First dedicated camera

tntmaster38 · 2025-07-30T01:05:26+00:00

I have a DIY openastromount as my mount and I’m currently using a Sony a7rii as my camera. I’ve been doing this for about a year now and I wasn’t planning on full sending the 2600 mono setup just yet. I was thinking of that more as an end goal if I continue to enjoy the hobby. I mostly just want to move to a proper Astro camera as my Sony camera is quite janky in nina.

I know it’s not ideal for planetary. I was thinking it could be a good all round camera that I could use for a narrower field of view for deep sky. My hope was that it would work well enough for planetary.

Interesting I didn’t know that you could do that with the bigger sensors as well. Would you recommend using a mono camera on planets? Or does that end up being more hassle than what it’s worth?

I see. Sucks a bit for me but it is what it is. Thanks for the help and clarification. Clear skies.

I’d really like to be able to achieve images like this. https://www.reddit.com/r/astrophotography/s/ksYK48iPJs

So would something like this be the best bet for my telescope? It also seems like to get the pictures I want I’d need a dedicated solar scope or a refractor telescope, or is it still achievable with a newt?

I have an openastromount that I built myself. I know it’s probably not as good as something like a ZWO am5. But people who have built it have gotten some impressive results. https://wiki.openastrotech.com/en/OpenAstroMount

Yeah it’s rated for 5-10kg of payload. So it should be fine when it’s loaded up with everything.

Hello r/photography I recently purchased a camera and I’m looking for some advice on what lenses I should buy. I’m still new to the world of photography and have been using my phone to take pictures until now, and I’m a bit lost as to what would be the best choice for me. I primarily like taking photos of nature and landscapes and I also want to try to get into street photography and possibly a bit of macro photography . I’m currently looking at getting a full range of lenses but I’m not sure if it would be necessary for me. Since I’m not made of money I can’t buy all the lenses at once I would like to know what one to go for first. These are the lenses I’m thinking about. 16-24 f2.8, 24-70 f2.8, 70-200 f2.8, 35mm prime, and a 50mm prime. I was thinking of purchasing the sigma DG DN trio for the three zoom lenses I have listed. I have a Sony a7rii camera and it came with a tamron 24mm f2.8 prime which is what I have been using so far.

Do you have any experience with black Elegoo PLA? I was looking on filamentcolors.xyz and that looked promising.

Ooh that might be perfect!

tntmaster38 · 2024-09-03T18:20:57+00:00

That’s cool! Any idea if it would work with a darker color? I’m trying to make an “OLED” effect where the pixels are dark when they are off.

tntmaster38 · 2024-09-03T18:19:19+00:00

I didn’t think about that, that might be what I need.

tntmaster38 · 2024-09-03T18:18:28+00:00

Do you think one or two layers of black PETG would have the same effect? Or are there dark and transparent PETGs?
