In this video, I’ll prove that you don’t need an expensive camera to take incredible astrophotography images. The camera used in this video is an old Canon EOS T3i, which is actually a great little astrophotography camera.
To be honest, knowing HOW to capture great data, and image processing skills are much more important than the camera you use. I hope you enjoyed this video, and subscribe if you haven’t already!

Don’t get me wrong, I love watching your videos but to say it’s not bad for a “$200” camera is a bit misleading when you have a $400 tracker, $500 lens, $150 light pollution filter, and various other expenses like tripod, dew heater, and remote. Easily in the $1500 range if you pick a cheap tripod... a budget rig when compared to using dedicated imaging equipment for sure but still misleading to say a cheap DSLR did this when the real magic happens with a steady tripod, tracker, and modded camera with a filter... all I’m saying is $200 and eBay is t getting you there. And yes, it’s still expensive. However, still love to see your videos, keep them coming.
Is it more expensive than nature, landscape, wildlife, wedding, architectural photography? If you haven't noticed, photography itself can be expensive. And remember the old adage; you get what you pay for. In other words, this is an inexpensive SOLUTION to the expenses associated with higher end astro-photography or maybe, just maybe, astro-photography isn't for you.
Patrick Guilfoyle what the heck are you talking about... I simply said that saying a $200 camera from eBay will not get you those results alone. You COULD say for under $1500 including a self modded camera from eBay, you can do this... also, don’t presume to know what is and isn’t for me... I have several William Optics, Orion, Celestron, ES, and Meade scopes along with a few iOptron and Celestron mounts, ZWO cameras, etc... I know EXACTLY how expensive this is and can be. Although $1500 is an INEXPENSIVE entry into this hobby many will consider it expensive because it is an expensive hobby.
@@patrickguilfoyle8884 Agree that photography is an expensive hobby. But the point here is that, it requires a of investment just to get started in deep sky astro photography (tracker, filters, heater, good tripod, dedicated lens etc.)! Any other type of photography can be started with a cheap camera, kit lens and cheap tripod at best.
Anyway, great video as always. :)
@@gojaimo well then Trevor was just stating that instead of buying a more expensive telescope, you can get great shots with an old camera. HELLO!
Maybe you just move on....
Patrick Guilfoyle um no, don’t be like that... he clearly said you can take great deep space photos with a cheap Camera... I love his videos and his style and although Trevor doesn’t know me personally, he has inspired my newest light weight rig.... That said, I don’t have to agree with EVERYTHING he says... How about you move on and stop putting words in his mouth.
Very informative and well presented video.
In the early 90's I built a barn door tracker with a curved rod driven by an old turntable motor. Balanced everything as best I could, pointed the hinge at Polaris and used an old film camera to photograph the Constellation Orion. I managed to get a few passable photos out of 2-3 rolls before the motor burned up. Most were over or under exposed or smeared due to tracking error. I considered it a success but nowhere near what is possible today with limited means. If you are here watching and interested in astrophotography I would definitely advise considering the Sky Watcher.
Plot twist. It's the filters and star tracker and the sky quality that matters.
Isn't that a given? Water is wet...
Perhaps not so obvious to newcomers of the hobby.
@@SuperTurbo9001 yes im quite new and i havent bought myself a tracker yet. i should get a filter too. i live in a class 9 sky
And those are not cheap 😁
@@hzubovi1 true, the lens is the next most expensive item. But there are less expensive alternatives. There's currently quite a few old Nikon 135 f2 or f2.8 AI lenses on ebay less than £100, and the mount I mentioned is roughly half the price of the mount he uses. It might not be as advanced, but it's a start.
"Cheap rig"
Bruh
exactly! EOS and cheap, choose one
*conveniently forgets the expensive filter and star tracker*
@@killer120070507 What about $500 lens? This can probably be done with tamron/sigma 70-300mm and some cheap ass filters if you want to go on budget but tracker will be by far most expensive still. Cant see this happening under $500 all in to be honest. His setup is like $1500... LOL
@@beating2 That was Orange's point.
@@killer120070507 And the $499.00 lens.
Money aside, it took knowledge, dedication and passion to get this photos yourselve. Impressive!
It's as easy as looking up the weather.
The star tracker is the most important accessory. Most people think it's the camera but lens and accessories and most importantly a person that knows what they are doing. Great video.
