    I use a Pentax K-30, I shot a picture at F/3.5, ISO3200, Shutterspeed at
    30sec and the pic I took looked like it was daytime. ??????My lens was a
    standard kit lens and I focused it to the limit (I don’t have Infinity)

    I know you’re suppose to take the pictures far away from concentration of
    light sources. But that option is not available to me right now. Will some
    sort of a light pollution filter be helpful?

    earth moves in that time i think. how can i avoid that.

    I love astronomy but I have no knowledge of photography. I’d love to take a
    picture like this but my camera is the new Cannon Eos I think? Do I need a
    better camera?
