Description

Had a first go at Milky Way imaging. A few takehome points from this experiment:
  • Don't do it with 86% moon just off shot
  • Don't do it under Bortle 8 sky
  • Stay away from streetlights
  • Dont muck up camera settings (not set to RAW) and dont realise this until end of the session when nothing has saved.

So all things considered reasonably happy with first go on unmodded DSLR and no filters!

A bit of a rush in the end with pretty rubbish calibration frames so please excuse the artifacts!
