Hello! Photographing stars... any tips?

21 October 2013 - 08:27 AM

Hello everyone!

 

I've owned my (beloved) D40 from new, and have very much enjoyed using it. Recently, I've gotten into portraits with my new Prime lens & SB700 flash.

 

However, my first love (that I've never properly cracked) is photographing stars. I love the idea of shooting celestial events- so much so that I shot the 1999 solar eclipse on the Channel island of Guernsey with my old Minolta SLR.

 

I haven't managed to successfully capture any shots that I'm proud of with my D40 though :-/

I'm hoping I can meet some like-minded people here to give me some pointers though.

 

Good to meet you all.

Matt
