Can I take pictures of nebulae with Sony a6000?

α6000 can photograph the orbits of the Milky Way or stars.

When shooting the Milky Way, if the lens is not large aperture, you need to improve the ISO (1600-3200 can be used safely). In the exposure time of 30 seconds, the tail star is not easy to see.

When shooting a star orbit, the aperture value will affect the number of exposed stars. The larger the aperture, the denser the star orbit (too dense may not look good). The exposure time can be set at about one minute, continuous shooting for several hours (noise reduction is turned off), and then the software is synthesized. Remember to shoot some dark fields, which is useful for noise reduction in the later stage.

Shooting nebulae (deep space photography) requires more equipment, such as astronomical telescopes and equatorial instruments.
