Thank you for the warm welcome in the forum The 20 seconds are my experiences for images that are not tracked! With “our neighbors” it even worked ad hoc from the car roof with 15 seconds and a 10 second advance trigger! It was 80 KM west of Nantes France early late summer morning on vacation without a tripod or Vixen GP mount!. I use the camera to slow down, to balance out work; that's why I make slides like I did 40 years ; they're called JPgs ooc today! It shouldn't be work. . . . I use Olympus Master 2.3 (out of the first digital and af Cam system) for crop reduction for the web and here and there B/W conversion. The Sony (a7 + Canon FD Lenses) data will not be changed; Fuji allows itself to be occupied by Olympus; but the camera is called correct. If you mainly use TTartisan manual lenses, of course no lens data is given. I use the X-A1/2/3 because of its Bayer sensor and the compactness with TTartisan lenses. I must say I am a 23mm / 35mm looking guy how sametimes use the 35mm/50mm as a "Normal-Optic" ; -)

everything is brought to the top point by jerryy Perhaps the hint that "seeing" the clarity of the sky without thermals (for example in the second half of the night in summer when the country has cooled down) brings the chance for good photos. This works best far away from large cities with large amounts of light pollution. After many AF attempts, I gave up and only use manual optics whose infinity is very well adjusted. But you then have to enter “Photo without lens” on the camera and set the manual focus. An example would be a 23mm or 35mm TTartisan which is available for a low price; and they have three screws on the circumference of the distance ring with which you can actually adjust the worm to infinity with the scale at the stop. The 300 rule actually just says "the longer the focal length, the shorter the possible exposure" Example 300/ 35mm (or 500/ 53mm full format) = 9.6 seconds so a maximum of 10 seconds. Since the "rule" is 300/12mm = 25 sec (500/18mm full format) =28 sec, ? So you can expose with 8 mm then 38 sec on crop 1.5 and even 41 sec with 12mm full format!! BUT THAT IS WRONG! The limit of 20 seconds (for short focal lengths) or better 15 seconds should NEVER be exceeded. Anyone who adheres to this also receives round stars !

Car Top 10 selftimer 15 sec @f2 fuji X-A1 Zonlai 22mm F1.8 crop Yes, a mechanic old school Objectiv is easyer to get to infinity The X-A1 is astro as yous ee easy the M42 Shooting without optic AND do this SAVE like in C
