What sort of equipment takes pictures this fabulously???


simple recipe:

recent mid to high end full frame DSLR or high end compact mirrorless camera (e.g. Sony A7), good glass (i.e. can cost more than camera), a TRIPOD in this case. Then you need to have recent post processing tools and know how to get the most out of the RAW files a camera like this can record.

in this case (taken from info on Flickr)

Nikon D800e with 24-70mm f/2.8 Nikon lens. The star image was a 4 second exposure, so there's the tripod requirement.
