You just never know when you will find yourself under a beautiful starry sky that you need to photograph. The problem is, if you’ve never photographed the night sky before it can be a little tricky. Thankfully the team over at Mango Street has put together a quick and easy guideline to help you.
Their tips in short:

2. Use the 500 rule.
3. Use live view to help you focus.
4. Use a shutter release or self timer to avoid camera shake.
5. Experiment with exposure times.
