Popular Post +Derbyshire Dave Posted August 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2020 Went out to Dethick Chursch with high hopes of a clear evening, but it was cut short by clouds and the camera dewing up. Not surprising, I was imaging from a filed with very long wet grass. Canon M5, 10mm, ISO 3200 2 minutes for the foreground, ISO 100 20 seconds for the stars. Needed more shots of each.

Clive Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 At long last an astro image! How may star images did you used to get the trails? +Derbyshire Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Derbyshire Dave Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hi Clive, It's not been great for astro has it! I had real high hopes of a good few hours last night after looking at ClearOutside, but the clouds were there pretty quickly. Grrrr. Only 19 twenty second images for the trails. I actually took a lot more but didn't realised that the lens was dewing up rapidly. StarStax works really well, and is easy to use, not sure whether you have tried it, but basically include all your images and then click a button. The trails build up before your eyes...

I was quite amused by the idea of a 12V hair dryer on an extended lead. It is a good idea if I'm near the car (which I will do!), but I was about half a mile away from the car last night ... that's a big reel of cable! 😄 +Ibbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
