[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 740218, member: 48483"] Hello, I'm a newbie here. I did get out on 3 nights over 1 week. The skies were perfect enough that I could have gone out 5 nights. I tried to do different things each night. Mostly I took 30 or so exposures with each composition to give the option of layer-stacking. First night, I was learning here. Using a tracking telescope mount and Sigma 150-600mm C lens on my D750. [ATTACH=CONFIG]342816[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]342817[/ATTACH] 2nd night: Had failure of my tracking mount, but took a couple with D750 + Sigma 150-600mm again with an added light pollution filter before it went down. This shot is a single exposure. [ATTACH=CONFIG]342818[/ATTACH] But I had my backup D7000 + Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 ready on tripod. I was going to take these shots anyhow. [ATTACH=CONFIG]342819[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]342820[/ATTACH] 3rd night, I got more experimental. All D750 using 24-120mm f/4 and Sigma 20mm f/1.4 Art. The tracking mount was repaired and ready. [ATTACH=CONFIG]342821._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]342822._xfImport[/ATTACH] I verified this on Heavens-Above, this was the 2nd stage of the Crew Dragon Demo 2 Falcon9 rocket photobombing me. [ATTACH=CONFIG]342823._xfImport[/ATTACH] Change to 20mm f/1.4 [ATTACH=CONFIG]342824._xfImport[/ATTACH] Then turn around and right behind me is this. :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]342825._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
