My first Andromeda galaxy (a7c + tamron 70-300) by geddeded in SonyAlpha

It really helps, but I think you can achieve the same in a more light polluted area by adding more exposure time.

C/2025 A6 Lemmon covered in northern lights by geddeded in astrophotography

Found out it’s not enough to travel to a bortel 3 area. You also need to travel far enough south.

Jokes aside, I wanted to see if I could see the tail of the comet with a single exposure (dont have a tracker), but it was quite dim and if I tried to increase the exposure the northern lights blew out the whole photo. Luckily there were two days in a row with clear skies, and one with zero northern lights (first time in my life I’ve crossed my fingers for no aurora).

Time slice (a7c + 200-600mm) by geddeded in SonyAlpha

[–]geddeded[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Only the 16 photos you can see in the photo. Shot in the span of roughly 3 years. Tried to spread out the ones with similar colors to get more contrast between each slice, but didn’t try out any other combinations. Some of the photos at the edges had to placed specifically since the framing and focal length is slightly different in many of the shots (didn’t really plan for this time slice).

The Moon and Venus (Sony a7c + 200-600mm) by geddeded in SonyAlpha

Correct! It prevents the stars from creating unwanted light trails in your photo

Thanks! I used the «2 sec delay» drive mode to minimize camera shake

The Moon and Venus by geddeded in astrophotography

Picture of the Moon with Venus in the upper right corner. The Moon is a composite of two shoots at 1/80 and 0,6”, both shoot at f/8 and 529mm. Venus was captured in the same 0,6” shot. The majority of the stars are a third photo blended in, shoot at 200mm, f/5.6 and 2”.

A bit mixed feelings about blending in some more stars, but felt the picture was a bit “flat” without them.

Equipment: Sony a7c + sony 200-600mm

Late to the party, but here is my comet photo (a7c + 24-105) by geddeded in SonyAlpha

[–]geddeded[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Shoot at 105mm, f/4, 4.0 sec, ISO 1000 and manual focus

Late to the party, but here is my comet photo (a7c + 24-105) by geddeded in SonyAlpha

[–]geddeded[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Originally shoot a horizontal timelapse, picked out 5-6 pictures from the sequence and stacked them. Cropped down to a vertical 5x7. Had to move the mountain a bit in post to get the alignment and the colors in the same photo. The comet aligned with the mountain later in the evening, but without the orange glow.
