my pic from last week outing, cloudy and too much light pollution

any idea how to capture milky way
i just giv a try at cameron highlands last week
seems like i get nothing from there, mayb its too cloudy =(
im using a6000 kit, could be lens problem?

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. 

Why is the sky looks so bright? Is this taken during a day time?

Interesting. I'm using an APSC SLR with Tamron 17-50mm 2.8F. I never get any star photo in my picture also even in long exposure. May I now how you guys get such stunning image to capture even Milkyway?? And how do you spot it/??

your camera and lens are good enough to capture milky way or star
most important is focusing and camera setting

i suggest u to follow group outing, so ppl can guide u on the spot

Thanks. If got outing then will get updated here?? Looking forward, But hope my work don't crash the time.

F-Stop: f/3.5    ISO speed: 1600.    Focal Length : 16mm    Exposure time: 25sec   

   

when is the next outing?

May i know what program is easy to use to identify milky way direction and best cpture time?

I also wonder how come you guys can capture stunning milky way. As for, when I try to capture, end up become shaky star trail.

Tripod and a faster shutter speed depending on your lens focal length. E.g. 24mm on FF you can use around 20 seconds. If 24mm on crop you use around 14 seconds.
