5 October, 2014 – Pentax 645z Astrophotography Using the iOptron SkyTracker

05 Oct

The night sky holds wonders for photographers. If you live near or have access to a site where there are dark skies; dark enough to see the Milky Way, it’s possible to explore our galaxy with your camera.

It’s hard to resist the opportunity to play with a new medium format DSLR, so we quickly took up Ricoh’s offer to try out its 645Z. While it may look intimidating, the 645Z is surprisingly accessible, with an experience that feels strangely familiar to those who have handled Pentax cameras like the K-3.
