[QUOTE="Boomer, post: 34038, member: 7973"] Thanks for everyone's feedback. It was really helpful. I tried star shots last night and they turned out pretty good for a first try. I think the manual infinite focus wasn't perfect, but I'll work on that. If you zoom in on the photos the stars were small lines, which I attribute to my light tripod, rickety deck, and my inability to stand still for 30 seconds. Again, all fixable. I do have a question. I have the D3100 set to capture NEF+JPEG pictures. The save times for the images were very long, maybe 30+ seconds. Normally the save time is less than a second. I didn't think about it until later, when I wondered if it was due to the JPEG compression processing for the mostly shades of black image. The jpegs are about the same size as others I've taken during normal daylight photos. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
