best canon digital camera for night pictures image
Jay Pee
We're planning to buy a digital camera.. And i just saw this cheap digital camera called "Polaroid Q20 14.0 MP" Is 14 Megapixels perfect for even taking pictures at night?
Answer
Avoid "cheap" cameras. First of all, there a few things you seem to be misinformed about here:
Megapixels do not really matter unless you are making large, poster size prints, for example 11x14 and up. 14 Megapixels is more than enough for any average camera user. Secondly, megapixels have no effect on image quality or how the camera takes pictures "at night". NO camera takes good pictures at night without good lighting- cameras rely on light to form a picture. The only thing megapixels effect is the size of the image in pixels.
Also, stay away from polaroid cameras. Get a Nikon, Canon, or Fujifilm.

What are the best settings and lenses for astro-photography using only the camera and no telescope?
Kainkin
I have a Canon Digital Rebel XTi with the standard 18-55mm lens that has an aperture of 3.5-5.6 I think and was wondering what is the best setting for that camera and lens combination to get the best results for taking pictures of the night sky (in terms of shutter speed, aperture, white balance, etc.). I do have a tripod but it is not equipped to move with the planets--no equitorial mount if that is what it is called. Also, I would like to get an inexpensive but still nice additional lens that may be better suited for astro-photography without a telescope, any suggestions?
Answer
something to try, go into your menu and turn on the long exposure noise limiter, then, get a remote and a good, strudy, heavy tri pod, go to a place with a good view of the night sky, make sure its a clear, windless night, set up the cam on the pod with the remote attached, use about an F 16 - 20 Aperture and point the cam on the biggest grouping of stars... now, zoom as far as your lens will go and put your cam into manual mode, set the shutter to "BulB" mode, this will do this: when you hit the remote, it will open the shutter, let it stay open as long as you want it.. usuall 30 mins to an hour, then hit the remote again and it closes the shutter, now, let the camera write the image to the card, this will take about the same time as it did to take the shot. What youll get: Star trails... youll be able to see the trails of light in a circular pattern made by the stars moving across the sky while your cam was filming it.. but, you need to be absolutly, in a place where you will not have any ambient lighting at all and a place with no wind or vibrations from you walking around and such.
