[QUOTE="wornish, post: 522650, member: 15434"] Had the first clear night last night for weeks. Here is my first attempt at Deep Sky Imaging using the Skywatcher Adventurer mount I got myself for Christmas, I am very impressed with how easy it was to set up. I used my Olympus OMD EM-5 mk2 with the f/2.8 12-40mm lens (set at 40mm). This is a stack of 20 pics each 10sec, ISO 1600 and then stacked in Deep Sky Stacker and further processed in star tools and then Photoshop. I now know what astrophotographers do when its cloudy. They spend the time learning all the post processing techniques. Talk about a steep learning curve :confused: Next attempt will be using my D810 with my 80-400 mm this is a big step because the field of view gets very small the longer the focal length.
