I'm just looking for some advice - I've just bought my Tamron lens (17-50 f2.8) so that I could hopefully take some photos of the stars, it's basically all I can afford at the moment but I like it, it seems like a nice lens. I live in a very light saturated area and it's cloudy tonight so I couldn't really test it out, but I had a quick go in the back garden when the clouds cleared. There were two things that I was uncertain about:
1. I took a 20 second photo (I wasn't bothered about start trails), largest aperture at ISO 6400 - there was kind of some stars there when I checked but it was very dark and I could only really see some vague star dots when I zoomed in on the resulting image.
2. I took another one at 6 minutes to just see how much light would get in (a fair bit) and see how long the star trails were and it was all just a bit of a mess. (better results with my standard lens but I understand why). When I stopped the exposure though my camera (Canon EOS 100D) said 'BUSY' for absolutely ages - about 5 minutes. It didn't do this with my other lenses. Do you think this is because of the data that my camera was trying to process or do you think it was because of my memory card? I just really have a standard SDHC 32GB SanDisk card.
Any pointers are, as always, very much appreciated
