So I have been reading about astrophotography lately.
wow beautiful stuff.. not like my shots at all ..lol
Well not yet...
Everywhere you look people are using cable releases for their cameras.
I can not report on them or compare to the f remote as I have literally had an slr ( k-X ) for about three weeks; but I just wanted to throw it out there that I am fairly impressed!
Im not going into specs on the unit but it works very well.
Having said that I am disappointed that you have to shoot it line site and from the front.
It is a bit awkward looking through the finder to focus manually, in 3 ft snow, on stars at 20 below and then reaching past the tripod and pointing the thing at the receiver.
I know I could set up my shot walk away and take it but Im silly I guess.
Plus new to the hobby, I was changing the setting every time to experiment with ISO shutter speed and what not.
I do like that the response when registered works instantly.
I wish I could have it auto-focus like the camera with the semi push of the button but its great for photos where I can jump in!
1 - 5, 1 being low its a 5 ... just don’t be like me and finagle yourself into an awkward spot.
My best all..
