Try a D800. Now that's loud :-)

I have a similar issue with night images but I had been getting a red streak. One thing I have yet to try is covering the viewfinder as I wonder if light was coming through from there. Was your ...

Ref The quote : No. You said, you got the Err-message. This is almost always a shutter/mirror stuck issue - and is most of times but not always, due to age and/or wear. In no way it's similar to ...

I shoot weddings regularly with a D750 and D800.  The D750 is my main camera as the autofocus works spot on using any of the focus points.  As much as I love the extra resolution of my D800 it's a ...

Thankyou for your help Jon

There are a lot of street lights in the area but not directly in the garden where I was. I haven't noticed light leaks with the combination before. just a thought. Could the light have gone through ...

I was using my Nikon D750 and Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 to try and capture a few images of the Andromeda Galaxy a couple of days ago. The camera was on an EQ5 mount and was tracking the galaxy from ...

I have recently bought the Nikon 20mm f1.8. Not as wide as the Samyang 14mm which I also have but I prefer it for two reasons. It is f1.8 compared to f2.8 which is advantageous for Astro ...

Is it not possible if using 9 points that it has selected an area of contrast adjacent to the face? I would have tried with single point first before giving the camera options to use adjacent points. ...

I had a Tamron 70-300 which I bought new. Mine was very sharp up to about 200mm but thereafter I thought was soft at its widest aperture setting. Closing it down a couple of stops helped but imho ...

My D750 is was bought in late 2014 and was subject of the first shading recall. As it was warrantied for 2 years I got it done even though in real time shooting I never experienced it. It was sent ...

My D750 was purchased in late 2014 and was one of the bodies subject of the first recall for the shading problem. Although it never caused me a real problem in the field I could reproduce it if I ...

Hi Phil To preserve the detail in the sky I find it easier to work on bringing out the detail in the Milky Way and then layering the processed version over the original . You can then effectively ...

Had a bit of a play around with the image in Lightroom and Photoshop.  i am no expert as still trying to get the best out of post processing the Milky way myself. Your image was a good image to ...

I think one of the main advantages of D8 series of cameras has been the high resolution and cropping ability. To me it somewhat makes teleconverters redundant. interesting results though as it had ...

Is it soft or is it back/front focusing and what aperture are you using? If it's wide open at F1.8 or similar and you are using a scaled target then you can adjust for back or front focus as you ...

Don't forget that you are using these lenses wide open where generally speaking they don't perform at their best in terms of sharpness. I considered the Samyang 24mm F1.4 but there were quite a few ...

Thanks for your reply. I am using a Skywatcher 500mm refractor with my DSLR for deep sky objects etc.

I have an EQ5 mount with polar finder but I am not convinced I am aligning up correctly as I seem to get drift after about 90 seconds. if I use the app on my phone do I simply rotate the RA until ...

Thankyou very much
