astrophotography

According to flickr I haven't pointed my camera at the moon in 10 years. So last night I thought I would give it a go. To be honest, the results surprised me. Not least because it is the first time I have seen any sort of colour in the moon. Which leads me to a question: This is from a single...

Hi all, Just getting back into photography after a 10 year break. No doubt this has been asked a lot but what tripods would people recommend for general landscape photography that is also able to accept a star tracker for astro? I would like carbon fibre if possible. I have seen the K&F...

I’m a complete novice when it comes to Astro photography but fancy getting my feet wet with it. I have a Sony A1 and Sony 600mm f4 GM lens that id like to use with something like the ipotron GM45 but I’ve not seen how such a setup actually attaches to the head? Is there some sort of adapter I’d...

Blend of images - 10 sky mine lit by head torch

Hi, New to this forum and I am looking to get a bit wider in some of my pics. Currently have a Sony 50F14Z Zeiss Planar which I think is great - really happy with the image quality that I get when I actually manage to get a quality image Looking to go wider and I have seen the Batis 18mm/2.8...

Hi there, I was just wondering has anybody used the Sigma 24mm 1.4 for Astro photography if so how does it preform? Also I noticed there is no rubber gasket on the mound does this have any real effect on the lens? For example does it allow dust to get into the lens mount? thanks

Hi there, I was just looking at buying a half decent telescope to show my young kids the planets and stars in more detail, but realised that we'd probably be far better off using the money on a motorised tracking head to take my Canon R5 and 500mm F4 (MK1 - 4KG) with a Mk3 2xTC and the 1.6...

Milky way shot at Dungeness, Kent

I'm planning my first attempt and have been reading up and watching YouTube videos, but there's one thing I remain a little puzzed about. Using Star Stax there's the option of including a dark frame. Is is necessary or advisable to process/sync that dark frame as with all other photos taken...

Hi Everyone!! It's been quite a while since my last post, which to be fair, also happened to be the MilkyWay lol Anyway, this is oldie for me, and I was over the moon when it got commended and also appeared in the Landscape Photographer of the year 2015 book. I've not done any astro...

It's back :) at 11mm Milky Way by Good Lux Photos, on Flickr 35mm Milky Way by Good Lux Photos, on Flickr 50mm Milky Way by Good Lux Photos, on Flickr The lake was so still at times reflections of the stars were visible in the water. A good start to the season!

Hi all Decided last week to have another go at astrophotography as new to it and still learning. Made a vlog which is on my YouTube channel. Thanks for watching Martin

Hi, A little late but I am up in Harrogate tonight and it looks like we might have a clear night. Any good locations not far from here for some astrophography? Cheers, Tom

First time I have ever done any Astro Photography at all. Went up to Mount Teide on a holiday to Tenerife and waited for the sun to set. It was amazing, never seen so many stars! Interested to see what people think. Full res on flickr. Mount Teide By Night by Thomas Green, on Flickr Mount...

Not my first attempt at the Milky Way, but not a pro either :P Taken last month at S. Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal. Basically, in the middle of the Atlantic. Panoramic with 4 or 5 photos (don't really remember...) Fuji X-E1 with Samyang 12mm. Larger version in Flickr :) Milky Way by Joao...

*please move to right post location* Hi all, I love looking at all the milky way posts i keep seeing, there amazing!! just got a question can the MilkyWay be shot anytime of the year or is it dependant on location (away from light pollution ofc) / country and what time of year ? Regards Broken

**dammit .. just realised there is a specific astro forum .. if a mod could be so kindly to move please** New moon phase along with clear sky meant a trip down to the Giants Causeway to see what could be seen. Sadly the core wasn't in the perfect position by the time it was really properly...

Despite it being midsummer and the moon currently full there was a brief window of clear sky after the moon early last Monday morning to capture a couple of shots of the milky way from our holiday cottage. Feedback and comments welcome and thanks for looking. Taken with a Nikon D7100 and...
