15.01.2022 Check out Richard Tatti's latest video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC6_YhEe6YY. Richard runs nightscape workshops at a farm in Victoria (which I have attended and recommend) and has a very popular YouTube channel on Nightscape images and light painting. This particular video highlights excellent wide-field astrophotography examples. Richard has selected some impressive images from hundreds submitted by people in many countries. It just goes to show what astrophotography you can do with consumer cameras and lens.
