This blog is for tracking my Deep Sky Astrophotography efforts, problems and solutions I encounter, equipment and DIY topics. Hopefully it will help others starting in this hobby to avoid some of the obstacles I've had to work through. -Josh Knutson-

It's been a while since I've been active in my Astrophotography, and thus, a while since I've updated my blog. I'm in the middle of piecing a new setup together so I thought it would be a good idea to dust off the camera and make a few tests before all of the new components arrive. I've made modifications to the camera and wanted to make sure it was still performing well. I captured 3 hours of star motion near Polaris. The attached image is only about 1 hour worth of data stacked so far, using 60 second exposures at ISO 200. Nothing special here other than putting the camera on a tripod and letting it rip. As soon as I process the rest of the data I'll update the image and include a Polar rotation video clip.
