My lens is f2.8. Of course the bigger the aperture the better, but as Andromeda is really bright a slower lens will work just fine. As I‘m only a beginner myself I can recommend the Youtube channel ‚nebula photos‘.

I used a Fuji XT2 with a 80mm Fujinon lens. As a mount I used the Star adventerer 2i.

I think with your equipment you could achieve an even better image, I really can only encourage everyone to try this. It really is an awesome experience

Thank you!

This was shot with a tracker, the star adventurer 2i

Thanks! Yes, I was quite impressed that we got that much detail with 80mm and on our first try.

Wow cool to hear. I’m new to astrophotography and I use the equipment I have, I was very happy when I got such a good result for the first time trying

Yes exactly. The idea is basically the same as PWM, but in this case the frequency is given through the 50Hz of the power grid. You just control how much of each half wave you turn the light on. As our eyes are slow we just conceive it as an overall lower brightness.

Yes it is a led light bulb working on 230 ac. This works like any other triac phase dimmer, but it was indeed a fun project to try for yourself! Basically I build a another shelly device, but for far less money ;)
