Hi everyone
I'm new to this forum. Be gentle.
I have always been into the stars, astronomy etc. I love the 1-2 times a year I find myself in the country at 2-3 am on a clear, moonless night... it's breathtaking. It makes you wonder and think.
I have been dabbling a little bit in astrophotography - just mucking around, getting a feel for it.
What I need to know:
1) How can I best set up my Canon 50D with a Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens for Astrophotography? Is this a good lens to use? If not, what would be a good cheap lens to use?
2) Alternatively, what cheapish (<$500) compatible telescope could I get to work with my Canon 50D and how would I set this up?
3) How do you layer multiple exposures of a photo to get a great pic like the current IOTW? I have never understood how you do this and still get the stars to match up correctly
Thanks everyone for your help in advance.
Cheers
Jared
