It was taken with a Canon 6D + Tamron 600mm lens on a star adventurer tracker with some active guiding via a guidescope camera. Pretty basic setup for astrophotography :)

      Thanks!

      I had a camera, a telephoto lens and a tripod, got some initial results and started looking into improvements :)

      The astrophotography reddit was a great place to learn as well. Not sure if there’s still any life there or if it’s gone the way of most of Reddit…

        It seems to be an expensive hobby based on my initial searches in amazon. high barrier to entry but I think I can make it work in 2 years.

        I do self hosting/de-googling/homelab but my daughter is too young to be involved in it, I think astrophotography would be a good thing for us.

        I fell in love with the thought of seeing things beyond, my daughter loves learning about satellites and space trash (I’m not sure why exactly).

        Thank you!
