Description

The desire to take a large picture of the spring galaxy...

But... with my barrel (90/495mm) and camera(FF 6200mm)...

so,

Rather than buying a new Long focal barrel, I tried a different method.

The camera that caught my eye was the ZWO ASI715MC
1/2.8" (IMX715)

The pixel size is 1.45um and the resolution is 8.46 megapixels (3864x2192).

I think only those who have actually tried it will understand the difficulties that come with shooting with a narrow sensor and small pixels.

Oh, and surprisingly, even though I filmed in such a narrow space, I managed to film without a guide.(with RST-135E)
