Set exposure for longer, open up the aperture , rest the camera on something stable like a blanket or park bench or buy a tripod. Get a camera/phone with a good sensor.

That be 500 pounds thank you.

Let's not forget about light graffiti as well with some mega-long exposures and/or mucking about in After Effects & Photoshop. (:

i prefer to get effects in camera as much as possible. long exposure is especially fun. have had some great results with that.

Indeed - just ran into that issue a bit with creating light graffiti in motion on a standard DSLR and had to resort to post-processing, though we figured it out eventually. Still def prefer a more direct/analog route where possible for sure. For stillframes shouldn't be much of a problem.

Here's a video we did with a dancer named David Elsewhere using the technique I mentioned earlier, esp. in the second nighttime half:

Wouldn't mind getting another crack at something like this as there are lots of elements I would improve personally but overall happy with the effect. (:

what's that green line coming down there?

 

High-powered laser for spotting/targeting. (: Quite handy for astronomy.

 

correct! we were looking at the hercules globular cluster, iirc!

this shot is nothing but long exposure.

oh, and welcome back skytree!

Right on - nice spot to check out! Meant to say nice scope btw. And thanks man. Good to see you're still here!

Cheers - I generally keep it on the DL but for anyone that really wants to know I'm happy to give some tips. (:

Ok well... Give me a few pointers.

Lots and lots of painstaking layering and transparency, to make a long story short - took heaps of time to render!

pointers.

not my scope, wish it was. that's several thousand $$$ of scope when you add the auto-tracking and computerised aiming.
