A Beginners Guide to Astrophotography
|
|
|
In this blog, we’re sharing our top tips to help get you started on your Astrophotography journey.
|
|
|
Tip 1: Invest in a tripod
|
This is essential when shooting longer exposures, as it helps keep your kit as steady and still as possible. The heavier, the better, but if you’re careful, you can also use a light tripod.
|
|
|
Tip 2: Use the 500 rule
|
For pinpoint stars, divide 500 (or 300, if shooting with a crop-frame sensor) by your focal length to get your maximum exposure time. So if you’re using a 16mm lens, 500/16 = 31.25 seconds of exposure. Any more than that, and you’ll start to see star trails.

Tip 3: Choose the right lens
|
A faster lens that can be opened to a wide aperture improves pictures of the dark sky because it takes in more light. The more light you can gather, the better. Working with a fast lens will also allow you to shoot at faster shutter speeds, which is good for getting sharp pictures.
