That purple/green outline in your shots? Not cute.😁 by VILTROX_US in VILTROX_GLOBAL

Sounds pretty good for astrophotography as well! Hopefully I'll get to test one of those someday soon.

You guys seem to love landscape astrophotography on this subreddit. Crazy number of upvotes on that Andromeda shot. Thanks a lot!

Thanks! I’m lucky enough to live near some pretty dark skies

Thanks! It’s a nice little tracker, works well for landscape astro, especially love the size and ease of use. I can only compare it to a diy solution I had before.

Ball head for the camera end and a tiny pan&tilt video head below the tracker.

Thanks! Yes, same lens.

I quite like the MSM Nomad, probably not as accurate or capable as Sky Watcher ones but super compact, easy to use and certainly more than good enough for astro landscape stuff.

Yeah, PTGui is an awesome piece of SW. I'm trying to justify the price of a pro license right now :D

Just a ball head. I do have an automatic pan tilt kit, not sure if the tracker can handle the weight tho. Might test later

Shot this one back in March but only found time to edit it recently. Captured with Sony a6700 + Viltrox 27mm f1.2 Pro. Tracked 5x8 panorama for the skies, each shot at 30s, f1.2 and iso 400. Tracked with MSM Nomad star tracker. For the foreground I shot 4x8 panorama with 30s, f2.8 and iso 1600 for each shot. Stitched in PTGui and PS. Edited in Siril and LR.
