To capture the Milky Way and star clusters and nebulae, it is recommended to shoot images in RAW for later adjustments.įocal length/Optical zoom (COOLPIX P900/P610) With astrophotography, a workflow including the post-processing of images from RAW format is normally employed. The self-timer function is useful for cameras like the D3300 which do not feature the exposure delay mode. This also allows you to set a long exposure time over 30 seconds (and over 900 seconds with the D810A), which cannot be set up with the camera alone. You could also set the camera to exposure delay mode to the same effect. It is best practice to use a remote control or remote cord to release the shutter, and avoid pushing it with your finger. Preventing camera shake is of the utmost importance in astrophotography.

With Time setting, the shutter opens with a single full-press of the shutter-release button, then it closes with another full press. With Bulb setting, the shutter remains open while the shutter-release button is being pressed, and it closes with the release of the button. For an exposure time over 30 seconds, the camera needs to be set to Bulb or Time. Long-exposures are commonly used in astrophotography to accumulate faint light from the stars. This allows easy shooting of the starry sky with the fixed-mount method for beginners.

By setting the camera with a high ISO sensitivity, a fast shutter speed can be used to achieve correct exposure. High image quality after long exposure time at high sensitivity is required.
Superb performance at high ISO sensitivity A wide variation of effective pixels from 16.2 megapixels in the FX format providing superior high sensitivity performance with a large pixel pitch, to 36.3 megapixels for capturing ultra-high-definition images of star field is available. All the current Nikon digital SLR cameras feature over 15 megapixels. Generally speaking, excellent high ISO sensitivity performance and a large number of effective pixels are regarded as advantageous factors for astrophotography. Sufficient number of effective pixels on the image sensor The power of their super-telephoto zoom rivals that of astronomical telescopes, achieving amazing close ups of the moon and even capturing images of the planets. The camera’s compact and lightweight body makes an excellent companion for casual shooting of the stars, and despite the smaller size, its image sensor size is more than adequate to produce beautiful images of the starry sky.Ĭompact cameras in general are not recommended for shooting star clusters or nebulae, but the COOLPIX P900 and P610 are exceptions. The Nikon 1 J5 featuring backside illumination image sensor is the best option for astrophotography use. Nikon 1-series Advanced Cameras with Interchangeable Lenses They are ideal for almost any category of astrophotography. The larger image sensor of digital SLR cameras compared to that of Nikon 1 or COOLPIX cameras means it is able to receive faint light from the stars effectively, resulting in brilliant images.