I'd be in heaven at -17°C! Last time I was out, it was -18°C but horribly windy. The time before that, it was -32°C and calm. It was cold, but layers are the answer!
Nice image, by the way. I'm very impressed! Great channel you got here, Trevor.
Eye opening and exactly the video I needed to see! Been dreaming of getting into deep sky photography and your videos have been a great guide. Just saving my pennies now for a Star tracker!
Fantastic results with the t3i, still one of the best affordable cameras for beginners!
Please stop calling my T3i an "older cheap" camera. I love that thing. It's served me well and still serves me well!
I know! I use mine practically every day. Mine has been in the rain on bike trips, in the snow, out on 100° days, and on 10° nights, and unfortunately it's hit the ground a few times. I honestly don't know how many times it's hit the 9999 counter mark and started over again, but it's been a few. It's been a workhorse.
Remember, it's all about perspective. To this guy, it is an "older, cheap camera". To those of us still with our T3i/600D's.. it's the best camera we have. They have held their value well though, they(the T3i/600D) were $650 in Australia for the body, when new.
Doesn’t mean it’s not older. “Cheap” is relative, but it is cheapER.
No, its older and cheaper. Its not old and cheap, just older and cheaper.
it is an older cheap camera but it doesn’t mean that it’s trash
I didnt realize you could see a nebula with a 135mm lens. I figured something longer would be required. this is inspiring!
Lots of nebula visible with unaided eye.
M42
M17
M22
North American nebula
I even saw M27 from Utah high desert!
That is awesome. I can't wait to do this someday. I just gotta learn the whole processing steps from your videos and have confidence to doing it.
Yeah nowadays you can learn anything on internet. Cool time to be alive
Nice to see some of the simpler aspects again Trevor, this is what first got me into this hobby and your channel. Someone at backyard with more basic setup showing the magic that can be done.
With yours and Nico's videos, I just took the dive into this hobby. Can't wait to learn and grow.
Great video! Ppl still do not understand photography as a hobby or a job, is expensive to start and maintain, no matter what. It just has a "relatively cheap" way, or "expensive" way of starting the photography journey. No way around it. By photography, I mean the one using the dedicated camera, not the iPhone photography sector (not saying cellphone photography is bad, actually, the camera in your phone is very good). No matter is Astrophotography, landscape, wildlife, or even street photography (yeah, this one can be a bit cheaper).
When I was in middle school, I used a Nikon D80 with a kit lens to take astrophotos. Luckily I was grouped on a field trip by my hobby class teacher; Biology was my hobby at that time btw, not Astro. ( The hobby class is popular in my country, China, kids always join after-school hobby classes in the Children's Palace and often have amazing field trips along the course). We traveled to observe the Perseids meteor shower, but unfortunately, there was none of them :(. That trip was my first time both taking astrophotography and using a "professional" Goto star tracker that can hold two DSLRs at the same time. Our teacher was brave enough to let two kids fully control this machine🤣. I was a nube but the other kid seemed to have some knowledge to use it. We ended up spending a whole night playing with this tracker and tasks lots of photos. The photo quality wasn't good because of the knowledge I had at that time, but anyhow, it was a great experience for me getting into this hobby.
To be honest, in most cases, just bring your kit lens, or get a cheap wide-angle manual focus lens like a Samyang 14 f2.8. With a great clear sky, you can shoot beautiful milky ways already. Indeed, the deep sky looks fascinating, but you not only need more $$$$ to buy the lens, tracker, stable tripods, extra ball head, or even modify your camera. But also, you need tons of time waiting for the camera to be exposed. Those fascinating shots on Instagram or TH-cam often took 2 hours, 3 hours; some took a few days of total exposing time, and many hours of Photoshops later on. Unless you are retired or still a college student, there is not a lot of time to spend on to both: find a clear night +Spend an entire night + Hours of Photoshop later on. 🤐
“In the city” lol
IKR! ahaha he lives like in the middle of the woods
Stay away antifa 😀
@@unbroken1010 😄
Good one Trevor! I started with a DSLR like that one. Taking pictures of sunrises and sunsets. Wish I'd seen this video then!
There is this cool app that can do all that on your phone. When you press the shutter button, it uses the orientation, location of your camera and time to go download the NASA image you want to have. Much faster and easier than other methods---and you don't have to find a low light pollution area. And the images from Hubble are pretty amazing.
