[QUOTE="Kias, post: 197680, member: 9496"] There's a little light from the church about 3/4 mile away from me. I let it autofocus on that, then flip it to manual and don't touch the focus ring. That's the only thing different that I do that hasn't already been said here. I think the biggest thing to shooting the sky at night is to just get out there and do it. You'll start to get "in tune" with the sky and sort of know what settings you need, or at least know what you should try. If you keep shooting, you will learn. It's inevitable. Here's one of the first ones I did. [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]52331._xfImport[/ATTACH] Here's one a little bit later. [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]52332._xfImport[/ATTACH] Continuing my Journey [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]52333._xfImport[/ATTACH] I did this not too long ago [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]52334._xfImport[/ATTACH] This was my last attempt [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]52335._xfImport[/ATTACH] I think I've gotten better over time. I hope anyway... So, the number one recommendation I can come up with, is to just get out there and do it! You now have all the basics on the settings you need, get out there and try them! Do variations on the settings, change things up, see what the changes do, it really will help! I went from taking a hundred exposures to get the first photo I posted, to taking only four for the last one I posted. Go forth and shoot! I'm actually headed out there tonight if the sky holds up for me! [/QUOTE]
