Can't even put into words how excited I am right now.
It's frickin' cold but I'm out for the second night out with clear skies this week.. Imaging #pleiades tonight.
Polar alignment was a bit tricky at first, but worked well in the end.
Getting the small kit zoom lens of my camera to somewhat decent focus was more of a fight.
Taking 30 second subs now, till the battery dies 😅
TIL: on the a5100, Sony disabled the option to turn off LENR (Long Exposure Noise Reduction), so every 30 sec image took me 62.
That's not only sad, but reduces the quality of the stacked image.
Anyway: Here's one of about 50 Subs, slightly cropped.
30 Seconds @ ISO1600
210mm Sony zoom lens (55-210)
