RE: Night Shots, Space Objects and Having Fun with 600mm Lens

Using the car as a wind blo;ck was such a smart move. Wind can ruin a long lens in seconds. The way you leaned into that apocalyptic green/yellow cast and made it a mood really works for me.. defintely feels like a story rather than a flaw. And that single frame Andromeda made me smile, stacking is like compounding for photons, little gains adding up over time :)

I thought about removing this apocalyptic tone in the beginning, but didn't. I like it too haha. Wish I had a telescope for deep sky objects tho.
yeah, good call keeping that tone, it adds drama and and makes the scene feel alive :) You dont need a big scope right away, a star tracker plus stacking with that 600 can pull out nebulae and more detail. If you want glass, a small 72ED refractor or a 130PDS newtonian is cheapish and friendly to learn. What are you leaning toward, tracker or small refractor?
Currently, I don't plan to buy anything for this, but I am leaning towards a tracker more at first. I lent the 600mm lens, I have 200mm. It's not that long, but it has f2.8 glass so it gets a lot more light in it.
