Hey all, so I ended up getting a Chamonix 45N-1 to add some 'excitement' to my photography. Honestly I picked up a month ago and have not yet used it. I was going to use it for my maternity photography. However I think I may use this for astrophotography. My father use to take photos of the stars. As kids we would lay in the field next to him as he took photos of the dark sky's. He had a number of cameras he used, one I remember was a Brownie! For the life of me I can't remember if he had anything like my Chamonix 45N-1. So I started reading on astrophotography tonight: https://www.photographytalk.com/begi...-for-beginners Now in this article, they are talking about modern DSLRs and other gadgets that are electronic based. So my Thursday night question is if astrophotography can be done with my Chamonix 45N-1? I know I'm not going to mount it on a star tracker, but seriously, how did they take photos back in the day?

You all are so helpful, thank you again for all your help!
