Not this one but can advise on some dark sky spots in north wales

Quite possibly the best lens I've ever used. I use it for landscapes photography too

Can you guess im making the most of the new playground crazy air glow !

they moan when i say im taking them but when they see the milky way with a hot chocolate they love it

thank you

i try and plan all my images less frustration when the time comes. glad you like it

Ive made a short video on how to make a layer and mask and using Gradient x terminator. not a pain promo or anything just a program i always find useful when doing any sort of astro shots. I am going to do a couple more videos with some free software for making rapid luminosity masks and how they work and "easy" they really are. Dan

Thanks J!

Took a trip out to a spot i have had on the radar for a while. Last night low mist and clouds was forecasted which meant anything low was probably going to be pants. I had no friends to play out so i asked two of the other kids and Mrs K if they fancied a late adventure with the bribe of a hot chocolate. Driving up to this spot about 22:50 we all seen a fireball out the car window due south. brighter than any light source around and my high beams. I arrived at the llyn and first impression looked promising so grabbed a few shot with the kids and Mrs K tucked them in cosy and made my way down in my waders. As you can see in the selfie jpeg i was surrounded by mist but the light wind kept it at bay long enough to even capture some in the stacked images and made its own shadow on the surface of the llyn. I love making memories with the family and last night was one of those nights. Sony A7 IV ISO 5000 F1.4 20MM Sigma Art shot at F1.4 for a test x35 lights stacked in sequator

Sky glow north

oh man hands down best bang for buck!!!!! ive had G masters and this is better

another showing the crazy sky glow last night

Sigma 20mm F1.4 DGDN Art . one with air glow and one with air glow removed .. what an absolute gem of a place just 20 mins from our new home

just a shame my home city 60 miles away makes this light dome but also allowed me to make a nice composition.

first one is a single image F1.8 iso 1250 10 seconds stacked is 20 images and then the perseids layered in PS

Stacked images and a few nice perseids

I went to a lovely spot night to try out my new Sigma 20mm F1.4 DG DN Art lens... How tight are those stars and the color! top right of the frame is M31 also known as the Andromeda Galaxy, our closet galactic neighbour. Just up off center is the double cluster in the constellation Perseus, and just below that we have a lone green Perseid. This is a single image no stacking to show just how good this lens is! Danski

first reports.........ME LIKEY. Sony A74 NO CROP FULL IMAGE.

Hi guys looking for ideas for a head for a grab and go set-up. The scope will be a short tubes frac like the gt81. So about 4kg payload. Ive looked at the skyetee2 and just wondering if there's anything else like that around. Thanks

Hey dude thanks 🙏 been a while 😆

Those are the chances we take for darker skies. Makes it Worth it when it pays off.

thanks Mark the north wales area has some stunning hidden gems like this

its a 1.5 hour drive or a 20 min drive from my mother in laws 😃 Friday traffic and a accident on the Donkey made that 1.5 hrs into 4 🥴 i was so close to turning round but glad i never.

I had a wicked trip out last night. took @wookie1965 to my dark area in wales. Apart from the horrific journey due to an accident we arrived to absolutely stunning skies. Sony a7IV 16-35 f2.8 gmaster ISO 4000 X30 lights 2ND ADDED 3rd Feeble comet attempt using benro Polaris mount
