Re: My astrophotography 2022

In northern Thai, the M31 galaxy is super high in the night sky. Adding to that is the advantage of low light pollution. For the first time I used the polar scope to do the polar alignment.

Mobilephone astrophotography On my trip to northern Thailand, I experimented mobilephone astrophotography using my new mobile phone. Thanks to the 1/1.22" sensor size and F1.7 fast lens, it is a handy tool for non deep sky wide field pictures of the night sky. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/...

Re: Norwood Lane time lapse

Outstanding 360deg timelapse and trails animation!

Re: My astrophotography 2022
