You can well say that! Pretty exciting. Great result! But really only 20 seconds?? Or is it a mistake?

Thank you :-) . I confirm the 20 seconds, I use an lx3 minitrack and with those focal lengths they are already past the recommended times. I believe that with my equipment room for improvement there may be looking for less polluted sites (the photo I made in the city, bortle sky 7) and studying some specific software.

I mean, is it just a 20" picture?? Or are more 20 shots integrated? Anyway I think with a tracker (unless you put too much weight on it) the minute goes through it with ease. In any case, I think the signal-to-noise ratio is exceptional!

Sorry... I didn't understand. That's 199 20" shots plus 40 darks, 40 flats and 40 biases. As for the weather, at 400mm I don't know if there are "field" trackers that guarantee you a minute of exposure, but I'm still pretty ignorant on the subject

Aaah ok, now it's all clear :-D that's where the great SNR comes from!!
As far as time and focal point is concerned, for the Pleiades I think that already 200/250mm (equivalent) is enough and allow you to definitely have more than 1 min for each subframe (at most croppi a little bit the final file). I have the star adventurer and with a 135mm mounted on an APS-C sensor, so 202 mm equivalent, I do 4 min without the slightest problem; I have not tried more but I think you can, if the weights are less than those supported and well balanced, there is no problem. Of course, you can't think of shooting from 600"... I don't know the minitrack, but I don't think it changes much.

For the minitrack it is recommended to divide 100 by the focal length (equivalent FF), although with a very accurate polar alignment it seems that we can go further. I really like the star adventurer, but for now I still have to figure out what to invest money on. For example, I understand that a program like pixinsight (quite expensive) can have a lot of impact on the end result.

A result to applause, dear Alan!
