Lubbyman got it bang on & saved me from typing it all

Stacking is widely used in astrophotography.

I have done stacks with 80 to 100 plus images.

There is something gooey about these i like

Last week I found on fleabay a Tokina 400m f5.6 telephoto lens... I read a few reviews by users and thought - what the hell, and got it for 60 quid!

I mainly bought it for astro work but I ill try it on other stuff as well.

This evening was the first time I had an opportunity to fanny with it. There was a break in the clouds so I grabbed it, a K5 and a Telemax MC4 KAX x2 teleconverter. I mooched in to my back yard.

These came out and I must say I am quite pleased with them!

Image #1 - 400mm f9 1/1250 ISO800 13 images stacked and PP in PS



Image #2 - With x2 converter 400mm (800mm) f9 (f18?) 1/1250 ISO800 25 images stacked and PP in PS

Last night I took a couple of lenses to a pond near Youlgreave in the Peak District.

Was a wonderfully quiet, tranqiul and BLOODY cold!!!

Here's a few results.

Happy new Year to everone too!







This one was taken in my back garden, when I got back. I shot this using the little Plastic Fantastic DA 50mm 1.8!

Flan.... i have just farted in your general direction....

I also missed the link too!!

That is so cool, but we could do something similar! Use mirror up shooting and remove the lens cap!!!

This is magic!!!!

Great shot

For me.... i would prefer to keep a mirror. This is because i am seeing everything in true colour and as i see it. Not tainted by electronics. Another reason is that it won't be a camera for me... it will be gawking at yet another screen!!

As i was told by a photographer i was talking to using a canon mirrorless... there is a slight delay with it when tracking moving objects.... this would put me off it straight away!
