Seriously impressive! Was this using the accessory astrotracer or the integrated one in K1/K1.II?

This is amazing. I've wanted to get back into astro but haven't ever managed to pick myself up for it.
Were you at a dark site for this?
All the gear with no idea

I used the K1ii and DFA150-450 for this but have had equal success with the O-GPS1 on my K3 in the past. Stacking the images and using dark frames has made a huge difference to how the images end up and enables higher ISO settings for greater sensitivity.

I am in Lanzarote so yes, dark skies. Not a lot of light pollution but there is some.

That's one of the best M42 astrotracer shots I've ever seen - I'll have to have a go again myself but I doubt I'll get to this standard

I've yet to give the astro tracer a go, been promising myself I'd try it, just never got around to it.
These are phenomenal,
You could probably do a blog / vlog on doing these, I'm sure it would be a huge success. And very much appreciated

Somewhere warm and sunny
This was 33 images stacked in Deep Sky Stacker. Each image was 10 seconds f5.6 ISO1600 @ 450mm also 10 darks were used to smooth out the noise.
