Hey everyone,

Yesterday I tried my first proper night sky shoot and I’m a bit stuck.

Gear:

- Sony A7R II

- Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG

- Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer 2i (WiFi)

- Tripod + remote trigger

I tried playing around with aperture going from f1.4 to f2.0. ISO ranging from 200 to a 1000, shutter speed 15sec, 30sec and BULB.

I used manual focus on the lens as well as shot in a fairly low light pollution area. Still the images look… meh. Not very sharp or detailed and overall kinda flat (see image link for reference)

I feel like I’m missing something fundamental.

Any advice or “you’re doing this wrong” is very welcome 🙏
