This image was taken from a dark sky site, suing the Canon EOS 350D on a fixed tripod (that's right, absolutely no tracking platform or telescope mount or telescope at all!). At 1600ASA and 20 second exposures in the dark conditions good exposure detail could be achieved.
The field rotation and other movements between images are comphensated for by registering (aligning) the images using RegiStar.
It is interesting to compare this 20 second dark sky image to a 5 minute tracked

It is interesting to compare this 20 second dark sky image to a 5 minute tracked exposure from light polluted skies.
Is this possibly the easiest form of astro photography possible?
