Astrophotographer 10

With Lightroom CC 2018 you can import the zipped file straight into Lightroom. You go to the develop module and up the top underneath the histogram you'll see profile. On the right hand side of ...

That would be the one, it needs the cutout in the vertical part so the screen can flip around and not impede the screen's movement. With no cutout you can still get decent movement but not the ...

Its certainly worth a try and next time I have my camera out I'll try with and without UV filters. I would take that article with a grain of salt as there were several inaccuracies in it. It may ...

ISO is merely amplification but its also true the read noise is lower at higher ISO. But raising the ISO and stacking the same number and same aperture won't get you more detail. Dynamic range ...

I have the Peipro. its beautiful and allows the screen to tilt out most of the way and I also use it for astro. to tilt and swivel all the way the vertical part of the L needs a large cutout. i was ...

The Tamron is extremely popular, much cheaper than the GM but also a lot lighter. I have the GM and its a gorgeous lens but it is heavy. I notice no one is recommending the Riii. I have an Rii and ...

Interesting. I didn't read the whole test but the conclusion that the glass in the lenses wipes out the UV is interesting with few lens exceptions. So I would conclude that there is no gain to be ...

Yes that is exactly the problem. Fast 1.4 lenses invariably have distortions of stars into the corners. These disappear if you take a panorama and overlap a decent amount. There are quite a few ...

I did see the menu's on a You Tube video. Also the updated Imaging Edge software has some features about creating the time lapse so it may be you can shoot in RAW. I would also like it to do a ...

More chromatic aberration from UV? Being out of focus in blue is a common optical aberration I notice. Blue rings around bright stars. I have a Nikon 50mm F1.8G and I recently used it on my FLI CCD ...

I have imaged with dedicated astro cams with a clear filter with no UV/IR block. Also the standard luminance filter (clear) has a UV/IR block. Some image without a luminance filter at all to pick ...

Unfortunately Michael Rokinon/Samyang quality is very hit or miss. Mostly miss. I had a 12mm F2 that was good. It mostly only showed a bit of blue fringing to bright stars on an APSc Fuji. That ...

Yes but its my understanding that IBIS is less effective on long focal lengths and works better on shorter ones. Greg.

There was a thread on Sony FF forum or perhaps it was Sony mirrorless lens forum where the astro ability of the GM was discussed. Roses posted a link to their evaluation and basically they ...

Also Canon has promised a major firmware upgrade for EOS R by April. Fuji has set a very good example here. Greg.

One question I have regarding IBIS is whether it adds noise to long exposures. IBIS must be generating a small amount of heat. I did notice with the advent of IBIS but also at the same time BSI ...

Exactly. Talk of IBIS worsening images may find the odd example here and there (I have never personally seen any in my use) but the improvements on a regular basis far outweigh any negative. Not ...

I have the Meikon housing for my A7rii. I presume they make one for the A7riii as well. I used the 55 1.8 lens. It worked very well. The only lens choices though are the 24-70 F4 or the 55 1.8. It ...

Those pages are written in Japanese. Greg.
