Night Photography

I can't believe that this thread has died! Here's my first shot with my new camera.

The Orion Nebula is nicely captured in that photo centre left. The bright star to the right and down a bit from the nebula is Rigel which is burning hot and hence appears very blue. The super bright star to the far left is Sirius which is the brightest star in the night sky and part of the Canus Major constellation, hence why it's often called the Dog Star.

Am I sounding like an anorak now?

Am I sounding like an anorak now?

Yes, but that's cool. I love astronomy.

Excellent shot Xan
I love photography like this. This winter weather has been abysmal whenever I've been able to get out
What's your new camera, and what were the settings for that?

Cheers dude!

My new camera is the Sony A7R Mk.I, full frame, mirrorless, 36mp. The settings for this particular shot were 28mm, f/2.8, 20 second exposure at 3200ISO.

Looking at the full size image, I wish I had of kept with 15 seconds as the stars aren't pinpoint. Google rule of 500 if you're not familiar.

I have an 11-16mm wide angle (on a crop sensor DSLR) I can usually get away with 20-25s.

mmm, very nice camera. Bet you're pleased with that
Aspiring to go Full frame, but won't be for a while yet!

What camera are you using?

What camera are you using?

Its a bit humbler than yours! Canon 100D, 18MP Digic5 (its like a lighter weight version of the 700D) Had it a few years now, but still pleased with it
