Skylight Digital Camera
I have a digital camera, how can I make the best out of it with astrophotography?
First off, I know that a 55 mm camera or CCD camera would be the obvious solution to taking picture of the night sky. But I have this Olympus c-750 digital camera with 10x optical zoom, a wide angle lense, a circular polarizing filter, and a skylight filter, and wanted to know how I could make it useful at night. How can I make the camera more sensitive to light? I wish there was a way to somehow open the shutter as you would for a normal camera and let it take long exposed shots, but I -don’t think- this is possible. How could I atleast then slow the shutter speed? Is there anything else that I should know about, any other variables that would effect my shots? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
That camera will do exposures as long as 16 seconds, which is not long by the standards of astrophotography, but pretty long by any other standards. You probably need to use manual mode to access that shutter speed. See page 24 of your manual.
