Camera Lenses for Astrophotography
In this video, I photograph Comet NEOWISE and a dense region of stars in the constellation Cygnus. Throughout the video, I mention using a Canon EF 300mm F/4L, but it was actually the 400mm F/5.6!
I've got both lenses and grabbed the 400mm by mistake! However, it makes no difference to the techniques used here - just a little harder with more magnification and slower at F/5.6 (vs. F/4 on the 300).
(BONUS POINTS IF YOU NOTICED THIS - the 400 is longer)
I also use the Rokinon 135mm F/2 to photograph a much wider field, including the Sadr region. This was captured through a sucker hole in the clouds - just making the most of the situation!
The camera used was a Canon EOS Ra, with the Canon EF/EOS R lens mount adapter. No filters were used.
Thank you for watching, and clear skies!