When you have -17°C in Ontario, here in central Quebec, I usually have -30°C during clear nights. Quite difficult...
WOOOW man incredible
plz music @ 9:42 plz help
I use shazam to find out. Suite Gothique in C minor: IV toccata.
@@kanedafx1 it not the same :((
I am just getting started. I have learned how to attach my Canon Rebel T-3 (my Son-in-law his camera) to my Celestron NexStar 8se. When I finally get clear skies, I am going to try to take some pictures of Jupiter, Saturn, and the Moon. I realize there is a light-reducing filter I can place over the shudder. Anyway, thank you for making the videos
I was an avid daytime photographer for years, and I've been a visual astronomer for many years. I was looking into astrophotography and suddenly realized that I have a T3i collecting dust in the back of my closet. My lucky day!
So most of you complaining about how this isn't really a cheap rig should not forget that a lot of us already have at least some of this gear.
Most people have a tripod. a lot of people already have a remote shutter release. I still have my old T3i that I still use to take hiking b/c of it's light weight and small size (so not keen on modding it) but I'm wondering if my older Rebel XS would do the job?
I also already have a Star Adventurer tracker that I bought for Milky Way photos using my Sigma 18-35.
So cost to duplicate this rig is going to vary depending on what you already have but what it shows me is that I can move on to DOS photos without breaking the bank.
Man its been cloudy for about 2 months where i live, to bad i cant use my telescope.
Same for me. About 3 good days this month in the NE of the USA by me and I had work early each morning. Only a couple of hours all month that I have had anything but binocular viewing.
We have the same. Have'nt seen the stars for 2-3 months.
Torbjørn Gustafson It really stinks, I recently just invested in a quite large telescope amd i havent been able to use it any more than 5 times
This is insane!! I have almost this exact setup. I have the same camera, but not modified. I don't have the lens or the filter, I have the same tracker.
Have you ever tried to do a DIY way? with a barn door tracker?
Just so you can show people how cheap you can get while still getting decent results.
I was going to build myself one, but was having issues with the gears and such. Plus it has to be adjusted through out the night. It maybe cheap but there is some math and such involved. I finally gave up and just saved up
The sound design on this video is amazing!
AWESOME, it may not, as you say, be “award winning” but I am impressed ... thank you for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻
"ordinary backyard" "city", and that shows up! :O
I was trying to get out last night with the same equipment just different dslr to do the same shot. Didn't get far as clouds moved in to stay. I'm just west of Milton with a wee darker sky. I dont mind the cold. Been out in colder, just have to dress for it. Great shot Trevor. Like to see a video of what it takes from start to finish photo with possessing.
dude thats some sick shots, are you layering the photos or was this single shots? :o
I just go to the hubble website and right click on their images that can then be saved on a memory card. Cost to me = $0.00.
Two things you probably already hhow: 1) Magic Lantern can replace your intervalometer/shutter release, and will allow 2) thirds of a stop increments in ISO. The reason the latter is useful: Canon’s inherent noise is in a ‘sawtooth’ pattern…160 ISO produces LESS noise than 100 ISO (320 < 200, 640 < 400, 1250 < 800..). I believe it’s specific to DIGIC.
I am totally new to astrophotography and your videos have been tremendously helpful. after watching a number of your vids on deep sky photography I got the Idea to mount my DSLR with a telephoto lens directly on my AVX mount so I could have a 'faster' telescope than the C8, just to see what happens. ( I have a yt vid on making the mounting shoe with the resulting pix) the results (for me) were really amazing.. and I can see now how this can be a very addictive hobby! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion.
when you took the photo on the flip-out LCD, I didn't see much, just a few white dots on the screen but then you showed a beautiful image would like to know what the process used to get that image to look so good
Otherwise known as the 600d in the UK ... The 6d is also worth considering.. But, by the time you've modified the DSLR, added a decent filter and that amazing lens.... Its stops becoming affordable... The trick is to build up this portable rig gradually, adding stuff as you go along.. this usually works alongside your learning and experience. After a few months you might decide AP is not for you and you haven't sunk too much money into this... Otherwise, like me, I'm on my 3rd scope in 18 months and I'm loving it.
Trevor is my go-to guy for astro-photography videos. AstroBackyard is a great resource....thanks Trevor!
Great video and fantastic photos. Only the sky can show us the past.
