What you can do with 'no equipment'

[chiralchemist]

Quite forgot I'd taken this image below.....

Last summer we went on a holiday to Sedona, Arizona. One evening we returned to our hotel room late and I noticed a rather blurry sky. After finding my glasses I was astonished by what can be seen at what I didn't realise was a dark sky site. Unfortunately I wasn't prepared for this, so all I had to hand was my DSLR, a trustry 50mm lens, a tiny 'bendy' tripod and and a remote programmable timer. Was able to take the usual series of RAW light and dark images but couldn't manage flats. Quite pleased with the outcome given that I had no specialised equipment to hand. I am now very envious of those who can easily escape to dark sky sites with equipment in tow...

That looks great for a photo with no specialist equipment!

You can take flats with just camera and lens anytime (providing you can remember the f-number you set the lens to!) - may not remove the dust bunnies but it will get rid of the vignetting.
