How weird is this!....I also shot Pleiades just last night. With my D3000, I used my 18-55mm lens at 38mm, f/5.6 with ISO 100 and a 30 second exposure. Don't like the noise with a high ISO. Don't like the long exposure either, so from now on when I shoot the stars, I'm going with a shorter exposure...less trails.
So here's MY Pleiades.....
Good luck! Hope to see some of those pics here
Oh my gosh! This is awesome! I envy those who live with the northern lights!! Absolutely beautiful!!
Hi BonOIgirl, I thought since you posted your Pleiades, I should post mine too!
I think my focus is off though :-/
What a great thread!
I've spent many nights getting chilled to the bone or eaten alive by mosquitos trying to capture the night sky.
Wow.
Seriously, great photo - I hope to have something that matches it someday! Can I ask what tripod you have? Mine is a cheap piece of crap, and even a small breeze can be enough to smudge an image :-/
