Hello from the biggest red area on the light pollution map

.

The universe is never ending and that's what I love about it. Recently I've been busy by getting to know astrophotography, because I like to photograph a lot also. Tomorrow my Star Adventurer will finally be delivered after a month of waiting

. I hope to get some awesome results with my Canon 6D Mark 2 and 100-400 telephoto lens. I'm afraid I will be spending a lot of money in the upcoming months/years on gear… Everything for the best results, right?

Sincerly,
Davy

Welcome to astrobin!
I'm having a lot of fun with my 6D and 135mm lens! I can be fun to try to squeeze out the most from modest gear! And frustrating at time

Hello, from can ada
In polluted area, shoot with H-a, O-III and Si-II and your results are a little better. Try it!
Have a look at my images, no that they are good, but an improvement over what they were.

clear skies to you.

Welkom! It's definitely a money pit hobby, but if you start out buying one piece at a time, it's manageable. Just try to avoid adding up the cost of all your gear a few years from now. ;D

Hallo Davy,

Welkom in deze prachtige hobby. Ben nu zelf een jaar bezig en gisteravond tot 03:00 Andromeda M31‘geschoten’. Dat is voor jou ook een geschikt object om mee te beginnen. De Pleiaden zijn ook mooi op dit moment. Stap voor stap deze hobby uitbouwen houdt het leuk!
Succes!

Welcome to this beautiful hobby. I’ve been shooting M31 yesterday. That would be a good target for you to start with. Also the Pleiades. Take it step by step to keep this hobby enjoyable.
Good luck!

Your description of equipment that you have is a parallel of my own experience. I would say its a veery solid way to get started. All the best, welcome to Astrobin! Its a great place for advice.

There should be dark sites all over Europe, the EU must add this to its long ToDo list 😀
Anyway, great to have you on board. Wide field images are a preference of mine.
