Indeed! when using an overexposure everything is visible from anywhere!

This was a single shot exposed for ten seconds. Standard astro photos are exposed for thirty seconds. If we were limited to one second exposures, astrophotography wouldn't exist. 🙂 This was a particularly strong storm that was visible as far south as Nevada.

30 seconds is way to long and causes streaking of stars, also you seemed to have missed the sarcasm in the previous post so il edit to /s to make it easier!

I do astro regularly. 30 seconds is too long if you're using a zoom lens, but with milky way photography and a wide angle lens, there's no noticeable streaking. I didn't miss your sarcasm. 👍
