Tracker vs. No Tracker for ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY (Shooting the Pleiades)
In this video, I compare photographing the Pleiades (M45) with a DSLR and telephoto lens on a fixed tripod versus on a star tracker. Processing with DeepSkyStacker and Photoshop. Example files for this video and other resources on my website here: https://www.nebulaphotos.com/resources/m45
