Nano Tracker
I thought I'd post this shot I took last night with my new Sightron Nano Tracker. It was just an experiment to see how far I could push the little tracker. I'll be taking it away with me when our family goes on holidays next week. The recommended payload for the Nano Tracker is up to 2kg so I had to be careful not to overload it. This is a stack of only eight 20 second subs from suburban Melbourne with a near full moon rising and high clouds rolling past so it was far for ideal conditions but I just wanted to see what it could do with a long focal length lens. The manual suggests a maximum focal length of 50mm for full frame DSLR or 35mm for an APSC.
Details are: Sightron Nano Tracker on a Manfrotto tripod with a Modded Canon 550d and a Tamron 500mm f8 Mirror lens.
I should be able to get better results from a dark sky location with more subs.
