![]() As you can see below, even unmodified, the X-T1 is able to show the Ha areas of the Horsehead Nebula pretty well! He recently traded his Panasonic Lumix G81 for a Fujifilm X-T1, and seems very happy with his new camera. He also started with standard lenses, like the XF 55-200mm, and the results are very good! The proof that you don’t need to have very expensive equipment to produce beautiful deep-sky photographs! The Rosette Nebulaįujifilm X-T20, TS Optics 70ED refractor The Triangulum Galaxyįujifilm X-T20, TS Optics 70ED refractor Simeon Schmauß (Germany)Īt just 18 years old, Simeon makes some very cool pictures of the night sky from the city of Nuremberg, in Germany. Recently, Anthony started imaging deep-sky as well, using the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer mount, before upgrading to the EQ6 Pro. With his Fujifilm X-T20, Anthony captured amazing pictures of the Milky Way! Good idea! Messier 82 (Cigar Galaxy) and Messier 81 (Bode’s Galaxy)Ĥ″ refractor telescope, Fujifilm X-T2 The majestic Eagle NebulaĪnthony lives in a small town in southeastern France, near the Alps, and has access to good dark skies (Bortle 3). He shared an interesting tip: to avoid excessive heat in the sensor, David uses the battery grip of the X-T2, with the flip screen out. David used an X-T1, before upgrading to an X-T2, and also thinks that the Fuji’s response to Ha (red) is very good. I particularly like his photograph of Messier 82 (the Cigar Galaxy) and Messier 81 (Bode’s Galaxy) below. But in the end, even though it sounds a bit cliché, what matters is the journey, rather than the destination. But he keeps improving and his pictures are definitely impressive!ĭeep-sky astrophotography has a steep learning curve, and requires far more trial and error than conventional photography. Takahashi FSQ-85ED and Fujifilm GFX 50S, uncroppedĭavid considers himself an amateur astrophotographer, and told me he does a lot of mistakes during imaging sessions.

The picture below is very impressive, as it consists of a single exposure of two beautiful nebulae, M8 and M20. His photograph of NGC 6188, a beautiful emission nebula, is gorgeous!īut George is also a Fujifilm GFX user, and naturally, he gave his camera a try at deep-sky imaging. George is a very talented photographer, who also likes to photograph the night sky with his QHY CCD camera. The Horsehead Nebulaįujifilm X-M1 & X-A1 IC348 & NGC1333 wide field ![]() The results he gets from the his entry level cameras, the Fujifilm X-M1 and X-A1, are simply amazing! The widefield image of the Horsehead nebula, located in the constellation of Orion, is really impressive, with a lot of details in the dusty regions. Makoto is another Fujifilm user based in Japan. The wonderful pictures below were taken with the X-E2 mounted on a Takahashi TOA-150B refractor telescope.Īs you can see, the X-E2 does a great job in capturing the red Ha regions of the Triangulum galaxy, as well as the outer gas in the Helix planetary nebula. If you own a Fujifilm camera and would like to share your deep-sky photographs on this post, feel free to contact me!įor his astrophotography, Yusuke uses a full spectrum Canon EOS 6D, as well as an unmodified Fujifilm X-E2 camera. And perhaps motivate some Fuji users to give astrophotography a try!Īlso, a big thank you to everyone who accepted to share their photographs and experience on this blog! Therefore, I thought it could be inspiring to share some amazing photographs made with Fujifilm cameras. And heavily dominated by Canon and Nikon cameras. There were of course numerous photographs of the Milky Way, but deep-sky astrophotography is still quite rare. When I started getting into astrophotography, though, I couldn’t find a lot of examples of what these little cameras were capable of. ![]() The smaller size, the great image quality and the pleasant handling convinced me to switch. In 2015, I sold my Nikon gear and started using the amazing Fujifilm X-T1 as my main camera.
