So some star pictures from me. More experimental than anything. I wanted to see how the camera could cope with Noise and shunted the ISO up to 3200 to try and bring out the Milky way. I had some weird green lines which I assume is the camera. I'm not too concerned as I will be upgrading soon.

I also took a star trail whilst I was at it.

Nice Scott. How long was the exposure on the milky way ones? Quite a bit of movement in the stars I see.
I was reading a thread which tells you the best shutter speed for capturing static stars (I assume it all depends on how your camera copes with the high ISO though.. I think its 600 divided by the focal length but I'll try to find the page.
Love the trail one. You have a great area for dark skies looking north. Hopefully I'll manage one on Tuesday if the forecast is correct.

Yea as they were experimental and taken after an evening of star trails I was too cold to hang around and try over and over with the milky way shot. It was 1 image of 2 minutes exposure, ISO 3200 at f4.5.

Yea so so chuffed!
Brilliant shots Scott! I'd be well happy with those. I struggle so much with light pollution around here
If it's reaaaaally a problem, keep the shots below 20s instead or lower your ISO.
Get a remote timer thing
Single long exposures are very hard to get right.
Just been checking back thru my photos from London just before NYE ..
Thought they were all awful but found a cracker with a little tweaking

Near enough straight off the camera... Thanks (I guess) anyway !
I do find that sometimes, especially with blues they can block up completely. Minus 5-10 in lightroom on the blue saturation front should sort it out
^^ Dont like that at all sorry. Way too much saturation imo.
Gonna go shoot it on large format so I can sort the verticals out as its horrendous atm.
Could be nice on a long exposure too with some cloud movement. Some reflections in that foreground pool would make it a winner.

I liked the camera photo that piers did, so tried it myself
Just haven got the good background.

Have one mate.
I mean for shooting stars like Scott did, you're going to ideally need the exact reverse of your suggestions, lol.
No no .. do 90/180/2000 shots @ 15s, care of the timer you spoon :rasp:
Something like this.. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007H50D0S/?tag=cliospnet01-21
Programmable timer I meant .. perhaps wasn't clear enough.
One i took at Autosport, first time ive used my new camera since i got it.

Ok test two of the Milky Way. This time it was far too cold and with patchy cloud I decided to use the BMW
Could be on a different planet for all we know haha.

I've just purchased this
, is it good enough??
^^^ been inspired by the photos you lot are posting, and want to experiment with long exposures, but I'm new to it all, and trying to pick things up.

Ah yes, that'd be fine for star trails, but I'd be royally f**ked over by light pollution if I tried anything like Scott has done with the BMW.
Awesome shot Scott btw! The night sky is stunning! Was that a single exposure?
BMW one is great Scott, wasn't keen on the choice of foreground in the first set, a 'portacabin' style building wasn't doing it for me. Also if you divide 600 by your (full frame equivalent) focal length you will get the maximum exposure time so the stars don't trail. Not an issue on the BMW but noticeable in the first milky way shots.
Great colours!
