Nothing special, just a clear night, so I tried to capture the heavens above. Unbelievable what amount of stars you can catch with a simple dslr + 18 mm lense.

I tried different settings, but I had these results at iso 800 and manual focussing.

I've found a site that describes this type of photography in detail, so I'd better read that text to improve the results.

Cheers,

Omag

you might be able to have a decent go at startrails out in the country....I tried it here in an inner suburb and the light pollution was terrible....

Cool shots

To bad I couldn't get my 300 mm focused on the stars. That's the tricky part, as it has to be done manually and the viewfinder isn't exactly enourmous...
