Night Sky

1. What will you need?

    -Camera with manual exposure mode

    -Remote control or shutter release cable to minimize the shaking of the camera.

    -Tripod

2. Choosing the Spot

     -The darker the better. Try to get away from city lights, your images will turn out better. 

3. Settings

    -First you should try to use a lens with a large aperture and at a high ISO. 

    -Use the rule 600, which is divide 600 by the focal length of the lens you are using. 

    -Put your lens in manual mode and use infinity focus.

4.Taking Images

   -Take at least 5 composite images using the correct exposure time. Do not move the camera or change your camera settigns until you are dont with the set. When you are done with a series just take you hand to make the image black so when you look over your images, you'll know when your series end. :)

5. Edit

    -If you dont see colors in your images, dont worry about it. You need to edit and brighten them up on any editing photo device.

   -Stack your images. This is so it will superimpose one image on top of the others of the same series. Use default settings on the software. I use Deep Sky Stacker.

  -Next open your TIF file and change the curves and levels.

View your images and enjoy! :D
