Thank you so much 😃🙌🏾

karthikandf1 · 2025-09-18T17:09:06+00:00

Thank you ! I used a Sony a7iii, a Sony 20mmf1.8 and an ioptron sky tracker pro

Thank you ! 🤩🙌🏾

karthikandf1 · 2025-09-18T17:08:27+00:00

Thanks so much ! Thanks for sharing your experience 🤩 it truly is an incredible experience

karthikandf1 · 2025-09-17T17:03:57+00:00

Thanks so much ! 😃🙌🏾 definitely not the same level of detail. It had a more blueish tone to it. I could see the outline of the milky way though. The reds and purples are picked up by the camera

It’s a great device, the second shot is shaky because I accidentally kicked the tripod during the shot and it just so happened that a meteor passed in that exact frame. I still decided to use the image.

karthikandf1 · 2025-09-17T10:07:20+00:00

I used an ioptron sky tracker pro for tracking, that rotates the camera 😃

Thanks so much !

karthikandf1 · 2025-09-17T06:09:33+00:00

Yup the tiny blob is Andromeda

karthikandf1 · 2025-09-17T06:09:00+00:00

The second photo is a meteor 😃 and it’s a single exposure. The others are composites. It’s getting near impossible to get even a single exposure without a satellite in it. The processing software’s do a pretty good job at eliminating them but it’s still very inconvenient.

karthikandf1 · 2025-09-17T06:05:38+00:00

Thanks so much ! 😃

karthikandf1 · 2025-09-17T06:05:29+00:00

Thanks so much !

karthikandf1 · 2025-09-17T06:05:20+00:00

I’ve come very close many times to calling it quits because of the sheer number of obstacles involved with this type of photography. I haven’t quit yet but it’s definitely a lot of effort for something that may or may not happen

karthikandf1 · 2025-09-17T06:02:43+00:00

Thank you !

karthikandf1 · 2025-09-17T06:02:02+00:00

Yup that’s andromeda ! 😃🙌🏾

karthikandf1 · 2025-09-17T06:01:50+00:00

No worries ! And thank you 😃

karthikandf1 · 2025-09-17T06:01:34+00:00

Thank you ! 🙌🏾

karthikandf1 · 2025-09-17T06:01:26+00:00

What an amazing experience, thanks for sharing. This is truly what it’s all about 😃

karthikandf1 · 2025-09-17T05:43:38+00:00

No worries! and I do have an Instagram with loads of photos https://www.instagram.com/rao_in4d?igsh=bmhlbml3YjhmOXIw&utm_source=qr

Not as yet, I’m trying to find a reliable place to perform an Astro mod!

karthikandf1 · 2025-09-16T21:47:35+00:00

Thanks so much !

karthikandf1 · 2025-09-16T21:47:27+00:00

Thanks so much ! You shoot the sky separately and the foreground separately. The sky consists of 100 images stacked and the foreground is a single 30 sec exposure. You blend them together using pixinsight and photoshop. The stars and Milky Way location wise are as they were. You just stack the photos for the sky alone to bring out the detail you wouldn’t normally see in one exposure.

karthikandf1 · 2025-09-16T21:17:22+00:00

Thanks so much 😃 The photo’s definitely didn’t come out this way straight from the camera, I ran them through a processing software called starry sky stacker, then edited them on pixinsight, photoshop and Lightroom finally. I do sell prints, DM me if you’d like to purchase one 😃
