The Whole Sky Photos The two images above are both from the same photo, taken at 10.50pm on Christmas Day 2014, three days after the new moon. It was a cold, clear night with no moon in the sky. The photos had a 10-second time exposure. It was taken with a Canon EOS 6D camera with Canon 15 mm fisheye lens, set to 8mm at 1600 ISO. Prints I've found that the image above and others that show bright stars against a dark background (such as these pictures of Orion) don't print well. Most of the stars cannot be seen on the print. However by converting the picture to become a negative (e.g. using image>adjust>invert in Photoshop) an image with black stars against a white background is created, and this does print well.
