Have one question for you, what tracking speed would you prefer to track Milkyway in such widefield photogrphy? 1x or 1/2x?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234710018017499155.post-27043406308349236722013-11-21T18:30:26.567-06:002013-11-21T18:30:26.567-06:00Yep, I used a ball head to get it to 90 degrees.

My primary photo tripod has an Acratech leveling base so I can get a little more from that. Very excited to try this out and may have a great chance next week.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384765389834176571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234710018017499155.post-44950285514063225822013-08-13T11:05:07.526-05:002013-08-13T11:05:07.526-05:00For the first two night the camera was on a tripod...For the first two night the camera was on a tripod (no tracking). On the third night, it was also on a tripod, but this time I used an iOptron SkyTracker, but not as it was intended. Instead of polar aligning the device, I pointed the axis to the zenith which created the panning motion during the sequence of shots. There is some star trailing, but with a 10mm focal length lens it is minimal and doesn't show much in the video. A longer focal length lens would have showed much more trailing.Tom J Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13779652766333503484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234710018017499155.post-51786832323770220822013-08-11T23:59:28.852-05:002013-08-11T23:59:28.852-05:00Very Cool Tom ! :-) ..
