What are the pros and cons of the Nikon Z6?

Planning to upgrade from the D3100. I mainly shoot wildlife and astrophotography.

Bode's galaxy, the Cigar galaxy, NGC 3077 & NGC 2976.

This is an image I recently took (untracked) of Bode's galaxy, the Cigar galaxy, NGC 3077 & NGC 2976.

This is the first time i've managed to take such a nice picture of this amazing duo!

Is it possible to photograph the eagle nebula untracked?

This summer, i'm planning to try and photograph it, but I do not have a star tracker. I'm wondering if I should use an APSC camera or full frame.

My cameras:

Nikon Z6 full frame
Nikon D3100 APSC

And also tell me what focal length would be the best.

Father told me that 50 euro lens was too expensive.

So, my father recently called me to tell me he'd be nice and get me anything I wanted for my birthday, under 60 euros. When I sent him a listing for a nice 24mm lens in pristine condition that was priced at 50 euros, he told me he thought it was way too expensive and shouldn't cost more than 10 euros. Tell me you don't know anything about photography without telling me you don't know anything about photography.

I'm bored. If anybody wants to send me their TIFF files for me to edit them, be free.

I don't have anything to do. I also want to see what people are making. And also maybe help out anybody who made their first images and would like me to edit them.

The Great Orion Nebula - M42

This is my retry at editing Messier 42, this time using Siril instead of gimp! And let's just say I was VERY surprised by how good this looks! You can even see the overall circle-ish shape of it, which you couldn't see the top of before!

Edited in SIRIL and my phone afterwards (for contrast and saturation)

So happy with how this turned out, especially untracked! Spent a total of 11 and a half hours on this, so i'm very happy it looks good!

This was taken in early spring, so it was only visible at ~9PM, and my street lamps were still lit up. This winter I'll try again, but this time trying to include the Flame Nebula and the Horse Head Nebula, and do ~4500 to ~5500 exposures instead of 3500.

I see you, Joan Corn, and your stolen tacos from Rate My Plate too. Don't be fooled, scroll until you see the emptiest, driest piece of food ever.

Man I love facebook

Only place you can argue about stuff like that
