Guest Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 This is my first ever go with a DSLR: 300mm, ISO6400 3 seconds. Could be ages before I get another go and I'll try with my Mak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithysteve Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 The Wild Duck Cluster does stand out! Amazing what a camera can resolve in 3 secs. There are lots of stars in that FOV. How many could you see naked eye Phil? The human eye is amazing and gives us super wide FOV, we can capture meteors better than a camera, but we cannot build up an exposure or stack images! Without photography we would mostly be unaware of many of the amazing sights of the universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 That looks great Phil. You've got down past magnitude 12 in just 3 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Thanks, Folks. I only saw 2 stars with the unaided eye. An ISO of 6400 and a bit of stacking goes a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
