@_catherine_ Thank you for your comments and Fav Catherine, I had my camera on a tripod with remote shutter release, settings :- f20, 1/80th second, ISO400, exposure compensation at -3 stops, was using a 75-400 mm zoom lens set around 150 mm I think, could try using these as a starting point and play around to suit your camera, best of luck;)
@peterlgrave Thank you Peter for your comments, my first attempt early this year was not so sharp, as for the Stars we don't get that may clear evening sky's here but will have a go when possible;)
