AzAlt and AZ-GTi

Hi everyone,

Firstly, such incredible pictures you’ve all posted here!

Anyway, I was wondering if there’s anyone who’s managed to really go down the rabbit hole of astrophotography whilst sticking with an az/alt mount, and if so, what the experience has been like? I do realise that it has quite significant inherent limitations. Similar question for anyone using the Skywatcher AZ-GTi mount (I’m aware of the ability to convert it into an equatorial setup).

Finally, please find my two feeble first attempts (sort-of, the first image I made of Orion is frankly unpublishable), of Carina and the Sombrero galaxy. Both approx. 20 minutes worth of 10s subs with the AZ-GTi, Skywatcher 130P, Olympus EM-5 ii from inner Sydney.

Cheers!
