Dann fliegst du am besten mal nach Namibia ich war zwar selbst noch nicht dort, aber zu bestimmten Bedingungen soll dort die Milchstraße so hell sein, dass man in ihrem Licht Schatten wirft.

How come stars didn't leave any trails for 120 min (10 min each) expo? I'm really into night sky photography lately and my no.1 target is to capture bright and sharp Milky way, so I'm looking for any good suggestions and tips..

kopfgeist79 In reply to orPhots [2010-03-27 06:42:33 +0000 UTC]

The sharp horizon was stitched in later with processing. You can't expose both stars and horizon with exposure times longer than a app. minute. I exposed the stars with the camera guided for nearly two hours and then i used one single unguided frame for the horizon with the city lights. For capturing it without processing you have to keep the exposure time at a minimum and increase the ISO sensitivity, e.g. 20 seconds at a focal length of 24 mm: ~1600 ISO, but you need lenses with a very big aperture about f/1.4 or so...

Greetings.

Das ist aber super schoen photo mein freund ! Kann Ich dich einige Fragen zu fragen ? Zuerst moechte Ich ueber deine Teleskop wissen. Warum ist es keine Sternwege im Himmel ? Was hast Du gemacht denn ? Ist es schwirig ? Welche Programme hast Du dazu verwenden ? Danke
Ich bitte um Entschuldigung fuer mein Deutsch (((

Hallo,
and sorry for the late answer. I write in German, ok? Otherwise let me know and I will write in English.

Ich habe deine Nachricht gut verstanden und das ist die Hauptsache
Ich bin an einer kleinen Sternwarte tΓ€tig und habe Zugriff auf das Teleskop. Dieses ist motorisch nachgefΓΌhrt und verhindert so die Strichbildung von Sternen. Die Kamera war mit dem Objektiv am Teleskop befestigt. Im Prinzip kann man solch ein Foto aber auch in wenigen Sekunden ohne solche Technik machen. 20 Sekunden mit hohen ISO-Werten zeigen schon viel Sterne auf dem Bild.

Wenn du weitere Fragen hast, frage einfach. Ich kann auch auf Englisch schreiben

Thanks a lot. It was hard work: 2 hours of exposure time and at least 3 hours sticking the images together in PS

Omg I'm falling in love with this picture so bad.

The millions of stars are awesome, and the milky way looks like some kind of bright illuminated heart, with veins running down the side...

The colours are beautiful..

And I never expected to see anything like this outside those astronomy books. <3