Back to your roots! Great stuff dude
Any chance you can do a setup tutorial on the "Star tracker" Adenturer from beginning to end?
there are hundreds of them online. search "star tracker polar align" or more specifically to that model, "star adventurer polar align". You'll find many of them out there.
Personally I think that image is amazing, I've know idea how that tripod works but it must be an amazing bit of kit to be able to leave the shutter open that long and still get a sharp image.
Have to say though - that lens is worth more than my whole set-up
Not if you buy it used 😉
"The key to being able to take awesome photos with a cheap camera is to pay excessively for everything else" oO
If you're looking for a cheap hobby astrophotography isn't it. The set up he is using is still cheap in regards to other astrophotography options. He has telescopes that cost more than this entire rig
@@lw3609 I've taken half decent photos on my phone. You just need to go to the right place and have patience.
@@bskdopeboy and your photos will be significantly worse quality that what this rig which is a beginner rig could produce. theres mounts that cost more than the entire set up in this video hence why i said it isnt a cheap hobby
@@lw3609 The point is this video is meant to be teaching you how to take decent photos on a CHEAP DSLR AND LENS. Fuck me...
@@bskdopeboy which you can do with the camera he shows you don't need to get a dedicated astronomy camera or a astro DSLR. However if you want to take pictures of DSO the rig he showed is a beginner rig
Enjoying your videos. They are so well done. I can hear how cold it is when you walk, that crunch! Where are you in Ontario, roughly? We have a lot of family there.
that's a pretty decent image you got there. i do have to argue your "know how vs camera selection" argument. if you use a camera that introduces a lot of noise, even just from the sensor heating up, your photo stitching software is going to have a lot of problems picking up what are actually stars and what is just noise. so a good high iso camera is pretty important.
Anyone else here want to be an astronomer when they're older? I know I do
loser
Define 'older'.
I'm only 46 years old. I wont be getting older for another 10 years or so. I think I want to start right away
I am older
Lol
Astronomy is great fun just dont ever expect to get paid for it.
Nice back to basics video. I still can't believe what's possible from my backyard. Also congratulations on being a keynoter at Dylan's Star Stuff III extravaganza. That's quite a feather in your cap and very well deserved.
I would die to shoot these kind of photo. I think that my good old EOS 600D (Rebel T3i) will start a new life !!!!! Thanks for all your videos.
Stay safe and go on making great videos...
Nice video. I love the pic and give you the "Marvelous Award." Hey your house-style and the snow sure look like Michigan.
_AstroBackyard_ : 1:05 I gonna prove to you that from an ordinary backyard in a city you can get astonishing results
_Light pollution_ : *I'm about to end this man's whole career*
Trevor, I want to support any folks that have helped support you and your vids b/c although I'm experienced with astronomy (12" Dob for viewing only w/NO astrophotography experience), your vids have been so helpful in my transition to astrophotography. I'm now wanting to buy an EQ-6 Pro. Any recommendations on whom to purchase from?
Who's getting fed up with all these TH-camrs pulling ridiculous faces on their thumbnails?
This guy doesn't care about science, he just want to be famous... If it was just the thumbnail.
This is the video I have been waiting for.
I have the canon 650 (rebel t4i) and am saving up for this type of set up.
I know that it is not just the camera or the lens bit also the after processing and am going to be on a steep learning curve.
I really love the video and will use it as a guide.
Your voice and background music with nature cloud thundering sound was epic 7:34
I`ve got mine on a Astromaster 130 EQ. Just waiting for clear skies. Was setting up with a svbony with a 2 x barlow looking at a star and an object moved across the screen. Took about 5 seconds to cross the screen which is way too slow for a satellite. Wish I had recorded it.
when you use a t2i as your primary camera...
I am less than 2 months new to this astrophoto thing. I think that image is great. So far I have only done two sessions with a standard tripod and my two old Nikons, a D70 and D5100. I ripped out the IR cut filter from the D70 and left the D5100 stock, I still use it for other shooting. I was actually surprised how well they did here in central Florida. Currently I am waiting on a tracking mount. I have a feeling I'll be spending quite a bit of money in the coming years. The downside of all this to me is I really suck with photoshop, and the old version (CS2) I have is missing some of the features you use. Too many hobbies, so little time and money. Clear skys.
