Not sure if this is the correct place for this, but anyhow.... Lily shot in my back garden with a piece of white card behind. The background texture is a mix of clouds, green card and a floor tile.

12 images? did you use a sky-tracker? Great shot.

Guys, I’ve done the whole Northern Lights thing with some success but I wanna take it further, so I’m looking at getting a sky-tracker without breaking the bank. This astro-photography is probably something I’ll only do 5 or 6 times, just to thick it off the bucket list, so need to be sensible...

Yes a pretty big difference. Looking forward to printing and seeing the results.

It's 100% an AIO. The reason I thought I couldn't use a calibration device was because there's no dedicated graphics card, just an on-board type. Anyway, I have the screen calibrated now having used a Syder4Pro. Thx for all feedback.

Could I be a little nosy and ask about your lens and lighting set up. Did you use a reversing lens adapter?

some really good shots here. This is on my my bucket list... hopefully do it before Christmas.

This works for me because I'm only starting into shooting wildlife and have limited time, hence trying to attract them into my back garden. I get it's not a natural setup...but hey it's fun trying new things.

I set this up in the back garden using an old oven tray, added some moss and a couple of stones from around the garden and filled it with water (about 1cm). Positioned the tray to give a nice background and then set the camera on a tripod and set it to manual and used a remote trigger to fire.

Cracker shots.
