Does anyone here take night time pictures of the sky when /out/? I'm trying to find a better camera, right now I'm using my galaxy s8. Took this a few hours ago and would like to see better results(Orion constellation above the horizon)

Also post pics of stars and shit you took while /out/

low light pictures are dependant on these factors, mostly:
-sensor size
-mount stability
-light pollution
-exposure time

This. dslr, tripod, big apertures, timed shutter release.

You will still need a lot of postprocessing to get impressive results. It also gets very old very fast, usually by the time the night sky is full of stars you are already half drunk and fiddling with dslr becomes a chore.
Low light photography is the most difficult kind of photography and you will fail if photography is not your regular hobby.
For serious astrophoto you need equipment for the price of medium priced new car, for example: https://arturas.space/images/nebula
Some of these pictures are literally composites of exposures taken over a period of a year.

Yeah OP you need a proper camera (DSLR or not) but you need to be able to control the aperture and shutter speed (ideally be able to take photos without touching the camera - either with a timer or remote)

>photo is dozens of long exposures composited together

You forgot to mention aperture. Also, sensor size is not that important.

Yeah, tried something a while back with a old filmfilm slr.
Gerät tip, besides what the other guys mentioned, is taking off your camera strap while taking long time exposures when the Wind blows . I didnt, and I guess that fucked my pics somewhat up.

Do you work there or did the spook guards just not feel like doing the paperwork for shooting you?

Oh. In USA coal plants only have long smoke stacks, no fat cooling towers. Those are only at nuke plants, which also have homicidal guards.

Be careful that the camera you get is not too prone to image noise

taken a few, but the hard part is you're limited in composition defpending on envirnoment you're shooting in since the milky way doesn't change

>>1371789
this, get a tripod and a camera with at least a 1" sensor
then set aperture wide open, ISO 1600+, shutter speed to as long as you need, set focus to infinity and have fun

Fuji X-T10 (or T20 now). Mostly I use the cheap kit lenses when i'm hiking since they are so light but if i'm feeling good i'll bring a prime or two with for more composed shots. Pretty light setup and easy to carry on a strap or just fit in on the top of your bag.

I've had better DSLRs but wouldn't bring them with due to the weight/expense so the fuji was my solution, any mirrorless will fit the same requirements though just find the one you like. If you need smaller than that the sony rx100 works pretty well but i like the option of switches lens for whatever trip.
