Hi, astrophotography noob here. I've tried taking photographs of the night sky last night and I can see the stars clearly on the screen of my X-A3 but when I transfered the photos to my phone, they're not visible. I've tried connecting my camera to my tv via hdmi just to see if it will show but still the same thing. It will only show up on my camera but not anywhere else. Can anyone help me?

I've tried editing the photo in Lightroom but no matter what I do, the stars just won't show up. Not as clear as the ones on camera anyway. On the computer, I have to really zoom in just to see them. I used a manual focus, third party lens for this. Tried using the kit lens for astrophotography but the same thing happens. I live in the city and shot this from my balcony, pointing the camera upwards, but there are city lights everywhere. I wonder if that could be the problem?

I thought in this possibility: are you using Adobe RGB in place of sRGB (Setup Menu -> Color Space) ?

It looks to me like you have simply under exposed the image.  The LCD may be showing you an auto-brightness preview (where the camera does what it needs to do to show you the image) and not an exposure preview.  If you change the setting on the camera to have the LCD/EVF show you an exposure preview, you will see what the actual image will be when you press the shutter.

 

Also double check you have not accidentally changed the exposure compensation.  I have done that a couple of times and had it at -2 by mistake.  :(

      X Raw Studio works with image files on your computer - not the image files on the camera card

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?
