For astro shots, pair that lens with a star tracker (like the iOptron SkyGuider Pro) to avoid star trails—even at f/1.8, 30-second exposures need tracking for sharp Milky Way shots.

Pikavilkaisulla esim. iOptron SkyTracker Pro, n 300€. Näissä monimutkaistuksena, että ne pitää suunnata kohti taivaannapaa (~ Pohjantähti), jotta seuranta toimii tarkasti.
Sitten on nämä pienet kuvaavat älyteleskoopit, esim Seestar S30 Pro, jotka vaan laitetaan jalustalle ja painetaan nappia, 800€

Okay, first outdoor night test of the Raspberry Pi 5 (8b) running attached to the scope mount, controlling the main camera (Canon 550D), scope mount (iOptron SmartEQ Pro w/Orion 120mm f/5), and guide camera (Orion SSAG). Waiting for dark to polar align.

NERDY STUFF:
This is almost a year since my last proper long astrophoto project, this time with a star tracker.
