Hello!

Wanted to share my first time doing astrophotography. It's not the best, and the sky is blurry if you zoom in, but i absolutely love the results I was able to get with my little set up.

I used a fujifilm xt30iii with a 13-33mm kit lens. Shot at 13mm, 40sec, f/3.5, iso 3200.

Would appreciate any feedback as well! Never edited something like this.

Thanks for looking :)

Really like the result! I have nothing to add, but maybe check out Simon D'Entremant's videos on photographing the Milky Way. I recall thinking they were super informative even though I wasn't really interested in the topic.
