Tracking is no good for me.
My goal is to do time-lapses of much wider views of the milky way
WITH various exotic horizons. No good doing longer tracking there or you get blurred foregrounds. 30 seconds is nominal with my current 18mm F3.5, but I could capture much more light in the same or even a shorter exposure,
WITHOUT star tails or motion blur on the horizon.
As I said before, there is a middle ground somewhere and I
HATE the fisheye effect.
