Hi everyone,
I was trying to photograph the constillation "the plough" last night, but had real problems getting my camera (D7200) to take anything, as i presume it had nothing to focus on.
I wasnt looking to achieve any amazing astrophotography shots, but found it difficult to get anything at all.
Eventually i switched lens to the kit lens, 18-55mm and managed a few shots. It wouldnt let me use my remote shutter button though, so i got some minor blur as i had to manually use the shutter release on the camera, to get it to take at all
Is there any way of "over riding" the system so it simply takes the picture regardless? I was hoping that with a long exposure it would have picked out the stars, but it simply wouldnt take at all
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
