Title: Anyone done astrophotography w/ Medium format digital?
Post by: Nstudio on June 02, 2013, 01:36:24 am
Hey everyone. Im Planning my gear for an epic Yosemite sojourn and while there's apparently a notable moonrise that occurs over a certain dome themes rock, I'm more interested in stars.   

I'm bringing a phase p+ series back and my hassy h1 but I'm wondering if I should consider bringing a cambo wide ds or some other such wide rig in order to get wider than a 35 hassy lens (h1 doesn't take the 28mm unfortch)... I imagine the wider the angle of the lens the longer one can expose without "making the jump to light speed" from earth rotation...streakers.

Anybody have experience they wish to share on shooting medium format astrophotography? What about tracking devices? My aim is to pack as little equipment and stay light weight as possible so I can roll deep into back country on foot...and make it back alive and whatnot I guess.

Excited for summer.

Try to post it in the Medium Format section. You may get more response.
