How long does it take to get exposed to the Milky Way?

A good starting point is to take 30-second exposures at ISO 1600, using an f-stop of F/2.8. By combining multiple images together (stacking), you can create images of the Milky Way with an even stronger signal (the amount of light collected) and reduced noise.

How do you do a timelapse on astrophotography?

I use manual mode, an aperture of f/2.8—or wider if I can—around 20 seconds exposure, with ISO 6400. This should give you lots of stars in your shot. I usually set my white balance to fluorescent, and then do colour grading later in post processing. Keep the ‘500 rule’ in mind.

What is the best time interval for time-lapse?

The best timelapse interval for this is 2-3 seconds. The fast motion of traffic already adds interest to your timelapse. Take it to the next level by setting longer shutter speeds to create blur and light trails.

How do you make a timelapse night to day?

Since you are shooting a day-to-night time-lapse, you will need to set up your camera with day settings to start with. To make it easy, select ISO 100, an aperture between f/6.3 and f/8, and adjust your shutter speed. We will change all 3 settings to create the day-to-night transition.
