[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 154298, member: 11881"] First, let me tell you Dave_W is THE MAN in my opinion for night shot advice. He has helped me out immensely. The best advice I can give you right now is to go out and start practicing night shots. Even if it is of nothing good. Just do it. It is a whole new world when trying to work in the dark. Few others. Red flashlight. You will want this to see in the dark and navigate your way around the camera without destroying your night vision. ISO 1600-4000 is your friend. I was really hesitant to push up that high until after I did it. Unless, as was mentioned, you're trying for star trails and you want a lower ISO and really long shutter. Your biggest challenge will be getting focus on the 18-55 lens. Use your lowest number aperture for the most light and focus on the farthest thing you can while there is still light and then switch the lens to manual so it won't try to refocus later in the dark.
