How do you know where to point the lens? Do you use software like14-24 @14mm, f/2.8, 16 sec per frame, tripod mounted. As to other galaxies...don't know. I am a photographer, not an astronomer![]()
Hi, Chris,Nodal Rail is a nodal slide, designed to adjust your camera's position front to back, thereby enabling positioning of the nodal point on your lens over the center of rotation. This allows you to create accurate stitched panoramic images. I don't get overly technical. I just slide the camera on the rail until the focal point of the lens is centered on the rail according to the lens' focal point - which is usually right about where the lens meets the body.
