    Long exposure images fading to black over time...

    Can you post the images of the first and last few shots (with Exif)? It will be easier to see what happened and hopefully get the right idea from some experienced members here.

    Insects with non macro lenses

    How do you shoot multi-focus images? Manual (with tripod, rail, etc)? or auto-focus stacking?

    Star tracker you use and/or recommend

    First, this SA GTi requires the same manual alignment as all other star trackers except BP. Second, it requires x8 AA batteries. Then I wonder how well/extensively it performs automation like BP. Just my 2c.

    Thanks, Chris. I'll dig into the new model of Sky-Watcher for details.

    Star tracker you use and/or recommend

    Hi, I am looking into acquiring a good star tracker for astrophotography. I have Benro Polaris in mind now (it attracts me because of its many uses and automation besides deep space features, but must work with a phone is a killer to me). Still need others' experience using their star trackers...

    Both color and B&W versions are great and have distinguished attractions so it is hard to prefer. :)

    Nikon AF Nikkor 24-120mm 3.5-5.6D

    As Clovishound said, Z24-120 is fantastic! I use it with z6ii and z8. Strongly recommend.

    Dominique’s old stones (mostly)

    If you don't mind, I see you set f/5.0 for this wonderful shot. Is that why I see the top of the castle and the tree there were OOF...

    Post Your Tabletop photography, pack shot and still life

    May I say it's the front gold part of the right cufflink that shows a sign of softness (the logo and the rectangular hole)?

    Post Your Tabletop photography, pack shot and still life

    Look like the middle small spool received insufficient lighting or was covered by the shadow from big spools (viewed from my aging eyes probably?).

    Sensor cleaning needed

    Thanks, KevinC. I used "Cues" FFR-24 swab/cleaner to clean my contaminated z6ii sensor with success.
