Thanks so much for the invite @Frederic 🙏🏻😍 - I believe I am in and am looking forward to it 🤩! I'll have a few camera bodies (all Canon, one modified)), two star trackers and a few lenses (14mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.8 and 135mm f/2). And whatever else fits in the car 😂. Thanks again!

Great to have you in @samamara!! Already looking forward to it!

I remember we spoke a long time back about the fact you were using a crop lens on your Full Frame 5D Mark4  to give you that extra throw. Must have been 5 years back or so.

Oof that was soooo long ago! We need to do this more often 😂. I don't use that crop lens anymore - though I still have it if anyone needs to borrow it 🤔 it's a great Tokina 11-14mm (for Canon). Let me know if I should toss it in the bag.

Have to call it off, hurt my back.  Bummer, I was really looking forward to look at how everybody does this stargazing, never got to grips witg it myself.  Wanted to use this motorized rotating base for a nice timelapse.  

Hoping for a next episode at some point.

Enjoy, and please do post pics!!
