Had all my gear for last 5 years but too busy to try it out. Now retired so more time. Practice, practice, practice. Put it all together and couldn’t even get it to focus properly, spend 2.5hrs to get a idea of it. It’s all a learning curve.

The fun part I had was turning the dials to track the orbit. Definitely a new hobby brewing here

Yeah, and more expense, lol.
Great shot. The detail is superb. Since I got the 200-500mm lens I have tried once or twice. This is probably the best I have gotten so far (I added the ‘stars’ in post).

That’s good. Is it a single shot? I think the processing of the images help a lot.

Thanks Richard. It is a straight shot, cropped in by about a third and then I added the ‘stars’ to add a little interest to the blackness. It was shot on a Nikon D750 with Nikon 200-500mm f5.6 ED VR lens at 1/125th second at (I think) f5.6 at ISO 100. I probably need a doubler to get closer though.

That’s good, and that is what my next goal is going to be, start with andromeda. I have got one I took of the Orion Nebula taken with just a Nikon d800 300mm lens.
