The images shown in this gallery were created without a tracking device with a camera on a fixed tripod. The results were obtained by stacking up to 750 individual images. Images were taken with a Canon EOS 50D, Canon EOS 80D or a Panasonic Lumix FZ-200. Post-processing was done with Deep-Sky-Stacker, Pixinsight, Gimp or Photoshop.