The old 600D.. I still use mine, it's my only dslr, had it since new, shutter count over 200,000(partly with timelapse).
I use Magic Lantern for timelapse and bulb functionality(an external intervalometer/controller has some advantages)
That‘s incredible. Your video will genuinely make me look up at the night sky differently. I‘m wondering now about all that I can see if I could only not blink for an hour
I'm intersting to start astrography (DSO) without spending thousands of $ to start...(already got a Celetron Nexstart 6se) getting a Canon Rebel T3i and modify it looks very interesting. BUT do you think the new low cost ZWO ASI585mc is a game changer? would you still recommand to use a cheap DSLR vs ZWO ASI585mc to start astrography at a low cost? Actually I wonder if the Canon T3 would still be more perfomant than the ZWO ASI585mc. thanks
Nice to see u dint need a astro modded cam for such pretty sick pictures, thx alot
A lot of people seem to be missing the point.
This is a very affordable camera. An affordable lens. And a star tracker. You can find affordable lenses. You don’t need a few whatever the hell in many locations, like Hawaii.
You don’t need the filter but it helps. You don’t need to modify your camera but it helps.
My friend has captured deep space photography with a A7iii and a start tracker.
The point is that you don’t NEED expensive Gucci gear to get into Astro shooting. But it definitely enhances your photos.
I'd like to see what the results look like without the filter and camera sensor modification. I have a DSLR and a decent zoom lens and I'm considering getting a tracker, but I'd rather not take parts out of my camera if I can avoid doing so, but still get a better than average deep sky photo. If taking apart the camera (i.e. - buying a second DSLR) and buying the extra filter are a big part of getting images like the one in the video, then this is a much bigger investment than $200. I mean, how much difference does the added filter and the sensor change make?
WoW!! I can’t believe some of the negative comments. This guy freely gives his time and his knowledge (two of the most valuable resources in this hobby). Keep the smart a$$ comments to yourself and move on. You didn’t pay anything to watch the video. There is enough negativity in the world.
I would have liked to see more of this "dummy" battery. Never heard of it. Would like to see how it was connected and what they power source to this rig is.
essentially an empty battery case with a 8V power input cable attached. Power can be supplied from a larger battery of from a AC to DC power supply.
Exellent work dude, but I wondering if you take a photo of nebula like a little spot, haw do you get this photo at the end ???
Great video, great tutorial, and an amazing example of what can be done on a budget. Am impressed at the great results you get from the Star Adventurer.
why not use magic lantern for the shutter control?
Inspiring. i use that tracker and love it for starters, but have a Celestron AVX arriving and can't wait to have the goto help to find objects to photograph.
first camera was a Cannon Rebel Xti 55mm. 300mm. Couple of filters and a Tripod
Worth every penny
It's all clear with the camera, but I have a question about this mount. Is it automatic? Does it chase the needed nebula automaticly?
Now, try using a Point and Shoot like the CanonSX40HS without a tracker and with a tracker!
And too grasp the idea That the light coming from those stars in Orion’s Belt have been traveling for millions of years til they reached earth and we all just witnessed a glimpse from the past! Very moving photograph and makes you think how much of a very real place that is and what it could be like! The only thing that can come close to my thoughts or express my imagination after looking at astronomy photographs like that are the Guardians Of The Galaxy movies!
Man I saw your backyard is pretty spacious so I guess you can pour a concrete column there and use it to attach an EQmount permanently to save time.
Got access to a DSLR, just need to eventually get a star tracker mount, remote, and the lens. I have access to a decent zoom, not sure of the exact model. I'll get there...
You could always modify it yourself for free, (not to use the filter) find a dark site for free, use a cheap 50 mm vintage lens for almost free (30 bucks on eBay) and use a completely free image stacking software like sequator in order to compansate for the tracker. At least a beginner can get good results with targets like the Orion nebula and wide field milky way and etc. I think that's I the point he is trying to make in this video. Great video indeed.
Great video! I have a T3i from 2012 and really enjoy it. I did a ton of time exposures back in the days of EOS film cameras and the T3i flip out screen was such a benifit over fixed screens such as my studio's 5D. As far as I was concerned, givin a choice, I would always go for the t3i. Unless I needed to put on a professional appearence - then I would go 5D. If it was good enough for Phil Tippett to use for stop motion I figure it's good enough for me. ;-)
I’ve a Celestron Astromaster 130EQ and a Nikon D5600. My photos are not good but I think it’s because I’m a beginner.
