Constellation Captured in Okanogan
Big Dipper Over David's House in Okanogan WA
- Aperture: ƒ/2.8
- Shutter Speed: 79.0s
- Image Date: 8/9/10 2:00:00
- no tripod, no cable release, propped on a chair with my finger holding the shutter in bulb setting, releasing as motionlessly as possible
Neat. It is hard to focus on stars. I decided just to set the lens focus scale at infinity, and not use the widest aperture. Stop lens down two or three stops. Keep ISO low.

Hope the cloud cover lifts and I can try your suggestions.
Thanks for looking and giving me some excellent advice.
