My first "successful" photo with a star tracker. My 75-150mm old lens is bad which makes the stars look quite horrid. Pixinsights star reduction could fix this a bit, but I can't afford the software right now so I'm only using DSS + PS.

This was about 200x30sec exposures in bortle 4

Despite its flaws, I'm happy that I got something after months and months of failed shoots and cloudy skies. Thanks for the great astrophotography community for helping me!

/c/piracy matey. You can buy it later to show appreciation.

I wonder if there is safe torrents for a software that niche. Might have to check it out if I find a reliable site (in minecraft ofc I'm not a criminal)

Not bad for a simple DSLR + star tracker setup. That setup is just hard to manage. I started there too.
