In the trees.

In the trees.
I set out to find my limits for single shots tracked I started with 20 sec then worked up to 1 min by 10 sec intervals. So I stayed within the trees so I had a reference point.

40 sec looks ok as long as you dont look at the trees very close I believe 30 sec is the real limit but still not as crisp as a static 20 sec shot in truth.

Any thoughts ???

Sami thanks for the input I will try and use the normal method and tracked as well for how they suit best. this is about the only shot I got that did not have a car ruck or plane in it . car is just to the left but the trees gave me some thing to use as a reference for the time and the tracker.

Hi Steve

As always, very beautiful. I am so envious of your clear skies, and resulting pictures.

My limited experience of night time astronomical shots suggests that 20 secs is about the longest you can take without relative movement being noticed. But, since trees move in the wind anyway, does it matter? In my humble opinion, No! This is a beautiful picture regardless!!

Best Wishes, and a good weekend

I am trying to work out my limits to get the most out of the tracker. 30 seconds is the real limit in these sorts of shot but for detail it is 20 seconds alright. we suffer from a lot of atmospherics if its not raining you can see a brown band next to the ground dust and smoke. Only true winter its clear.

I have a clear idea just how I can use the tracker going forward for deep space and wide angle shots.

glad that you think so its a place I have been to many time but its always a different view I get. you have the camera and its then only finding as dark a sky as you can get. the hardest part is giving it a go.
