Hi Janx, this a great master piece. What is the exposure time and how do you follow the earth rotation ?

First: thank you. This is an integration of 15x80" single shots (total exposure: 20 minutes). Earth rotation was compensed with a motorized equatorial mount.

did you have your camera hooked to a telescope for this ? or did you just use the 300mm lense that is in the description?

No telescope. I used a Canon EF 300f/4L IS USM on a motorized equatorial mount.

I love it! Did you do this with a telescope?

never mind i see the answer lol brilliant!

PRO+

Impressed! Fantastic shot! This is something I hope to achieve, so much to learn :-)

Great picture, which motorized equatorial mount have you used?

Amazing shot, loving your work.