Out of curiosity, would the Rokinon lens fit a rebel T5? Just starting my venture into astrophotography and learning a lot from your videos.
Brilliant trevor.. and a great image to boot 👍🏻
do you have a link to the camera mod. tutorial you used please? I’ve looked at a few now and they always seem to scare me off doing it.
Thanks again as always.. clear skies my friend ✌🏻
Such a great video! I love the Horse head with Orion shot. You sure make it look easy. Thank you so much for your videos. We love them😎
I just went on Amazon to buy a used Rebel T3i and the Rokinon 135mm. I couldn't step up to the new EOS Ra so this is my workaround. Did you say you had a video on removing the IR cut filter?
The nebula, in my opinion, are stars that simply blur when the spiral moves and we don't see clear points, but the brightness of Andromeda stars is very high, so we see their general glow. The same thing happens in the centers of all galaxies, at the birth of stars, where their concentration is off the scale
My problem is getting a sky tracker. Great video. You really inspire me to get better images.
I do astrophotography with Canon EOS450D which is old indeed, noisy as hell, Tamron 18-200 lens and 10$ tripod. Siril app helps a lot. My stuff is really cheap equipment)
Yes, it is still very capable camera.
If you want cheap Astro modified cameras please check our bio.
We have even this one camera in stock modded to a full spectrum or Astro.
We also can re-calibrate your cameras.
I have the Canon 200mm Prime f2.8 could this work as an alternative to the Rokinon? Great video.
Great tutorial. It's interesting to try it too, but I don't know how to start)
Very easy to get started, just search any TH-cam video on how to get started and it should give u a list of what u need. However it is expensive recommended start would be $2000
@@6969MockingBird thank you
Looks pretty good, that's a keeper. Your a braver man though Trevor. That's too cold for me.
From what I've seen thus far about astrophotography, the most important piece of gear is a motorized equatorial mount.
Is that correct?
Yes and accurate polar aligning.
So if I were to buy an Astro modded camera, there are 3 options. UV/IT filter removal, enhanced spectrum, and full spectrum. Which one is the one I would want?
I maybe have a really dumb question. But When you use a telescope, the eyepiece does the zooming for you,When you remove that eyepiece and put a camera in, what does the zooming then? Since the camera doesn't have the lens attached on it. Greetings from the netherlands :)
Hi - quick rookie question. The image is mindblowing. When you present the final image in the video (before the zoom effect), has it been cropped or is this the original resolution/crop ratio directly from the sensor using the 135mm?
What was the air temperature and humidity when you took the images for this video ?"
I have used my nikon D750 with a Pro len with so-so results. I live in Alabama where the summer nights are in the seventies with humidity in the seventies or higher so I was getting a lot of noise. I've since gone with a cooled astro camera and an 8" Newtonian and the results are much better.
Your videos helped get me started in this crazy hobby, for that I am grateful.
Just wondering about the atmospheric conditions when you did this video.
I just bought a Pentax Super Takumar 300mm f4 lens on Ebay. I want to try that with stacking shots. I now it will be tough, but I do not have a Star Tracker yet. Waiting for clear skies, hard to find in WA state right now. Yeah, filter is expensive and so is the star tracker, but I will eventually get there. Also bought a Canon XSi on eBay last week for $121. Not sure if I should have the IR filter removed or not. Where can I have this done?
Dew heaters aren't cheap either, if you use a small hair dryer on the camera lens every 10- 15mins you can save a bit more cash. Also stacking photos with Deep sky stacker and then editing the final image is quite a job/skill in itself.
This is absolutely fantastic! Sad that my camera it’s so old that doesn’t have the BULB function.
Hey mate, brought a cheap 600D today off a lady, planning to mod it instead of my Nikon D7200.. my question is do you recommend a gleam glass for the chip assembly or the clip in style filter? My skies in Australia are not affected by light pollution what so ever just I’m stumped on what todo in that area.. I was thinking of just making it full spectrum and seeing how that goes with nothing in front of the chip?
How do you know where to look in the sky?
Btw very nice video
How about that DSLR with the original kit lens? Will it work for astro photography?
I got a full frame 6D... I do have the 135mm too. Say I got the tracker, is it even possible to get a shot as near good as that? I'm really not going to modify the internals of the camera lol
