Milky Way at The Pinnacles Desert, Western Australia
Nikon d5500
50mm + Hoya Red Intensifier filter
ISO 4000
f/2.2
84 x 8 seconds
This is an 84 image panorama of the Milky Way over The Pinnacles Desert in Western Australia. I had initially wanted to use my tracker for this one but unfortunately it was giving me grief so I had to settle for untracked images instead. The original iOptron SkyTracker can sometimes have its cogs tightened too much out of the factory which can lead to its motor stopping which is what was happening to my unit. Lucky it's an easy fix, just unwind the screws a touch and it's been good ever since :)
