[QUOTE="eurotrash, post: 95687, member: 9237"] So as many of you may know by some of my pictures, I'm an avid backpacker. I hate bringing my gear with me on account of the extreme added weight, but when you can't shoot these things living near D.C, when you get the opportunity you take it:) On Friday morning, I'm leaving for a 4 day in the backcountry of West Virgina and want some advice on astrophotography, namely using the interval timer. I'm shooting for this effect, (at around 35 seconds in.) I'm not looking for TRAILS, i'm looking for singular stars that move around the frame: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLd1gpVa5TY]Startrail Timelapse Compilation - Nevada Nights - YouTube[/url] As if it weren't confusing enough to do this, Nikon an others seem to substitute words like "picture" with words like, "interval" and the like. Now, I know posting a question like, "What settings should I use?" is a bit silly, but that's honestly what I'm asking. I really need the most help on what interval to shoot for, how long to shoot for etc. I know I'll likely end up using the wide end of the lens and that I'm going for a smooth video in the end, preferably longer than a minute and a half, with upward of 1,000 and preferably more photos to increase the length a bit. (You may also know that the last one I did was comprised of 200 shots and lasted ten seconds, LOL) I'll be using my f3.5 16-85 and a tripod obviously but I also have faster glass available. I just find that the wider the better in this scenario. Thanks everyone! [/QUOTE]
