Heavy cloud cover here tonight, so I guess we’re out of luck. However, thanks for posting some tips on night sky photography. So far, I haven’t done much of that, but I’d like to give it a better try. A couple of years ago, I did shoot some photos of the northern lights, and I’ve photographed the moon occasionally, but I’d like to do some experimenting. Winter is probably a good time for it – clear skies and not mosquitoes to carry you off into the woods! (-:

nice technical stuff. must be very useful for those without a cloud cover. we saw at least 4 meteors during the previous perseid showers.

Cool idea, Wayne. I’m always trying to photograph the moon, especially when it’s just a sliver, and the sky is really dark. These setting might really help. I really need to remember to use the tripod!

Bev - clouds don’t work! We were lucky to have clear skies (not extraordinarily so, but generally excellent) but not so lucky in the meteor turnout. In fact, it was almost anti-meteor - it was extraordinary that not even the background rate showed up.
FC - you’re welcome!
Roger - you probably saw more than I did.
Robin - I’ve mentioned a couple of things in the next post, but for something like the moon, where you want definition, you won’t want to use these extreme exposures. I imagine just a second or even less exposure time would be good. The tripod is really essential though, I’d think.
