Today is #AstronomyDay! This photo captures the incredible beauty of the Milky Way - by correctly exposing for the night sky you can pick up so much more detail and colour.

Nikon School instructor @StevenMorrisPhotography's top tips for shooting better astro images:
1. The sturdier your tripod the less chance you have of it blowing around and ruining your stars.
2. Use a shutter release cable or the countdown timer in your camera, the fewer vibrations you have when taking your astro photo the more chance you have of nice round stars.
3. Try and capture your milky way shots away from light pollution.
4. Spend time achieving a perfect focus, you will capture finer detail in the night sky.
5. Don’t forget to switch your camera's lens to manual, the last thing you want is for your camera to try and autofocus as soon as you take your photo.
6. Open up your aperture and shoot from f/1.4 - f/2.8, the more light you can capture during your exposure the lower the ISO needed and the more detailed your image can become.
7. Switch your camera into manual mode and start with an ISO of 1600 and work your way up if necessary, don’t be afraid to push your ISO if your camera is capable.
8. Expose for as long as you can before you start to notice star trails (unless your shooting star trails then that’s different again)
9. Most of all review your images after each shot, check your histogram for a good exposure.
10. Don’t forget to have fun!
