Strange weird, but very different/interesting.

Wow, really great. As your files contain no exif-data: can you explain how you made these: lens, ISO, exposure time, etc... One fish-eye is clear...

Did you use the astro-tracer ? It looks like not from the foreground; or did you do some photo-shopping ? Anyhow I would like to learn how to do this, and probably others too....

Tommy, Tommy , again beautiful and amazing milky way.

Is make with OGPS-1 Pentax ?

Valeriu

Michael de Ruijter · Jul 18, 2013

Excellent shots!

My favourites are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

If I had to pick only one it would be 2 and 6.

only 2 lenses were used in this trip, sigma 10-20 and samyang 8mm. ISO3200 used in most of the photos. For exposure time, some 2min and the fisheye milky way is 5min max with OGPS1.

For sure I already Lightroom-ing all the photos. :-D

O-GPS1 is now on my ever growing shopping list...

Thank you for your pictures, they are just amazing! :0)

Really impressive results. And all without stacking, and just with the OGPS (long time ago I made photos with old film cameras mounted on a telescope with parallax-mounting, what allowed to follow the apparent movement of the sky).

Beautiful! Great! Where did you take these? How would you rate the sky there, seen with the naked eye?

I took these from a national park called Loagan Bunut National Park located at Miri, Sarawak. Malaysia. Most probably I will rate the sky there 4/5. Milky way can see it via naked eye.

Thanks, Klaus.

Dear Tommy, what is your advice for ISO , for astrophotography.

Only 2500 and 3200 like in your amazing video , or is possible with ISO 80 , with OGPS 1 ?

I see is possible for camera Pentax K5 , stay open 5 minutes with OGPS 1.

Thank you, Valeriu

ISO80 is too little. IMHO.

Valeriu 64 · Jul 19, 2013

But ideal ISO is ?

Thank you, Valeriu
