I found a new lens for you, Kris...

Perfect for astrophotography. It's been used, tho, and it's vintage...

I'm currently on vacation in Tybee Island, GA and I got a few shots last night of the Milky Way:

I took this one last night at Red Feather Lakes

This was my first attempt at a star trails picture. I had the camera take 150 pictures at 20 seconds each, but somehow I only ended up with 76 photos. Don't know what went wrong, but I think the effect was still achieved. Then I stacked the images in Nik, on their HDR program. Turned out pretty good for my first try at it, I think.

Here are a few I did last night out on the eastern plains near Last Chance. I think 1. Is my favorite.

I used my 14mm Rokinon 2.8 and a Zeiss 21mm 2.8 Distagon with my Canon 6D
6400 ISO and exposures ranges between 20-30 seconds

[TheRealChrisBrown]

Your photos are amazing!

Thanks, but it's Kris (Walter White) who keeps me looking to try new shots.

 

[Legonch]

Holy crap guys, those pictures are amazing!!!

I took this image tonight, still 99% of full (last night was the 100% supermoon). It's 8 images taken through my giant telescope with DSLR attached, then stitched together, then processed. I think it turned out pretty good:
