Description

I have not done much with widefield/constellation shots, so figured I would give it a go. The Oben ball head works well with the piggyback adapter of my 8se. The Oben made positioning the camera much easier. I used the Canon 18-55 mm zoom lens at 18mm for these frames. 15 sec is not enough to get much nebulosity with this lens. I may pick up a better camera lens for Christmas and do more of this type of photography.

Thanks to fellow Astrobinner Gabriel Sotnas for the inspiration to try something different.

Thanks for looking.
