Sky images taken with the Canon T90 from 1988-1997In early years I already did a lot with Astrophotography with SLRs but not with sensor based ones but film based ones. These pictures are taken with the T90 which I purchased in 1986 and was the top model SLR camera of Canon. The telescope was (from 1995 on) which I used until 2015: the Televue Genesis 10cm f/5 apochromatic refractor with the Vixen Super Polaris mount with an RA tracking motor. Due to a too long tube length I replaced it by an 110mm f/7 ED telescope, although longer in focal length, it has a shorter build length for easier carry-on luggage on an airplane. The DIY tripod I still use as of 2025. The images were all taken on Fuji Film 100 ASA or 400 ASA. It appears that the 400 ASA images are grainier than the 6400 ASA pictures with the EOS 6, even the unstacked frames. All these pictures were not stacked, just single frames. They are taken at different locations with a dark sky, as it takes a lot of more effort to take such pictures from the light-polluted skies in Holland. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
