Look at a lot of Zeiss' most poppy lenses. Not the sharpest. Check out Thorsten Overgaard...

You need to check out 80s and 90s Marillion. Just Cause! 😀

Which one is better in your opinion and why?

Don't use a mac so let's nip that one in the bud :-D I'll use deepskystacker by the sounds of it. I'm not too worried by a bit of coma that i'll get if I shoot the 24mm 1.4 at f/1.4-f/2.2. Like I ...

A bit to attach a lens and a rate button.

The other reason, the screen grab looks like it's taken straight from a porn! And these are music videos that children can easily see! Why do we have to put it all on display these days like this? ...

Nice one Mr split! Hope you are well.

Ah right I'm shooting FX. I'll prob use my 24mm 1.4G for some shots (about the same equiv as your 16 on DX), I know it works well for this already. Just need to optimise it n all...

I still think that's inherently wrong Eric. For the most part, no matter the sensor ETTR is going to stop those noisy shadows looking bad when pulled up. And pulled up a lot they will need to be if...

Is this a 16mm full frame lens?

I'll try with my 24mm 1.4 nikkor, see if I can get it to work, but I will bear this info from this thread in mind.

Very nice, i'll be happy with this achieved without a tracker. I've done a lot of night photography but it's more 'artistic' takes on the night etc. I've been reading the clark vision website, a ...

Thank you to all, I will use this info shortly on my next dark sky outing.

Thanks yes, I'm aware of that, obviously a tracker is better but I'm not going to be getting a tracker anytime soon so I'll maximise what I have so that's why I enquired re this method. It'll ...

Thanks for the info, so if I were to obtain this software, the technique should work, would I have to modify it in any way?

But fast glass like a 24mm f1.4, 35mm f2, 50mm 1.4, 135 f2 etc can someone explain something for me? I see a lot of people taking multiple shots and averaging them, ala 20-25 shots (let us say for ...

I've done side by side tests, file "averagely" exposed the way the camera thinks it should be in matrix metering, and brought that file up with exposure bias in post in the shadows enough for a...

I did not mean pulling back the highlights by purely playing with the highlight slider, (because that would not be proper working of an ETTR file) of course I meant exposure, locally in areas...

* Highlight recovery sliders usually rely on only one of the color channels having truly clipped, and try to guess the value of the clipped channels, based on the remaining, unclipped one, so tend...
