What IS the best Shutter Setting for Milky Way Photography? The answer is easy! How much star trailing can you handle in your images? Do you like to work hard on your focus only to ruin it with star trailing? Yeah, me either! So when I do Milky Way Photography I use the NPF Rule plus four seconds to get my best shutter. THIS IS A PERSONAL PREFERENCE but a great place for you to start. In this video I teach you how to find your NPF Rule for your LENS FOCAL LENGTH + APERTURE + CAMERA BODY by using the Spot Stars Pill inside the PhotoPills App.

June is the mid-point of the Milky Way Photography Season and marks the final month for Panorama Milky Way Photography. To celebrate that I am releasing a new Two Minute Tip video every day teaching a new aspect of Milky Way Photography! Today is Shutter and tomorrow is ISO!
