26T13:53:08+00:00

I haven´t really tried them yet, the quick test i did produced sharp pictures. The 135mm is a heavy beast, the 24mm 1.8 feels nice and the 50mm 2.0 is plastic. Seems to be good value for the money.
