[QUOTE="PapaST, post: 70832, member: 8330"] I used an iPad app called Skywatch to locate the North Star (Polaris) and then I setup my tripod to point directly at it. I set the camera up for shutter priority and set it for 30'. ISO was 100 and I was using the 18-105mm kit lens at 18mm and f6.3. Turned off AF and manually focused on a faint star. I set the interval timer to start at 21:30 (9:30PM). The interval is set at 34 seconds. And the last setting, "intervals x no. of shots =" I set it so that it looked like this 200 x 1 = 200. Basically 200 snaps at 34' intervals. I found it worked perfectly to set the interval at 34' when the shutter priority was set to 30'. It took about 2 hours. [/QUOTE]
