Thank you so much
Yes I’m shooting RAW and in post I noticed that toying around with WB had a big impact.
The issue I was struggling with most is the following:
* literature I studied all indicate that you’ve got to try and get in as much light as possible this they advocate long exposure and shoot wide open.
* I used a f/2.8 Z lens
* I used the 500 rule thus Max exposure to prevent star trailing is 500:24= Max exposure approx 20 sec
* ISO: start at 3,000 and experiment
But when I used those settings all I got was plain sand color type flat photo. Only when I bumped iso back to 400 and exposure to 10-13 sec could I see some stars.
Somehow that doesn’t make sense
Night photography
After several attempts and having read many articles on settings fir astro-photography finally a photo that’s “presentable” It’s far away from those Milky Way photos but if you realize that I shot this one from my back garden and only handful stars visibl...
Agreed
I studied tons of material Abd it’s not just location and settings but also heavy on post
That’s a great compliment thank you
Never made that link myself but now you mentioned it it will stay in head forever
I was never very good with constellations...
Good start... a tricky capture There are a number of online applications, I remember using a cardboard wheel years ago... Tokyo night sky 2021-March-19 1:00AM Casey . ...
I recall that you need an azimuthal mount of some sort that rotates with the sky so the starts are in a fixed position.
Then you do a very long exposure. I’m sure there are a ton of web articles out there. Your sensor seems pretty good judging from the colors. What iso is this?
Thanks
This one was aperture f/2.8, 70 mm, shutter 13 seconds and ISO 400 I quickly learned that the 2 most important determining factors are ISO and WB (which I hadn’t expected) In post editing working with WB had huge impact The sensor is full frame 26 MP whic...
Nice shot !
Hello Jurry, May i make some comments. ISO and aperture are important factors. If you shoot RAW (must be for astrophotography), it doesn't matter your WB as you can easily change it in post as you mentioned. But you can't change your ISO and aperture once...

I think one issue is that you shoot at 70mm
Therefore, less light to be captured. Except the 24-70 f4, do you have another wide angle lens with smaller aperture such as 2.8. If not, you could try this next time: - Use your 24-70 at 24mm and f4 - Shutter speed=20 seconds - ISO 1600 or ISO 2000 Below...
Tried several lenses
Got a whole series and experimented with 70-200 mm f/2.8 24-70 mm f4 24-70 mm f/2.8 Next week I’m borrowing a 20 mm f/1.8 lens. That should do the trick
