What gear is needed for astrophotography? My goal is to eventually try astrophotography as I love space. I’m curious about what kind of gear I would need to get decent photos.

Can someone please explain why I’m getting these lines when trying to shoot astrophotography photos? Firat photo: ISO 100, 135mm, f5.6, 13 sec. Second photo: ISO 100, 135mm, f5.6, 30 sec.

I really want to take some good star trails and was wondering if the camera wou…

Looking into used gear for astrophotography I’m looking to get more into astrophotography but I’m a broke college student that has a more limited budget. Typically I’ve always bought used as I would rather save money when I can. My budget for this lens is around 100-200 atm.

Recommend gear for Astrophotography? + a few questions I’m hoping to get into astrophotography this summer and I was hoping to get some advice.

I also have the most basic remote trigger to avoid c…
