Comment on The loss of dark skies is so painful, astronomers coined a new term for it

Thank you! I’ve been wanting to take a long exposure night sky. And your advice is perfect!

Dslr? You can (and should) practice more locally. Theres enough stars to figure out what lens/shutter speed combos work in addition to looking up the rule of thumb equation. But none of us ever take that advice anyway
