Description

I have always been interested in astro photography and when I bought the Pentax K5 back I learnt that it had an astro tracer function. I never got the quite hold of it but now looking back I can see that I never used it properly. I thought it would manage a 300mm lens and just shoot a single frame. I really didn't know the way of stacking or on how much light I would gather.

But now looking at all the frames I have save they actually did capture something when stacked. If I had done some research back then I would surely been amazed on what the astro tracer could do!
