It’s odd. There is so much in our night sky that we can’t see without photographic tricks or high-end electronics. It’s amazing that the entire sky is nothing but stars.
Seems like a big waste of space. :)
Not really that high end on the electronics. Probably less than $1000 worth of equipment can get a photo like that. I’ve got a $500 camera and a tripond and can get close to that.
A motor for tracking and a remote shutter release would put me over the top.
