    I would have liked to see how you processed those images. From the raw back-of-the-camera view, I did not expect the stars would be that clear above the buildings.

    Great video, thank you! Can I ask, with the inbuilt intervalometer in the Sony, the shortest gap between the shots I can set is 1 second (A7iv). Your wonderful trails are gapless, so how did you manage that? Thanks!

    The trick is the short exposure time. I used 3.2 exposures. That means you need to process a lot more individual frames, they you'll have no gaps.

    I got a little nervous when you said you were going to start exposing in a city park! Nice work.

    Great video. Is there a way to turn off your Image Review mode? That would help prolong the battery time. 5:48 - beautiful image!

    I assume you are talking about the A7III. Yes you can turn it off. On the menu go to the Menu 2 and it's on page 7 of 9 under Auto Review: You can have it set to 10sec, 5sec, 2sec or turn it off.

    I was wondering how you were getting on. Glad to see you shooting and uploading a new video. As to the shots you took in the video. Did you have the camera level when shooting? Or did you straighten the buildings in post?

    It was close to level but I did use Lightroom's transform tools to do a mild straighten.

    Not sure why you'd need weather sealing for astro. Usually we shoot on clear nights...
