[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 154899, member: 13556"] There is no need to set your ISO as high as possible. I'd start by setting the ISO at its lowest setting w/o getting into a Lo setting. This should give you the least amount of ISO noise in your photo. You can experiment by increasing your ISO, though. However, increased time of exposure will increase noise levels in your photo. Do turn Auto ISO off. Your lens should have an optimum aperture setting, which is usually a stop or two down from the maximum aperture. This aperture will give you the optimum optics for your lens, therefore the optimum image on your sensor. So stop your lens down a bit, but don't fear changing it either. For White Balance, I prefer setting it to a cooler color temperature. These settings should give you a bluer or whiter star field, as apposed to a warmer color temperature setting giving a red/orange cast. Experiment, by getting close and then change settings one at a time. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
