The colourful rainbow lorikeets are a very common parrot along the eastern coast of Australia, they will often just keep an eye on you instead of flying off as you approach. Gum trees are also plentiful; they stand even stiller.

Hi,
I live on the south-east coast of Australia and am starting to have time to enjoy using the recently purchased K30 with the 18-135mm lens. My previous experience was a few decades ago with a pentax SLR and film.
The first week or so with this DSLR I just used the auto (everything) to take pictures so I could get the feel for it. I am impressed. We live on a hill and using the interval method it created some very good timelapses of sunsets.
Now, I am attempting to take photos of the night time sky. My initial attempts were reasonable, but I have not yet worked out how to manually focus the camera at night. The settings I used were:
Mode M
Focus mode MF (when using AF.S the shutter would not work - just the green autofocus light would flash)
ISO 3200
F3.5
Lens 18mm
interval 20 secs every minute
Shake Reduction on
Noise Reduction on
Before going out and investing in a GPS or other accessories, I am making sure I know the basics of using the K30
Does someone know where I can find a basic step by step guide to astrophotography using the K30?
Peter
