Astrophotography

Hello ... I am Mike in Orlando. New to digital photography unless you count 6 years on a camera/phone. I've been shooting film off and on since 1960 when I got my first Kodak at age 12. Started astro-photography back in 2000 with film. Pain in the ass taking pictures at night then having to wait several days to see what I did wrong (and brother did I do stuff wrong).
Now I have a Nikon D610 and a couple of lenses (Rokinon 24mm and a 24-85mm kit lense) and am interested in night shots especially the Milky Way. Not afraid of landscape and portraiture either.
Looking forward to commiserating with like minded individuals.

Welcome Paladin48 I too am interested in astrophotography. Too bad the Milky Way, at least the best part, will not appear in the night sky until late March, early April. The core should be viable in the early mornings. Download Stellarium for Windows, it's free, no cost to you. It, however, is not too intuitive, so a learning curve is needed, but it will tell you all about what is available in the night sky. I am in the opposite direction that you are, Las Vegas, so I have to deal with a LOT of light pollution. That 24 mm Rokinon is a good lens too. I have a 14mm Rokinon and think very highly of it. One nice thing about digital, you don't have to wait for a few days to see your mistakes, there right there for your viewing.
