Re: focus

Michael,
I bought mine at this website for $110. I use it also for macro photography when I can bend my head too far to the ground.

Dear all, just want to inform you that my two nights at La Sallete was clouded out on the first night and snowed on the second night. Had great fun in the snow but no pictures to show... :(

Thanks to all for their replies.

This is not a ski resort but staying at a Monastery. There will be periods of Silence and Lights Out. Hopefully, it will be dark and not be too cold...(there are no heaters there)

Thanks Chris for the additional info.

Thanks Meng Lee and Weixing. Will not have any tracking equipment for the camera. Just a tripod. Perhaps I can only shoot star trails.

FY - Its somewhere in the French Alps where there is a monastery (La Salette). This trip is organised by my church.

Advice on taking pics with DSLR

Hi all, I will be going up a mountain in France (6000 feet) in June and will be bringing my Canon 400D. I would like to ask the experts here on what settings are recommended for taking pictures of the milky way and the night sky with a DSLR.

Thank you.

Don't forget that you will also need to buy two eye pieces for the bino viewer and the good ones don't come cheap...
