I am thinking about buying a camera, but not exclusively for astrophotography. Since this will be my first own camera, I don’t want to spend too much money. For that reason, I looked mainly for Micro four thirds, specifically the lumix g85. I dont know what category of ap I will like the most/focus on, but until now I only tried deep space with a relatives camera. I know I probably wont be able to get images like most in this community, but I want to know your experiences. How far can I get with stacking? What should I look out for in Bodies and lenses?
m4/3 sensors won’t have as good of noise performance as a larger sensor with larger pixels. Maybe look into a cheaper APS-C camera. B&H will have a good used selection too, you’ll be able to get a better camera that way.
I’ve gotten a surprisingly good deal on lenses and cameras on shop Goodwill. My xsi was less than 50$ with shipping. Is it current gen or anywhere near perfect for Astro? Nope. But for the price, it’ll do.
Waiting for clear skies to test my og star tracker with it and a 50mm f1.4 lens. I’ve gotten ok untracked shots but I lose a lot with the shorter exposures
