[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 169445, member: 9521"] This doesn't seem right. At 5 minutes your stars should look like lines rather than spots. But outside this strangeness, you're way over exposing your shots. Keep it closer to 25 secs otherwise your stars will start looking like tadpoles. Here's a general recipe that you can use and adjust as needed ISO = 2000 t= 25 sec f stop = 1/2 to 1 stop smaller than wide open (gives you a slightly sharper image) [/QUOTE]
