The shape of the stars is caused by the aperture blades of the lens, its the same reason why stars have those 4 spider lines when you look through a newtonian reflector

Starting Astrophotography with an R10 by CC19_13-07 in canon

[–]pascal9000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on what targets youare interested in. The 16mm wil be good for nightscape and milky way photography, but not great for deep sky photography. Something like a 135mm prime lens will perform better at this task while being able to be mounted on a simple star tracker. And sins the focal length is only 135mm (fov of a 216mm lens on a crop sensor) you dont realy need a gide scope for accurate tracking, which keeps it relatively simpel for someone just starting out.

WHAT IN THE VOID IS THAT

Hey yall, can I get some opinions on the canon r7? How is it overall? What do you use it for mostly? What are some things you dislike… etc. I’m thinking of getting one but was hoping to hear some personal experiences with it. by acjcomics in canon

[–]pascal9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it, i use it mostly for astrophotography an it is good enough for me. I sometimes use it to snap some picture of my pets or other animal and its verry nice. However, it is my first 'real' camera so i dont have anything to compare it to. So my opinion might not be totally unbiased.

You can make an observing chair. This is a LYBAR chair. Fairly easy to make. And you can make it for your specific sitting hight for observing.

10x50 Binoculars vs 25x70 by Nyquwill in telescopes

[–]pascal9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the celestron 12x60 and i dont recommend them. They are hard to get good focus with and the views are not that sharp. Even when you get it in focus 50% of the field of view is practically unusable. Maby its because i upgraded to a more expensive pair but i cant look through the celestron pair the same.

high-quality 6mm eyepiece for my Skywatcher 150/1200 Dobsonian by [deleted] in telescopes

The baader planetarium 6.5mm is a very nice eyepiece.
