Image taken on 8/1/2018 consisting of 60 x 1 minute  exposures with my Canon 6d and Samyang 135mm lens at f2 sat atop my star adventurer.  Processed in Photoshop and saved as a PNG file for display on here.

Thanks. It's actually 60x 58.6 second subs. The intervalometer I bought isn't very good at taking exposures for the time I set and it chews through batteries like no one's business. I may need to get a better one.

why not use the star adventurer to take the exposures  it will do up to 99 seconds just plug remote cord into camera and Star adventurer set switch at the side of the SA to north /or south and turn dial to star  and it will do it all without intervention (you will get 49 seconds with the switch in between north and south)and to stop it just turn the dial on the SA to off  and you can power the star adventurer with a mobile power-bank through the usb port.

I wasn't aware this was possible, thanks. I'll have to do some more research into this.

Do you need the updated firmware though for the intervalometer?

That's a super lens. m45 at that length is great.

Yes it is. My only regret is not getting one sooner. I kept putting it off to buy other pieces of equipment.
