An extremely simple and surprisingly almost successful attempt with very basic equipment:
The North America Nebula in Cygnus. A stack of about 100 images (and some dark frames) with the Panasonic GM5 and the decent, simple Lumix 42.5mm 1.7. Deneb in Cygnus as the main star (the medium-bright one after Vega/Lyra and before Altair/Aquila of the Summer Triangle). Laid the camera down, estimated the alignment by hand, and captured images via time-lapse—without checking—but got lucky this time.An extremely simple and surprisingly almost successful attempt with very basic equipment:

Der Nordamerika-Nebel im Schwan. EIn Stack aus ca. 100 Bildern (und einigen Dunkelbildern) mit der Panasonic GM5 und dem ordentlichen einfachen Lumix 42.5mm 1.7. Deneb im Schwan als Hauptstern (der mittelhelle nach der Wega/Leier und vor dem Ataier/Adler des Sommerdreiecks). Kamera hin gelegt, per Hand die Ausrichtung geschätzt und per Zeitraffer Bolder eingefahren - ohne Kontrolle - aber mal Glück gehabt.
