I've challenged myself with trying to learn Astrophotography this Winter. Really struggling to get started, but I'm now beginning to get some results. I'm well aware that there's massive scope for improvement but you've got to start somewhere.
Taken with a D850 and 300 f4 with 1.4x TC @ 420mm. I used my MSM tracker to get me slightly longer exposures - struggled with it TBH and could only get up to 5 second exposures with that weight/focal length combination. Stack of 30 or so frames. Lots of technical issues with both the capture and processing but it's a steep learning curve and I've learnt plenty so far.
