Good on you for demonstrating this, an important illustration of what can be done without having to delve into the world of Mounts, guiding and heavy weight gear.
When I was taking astro pics, I set my daughter up with a 500mm refractor, alt-az mount and dslr, taking a similar approach to you. She took a couple of hundred 1 or 2 second exposures of Carina and was really proud of the result.
I'd love to see what you can do with a 100mm ��

Thank you for your encouragement.
I think 100 mm fl is possible but I believe my interest will be confined to getting as wide as possible of the milky Way I am excited that I can go down to 20 mm next time out.
I will be exploring short exposures with my RASA 11 as such an approach holds the promise of managing seeing rather well... but unless this rain gives it a rest I can only speculate.
Thanks again
Alex
