The Andromeda galaxy - eviltoast

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/1240211

I took this picture back in 2019. It’s a composite of 10 exposures (I can’t remember the exact exposure time but probably around a minute per exposure).

Taken with a Canon 6D and Tamron 150-600mm on a tripod and star adventurer for tracking, no guiding.

      It does the job, but this lens is right at the limit of what it can do, especially with the guide scope as well. I also have the counterweight kit.

      It’s not super precise, some adjustments have a bit of play so it takes some finessing but it can produce pretty good results.

      I haven’t looked into is there’s something better out there now however.
