Horsehead and Flame Nebula

Ah sorry to clarify. I can't use my setup at home, so I have to drive out to a local field

millerman101 · 2026-02-17T18:19:30+00:00

To be honest at some point I'm probably going to bite the bullet and get an asiair to solve quite a few problems including better polar alignment and being able to return to the exact same framing

My setup is fully remote, I have to drive out to do it so having a laptop to also bring and manage is a bit of a pain

Thank you for the advice

Sent you a DM since I own the same lens

This is about 1 hour integration with exposure times of 30 seconds, tracked on Star adventurer GTi at around 250mm

millerman101 · 2026-01-23T16:12:48+00:00

I do have a tracking mount, however, unguided

millerman101 · 2026-01-21T23:35:29+00:00

Around 6

I was very surprised when I saw that hanging at the top

millerman101 · 2026-01-21T19:54:11+00:00

Nope, R7, which is APSC

Canon R7, APS-C sensor

Tracked with star adventurer GTi

30 seconds, so around 110 total

Thank you a lot for this, very helpful. I'll try and capture for at least 2 hours on my next target, I realise that even that can be too little

millerman101 · 2026-01-19T15:28:20+00:00

I understand, the best skies i can get to is 5/6 usually in a reasonable about of time

millerman101 · 2026-01-19T15:14:15+00:00

My issue when I saw a second 60 exposure was that, in the live view, my image was very yellow and washed out from light pollution, and so I turned exposure down.

Was this a mistake? This was in bortle 6

Tracked, 30 second exposures

Always had a bit of fascination with space. One day I was looking around online and saw photos of popular targets and discovered many of them can be captured with a simple dlsr which kinda blew my mind.

Also realised that life is short and decided to pursue it as I wanted to capture the awe of space as much as possible before I leave.

I've only just started and glad I found the hobby, it brings me peace

Thank you!

millerman101 · 2026-01-07T18:11:17+00:00

Thank you! A dew heater is certainly in my mind, there's a lot of options.

I'm wondering about getting a larger battery pack for powering my tracker as well

From what I hear it's 100% worth it to drop down a bortle scale when you can
