Re: [APML] The Sun, Moon, and stars



Hi John,
    I'm sure others in the group can give you better advice, but here's mine...
 
1.  On the widefield star shots, get rid of the flash.  You should be able to expose for 20-30 seconds
    on a tripod without any trailing, longer of course if you are doing piggyback.
 
2.  The moon shot is overexposed.  Try bracketing your exposures.  With a digital you should be able
    to get the right exposure nailed down pretty quick.
 
You didn't say how long you were exposing for but keep a log so you can duplicate/improve your exposures on various objects and in different conditions, as well as different moon phases.  Hope this helps a little.  Just keep at it!!
 
Gary
