Testing my 50mm f1.4 for astrophotography use.
Seems to work really well, Now I just need some good weather and a lot of patience.
20 light frames
4 dark
2 bias
Stacked with Deep sky stacker (took 15 minutes using losless TIFF's from my converted RAW's, even using all 4 processors!), edited in photoshop afterwards (heavy levels work), Desaturated because the bottom half had a blue tint.
20 light frames were shot at F2, ISO 400, 8" (any longer than 8 seconds and I saw star trails)
I just pointed the camera south, didn't look for any constellations or anything cool. Full moon was out tonight and the sky was still tinted slightly blue. Also the sky wasn't perfectly clear either, in other words a shitty night to try this on. HOWEVER i've been waiting weeks to even get a clear sky so I did my test shots tonight anyway.
