I've got a couple questions similar to this thread.
First, what would be a good entry level camera for night/star photography? I've always been pretty interested in trying my hand at really long exposures but no idea what I would need outside of a really good tripod.
Second, I've got my grandfathers Rolleiflex 3.5 and I've got a trip to Iceland coming up at the end of this year. I've run a dozen or so rolls of film through his camera and have the *basics* down, but I don't know how to expose for the sky (specifically northern lights). Normally I take my light meter, put it on the subject, point it at where I'm taking the picture from, and copy pasta the F-stop/exposure time in the camera and I'm good to go, but how do I know what to set the camera to if I can reach the subject, or how to I expose for taking a picture specifically of light rather than an object that light is bouncing off of.
Pic somewhat related. I got this one by getting my exposure close and taking about 6 more pics hitting different exposure in either direction.
