Hi! I tried astrophotography for the first time this weekend, and have a few questions. I've read many times that an F4 lens isn't fast enough for astrophotography, but it was my only option this weekend. I think the outcome was far better than I expected, although my "standard" for results probably isn't that high. Anyway - I tried 30 seconds F4 on approximately 16mm, on a tripod of course. I can see glimpses of the milky way, but not as clearly as the "typical" astro-photo you'd see from an experienced photographer. Question 1: Which camera settings (shutter speed, aperture, iso) is preferable in order to capture the milky way? Question 2: Is it not enough with only one photo or are you supposed to stack multiple photos? Question 3: What is the benefit of stacking photos - will the milky away appear more clearly, or is it to reduce noice? Feel free to advice me (and other beginners) on how to make the milky way appear more clearly. I'm sure the camera settings should have been different . I'll throw in a couple of sample images from this weekend. Both are edited in LR.

This is my composite of the eclipse reaching totality. Each photo is about 10 minutes apart until it reaches totality. I love the detail of the sun's corona. Seeing the picture after witnessing the eclipse is incredible. I feel so fortunate to have captured this magical moment. Gear used: Sony Alpha a6300 Orion ED80T Celestron AVX mount

From the album: Untitled Album
my second image doing night shots with a mirrorless. The feature i found to be really nice with these i think the a6300 has this feature also is to set a custom button to (bright monitoring) and when you are under the night sky and in manual mode and hit the custom button you can basically see in the dark which is fantastic for obtaining focus.© all rights reserved

Good morning, My new work in nightscape photography. 125 picture stacks with startrails program. Each picture has 20s, f/2.8 and ISO 1600. Made with my Sony A6000 and Samyang 8mm Fisheye. There was some visitors with flashlights and without intention they did a curious lightpainting.
