Feb 13, 2022 at 2:15 comment added Tim Campbell @Neppomuk This part of the year you can grab the area of the sky near M42. e.g. I used a 135mm lens and got the Orion Nebula, Running Man, Flame, Horsehead and M72 ... and just a touch of Barnard's loop (I'd have needed a shorter focal length to get all of Barnard's loop) ... all in one frame.
Feb 12, 2022 at 23:44 comment added Neppomuk I've already got a tracker box (iOptron Pro). It's much exacter than my old Vixen Polarie (especially if you also use the Polar Aligner app), but requires a rail with counterweights when using a heavy camera and lens. So far, I've been photographing rather large targets: the Andromeda galaxy, the veil nebula, the North America nebula, open clusters etc.
