Reduce your exposure time to get it darker. also you might want to clean that sensor!

[Anto Modded]

that was crows flying past, i thought the sensor was dirty too but its not. I will fine tune it some evening when i get the time and will wait for it to get fully dark.

[Anto Modded]

Sorry you were right, it is dirt on the sensor. my stupid mistake

Hey Anto - good to see you cracked it

From here you will be able to fine tune the technique to suit various situations.

Thanks for sharing your results and settings, I'm sure others will benefit from your experiences.

BTW, there is a tutorial from Rob Barron on sensor cleaning in the Tutorials Forum.

Great first try! Better than mine, but yes that sensor needs cleaning sharpish...

I will be interested to see your shot when it becomes fully dark but I think I will prefer the one you have taken at dusk.
