You have to picture this scene at 5 am this morning: I am in my pajamas, putting the trash out to be collected, when I notice Orion hanging in a crystalline sky. I seem to remember something about stars in the scenes menu on the FZ150. Quick -- inside, grab the camera; basement, grab the tripod; find the tripod adapter plate, put it all together . . . pant, pant . . . outside . . . paging through the menu. Handheld night shot? No. Ahhhh, Starry night.
I can't see anything on the LCD or through the EVF, so I guess at the framing. I choose the 15-second mode, which includes a 15 second count-down, followed by a 15 second exposure.
So here's the result, 15 seconds, 25mm equivalent, ISO 200:
I think the exposure is a hair too long, the stars are starting to streak, but still . . .
Cheers, Jock
