    Astrophotograpy and Star Trackers

    The CamRanger2 replacement finally showed up, this one is defect free, so glad I decided to get one! Tons of features but the thing that helped me most is the timer works with bulb mode. I was able to extend my shutter times a little, restricted because my alignment was a bit off last night...

    Astrophotograpy and Star Trackers

    D800 Nikon 70-300AF-P f4.5-5.6E Still waiting on the CamRanger2 so I could only do 30 second exposures using the timer. I downloaded a surface level app on my phone and now leveling the tripod is much easier. Making progress!

    Moab Man, I have a lot to learn. This is my first attempt at a deep space object, also my first stack with Sequator. I did 39 stacked 30 second exposures which is not long enough but I got chased away by the incoming clouds. Also it looks like I need to work on focus. This is a crop from the...

    Auto D lighting?

    @dachshund Do you shoot RAW or JPG? I shoot RAW+JPG and usually keep D lighting turned on. D lighting does not(*) have an affect on your RAW image, just JPG's. What it does do is give you a better looking image on the back of the camera when the scene has a large dynamic range and better...
