Took these the other night at Crago observatory, as for the Rho Ophiuchus region, it was my first attempt at this target.
First picture:
11x60 second exposures.
Canon 6D
24-70mm f2.8 @ 70mm f4 ISO 4000
Astrotrac TT320X-AG
Stacked in DSS and edited in CS6
I like how the colours turned out, I cant help but imagine how it would have turned out under darker skies
The second is a panorama of 5 frames, 60 seconds each, same ISO but at 50mm. I think I captured too many stars as this was a little tricky to edit. I would love tips on how to reduce how many stars come out as it is a little overwhelming when you view it at full quality.
Thankyou for the kind words! I have only recently tried longer exposures of the Milky Way using the astrotrac, I had almost 2 months of bad weather coupled with bad timing stopping me but I am pleasantly surprised at how the pictures turned out.
As for the ISO, I check the histogram on camera just to make sure the colours aren't clipped, but the 6D works well at 4000 ISO, it is a wonderful camera.
