I've taken 30 second exposures of stars at night but they were too blurry for my liking. The earth never stopped rotating and I didn't have the gear to correct for the rotation. There's no way to get an accurate panorama on a moving subject unless all exposures are at the same time.
(Fifteen second exposures worked best for me.)
- mchristen 7y agoA good rule of thumb is (focal length / 500) to figure out your maximum exposure time before having blurry stars. To get around a 20-30s exposure you're looking at somewhere between 14-24mm focal length, ideally with the largest aperture you can afford.
