My Astrophotography
Wide field, Constellations, Star trails etc


Wide field photography of the sky is very easy to do. You only need a DSLR camera and a wide angle lens. No need of a motor driven mount, only a sturdy tripod.

Comments:

If I had taken those photographs today (2025) I would use the following of my equipment.

Camera Lens / Telescope Reducer / Barlow Mount Comment
Canon 6D Canon 50 mm, f/1.8 x1 SkyWatcher Star Adventurer Wide angle
Canon 6D Tokina 20-35 mm x1 SkyWatcher Star Adventurer / Tripod Wide angle zoom
Canon 6D Sigma 16 mm fisheye x1 SkyWatcher Star Adventurer / Tripod Very wide angle

When a dark night, point your camera wherever direction and you catch an enormous amount of stars. With shorter exposures, 5 to 20 seconds, you can try a tripod and stack a lot of photos.
