Last week I was in Wales.... and if you saw the weather report you probably know whre I am going with this!!
So grabbed my K3, a tripod and an ND1000 filter and went for a play on the way to, and in, Llanberis Pass.

If you are wanting to do some wide field astrophotography. Then spend the extra cash (about 20 to 30 quid more), and get an iOptron SkyTracker Pro. It is far more capable than the O-GPS2.

Steve,
The crop on FF will still give you the same image as a cropped sensor.
But....
Can understand the weight thing. It's like having a bolder hanging off your shoulder

As an addendum to LennyBloke's info....
Full frame DSLR's are usually at the higher end of model ranges. Thus they tend to produce much better images. With better noise control, better metering, better colour rendition, and better definition. Drawback is cost, not just interns of body price, but also lens cost. This is especially so, if most of your lenses are for a cropped sensor.
I have recently got a full frame DSLR, from another manufacturer, and it has thrown me back 30 years to my 35mm film days. I am loving it!
I now want a Pentax K1, and by the gods, I will get one!!! (Luckily I have plenty of full frame lenses)

If I had to guess, I'd say it was the Spud Nebula.
It is NGC6888 Crescent Nebula in the constellation of Cygnus. It's 5000 lightyears from earth, that is 29,500 Trillion miles... As a matter of interest, what is the object in the image?

On Monday I went out with the intention of doing a timelapse of the Perseids meteor shower.... but I cocked it up. I set me bit of kit to do anti clockwise, instead of clockwise!
But oh boy what a mistake!
