Which GoTo telescope (kind, brand...) would you recommend me to buy to use in astrophotography along with a Canon EOS Rebel T5?

Beautiful shot. I'm ready to go out in that boat. smile

That reminds me of one of the most serene and surreal experiences I've had under the stars. I was kayaking on a bay on a moonless summer night. Almost no light pollution, and it was dark enough to see the Milky Way. But the water was also filled with bio-luminescent plankton, and every disturbance -- a paddle stroke, the bow wave, fish swimming around -- would produce a storm of glowing particles. It was a sea of stars both above and below.

Well the clouds cleared out after all, so I got to photograph the moon. Maybe I'll try this again with the same camera & lens when it's an apogee full moon and compare the sizes side by side. smile

25 images at 300mm, f/6.3 1/400s ISO100, wavelet enhanced in Registax.

Cool picture, Watsisname, and I would love to see a comparasion between super moon and micro moon. I missed the super moon because of heavy cloud coverage. sad




Love SpaceEngine!

A shot of the Moon I got last week, processed extensively to bring out the Moon's subtle natural colors.

Bonus: part of an image I got recently while playing with a 500mm lens for the first time. Minimal processing.

Very cool. That really enhances the ejecta rays.

A selfie I took earlier this summer. The only source of light is the moon. smile (and a tiny bit more from stars and airglow)

Wonderful. I love moonshine photography. The scenery is almost black and white while you do the photography, and when you look at the shots afterwards, then you discover all the colours.

Exactly. smile It's also interesting just to be out under moonlight in the dark country. If you've grown up in a city you're used to the Moon being just another light in a constant bombardment of lights, but in the country it becomes a very powerful presence -- not just in the sky but also in the environment all around you. It's an experience I wish more people get to have, along with seeing the Milky Way.

Not to mention, in the country the stars are actually visible.

Cool meteor and nice analysis. That was a steep entry!
