Beginner Questions
I was gifted a lot of equipment and want to know what would be the best use for it and what combination to use. I want to get great photos of the milky way, the moon, Saturn, Jupiter, galaxies and nebulas.
I'm in the North Dallas area but plan to go visit an area with a 3.4 Bortle to get some practice, and then go to a 1 Bortle area.
If I'm using the Star Adventurer 2i, how long of an exposure can I take before the stars begin to go out of focus? And do I take several long exposure shots and stack them to get the best photo? Do I need an auto guide or can I do without for now?
This is some of the equipment I have.
