Can the Astrotrac handle a 500 mm lens? Trying to capture the Andromeda galaxy

That's a great result and shows you don't always need the latest and greatest mount to take a nice image.

Thank you! I've always believed in working with what you've got 🙂

[@MartinFransson]

I just subbed to your channel by the way 🙂

[@petesastrophotography]

@@MartinFransson Awesome, thank you! :)

[@dinokaki]

wow! I'm surprised to find someone like you still using this mount, glad you made this video to make us believe this old gear still hold up and get the job done. Good job~
I love this mount~

[@MartinFransson]

Thanks! Actually, this mount is the only one I'm using at the moment. Too much hassle with the fixed mount, cooled camera, filters etc. I love the simplicity combined with some serious capacity.

Superb result, Martin. It’s always interesting to see how equipment can be pushed to the limit like this. 👍

[@MartinFransson]

Great result. How does the stars look like with the lens wide open. CA and Coma? Sharpness? I would like to see a sub if you like to Share.

[@MartinFransson]

Hi! Well, there is of course some flaring and coma but not that bad. I can email you a sub, where should I send it?
