Title: Milky way - reloaded.
Post by: A.S.I.G.N_Baz on Aug 26, 2011, 03:27:19
Finally! I got a clear night with no moon, no clouds, and no work the next day!! I stayed out until around 2am and shot a range of things I have been meaning to experiment with.

First cab off the rank - the milky way, around 4 minutes using an EQ6 pro mount under my camera to track the stars for the duration.

Baz.

Thanks everyone! Mike it was the 5D MK II.

Mac, no more subs mate. I wasn't out there to do that kind of work this time, I just shot one while I was waiting for the Milky Way to move into position behind a select foreground. Maybe next time.  :D
