Ramon, I love your photos. I’d like to begin to learn how you were able to achieve success.
I currently own a Sony A-6000 mirrorless camera. I’m awaiting a Vixen T Ring for it. I just picked up an Astromania 1.25″ Extendable Camera Adapter – for Either Prime-Focus Or Eyepiece-Projection Astrophotography with Refractors or Reflector Telescopes – Threaded for Standard 1.25inch Astronomy Filters.
Is there any advice that you’d care to share with me to allow me to try to duplicate your images?
What camera are you using? What equipment are you using in conjunction with the camera? What camera settings have you found that allows you capture such beautiful images? What type[plossl] and brand of Lenses are you using?
I’ll understand if you prefer not to share BUT I hope you’ll consider allowing me to achieve a measure of success.
I own a Lunt 60mmSS and an 80mm DS. The 60 is my go to for daily observations because of its ease of setting up.
So in closing, I want to thank you first for inspiration and second for reading this and third if you chose to respond. I know that the information you have acquired came by much effort on your part, but I hope that you’ll be willing to share for the Lunt Community.
Jerry
