• set manual white balance to 3200-3500K

@Mikhail Lukichev my Nikon3300 doesn't allow custom kelvin setting for White Balance so I will stick to Auto as the presets they have seem not suited for night photography (Auto, Incandescent, Fluorescent, Direct Sunlight, Flash, Cloudy, Shade).  Do let me know if any of the presets are closer to the desired 3200-3500 range? 

Appreciate these pre-trip setting guidance- thankyou!! I have got hold of a remote trigger that allows for multi-shot programming and have downloaded Sequator ready to play with the stacked image (I have a sub for Photoshop so looking forward to playing with the images we capture) 

Thank you also @Frederic for choosing a great location for the night (I have read its a Bortle 4 site which is impressive considering we are <1hour from most folks homes!)

Hi @Niki!

Not a problem, we can start with Direct Sunlight and try other options if it is not good enough 😃

@Jorge Stepniak Felippe could you please update us on which equipment (Camera model, lenses) you will be bringing ?

Hi it will be a Nikon D850 with wide angle lens and my iPhone as well just for fun 

[Mario Cornejo]

@Frederic - I regret to inform I will have to pass this meet up.  It is unfortunate as I just got a nice wide angle lens I wanted to try.

Thank you and look forward to a future meet up!
