a7 III

C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) captured with my usual and modest astromodified a7III at 600mm. By pure chance, I was able to try the Sony 200-600mm a couple of nights ago. My intention was to make a few tests, to shoot Andromeda, Orion, and the Pleiades just to see how they look at 600mm, and I thought of givin

Honestly for $700 I would skip that and get something mirrorless. Camera gear is something I think is wise to buy used, because when it's time to upgrade, you don't lose your ass. For your purposes, especially the low light activities, I'd say grab a Sony A7 ii ($500-700ish) or A7 iii body ($700-$10

I had a FF Sony kit and an M43 kit for the longest time. A7III for pretty much everything that wasn’t wildlife, EM1 MK3 for wildlife. On a whim, I picked up a cheap used Lumix 14-140mm mkII off of facebook and took just the Olympus with me for a trip. When I came home and went through my pics, I dum

This is a single 6 second exposure at iso 3200, f1.8 on a Sony A7 iii with a Viltrox 16mm and while I know this isn’t really the edge of the earth it’s more a play on the fact that there isn’t any major land mass facing south beyond New Zealand apart from Antarctica. This was towards the end of the

It keeps surprising me how many places there are where I live and how many Milky Way compositions I can find. One day you’re at the top of a frozen mountain, another at the beach, and another in a desert — just an hour’s drive away. This one was kinda a long hike, with snow inside my boots and every
