Was browsing fstoppers today and came across the new 60Da canon released for astrophotography. I was quite interested and browsed the web for some old images from the 20Da just to get an idea of what it was wild really to see what these images can take.

An example of an astrophotography setup haha:

some of it moves your camera against the earths rotation so that your long exposures aren't blurred.

from what I could tell:

He isn't on NS much anymore due to having to work often and is congratulating jwenz on his orange name, which he didn't know about due to his absense....not too sure though
