First test/practice tonight. This (exciting) photo has an exposure time of about 20 minutes at f/10. Canon EOS 300D with EF 50/1.8 II lens. I would have chosen a smaller aperture, like 22, but in my excitement I forgot to set it. Oh well, atleast it wasn't 1.8. The lens got all moist before I could say "time for picture nr2". I hope things get better when it gets colder and hopefully darker. They say cold temperatures reduce noise. Also, next time I'll bring a lens that actually has a focusing scale on it. That was probably the biggest oversight tonight. |

looks awesome what's nr2? |

nr2 = number two... nr is short for number which is swedish for number. |

Nr2 has some trees in it, has an exposure time of 34 mins and 1(!) star trail hidden in the noise. I was aiming at Polaris and was waaay off. It's nothing really, even more boring than that first effort. It's 3:20 AM here, I'll see if I have the will power to resize it after sleep. |

At my work, where I am a relay operator for the deaf, hard-of-hearing, and speech disabled, the abbreviation for number is nbr. And whenever I type out a question, I type qq. For example: Are my legs on fire qq Oh, and I also have to do "tone of voice". For example: Are my legs on fire qq (sounds upset) And let's not forget "ga" or the "go ahead" which signals the other person to begin their response: Are my legs on fire qq (sounds upset) ga Blasted relay service lingo!!! |

ah yes! I made a mistake in my last post (in this thread)... the swedish word for number is also nummer... so it's the same word as in dutch I guess. |

A lot of people use it to make prank calls. We have to read what you type. We have to. |

that's cool stuff man. I love both photography and astronomy, so if we werent like 2000 miles away from one-another, I would come over with a telescope, some popcorn and comicbooks and you could bring the camera, and we could have a sleepover. |

I tried to think of things to do while your exposure has its course. 1. Spot any aircraft among the stars. 2. Spot any aircraft flying into your picture. They can potentially ruin a nice trail photo, since their trail will not match the others. 3. Bring something to lie down on and gaze at the sky. This might actually motivate to make longer exposures. According to the manual the 300D can last 2.5H with one battery.. 4. Survive the city. That's about it. I was in a park about 10-15 mins from my house. First I see this psycho practicing with his throwing knives against a tree. Detour. Then there were people still partying after a hot day. They'd probably been there all day. Zephyr, you're welcome. You come to my place :) |

Pic number 2. EOS 300D with EF-S 18-55 @ 18mm, f/22. Exposure time is 34mins. I reduced the reds in PS a tad. One frikkin trail! I took this with the kit lens because it was the only other lens I had with me. The 50mm fogged up pretty quick during the first shot. |

sleepovers are the best! and Paco, keep your schedule reasonably open should the price of air-fare to sweden drop dramatically. ;) |
