Tips for shooting the stars!
1. Get Stellarium (star tracking program) and figure out where the Milky Way is going to be, and whether or not you can see it at that time of the year where you live
2. Be prepared to paint your foreground subject with light!
3. Get your wide angle lens, set your camera on a long enough exposure, your focus to where the stars are sharp as they can be, and experiment with ISO and aperture until you get a decent picture.
4. Take it in to LR and mess with WB until you get the colors you want, toggle the whites, contrast, sharpness, and other sliders (and maybe even paint with an adjustment brush some extra sharpness/clarity) until you get get nice looking stars against the night-sky!

Well, I put film in it and it works fine...
Another guy with a 645 (non-n version) said that his did the same thing.
I just bought the camera and I've only used rechargeable batteries.

I just bought the Pentax 645N with the FA 750mm f/2.8. When I put new batteries in it (rechargeable) I looked through the viewfinder and did not see any aperture reading showing up in the viewfinder, no exposure bar, the autofocus doesn't seem to be working, the shutter speed is that at constant 1000 in the viewfinder, and when in manual I get no focus confirmation. Does anybody have any ideas? Did I get a dud? Thanks in advance.
