    Nice composite! Did you need to crop much? One of the things that’s always put me off trying astro is seeing massive stacks from IR filter free cameras mounted to a sky tracker and potentially a very long lens (eg telescope). This shot seems pretty accessible. Granted, I don’t have the MP to crop too heavily.

      I actually didn’t crop at all for this one. Just used a 600mm lens. Since the moon is so much brighter compared to stars the exposure is much shorter and a star tracker isn’t really needed.
