Leaving Friday Night Blues last night, I saw some interesting light on
a building, with Orion hanging out directly over the Alley:

That's a wonderful picture.
Thanks.
I tried a wide range of times and ISOs to reduce the noise in the sky,
but nothing seemed to work very well. ...
Has anyone worked out what gives the best results shooting a night sky
with a K20?
Gimme a break, that's better than I'd have thought possible. Instead
of asking for advice, want to pass on some tips as to how you got that
one? -T
You've heard of the shotgun approach? This was more like a chaingun.
I opened the lens all of the way up, and bracketed exposure by 1dB
(1/3stop) from not blowing any highlights on the building to fairly
good exposure on the sky for IIRC, ISO 100 and 400. I may have also
done 200.
After taking a gazillion frames, I then picked the best one.
I was hoping that there was a more direct method without Savaging my
equipment budget.
Crisp and clean. We hardly ever see such a clear starry night here in
town. Well done on the white balance too.
