Very informative and can be used regardless of what level of a photographer you are. Looking forward to more instructional videos from Ben! Thanks for the article.
That way you can hit the shutter, remove your hands from the camera, and then the camera will shoot 2 or 10 secs later. Kind of strange to take my tutorial and regurgitate it in a blog format.. Great video and tips for taking photographs of a starry night sky.
Thanks and looking forward to more tutorials. Rushmore on a tour in about 2 weeks day and night along with a tour of Yellowstone. I have a Nikon D Being on a tour and not knowing how much set-up time I will have prompted me to ask about places in the parks and camera settings to advance the time I have for set-up.

In figuring your shutter speed with regards to star trailing, your end use should be a factor. If, for example, you are planning to print the image huge and people will view it from fairly nearby, you will want to limit trailing as much as possible.
If you are only going to post the image to Facebook or Instagram or some other social media platform where your viewers will probably just see it on their phone screen, you can stretch out your exposure a fair bit.
A little bit of personal taste and experimentation comes into play here. Where you will find your best setting depends too heavily on your setup and your situation for me to put a concrete recommendation here. Now, there is a workaround for this problem. You could give a tracking mount a try. It comes with its own pitfalls in terms of cost though they're not always as expensive as you think , complicated workflow and extra gear to carry. I chose not to address tracking mounts here as there is another article here on Improve Photography that fully addresses the topic.
My goal here is to go through the trade-offs so you can know which setting is best for you. Even better. These will certainly work, but again the question is: What is best? Generally, lenses are sharper if they are stopped down a little.
How much depends on the exact lens you are using. So just stop down a little, right? Well, the problem we run into again is light collection. This means that they need more time to collect the same amount of light. With a longer shutter speed, we can easily achieve proper exposure…except we saw in the previous section the problems with that.
So, it seems, we are stuck. There are a couple of ways to work this out though. If you follow the NPF formula from above and input a smaller aperture into your PhotoPills calculator, you will see that the shutter speed you can use without trailing is longer.
This is due to some physics principles that we do not need to delve into here. You will not be able to change the shutter speed enough to offset the reduction in light caused by stopping down. Furthermore, stopping down on some lenses can reduce significant vignetting caused by shooting wide open allowing you to collect light more efficiently. The Histogram gives it away. High ISO settings do not cause noise.
Yep, you read that correctly. High ISO is correlated with noise in an image but that does not equal causation. The real causes can be complex but put into the simplest of terms, noise in your images is caused by your exposure or lack thereof. In this context, exposure refers to the light that actually enters the camera system. This light comes from a combination of two elements; The amount of time the shutter is open and the size of that opening.
The following image shows the difference between shots where ISO was the only factor changed and the exposures were leveled in post. In fact, the opposite tends to be true. If a camera is ISO invariant, there is no discernible difference between each shot. In this example, with the 5D Mk IV, you notice that the shots at is quite noisy. This camera is not completely ISO invariant though it is better than some previous generations.
