Hi all, took my first shot with the Milkyway in it. Any advice to get better shots without too much noise and blur and without any special tools etc.? Also, what du you think those two stripes are? Appreciate any advice and suggestions. EXIF in file.

Fujifilm X-T10, 14mm @ f2.8 ISO 1600

reg,

From my limited experience with this lens you setting are just about right. I would raise the ISO a little in this case but stay within the 1600 - 3200 range. I feel that there is too much noise beyond ISO 3200 for a single exposure. 2500 would be optimal here bit this is just my opinion -:)

There is tremendous amount of information in this shot - if you have the patience and if you have the RAW version you can find hundreds of sites and youtube videos on how to process an image like this - you may be very pleasantly surprised at the end.
