Hello Everyone! I had my second semi successful night of taking photos, and I took 26 photos of 30 sec exposures on my Canon 400d, with a 18-200mm lens @ 50mm. It was at ISO 800, and at f/5. I think I have stacked the photos correctly, and tried Siril and DSS for the stacking. However, the Siril one does not look right. If anyone can have a go, or point me towards somewhere where I can learn, that would be great. If you have any questions that might help, Please ask.

Hello Everyone, I've just started my Astrophotography journey, and I've decided to build a DIY barn tracker which I 3D printed. I can't seem to get even a 30 second long exposure without star trails. The big wheel spins once every minute, which is correct, and I'm pretty sure its polar aligned, as when I put my phone with Polaris in Stellarium, it aligns up with everything. Maybe Its not orientated the right way or something. I have attached a photo of the set up, with north being straight on, and east being where the arm is pointing to. I am located near Chichester in the UK if that helps. If you need more details, please ask and I will try my best to respond. Thanks in Advance! Here is the Tracker Set up https://imgur.com/a/x7LWrA3

I just had all the stuff laying around from a long time, so I didn't buy anything specifically, except some memory and a remote timer. -

Thanks 900SL and Elp for all the info! I will have a look see if I could make a diy tracker or get a different lens. Btw, here is someone's attempt at editing the same stacked image I had -

Isn't the higher it is the less atmosphere there is, and the lower it is, the more atmosphere? Its always good to practice. -

I will hopefully be able to take my camera in August to the south of Spain, and in the middle of nowhere with little to none light pollution. Hopefully by then, I would have learnt how to take the photos -

That's a good idea. I will hopefully do some testing -

Wow, those photos look amazing! I don't have a sky tracker, do you think I can get away with something like a 8-9 sec exposure time? Also so now is not a good time to be taking photos as its too low? Or could i just go somewhere darker than my back garden and still get a decent photo? -

This is what I got. What does this mean then? I still want to try from scratch with the raw files, and process it with Siril though, I think there will be better results right? -

Thanks Elp for the reply, This is my first time doing astrophotography, so I'm still learning. I'm currently trying stacking again with Siril, hoping that the PP is going to be a bit better. Do you think its worth sacrificing the 2sec exposure time for something a little longer? If so what, and why. Thanks! -

Hi Simon, Thanks for replying. I used deep sky stacker, and I was following all the steps in the video: I think this is the file you are looking for: m31.tif
