Actually, I've never tried that. I have taken a series of 30 sec exposures and combined them into a star trails photo. Still a few things to try, yet, I guess! And thanks for the comments!

Sure, your shots were really nice, beautiful images. The cool thing about photography, as with any art, is that we're limited only by imagination, and our imagination is unlimited.

Beautiful work, well only work if you do not enjoy it. Does the Da version make it any easier to make images of say the Milky Way? I believe the difference is the IR filter over the sensor is that correct. Just curious I know people make images of the galaxy with standard bodies, I myself have not been to a place dark enough yet to do so. But loved your shots

Nice photos, I was thinking about upgrading to this version from my 18-270, looks like a great lens .

Thanks for the comments. As for my camera, it still has the IR filter, but it has a filter that allows more of the deep red to pass. Any camera can do Milky Way shots, you just need dark skies and about 30 sec exposures. Not hard at all! If you have really dark skies, and some sort of tracking device, you can go longer...

thanks, it is the dark skies I have to search out, I live near the Blue Ridge Parkway I need to get up there sometime and spend the night or part of. Thanks for the info on the camera was curious what the difference was.

What beautiful shots of the night sky!

I just received my 16-300 Tameron Friday, so took it out to try for some meteor shots. Didn't catch any meteors, but had a good time anyway. Here are a few shots at 16mm. Focus at night is always difficult, and there is just a hint of star trailing, due to my set-up. Still, I was happy with the results, and think the lense will be a keeper.

Heck with the meteors, dlmorris, your shots are really, really beautiful! Wall hangers! I think #3 is the winner for me.

There is website caked "Dark Sky Finder" that is very helpful.
Really!! will have to check that out, I already use programs to figure out when is the best times as far as moon phase and such but have not messed with it for awhile. The last time it was about 20 degrees out and I just wanted to find out how much light there really was in my town...horrible and we have a dark town.
thank you for the name of program
