It's remarkable how these beacons of light vividly pierce the darkness plus how the colors stand out so bold and strong. I have wanted to take pictures of constellations, but my shutter speed on the digital camera only goes as high as eight seconds and I really need to double that for the night sky. I snapped a picture of Orion this week, but it's nowhere near as spectacular. So how did I do it?

Let me issue a challenge: Can you guess the secret of how to capture such a picture? (My family may comment, but they are not allowed to guess, because they probably already know the answer.)

The stars are always something I've wanted to learn about. A few months ago someone took a picture of Saturn from Laity Lodge with a telescope. You could see the rings and everything. I didn't know the sky was that accessible.
I'm not guessing your question, but I'm curious. Can you attach your digital camera to a telescope?
I have no idea. But I like it.
I know how you did it . . . youuuuuuuu................(computer freeze!)
Nice shot.
I would love to be able to take photos of stars and the moon. Can't wait to learn your secret.
Long exposure/wide apature/high iso? :)
