[QUOTE="Kodiak, post: 171964, member: 15426"] Hi snaphappy, Basically, you're tackling a subject that could turn out to be the craziest nightmare you will ever have! Low lights, ever moving and changing subjects, let alone the transparencies that lets you see the stars… The strategies are many but the one that had worked best for me was: [I]The faster you shoot, the less the stars will be visible. The slower you shoot the blurrier the Aurora Aperture never less or more than the sweet point: ƒ8 to ƒ11. Keep iso as low as possible knowing that the aperture is almost fixed and shutter speed MUST be prioritized. AF off. Focus on infinity minus a tad. Work tethered! Manual mode With my cameras I don't use NR[/I] Have a good time! [/QUOTE]
