Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us. Your write-up is easy to follow and these are the steps that I needed. This is what I have been wishing to do for a long time but wasn’t able to do due lack of to technical knowledge on how to do this. This is perfect!
Thank you for this quick tutorial. I took some incredible (for me) pictures of the Milky Way tonight using a Sony RX100-V (a fully manual point and shoot). The 500 rule was really key in helping me sharpen up my pictures.
