Hi, I've just posted about my experience using the unmodified Sony A6000 for astrophotography. This is one image captured which has subsequently been stacked in Deep Sky Stacker. {} The final stacked images are here: http://myphotojourney.co.uk/sony-a6000-astrophotography/ I have to say that what I have written are my initial impressions, which are that the A6000 works pretty well for astrophotography. I do need more time using it though to truly tease out the negatives with this camera. One thing I will need to explore, is whether the contrast-detect pixels do have an impact on the images captured. Boon www.myphotojourney.co.uk
Thanks. I think if I had used higher ISO, perhaps I would have captured even more detail. Just goes to show that the digital camera captures more detail than we think. Boon www.myphotojourney.co.uk
yes the galaxy stack is good -a slight green hue for me though -usually it has a creamier colour -what iso were you using: so far in my testing the sony cams can be pushed to iso3200 what f/l was it shot at? unfortunately andromeda is too low for me down here in Australia to capture
I think the colour has to do with the use of the Astronomik CLS-CCD filter. Plus the A6000 is Unmodified, so will not be as sensitive in the H-alpha region. But it should be something which can be improved by setting the right white balance. I used a combination of both ISO 400 and 800 subs. So did not push the camera at all. I will try this using ISO 1600, 3200 and 6400 to see what results I get. But I am limited significantly by light pollution where I live. I used the William Optics Megrez 72 which is 430mm (= 645mm on A6000). Boon www.myphotojourney.co.uk
