Don't buy the Sony A5000/5100 for astrophotography
larsmn replied to sharkmelley's topic in Discussions - Cameras
Where just looking at a5100 to replace my now worn out Nex-5R (+50.000 subs since 2012), so this was disappointing info. Nearly the same as with the definable telescope friendly Sony ILCE-QX1, that among others features lack a Bulb setting. Since it is a scaled down Nex-5T, why not have the same functions? Whats left in getting small "cheap" astro cameras, it is to hope for Olympus new opensourced Air A01. It is 3/4 sensor, well, that's comparable when looking at SBIG and the others sensor sizes. As open sourced, one can only hope for an app writer to make a time-laps astro app, supporting bulb takes. Lars -
Some DSS/Registax stacked photos taken within a small costal town at the Swedish Southeastern Baltic coast, ~56 N. View area; south to zenit, 160 deg E->W. Most pictures taken on an Sky-Watcher Az GOTO, with a Sony Nex-5R (Sony timelap camera app), a 1980 Takumar 400 mm SD at 30 sec exposure and f-8. App gives options 30, 60, 90,120,150, 180 in each serie. Also using a 5"/127 mm Maksutov and a Bresser 900/70 mm achro refractor.
