Any idea whether it is possible to capture the milky way tomorrow night at genting highland?
*
is there any spot in genting that is free from light pollution? i dont think there is any, if you managed to find, make sure you have clear horizon view on east and southeast, which means no obstruction, that way you should be able to see milky way rising from horizon around 12am

new moon night is next friday and saturday

cool....must be difficult to climb at night since there is no light and has to rely on torch light only?

especially for someone like me who dont usually go hiking will be more difficult laugh.gif

Awhhh tomorrow I can't...

City area kinda hard to get clear Milky Way, must go to a place where less light polution at night... I wonder Genting Highland have such place during night time.
*
I doubt you can, because genting got a lot of lights

guys whr in sekinchan can get good loc
can we see mw with naked eyes?
*
possible but difficult, i heard sekinchan has quite a lot of light pollution, you might need to go further northeast to get a better shoot

depends on the light pollution, it is difficult to see the milky way with bare eyes, but you can see a cluster of stars at the center of milky way

I did iso 6400. But I think it was too high (noise is taking a heavy toll on the IQ). I've just read that long exposure noise is significantly lower than high iso noise. So, next time, I will try iso 3200 or less with longer exposure setting (was using 20 sec) perhaps will try 25 sec instead.  hmm.gif

depends on your lens, the longer the focal length the shorter exposure you can have else you will see star trail

QUOTE(The Net Surfer @ Jun 9 2016, 08:57 AM)
Why is the sky looks so bright? Is this taken during a day time?
*
is midnight around 1-2am, if i shoot at ISO 6400, 30s @ F2.8 it would be overexpose

i only shoot around ISO 800
