This way, you can use a flashlight without disturbing others who may be shooting. Double-check focus by enlarging an image on the back of your camera to ensure the stars are tack sharp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Set your white balance, shutter speed, f-stop, and ISO before leaving your car. This way, you can make minor adjustments in the field without struggling. A shutter speed of 20 seconds, the lowest f-stop possible, and an ISO of 1600 are good starting points.
