New Camera

I played around with a Svbony 205 using Sharpcap. I was not impressed for a few reasons. Obvious tracking was an issue. The camera is like putting a 5mm lense on, so the stars, planets and moon moved very quickly making it almost impossible to get great pictures. I bought a used Cannon on Ebay with lenses for $160. My only complaint is having to look through the view finder. Tonight I tried my son’s Cannon mirrorless DSLR; WOW!!!! What a difference!!!!

Picture of the moon from 5/22/2023. I played with ISO settings and shudder time.
