First attempt at night shooting with a 1995 6 Mega Pixel Digital Camera
F5.6 ISO 1000 30 second exposure of Venus( Just above and to the left of the moon in the south eastern sky in Edmonton Alberta Canada around 130am.
Shot on the Lake Eden Road.
Saw lots of small flashes of light but they were too random and too fast for the camera. As near as I can tell from the Manual the shutter speed is
from 1/25th of a second to 30 seconds max. What I wanted was a ten minute or longer exposure to capture some star tracks or a straight up shot with a
30 minute or better exposure to create a circular star track. As it is I got lots of the spherical aberrations from the long lens 170mm I was using
in manual mode because the auto focus would not stop hunting at maximum focus.
Interesting to find out my own and the equipments limits. I have posted two images on photo bucket. Try your own
luck
