Neat pictures I've taken

[BigV]

Thanks guys.

I don't have an easy EXIF exporter, so here's the manual transcription:

exposure 15s
aperture 2.97
f number f/2.8
iso 1600

There was plenty of exposure, I could have stepped down the iso or the exposure, but the conditions for examining the photo were quite poor, as you can imagine. I made a copy and this is the edited copy, I added a lot of black as the original has an unpretty amount of noise.

I also took a shot straight up and got a lovely view of the Milky Way, though there's lots of noise in that one too.

plt--Night shots are h-a-r-d. Keep at it, they're very rewarding and your camera has much more technological horsepower than mine does. When you learn how to drive it, you're gonna love it.

Very nice, BigV! For your Milky Way shots, try lowering the ISO to 800. It should reduce the noise. Your settings are about what I use for my astro photography. The photo you posted is VERY clear for an ISO of 1600. I'm good at 800, but they get noisy above that.
