My best galaxy shot came from a $90 camera and a parking lot 30 minutes outside Tucson
Everyone in this hobby keeps saying you need a $1,500 rig and dark sky trips, but my sharpest Andromeda photo came from a used Canon body, a cheap 50mm lens, and a gravel lot off Highway 86 last October. The air was so dry that night that I could see the dust lanes in a single 45 second shot, no stacking needed. A guy at the star party walked over, looked at my screen, and said I must have a cooled sensor, and he did not believe me when I said nope. I still stack frames for nebula shots, but I stopped blaming my gear for bad photos after that night. What is the cheapest setup that ever gave you a shot you still brag about?
