I'm using a D610 with a Nikon 20mm f1.8g and it's a great combo for wide field tracked or untracked. F2.5 to prevent abberations or f2 for panorama. Just got a 135 samyang f2 and that is superb ...

One last question.. the viewfinder focus assist arrows/dot turns off after about 6 seconds. I've gone through every menu setting and Google to see if there is a way of extending the cut off but a ...

Thanks. Found it eventually in the manual!

Hi When using the above in manual mode the D610 viewfinder has focus assist arrows with a center dot in the viewfinder display to indicate when in focus. I'm usually using live view for astro but ...

To be fair, it  tracks accurately and for wide angle DSLR it's a neat idea,  but at certain points it drifts radially due to that bush so I have to check all the frames. It has got me interested in ...

I recently bought an LX3 and have had some issues with the ball mount rocking on the drive shaft. This was causing some frames to trail (although there are quite a few keepers-even up to 200mm) so ...

Update.. Very good head and useful for pano etc however: 1: Started seeping thick tacky grease from one of the housings 2: The locking handles.. quite short which is good but you need to make sure ...

Compressed jpg. Saudi desert. Bad conditions over 100F and wind/dust and light pollution. Very orange and had to lightroom quite a bit.. Single shot untracked D610 20mm f2.2 15s Iso 1600 with ...

Cheers! I've done a bit of background reading and been out a couple of times but the tracker is new territory. The Nikon 20mm is a great lens but I get coma up to f2. 2 and I tend to be critical ...

Thanks for your responses Gentlemen, appreciated

Hi I've recently bought an LX3 tracker and so far I'm pretty pleased. Test shots using a 70-300 have given sharp stars at long exposures with the odd duff frame I'm heading to the desert in a ...

Thanks N, appreciated

Hi all I do a fair bit of Astro with the D610 and am thinking of adding a 135mm Samyang to allow some tighter framing (currently use a Nikon 20 mm F1.8G) It's a manual focus lens with an AE chip ...

Thanks for the feedback, I'll run a set of test shots at various apertures to see if I can confirm it's an aperture issue. The one thing that confuses me is the shutter speed is shown as 1/40 s in ...

Thanks Goosel. Would that drop the shutter speed in the EXiF data though?

Hello I have a D610 and a few Nikon lenses, 50mm F1.8D, 20mm F1.8G, 70-300 AFP FX Al of these work fine, generally get a good balanced exposure when using matrix metering. However I have some ...
