Increase the ISO as needed for a good exposure.ĭiana says she’ll often let the foreground be lit by moon light on nights when the moon is bright enough because there is enough detail and light to add to the image. Any more time than that and the stars will begin to blur. To photograph the stars in the sky as pinpoints of light, start with as wide an f/stop as your lens allows, and shutter speed of about 20 seconds. This allows for long exposures of the night sky that will pick up the fainter light of the Milky Way for example. A telescope mount moves the camera/telescope as the earth rotates. “Enthusiasts of astrophotography may choose to invest in special equipment for tracking the stars as the earth moves,” explains Deborah.
“If a scene has a lot going on in the foreground, stars represented as pinpoints may complement the scene, rather than overwhelm it.” “The subject will often determine if I pursue star trails or pinpoints of light,” explains Deborah.

We also asked our in-house movie making guru and senior technical manager, Steve Heiner to give us tips for making great time lapse movies of the stars. We spoke with three photographers-Pete Saloutos, Deborah Sandidge and Diana Robinson-to find out their techniques for great photos of the night sky. There are a variety of techniques that can be used to create dynamic photographs of the night sky, including capturing the stars as pinpoints of light, as star trails and by creating time-lapse movies of the stars as they move across the sky during the course of an evening.
