Hi all, I enjoy shooting landscapes under to stars. I would like to hear from those of you who have tried this with your Fuji systems. If you haven't, speculation is not what I'm after. The reason I ask is that shooting at night under dark skies, away from city lights, brings unique photographic challenges all on its own. Cameras perform differently under these conditions. Though I'm not looking for perfection, just Fuji user experiences since I'm considering one of the newer Fuji models (X-Pro2, X-T2). I've been shooting night landscapes for a while now with Canon and currently with Sony FF. Overall, I've found Sony mirrorless more challenging to use under these conditions. Though of course it has other strengths apart from these types of shots; and there are workarounds. DSLR's have much nicer OVFs which work better for me in dark areas. With Sony, its really hard to turn off all the LCD and still use the functionality needed to get the shot. Most of my images are longer exposures (30+ seconds) where I do not want the LCD on for that entire duration. I'm wondering how Fuji systems work in these sort of night conditions? Can one turn off the LCD for long exposures at night? How about other challenges like focusing at infinity with stars in focus, long exposure sensor heat producing additional noise, etc...? Anyone on here doing these types of shots? Even if a newbie, I'd like to hear and/or see your experiences with Fuji at night. Here are a few examples of what I am talking about with the Sony A7: Thanks, Derek

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 recently had the opportunity to visit a remote South facing beach in Wales, UK - I thought I'd try and capture the Milky Way with my X-T2 and 16mm f1.4 I wrote a brief article with further images and information on how I took the shot

hey guys. I rated today's shoot in camera X-T2, now those stars dont show in LR. I'm amazed how little is on the net at all, and no real answer. Nobody doing that rating in camera? Thanks for your help ! cheers
