  1. Thank you, I found this helpful. I previously shot star gazes on my t3i and found I was having to use an iso of 6400, I have since made the upgrade to an 80D and I'm excited to take advantage of the sensor. Camera seems to do a great job getting a clear sky and proper blacks. Thinking I wanna try a 15 minute exposure, I need a timer remote.

  2. Well done video, sir! Absolutely loved it, and did my first Astrophotography tonight! It wasn't perfect, but it definitely was exciting and not all that bad for a first time! Even caught a shooting star in one frame!! Thank you very much for your tips!

  3. I have a Canon Powershot SX510 HS and i'm trying to take pictures of the stars. I can take good pictures of the moon but i cant quite figure out stars. Is it even possible on my camera?
