Hi all !
Shot this from my apartment balcony in France, with no view of Polaris and the mount aligned with just a phone compass. Not ideal conditions but pretty happy with the result for a first session!
Gear: Canon EOS R5 + 70-200mm f/2.8 @ 200mm
Exposure: 76 × 20s, ISO 3200
Processing: DeepSkyStacker + Siril (background extraction) + Lightroom
Any tips for improving the polar alignment without a clear view of Polaris are welcome!
I just received a SA2i and I wanted to test it yesterday evening from my balcony.
Here are 70 pictures stacked taken with my unmodified Canon EOS R5 + RF70-200.
Pictures taken at 200mm, f2.8, 20s, iso 3200. 20 Darks. Processed with DeepSky Stacker and Siril.
