Nebulae in Orion and Monoceros, over St Austell Bay
Here I used an astro-modified camera, to show the nebulae, mounted on a star-tracker running at half sidereal rate. That rate allows a slightly longer exposure without star-trailing, compared to a static camera, but does cause some blur of the ground. So, it's a compromise, and I'm not sure it worked out! Anyway, the 17 x 44-sec frames taken at ISO 6400 were stacked in Sequator software. Modified EOS 600D and Samyang 14mm f/2.8 at f/4 on a Vixen Polarie star tracker.
There should be more astro images to come, as we're having a good run of clear nights :-).
