Hello! My name is Robin Onderka, I am an astrophotographer from Czech Republic. I just turned 26 today.  <3

My astrophotography path started 2 years ago with some basic nightscape shots with a Nikon D3300. Even my photos were bad, I never gave up and I fell in love with astronomy and astrophotography. I purchased my star tracker at October 2019 and my modified camera at May 2020. I do deep sky astrophotography for 8 months in "trial and error" style.

I would say my photos are kinda specific. I love to make that nebulosity stand out, so there is a significant star reduction in my pictures. I usually work with small number of data, around 5 to 20 minutes per object. I know this is wrong and I promise I will take more data as possible!

My current equipment:
Camera 1: Canon 6D astro-modified with Astronomik UV-IR L3
Camera 2: Canon 6D mark II stock

Lens 1: Samyang 14 mm f/2.8
Lens 2: Sigma 35 mm f/1.4 art
Lens 3: Samyang 135 mm f/2.0

Tracker: Skywatcher Star Adventurer
Tripod: Genesis Base C5

Software: Astro Pixel Processor, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, PixInsight, Starry Stacker pack and AutoPano GiGa

You have a perfect equipment and you can take beautiful pictures of the night sky of nebula with a 135 mm lens, use a light pollution filter.
I have als o 2 DSLR cameras, a Canon 6 D with DDW modification and a Canon D 60a  and I use Always a light pollution filter from Optolong, the L PRO.
I can give you a advise: Take 60 images at ISO 800 with 2 minutes exposure time, and after take darks so much as you can and bias frames 3o or more. Before you are to go imaging take flat images in daylight when the sun is almost under the horizon. Take at least 20 flat images. Use Always the same ISO  and combine all the images in DSS stacking or a another software program. Succes with imaging and show us your results.
Do not look at the beautiful images of this website, each of the photographers had to learn in the past and you must be patient and ask this forum if you have problems.
Kind regards, Hans Verheijen/ The Netherlands.

Ahoj Robin!  Přestože máte více zkušeností než já, chci vás uvítat ve skupině! Myslím, že se nám podobné fotografie líbí a vážíme si „umění mlhavosti“. (Doufám, že vám nebude vadit, když se tentokrát pokusím psát česky. Rodina mé ženy původně pocházela z Chrášťan.) Vítejte!  CS, Daniel

I'm so sorry! I didn't know there was a rule about this. There are many, many comments in other languages with images, so I assumed that in the forum it was OK. Mea culpa. I was genuinely excited to talk to someone from the Czech Republic and wanted to welcome Robin to the group.

Regards,
Daniel

I wish you succces with imaging.

If you have problems with imaging, do not hesistate to write me if you need help, the  forum is not only to show beautiful pictures but it is also  a  Forum to help you if you have problems.  I am learning every day with imaging to create perfect images, but sometimes there are difficulties and this forum has so many members  that asking for help is possible, do not forget that. Succes with imaging and show us your results. And have no fear that the image is looking not perfect,  it is a learning curve and with help from others you are learning from it so that your images in the future looks better.
