This is my progress so far. They're not incredible I know, but each time I take a photo that slightly better than the last one it's such a great feeling of achievement!
My first Andromeda photo. Fuji X-T2 with 100-400mm lens. 100 x 0.5 second subs taken at 400mm, ISO 1600, f/5.6.
This was the image that I used a regular tripod for, hence the short subs. I used SiriL for Mac and it was difficult to use!
The next was taken after buying the Skyguider. 31 x 60 second subs, at ISO 1600, 400mm and f/5.6 again. Using the skyguider made a HUGE difference. I also took some dark and bias frames this time. After digging out an old laptop I managed to get Deep Sky Stacker working on it, but it's a slow process. As a side note, Mac users don't really have many options for stacking software!
This was my latest attempt. I parked up in a gravel car park in a nearby county park, which is pretty dark for somewhere that's only 15 mins from home. I tried to up the exposure time to 120 seconds and although there are definite star trails at 100%, it's not toooo bad. I think it's slightly out of focus going my the stars, so that's something to practice. This was 30 x 120 second subs, ISO 1600, 400mm, f/5.6. Stacked in DSS and processing pushed a bit futher in PS. This time I added flats along with darks and bias frames.
