And it attaches with a thumb screw? Cheeeze...

I like it!

And a decent tripod. Doesn't have to be expensive.

I agree with the 18-400

4 words people... 4, not 5 not 6.

Painting pictures with light

Thank you.

Thank you.

Lola and I were a bit indifferent at first but after a while we became the best of friends. Then, at age of 14, Lola suddenly became very ill. Three vets and two pet hospitals all agreed, and I had to make the hardest decision a pet owner could ever make, to have her put to sleep. Posting this is just a little memorial of her, from me.

Wow, great detail and no graininess at all! Wonderful shot. I've never stacked more than about 20 pictures myself, stacking 100 must have taken a while to process. Good job!

From a post above, If you enjoy taking pictures of the moon and other dark sky items, try this. Use a good firm tripod. Take 10 or more pictures without moving the camera. Then add them together, "stack" them. This greatly increases the sharpness, contrast, and makes the equivalent ISO lower. Stack two pictures taken at ISO 100 and the output image looks like ISO 50. Stack 10 pictures taken at ISO 100 and the output looks like ISO 5!!!. I use a free program called Registax. I have version 6. It is designed for astronomical pictures but also works with any other type of photography, even portraits. Others use different software, I happened to have found Registax, it is a Windows program, it is free, and it does an excellent job. Google for it. ☺

I'm amazed that people can obtain so many similar stones.
