That so-called 'beginner' shot of Orion I took with a 15 year old DSLR actually came out better than my new $800 dedicated astro camera
Everyone told me to ditch my Canon 450D for a cooled mono camera to get real results. But last Tuesday night I mounted the old DSLR on my Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer and pulled 3 minute subs of the Orion Nebula with zero guiding. Stacked 20 frames in DeepSkyStacker and the detail on the Trapezium blew away anything I got from my ZWO ASI183MC after 6 months of tweaking. So am I missing something, or are we overhyping gear over technique?

Yeah, gear's nothin' without the hands to use it.

My $800 camera can finally take photos almost as good as my 15 year old DSLR. Progress?
