[QUOTE="Clayton, post: 42176, member: 8616"] Well Nick, I am actually interested in this as well, so maybe we can figure it out together:) From the information you have listed I can tell you that you would want the aperture as low as possible to let the most amount of light in. Also, try and crank up your ISO quite a bit more. Astro-photography can be rough depending on where you live, I never have that clear of a night sky where I am. I also hear that taking pictures of the night sky should be done no sooner that 3 hours after sundown to 3 hours before sunrise to make sure there is as little residual light as possible left over from the sun. Also, don't count on the live-view from the LCD, try and look directly through the viewfinder and if you can remotely activate the shutter release. Other than that I look forward to hearing what some of the more experienced photographers on here have to say. [/QUOTE]
