Night Stars in the Dolomites

Stars in the Dolomites · 09:10 AM

This is my first serious attempt at star photography. We went camping and had great views with almost no ambient light. Let me know which one is your favorite. Also I would welcome feedback on how I can improve for next time.

You make it difficult to choose a favorite. I like them all.

Excellent for the first serious attempt.Orion Telescopes makes a tracking tripod that you attach your camera to and it follows the stars and constellations so that you get no trails and it's only $159!Here's a link to the page of the catalog.Let me know if you can open it.If you can't just go to the Orion telescope site and search astro-imaging in their catalog.--charliezap

I have thought about getting a tracking tripod but i have some other stuff on my list to buy before that. If you use one of those you wouldn't be able to have anything in the foreground because it would blur right? Thanks for the link I will have to add that to the wish list.
